"Granny I'm home-"

You froze, staring at the strange men inside your and your granny's home.

"...who...are...you?"

The men looked up as they saw you, and stared.

They hadn't expected you to be so...pretty.

*She looks like little red riding hood...except not so little...*

You glanced at your granny, who had her lips pressed into a thin line, "They were just leaving."

"Oh.."

"No ma'am. It's an order from the-"

Your granny flared, "Never mind what he said! Do you think I'm going to let you just whisk away the child I raised for 18 years-"

One of the men shook his head, "Look. He told us to bring her by any means possible. Even by force-"

Your granny stood in front of you protectively, "No."

You blinked, looking around, feeling faint, *No...not now. Not now please.*

Stumbling, you reached out blindly for the wall.

Eyes widening, "__________-ah!"

You shook your head to get rid of the dizzyness, "I don't feel so good..."

Her eyes watered, *The more I keep you from them...the weaker you'll get...*

"Fine."

The men looked in surprised, "What?"

"Go. Take her. Before I change my mind and show you what the guardian is capable of."

The men scrambled to take your belongings and carry you.

She snapped at them, "Handle her with care! She's a lady! Not to mention a very ill one!"

*W-what? Granny...no...don't let them take me away...*

Your vision grew hazy as your eyes shifted closed, losing consciousness.

Your granny brushed your hair from your face, bittersweet tears sliding down her cheeks, *Don't look for me child. Be strong. Use your gift wisely. Save us all.*

She wiped the tears from her face and firmly said, "She's a very weak girl, physically. Don't say I didn't warn you, she will be troublesome, has a free will and spirit all on her own. Take...good care of her. She's an extremely picky eater, you don't need to know why. Treat her carefully."

The men curtly nodded and gently placed you in the carriage, making sure you were comfortable.

As she watched the men and the carriage leave, your granny sighed and dusted her hands, *My work here is done..*
