I sat on the railing of my balcony, my knees touching my chin. I wore comfortable Pjs with my white hair sticking to my head because of the dampness in the in the cooling night air. How did they know my real name? My old one at least? I shook my head and sighed, I had lived in a small village near the coast of a Savage land in my old world, by Savage I mean people who steal your electric cables, shoot you dead just because you have a weird skin colour, assault and harm you on many levels, strike against schools to open up when they are the reason it's closed in the first place, goverment who refuse to help the poor and corrupted cops who would tell a lone mother with four children in the back seat to pull up on the high way and threaten to arrest that person if she does what she did ever again(she had gone to the nearest petrol station to stop) (Auth: Okay, went off topic) South Africa, near the coast line but far from Cape Town. I worked in my very own shop called Misty Crafts, where I made wooden toys, furniture and music instruments. I had wanted to become a forger but apparently it was banned from society. I remember that morning at around 12:00 that two little boys had ran into my shop, nearly knocking everything in their path over.

"Lilluim! Lilluim!" They both call as they jumped excitedly from one place to another, they came to a screeching halt at my feet, pure blue eyes stared up at me in hope and I gave a helpless giggle, ruffling thieyr hairs I held two boxes up. Both containing a musical Hip hopper or ballerina.

"Thank you! Mommy says we can visit you this evening! " Says the Brown haired boy named Jamey.

" Oh, well, no, not tonight, I'll be working till midnight this time. So you'll have to come another time. " I say smiling apologetically.

" Awwwwwww! " They complained. I opened my arms and they hugged me, I snickered at their adorableness and ruffled their hair once more in goodbye, as they stormed off to go to the Library next door. I shook my head a smile playing on my lips at the memory, those two always came to bother me in the mornings and nights, in the morning to greet me and at nights because I had to sing them to sleep, because their mother couldn't sing cause she was a mute, also my best friend. I smiled even more, now they won't have to struggle so much, I had made enough to help them with their own shop for five years and if they had sold all that was in my shop like I had told them to do in my testament then it should last for 10 years minimum. They had been looking after me since I was a kid and I've always been a burden because they could never quite make enough to sustain us all, which left us with not much, but enough to survive, I was happy with what I had but I've always known that no one had expected me to do anything to make up for my stay. I shrugged and jumped down onto the balcony ground. And right into the arms of a very muscular person, my body froze and I stopped breathing as my eyes snapped up and met with a pair of green eyes that had widen in surprise, he pushed me against the railing to steady the both of us, his arms snaking around my waist. My mind went blank as I stared up at Derek, when did he get here?
