is that me?

It was so dark at night and so noisy. Knights were busy looking around. " search every place! don't miss even a single spot" winter knight's captain David who was leading his knights in the forest to search the person who invaded the duke's private campsite. "did your side find any clue?" red knight's captain zan who was also leading his knights in forest asked him. "no, what about your side?" David replied to him and asked him if they have found any. "we are still searching"zan replied by giving a hand signal to search farther deep in forest to his knight troops. " but who could be living here in these dangerous places and how did they sneak in the duke's private camp with so many knights guarding the area?" david said while searching clues. There was a piece of clothes stuck in bushes. zan noticed it and pulled it out. "This can be of the thief's clothes." David said while looking at the grounds. There were foot prints that followed in the witch's forest. "that's where a witch resides " zan said while scratching his hairs. " let's report back to Duke" david said. Then they left with other knights to their base.

..

Duke who was standing in front of his campsite was looking at guard knights with a fierce look who were responsible for guarding his campsite. Duke was angry "speak! how did this happened?" he asked while holding his sword. knights were trembling in fear"we beg your pardon my lord" we didn't see any one enter" we were changing the shifts at that time so we didn't see anyone leave" Knights were crawling on the ground while beging him that they were guilty to not notice. "scram" Duke ordered them to leave then he went inside the camp. butler followed him behind. his camp was all messed up as if someone was searching for something. The little butterfly was also missing."who dared to break in my place" duke said as he was so angry. Butler kept silent and looked at ground. Duke sat on the chair and hit the table with his fist as he was staring at the bed. He clenched his fist and frowned while putting his other hand on his forehead. He recalled that when he left for night walk, he felt strange magic flowing in the forest's air but soon that strange magic disappeared as if distracting him from something that he should be unaware. As he came back to his camp , it was all messed up and the butterfly was not there where he left it sleeping like someone broke in and took it away. He called his butler and ordered him to gather everyone. Butler went out and called captain david and zan to gather their knights. Everyone gathered while duke was in angry mood. Knights who were guarding hi camp were already kneeling on the other side. He gave command to david and zan to search for the invader. Everyone quickly left and that's how it happened. He was sitting on the chair " argh" he sighed angrily while looking out side. some time later, someone came " my Lord we have came to report." "come" duke replied. Then david and zan entered with a piece of clothe. butler who watched david and zan enter noticed the piece of sheet that was of duke's bed sheets and then he looked to the bed and the sheet was not there." we have found this piece of clothe near the witch forest" david said " so the thief is witch?" duke questioned while looking at the clothe. Then butler interrupted "my Lord this is the piece of your bed's sheet." Then duke who noticed stood and came forward and took the clothe. He hold it while putting his other hand on his chin."hmmm did the invader take it away?" duke talked to himself while David, zan and butler were confused at what was the duke referring to. " let's go" duke said but butler interrupted "but it's too late and at this hour that area is filled with various poinous fragments" duke looked back and thought for a while and then he asked David and zan to rest and ordered butler to change sheets. Butler came with new sheets and changed them. duke who was looking outside sat on the bed and looked at the side where he left butterfly. " tomorrow I'll retrieve you from that witch" duke said while grabbing the pillow.

....

In the middle of night somewhere in the dark forest, A girl with sheet covering her body like a dress ,d fair skin, dark blue and purple coloured hair, dark blue eyes and bare foot was running. she ran for more then three hours and now she was tired " huff..huff" she was breathing hard " did I run too far " she looked back " where is this" she looked around and asked for cloudy who was with her. "it's witch's forest, I guess" cloudy replied while checking the area." what! witch? you didn't tell me about witches " she asked while grabbing him "aaa" cloudy yelled as she was shaking him. " sorry I forgot so please let me go" he begged as she was angry with. she let him go but suddenly cloudy started to disappear " oh my time has come..." he told her as he faded away. "huh! where are you leaving me in this scary forest?" she asked but the cloudy disappeared. "ah.. he told me earlier that he would soon disappear but what should I do?" she mumbled " ah but how did I turn into human so suddenly" she recalled what happened before she come to the forest ....at the duke's camp when he left she felt her body felt strange as if being pressed and suddenly a light emitted. She turned into human without knowing how? she opened her eyes and first thing she noticed was beautiful, slime, long and fair legs of a women. " am I dreaming of beautiful legs then she sat on the bed while scratching her hair with her one hand, "huh?" she looked at her hands and touched her face. "did I swip body with someone's body this time?" she asked but then she noticed that she she was all naked and covered herself with blanket and looked around. "huh? but why am I still here"she remembered that this was that man's bed so she stood up and looked out. There were guards outside the camp. she was afraid to be found. Then she called out cloudy in low voice "cloudy are you here?~" suddenly a wind blow come "I thought you forgot me hm" cloudy pouted and turned his back. "huh? I forgot" she replied while covering herelf with blanket and said "help I don't know what happened to me to turn into human?" cloudy looked at her " sigh... I didn't know you could turn into human too" he looked out and then said "it's dangerous for you to stay here as human" he told her while pointing outside. She understood as she was on the bed of the man who was already giving her warnings but she asked " how come it's dangerous if I am human? I can ask for help right" she said with innocent face. cloudy sighed at her stupidness. "huh..you don't get that right ?" he said while pointing at her. She looked at herself and replied "what?" cloudy looked around for a mirror and then put it in front of her. Mina was surprised when she saw herself in mirror. " is..is that me?" she said while toucher her hair, cheeks and nose "such a beautiful face, these soft lips, long lashes... I can't describe this beauty ahhhhh I am in love with my self" she said while hugging the mirror. looking at her expression "so you understand why I said it's dangerous right" mina looked at the cloudy as she realized that what he meant earlier and then she spoke while touching her face " I got it because I am so beautiful" cloudy was surprised at her sudden answer and sighed "at least you realized it" cloudy went out and come back and told her to follow him to escape from there. But mina was off clothes so she searched for spares clothes with cloudy who messed the whole room but as there were no spare clothes she decided to use sheets of bed to make clothes as she was previously designer so making clothes was easy for her. Then they both sneaked out as the guards knights were changing their shifts they both run to the other side of camp where knights were sleeping. cloudy looked around and then they both run to the forest "hey what if someone saw us?" cloudy reassured her there was none but she again said as they already had messed the inside of camp. "don't worry I already took care of it earlier" cloudy said to her while looking sides of forest. "so where are we going" she asked as he was leading the way "somewhere safe" he told her while looking ahead. "you know this forest?" she asked him but he didn't responded to her and kept going. After entering deep in forest he suddenly told her that he might suddenly disappear as he was running out of mana and it was better for her to save her energy. Mina who didn't catch what he was telling her asked him what he meant by that. "listen I only explain once" cloudy stopped "we are connected each other by spirit contract that even I don't know how you were able to make it with that butterfly body but right now your body is running out of mana so we won't be able to meet for a long time until you recover your mana." Mina who didn't understand even a single word that he spoke "stop I don't get this..contact? mana?" cloudy who had no time to teach her every thing "hey you remember how contracts work the other day" asked cloudy . Mina recalled what he told her the other about contacts between human and spirits. "but you said theres no longer now" she said "yes but you are special case". Mina was confused . suddenly cloudy noticed something then he made a big wind blow and then he took mina with wind while the piece of sheet tore off her in the bushes and she flew in deep forest. mina shouted as she was flying in air "why so sudden?" . "I didn't know he will escape from my magic so early" he mumbled to himself. mina who could not hear him asked "what ??". after some time. cloudy looked around and landed her on the grounded then they both started running he told her to just follow that path and not to look back. Then they reached at the witch's forest. that's how she wondering alone the witch's forest. "ah that stupid cloudy why took me here in the witch's forest" she angrily kicked the tree "ouch" her foot was swelled as she was bare feet and hurted herself. After calming down she looked around "he told me to follow this path" she walked straight suddenly the creepy noises of forest started "eek" she yelled as she saw many eyes coming from dark bushes looking at her. They were hungry wolf monster. Their saliva was coming from their open mouth. "I am doomed" she said as she was so scared but they suddenly run away. "huh?" she was surprised that they suddenly left. She sighed with relief but suddenly she felt chills from her back as if something was behind her. She turned back to see. "aaaaaa" she yelled as soon as she shadow looking her from back with a creepy smile at her " hehehe". Shadow reached its hand to her....
