Monica's POV
~age 5~
.

.

I yawned and sat up from my bed, daddy always goes out really early for work. I got out of bed and got dressed. It's too bad daddy has to leave his 5 year old child all alone at home with only the maids.

I sighed. I brushed my teeth and washed my face, then I spread my bed- so the maids will not have to do it.

I walked out of my bedroom and walked down the long hallway. I met one of the maids along the way and she took me to the kitchen. I thanked her, and entered the kitchen- to see that breakfast was already made for me.

I sat at the breakfast table and started to eat my breakfast....

After I had finished my breakfast, I went to go and play in the front yard- which was fairly huge. I ran around for a little while to catch some butterflies, until I noticed that all the maids were standing in front the window- staring and smiling at me.

"Hello!!" I waved to them.

"hello lady Monica!!" They all said in unison.

To be honest, I don't know why my father hired 60 maids- it's not like the house is even dirty 24/7....

And the fact that all of the maids are human, makes me wonder 'why do they care and nurture a Faunus like me- if humans and Faunus don't get along that well....'

???? POV

Why?

Why?

Why?? My parents said that they were only going to go out and get some things from the shops- so why aren't they back yet? It's been a day and they're still not back....did they abandon me?

....Everything is so cold....and dark....

I closed my eyes and waited for death to come and take me away. I waited for my body to freeze and lose its' warmth in the snow- what's there left to lose anyway, it's not like I had anything or anyone in the first place....

I started to silently cry.

I buried my face in my hands and continued to sob, but that was until I began to hear crunching noises coming in my direction. My ears twitched and I backed away into some bushes.

The crunching sounds of the snow were coming from a pale-faced male, who looked to be a fox- because of his fox ears....but I didn't really see his tail. Maybe he hidden it under his clothes....??

The man had Crimson-red eyes, and his figure was tall and slender-like. he wore a long black coat, with matching boots and trousers. He had on a golden top hat and a golden tie, his hair was black and it went past his shoulders- his hair was also tied back into a pony tail. He wore a red rose on the left side of his coat, and he had on black gloves- which also had sharp nails at the finger tips.

I stayed as silent as I could, while the male silently scanned the area....until his Crimson-red orbs landed on me. I shivered as the male walked closer to me.

"Hello child, What is a young boy like you doing in a cold place like this?" The male questioned, tilting his head.

I sniffled, and held back tears of pain as I spoke. "I'm waiting for my mummy and daddy to come back...."

"And how long have they been gone for??" The male asked another question.

"They've been gone for....a day...." I replied while looking away.

"A day...." The male repeated to himself, while pondering over what I had just said to him.

I looked up at the male and saw that his eyes began to glow more Crimson-red, making his eyes stand out in the area around us.

"They abandoned you...." The male mumbled.

My heart broke, when he said that. Why would they abandon me?- I didn't want to believe it before, I just assumed that they abandoned me. But they really did abandon me....

My heart sunk and my ears drooped. I hung my head in sadness and silently started to cry again.

I then felt a hand wipe away my tears. "Don't worry....you can stay with me if you like, I will not abandon you." The male smiled, showing off his row of sharp teeth.

The male then hoisted me up and onto his shoulder, while carrying me into an air craft with lots of busy people....

Can I trust this man....??
