((I thought to make a story of my characters start to Italy, as she is leaving her homeland. The title means my character was born to one family that shortly died, fostered to another, then ran away to a new one because the last one were greedy, mean people. And I mean dyed as in her name changed 3 times. Her last name changed from Windsor (birth name) to Nimpala to Donovan to her adopted name Storm.))

America, Winter of 1894

"All aboard, we set sail in two minutes!" The ship captain walked on board. The dock workers were untying ropes to the ship. Reina stood on the boat a small distance from the rail. She saw many people cheering and waving goodbye, all with smiles. Some even had tears.

Reina was happy to be leaving. She had nothing left in this land. Her birth parents dead, greedy foster parents, then adopted parents that gave her money to leave the country. She never once felt a sense of peace like many do.

"Retract the bridge!" the captain shouted. The bridge was withdrawn and the ship horn blew. The ship slowly lerched forward.

Reina sighed in relief.

Italy, ports of Naples, Summer of 1895

The ship docked and the boarding bridge was extended. Reina was one of the first few off. She quickly used what little money she had to purchase a carriage to a city out of the ordinary.

"That's an odd place to go miss, but I can take you," the carriage driver said. The ride was to take a few hours.

Outside of Bon Bon

"Here we are, ma'am." The carriage driver tipped his hat to Reina as she stepped from the rider's seat. She smiled as he waved goodbye.

"Now what?" she said as she walked to the edge of town.

"If you don't care to," she said, "but I didn't bring much. A small suitcase with a few personal belongings." She smiled weakly. Her eyes wandered to the entrance of town.

"I wonder how this town will take me in," Reina thought to herself.

"I am Reina Storm," she said with a smile. She stuttered for a second on her words, then dropped her suitcase and hugged Kyle.

"Thank you. You're the first person to actually care..." A tear ran down her cheek.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Oct 2009 Posts: 4247

Kyle Smiled hugging her "back your welcome " he pats her on the back doing so "im always happy to help if you need someone "

Reina Storm · Rank: Senior Member Joined: 14 Sep 2012 Posts: 340

She stepped back and wiped the tear from her cheek. "Sorry for the suprise hug... I've been through a lot," she said. She turned to grab her suitcase from the ground.

Crimson was working on a nearby house and could help but overheard the conversation. Crimson never really liked to ease drop but with sonar hearing it hard not to pick up a few things.

Crimson set down his tools and walked over to Kyle and the newcomer. He stuck out his hand for Kyle to shake it and smiled.

"Sorry mate couldn't help but over hear that this fine las is in need of a place to stay?" Crimson then reached out to kiss the back of the newcomers hand and smiled.

"Crimson O'Toole at your service Miss." Crimson said after he kissed her hand.

Reina Storm · Rank: Senior Member Joined: 14 Sep 2012 Posts: 340

(I don't mind at all)

Reina blushed from Crimson's greeting. "I'm Reina Storm, and yes I do happen to need a place to stay... But I have no money."

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Oct 2009 Posts: 4247

Kyle shook Crimsons hand "its good to see you crimson " he smiles before looking back at Reina "hmm i wonder what we can do to solve this issue " as he racks his mind with possible solutions not wanting her to be homless in a new town

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 18 Aug 2007 Posts: 1606

Crimson smiled and pondered.
"Let's see... You are welcome to stay at my place for the moment. My house is more than big enough and you're welcome to stay."

Crimson smiled and waited for her answer.

Reina Storm · Rank: Senior Member Joined: 14 Sep 2012 Posts: 340

"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to be a bother to you," she said with a worried look on her face.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 18 Aug 2007 Posts: 1606

Crimson shook his head. "Not at all. Besides my house is way to big for just me." Crimson chuckled. " You are more than welcome to stay as long as you'd like." he said and smiled.

Reina Storm · Rank: Senior Member Joined: 14 Sep 2012 Posts: 340

"Ooh ooh! You mean it?" Reina jumped with joy.

The sorrow inside Reina had faded away to almost nothing. She had just arrived and was already feeling accepted.

"Wait, what about Kyle?"

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Oct 2009 Posts: 4247

"Besides Kyle is more than welcome to stop by." Crimson said and patted Kyle on the back. Just then he had a great idea. Turning toward Kyle he smiled. "I just had a great idea would you like to help me give Miss Storm a tour of the town?"

Reina Storm · Rank: Senior Member Joined: 14 Sep 2012 Posts: 340

"A tour of the town? That would be lovely! And accompanied by two handsome gentlemen." Reina giggled. She was already enjoying herself.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Oct 2009 Posts: 4247

That sounds like a amazing idea crimson kyle smiles "we should show her around the town"

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 18 Aug 2007 Posts: 1606

"Fantastic. Then let's drop those off and head off." Crimson said pointing to the luggage. Then he stuck out his arm for Miss Storm and smiled

Reina Storm · Rank: Senior Member Joined: 14 Sep 2012 Posts: 340

Reina took Crimson's outstretched arm. "So where to?"

Crimson led them down a few blocks till the reached a very tasteful wooded and brick house. The house irradiated calm and comfort.

"Welcome to my home." Crimson said and offered to take the luggage. "We can drop off your belongings here and then we can start our tour."

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Oct 2009 Posts: 4247

kyle puts down the luggage and looks around "you got a pretty nice place here crimson " he smile standing next to crimson and Reina

Reina Storm · Rank: Senior Member Joined: 14 Sep 2012 Posts: 340

"Wow! This is a really beautiful house," she looked at Crimson and smiled. She let go to allow him to put the luggage away.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 18 Aug 2007 Posts: 1606

"Thank you." Crimson said blushing a little. He grabbed the luggage and headed up the short stairs towards the door.

"Please come in while I set up Miss. Storm's room." He said as he opened the door.

Inside was quite peaceful. As you walked in there were stairs leading to the second floor and to the left was the living room. There was a great stone fire place that gave off an aura of comfort and tranquility. There was a few old but comfortable chairs facing the fire place. The back wall was covered with a two big bookshelves only separated by a window that revealed a wonderful view of Delight castle. There were family pictures hanging on the walls and beautiful rug on the floor.

Connected to the living room was the dinning room that had a beautiful hand crafted table and chair set. Along the back was the china cabinet that had old plates and dish's that were passed down to Crimson.

From the dinning room was the swinging door to the kitchen and from there to the back yard.

"Please make yourself at home while I get this taken care of." Crimson said and headed up stairs.
