Kya Monroe

I felt the coldness of a damp cloth on my forehead but my body was too tired to react.

A groan leaves my lips as I try to turn my body.

"Take it slow" a voice whispers

I blink my eyes open and came face to face with the most beautiful blue eyes and freckles lightly dusted on the most tanned skin. Am I in heaven?

"Fortunately no,you aren't in heaven"  the voice said

"Where am I?" I asked as I tried to sit up straight,the stranger with pretty eyes rushed to aid me

"In my house" the stranger said

"I'm Davina and you?" Davina introduced herself

"I'm Kya" I said as I looked around

"Why am I here" I groaned as the light hit my eyes

"Well I was riding around and I saw you in the middle of a burning field and you fainted and I brought you here" Davina explains

Burning field?

As if my amnesia wasn't embarrassing enough,my stomach growled

Davina smiled  "I made some soup,follow me"

The way she smiled,it was innocent and a little naive. Isn't she afraid that I might be a killer in disguise or something...

"I know you won't hurt me and you aren't a serial killer that much I can tell" Davina says

Why is she answering every question I have in mind? It's frustrating.

"I can read your thoughts Kya " Davina mused

Oh

"Eat up." She said as she placed a bowl of piping hot mushroom soup in front.

"If you don't mind,why were you in a burning field?" Davina asked

"I wish I knew" I mumbled

"Mm,you aren't from here are you?" She asked with a glint of amusement in her eyes

"I'm from a small village in Aerlion" I replied

"I see. Siblings?" She continued to ask

"No. Why all the questions?" I pressed

"Just getting to know you" Davina smiled

"And you wonder why I thought you were a serial killer orsomething like far more sinister" I taunted

Davina chuckles "You are quite interesting Kya"

I just stared at her before continuing to eat the nearly cold soup.

As I ate,I set rules for myself:

No friends,don't fall in love or try to be a hero: All just bring an early death

Davina softly chuckled. I looked at her with curious eyes.

"Nothing you should worry about,yet "

"Because the answers you have been searching for,you will receive soon" She declares.
