As Tyler examined the note on the stone, the cleaners went into the room to do their jobs and Sophia went to clean herself up."Your Wife will pay" was boldly written on the paper, with what seemed like blood. He knew it was a threat and his house was no longer safe for Sophia. He ordered the maids to pack her bags and made plans to move to another safe house. Packed up and ready to go, Sophia didn't want to leave but she knew something was wrong."What's going on my love?" She questioned.Tyler looked at her with guilt, not wanting to show her the side of him that he had kept hidden from her. "It's nothing, just political danger". He replied blankly. Sophia understood that Tyler was not ready to open up to her. The drive to the safe house was long and silent, they soon arrived and began settling in to the new house. The environment was strange, it was nothing like Sophia's father's estate or Tyler's vicinity, this was different. It was quiet as though the place lacked life, lonel

Sophia woke up in a room which looked like it was decorated by a five year old. She felt a small hand on her leg startling her."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you". The little girl spoke. Sophia looked at her like she had seen a ghost. The little girl was extremely beautiful, her lush white hair complimented her emerald green eyes. She looked really young. "She couldn't be above five years old" Sophia spoke inwardly. "I'm not a child. I'm way above five years old ", the little girl answered correcting Sophia's thoughts, sending chills down her spine."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that out loud"."But you didn't". The girl retorted. "Here, drink this. It'll help with the pain you're feeling ".Sophia took the cup from the girl's hand not trusting the content."I didn't poison you, I saved you. You wondered into the wrong side of the forest. My name is Maya ". The little girl spoke with excitement."Maya, it's a nice name. I'm So—" a loud screeching sound filled the room causin

She pulled away from Tyler, looking at him with tears in her eyes. "It was you," she quavered. "I saved you that night, you were the one in the fire, I got burnt from saving you ". She stepped back from Tyler, trying to get a hold of herself. "Sophia, calm down". He coerced her. "Don't touch me!" She yelled. "You caused that fire, you didn't need saving. You're the Dragon Marshal, you could've stopped it". She pulsated. Tyler reached for her hand, trying to explain what she saw. He knew she was special and one day she was going to see everything. "Please, listen to me". Tyler pleaded. "My face got ruined because of you". She snapped back. "Well I never asked you to save me!" Tyler bit his tongue regretting what he had just spewed. Sophia looked at him with mixed emotions of pain and anger, most of all, sadness. "You're right, good night." She took to her heels, wanting to be as far away from him as possible but she couldn't, it wasn't safe. Sophia was extremely lucky to have

The shocking turn of attitude towards Sophia left her in shock. She wasn't human neither was she with the man she began to love. She had only read about fairies, surely as a child she wished to be one but seeing as her wish had taken the most important person from her life, she couldn't be more devastated.As the days went by, Sophia and Tyler lived like mere housemates, coexisting and barely crossing each other's paths. Tyler hadn't told her to leave his house but where would she go? Sophia had paused her learning with Maya, after the incident with Tyler, she lost interest in everything. Nothing seemed fun anymore. Sophia thought it'd be better to move in with Maya and look for a job. With Tyler ignoring her and and irritated me her presence she knew her time was coming to an end. She reached out to Maya hoping her friend could help her for a while, at least until she can afford a place for herself. Maya agreed and asked that she came over after letting Tyler know. Sophia got tired
