Natasha and Mia walked together to the nearby alley to a very small apartment where they rented two of the servant's rooms in the adjacent blocks. Well they could only manage to pay for servant rooms which one of the servants rented out to earn a little extra. Natasha would go to college in the morning while Mia had to stay back since she couldn't continue her studies further. Mia worked in the apartment as a maid during the day and sold flowers in the evening. She worked very hard.
That day Ron came back happy from the school and Mia gave him some broth to eat. While she watched him happily finish his food, Ron spoke to her about his school and said " once I grow up, I will earn a lot of money and my sisters won't have to work ever !" Mia laughed and hugged him tight.
Mia soon got ready for work and as usual sat with her Diary to write which she did everyday.
Mia's View—
Dear Diary,
Why this has to be like the way it is? I got so scared when those filthy men grabbed my wrist in the park. If only I had someone to protect me. Ever since I remember I have only cared about others. I wish one day I will find my prince who will care about me, Love me and protect me!
When will I find him? Will I ever find him?
I finished writing my thoughts and hid the diary in my suitcase below the old clothes and moved out with a smile. I was ready again for another evening.
I walked again down the street wondering if I should change my location. I feel something strange nowadays when I sell flowers near the club. As if someone watches me ! The feeling is weird and then after the incident in the park, I am not sure if it was a good idea to still be in the same locality. Thinking for sometime, I finally decided to go southwards towards the Merlin block area. It was although little isolated but there was a Big Hotel " The Grands" where rich people visited throughout the night and may be I could have a better luck!
I walked almost more than a kilometre and reached the place. It was already dark outside but it didn't bother me since the Hotel area was flooded with bright lights. I observed many guests going in and many coming out of the hotel. Indeed the place turned out to be lucky for me and I finished selling all my flowers by midnight around 12'. I decided to bring more flowers the next day and felt happy about my day's earnings. I remembered that I still have to go to the club where Natasha worked and inform her about my new place and that I will be heading home sooner.
I kept walking towards the club and after reaching the vicinity felt the strange feelings of being followed again! I walked faster and faster but before I could reach the club someone grabbed me from behind and covered my mouth with his hand. I tried to scream but he quickly pulled me inside a car and drove away.
I was fighting all the way kicking at the bustard who held me tight in his grip. I realized that they were the same guys who harassed me in the park. I was scared to hell ! I didn't know what to do and scratched the man holding me right on his faced\ with my sharp nails and he screamed in pain while holding his face with his hand, While the other couldn't act immediately since he was driving the car. I quickly jumped off the car taking advantage of the situation and hit hard on the road. I felt a sharp pain on my head which was bleeding. My legs were weak and were bleeding too. But this was not the time to worry about that because I had to run as fast as possible! And I did!
I saw those bustards chasing me and I ran even faster and faster without looking back. My head throbbed and my legs hurt. I had lost my shoes and my bare feet bled but still I didn't stop until I could no more run and blinded by fear and despare I hit something hard ! No someone hard!
I breathed heavily and slowly looked up to see two pairs of light brown eyes which stared at me as cold as death. His long brown hair was flowing in the air at the back and there was a calmness on his face, almost so emotionless that I couldn't figure out if I should be relieved or even more scared. My vision went blur and my body went limp and he caught me with his hands. I whispered " HELP "
He held me in his arms tightly and looked at those bustards who came chasing me. They were having Guns pointed towards us. I frowned ! I was frightened seeing those men with guns and was afraid that even he won't be able to save me. May be this was the last moment of my life. May be I will die without finding my prince ever ! While all those thoughts were running in my head, I clinged to the stranger even more and held his arms tighter.
I saw one of the men with the gun say " leave her to us and go away" and before I could understand anything, something happened very fast, as if some whirlpool of wind moved around those filthy men and they immediately collapsed on the ground bloodless and blue.
I was shocked and looked at them and then to my Savior wide eyed and fainted after whispering " My Prince ?"
