Cirillo was very loyal to his master and followed his every order even when he didn't understand why. His master was the only reason he was still alive and he never questioned any tasks his master gave him. Cirillo had been working for Master Damien for almost 30 years.

Normally his orders where simple: he cooked for his master everyday, he chopped firewood, and he ran errands. Master Damien couldn't go into human villages because of how he looked, so if he needed something that couldn't be gotten in the forest he sent Cirillo to get it.

Today was a bit different though. Cirillo walked through the forest wondering if he would really find what he was looking for. "Did humans even go this far into the forest?" he thought to himself. It was a very pleasant day outside: warm and sunny with a cool breeze. He loved the feeling of the sun on his skin, but couldn't enjoy the sunlight right now as he was too worried about not being able to complete his orders. He couldn't stand the thought of disappointing Damien. He waited for what seemed like hours before finally he saw her.

The girl was so beautiful, He almost forgot what he was doing. She looked so graceful with her gorgeous dark, curly hair and long white dress. She was small and looked a bit delicate, but something told him she was a lot stronger than she looked. She gave off some sort of aura. She had to be the girl his master wanted and now he understood why.

Cirillo had never found humans to be very attractive before. Most of them looked rather plain and seemed quite annoying, but this girl was different. She was nowhere near plain. Her lightly tanned skin looked so soft and smooth and her eyes were the color of emeralds, but shone even brighter.

He felt bad. He didn't want to bring this girl to his master. She looked so kind and gentle. What was Damien planning to do with her? Obviously Cirillo could imagine the kinds of things Damien could do to her, but the thought of any harm coming to the girl made him upset.

This was the first time Cirillo ever even thought about betraying his master's orders and he was very tempted to just go home and tell Damien he couldn't find her. Sadly, he knew his master would be able to tell if he lied, and didn't want to upset him. Putting his feelings aside he slowly got closer to the girl while chanting a spell.

Then suddenly, before he was done with his spell, he heard someone talking. "I think we found all the herbs. We can go home now, Bella." someone said. he quickly stopped chanting and moved back a little making sure he was well hidden. He turned to see who was talking. It was another girl, who looked to be a bit older than the first one.

"Okay" the first girl, who was apparently named "Bella", responded turning to leave with the other one.

The second girl was pretty but nowhere near as beautiful as the first. She had shoulder-length blond hair and very pale skin. Her eyes were gray, or maybe blue? He couldn't tell.

Unfortunately there being another girl there made things a bit more complicated. Master Damien had told him to bring back one girl, but now there were two. Now he had to figure out how to get Bella away from the other one. He really didn't want to hurt either of them, so he followed them while trying to figure out what to do.

Technically he could just use the sleeping spell on them both but, He couldn't leave the blond one passed out in the forest, she could get hurt. Humans were so delicate. He thought about waiting until the girls got close to their village, but that would be too risky

Cirillo wasn't afraid of anyone trying to stop him, but he'd didn't want to be seen taking the girl. If anyone saw him they'd tell everyone in their village what he looked like and then he wouldn't be able to run errands in that village again for a while or in any of the surrounding villages.

Luckily for him the two girls weren't talking to each other much and the blond one was ahead of the other one. That made separating them much easier. How long would it take for the blonde one to notice if her friend was gone?
