Sophie was sitting under the edge of a building trying to stay out of the down poor that happend in only a matter of seconds. It was all enough to leave poor sophie curled up in a ball with her teeeth chattering. Poor sophie was completely mysirable and soaked to the bone. A pool of water was forming underneath her crouching body. She was truely a pathetic sight to see, her dress was ruend, as well as her hair, darker and hung around in dripping wet strings...everything was. She was soaking wet and freezing and she had lost her way to her appartment...even the school. Sophie felt completely and utterly lost and at the moment wished that her daddy was there, or someone to come and save her. Sophie wasnt that strong of a story book chairter to save her self. Though she desprately admierd them.

Atalai was walking along the street, humming to herself. She had a large black umbrella to keep her dry and a thick coat to keep her warm. She rounded the corner and saw Sophie huddling there shivering.
She walked up to Sophie, curious.
"Child? Are you alright? What on earth are you doing outside on a day like this with no umbrella?"
She moved closer to her so that the umbrella shielded Sophie from the rain as well.
"You shouldn't be out here at this time of night anyway. Are you lost?"

Sophie looked up at the woman with strikeingly large bright blue eyes. "A-alittel..." she shivered out. "And--and ye-yea..im losssstt...." she shook trying to stand up strate but she was too cold. "A-an-an-andd i-i-immm no-no-not a chi-chi-child...im fififffffiiiifffteen..." she said standing up more but still in a crouch. Her voice was small and barely heard aginst the tings and tangs of the heavy rain.

Atalai stooped down and helped her stand properly.
"Then tell me your name so I don't have to call you child. Here, come with me. I'll find you somewhere to stay for tonight. I'll even pay." she said, tucking the girl's sodden hair behind her ears. She looked around for any handy hotels or inns.
Atalai wouldn't usually put herself out for someone but this girl looked so pathetic and miserable that she would feel monstrous if she simply left her there.

Sophie clung close to the girl, all she wanted was someplace warm and dry. "So-so-sophhiehie..." she studdered out she looked like a myrisable drouning mouse..."But-but...im kinda ne-new he-hhere....so i dont know we-were one wo-wwould be" she said lightly clutching lightly to the girl for her warmth. Sophie wanted to cry, she despratly just wanted her big fat santaclause like daddy to come and take her back home.

"It's alright, we'll find one," Atalai said soothingly, stroking Sophie's hair in a motherly way. "I'm Atalai by the way. Don not worry, you're going to be just fine in a few minutes." Atalai pulled out her phone, pressing the speedial. She put it to her ear. "Arian? Arian, yes. I need you to come pick me up. Bring something warm to drink and some blankets with you, there's a girl with me and she's soaked to the skin. We're on-" Atalai craned her neck to see the street sign, "-the corner of Aquaus and Wassche. Be as quick as you can. Thank you." She hung up. "There, see?"

Sophie looked up at her with her large eyes and gave a blink. "Thankyou..." she said with a voice even quieter than a wisper. She looked off twords the road, her cheeks flameing red with shame. Sophie was completely ashamed of her self, for getting lost, for wreaking her clothes for haveing a complete stranger help her. 'im not worthy to be fifteen...i should be the age that i look....' she thought to her self in spite.

Atalai shrugged. "I couldn't just leave you here. You could have gotten attacked or even just awfully sick. That would be awful. You're much too innocent for that."
Part of having decay power was that Atalai could feel corruption and decay within someone, any kind. Sophie was nearly free of that taint, more than most people were.

Sophie let out a light hum, "yea..i guess that would have been awful.." she mumbled quietly as she thought on the subject of her being attacked. She would have been attacked by now, and dead in dumpster or an allie by now. "I think ill already have a cold by now though...i hope it dosnt evolve in to nemonia that would be bad..i would have to get hospitalized...and i would have a chance of dieing..." she said as she kept rambeling on and on with her wide eyes getting bigger.

Atalai laughed. "Don't worry about pneumonia, Sophie. In a few minutes you'll be wrapped in warm blankets and headed for a warm bath and fresh clothes. Any pneumonia that tries to come for you won't stand a chance."

Sophie looked up at her and gave a soft smile. "Thankyou.." she mumbled agin. "Thankyou for being so kind, i kinda feel like im in a story right now...hey are you a fictional chairter?" she asked her absolutely confused if she was reading abook becuse this was seeming too much like fairy tale. "Are you a fairy god mother perhaps? or a princess from a far off kingdome and a heart of gold?" Sophie was completely serious on this too.

Atalai laughed and shook her head. "No, I'm not a fae or a princess. Well, I could have a heart of gold, if by that you mean it's cold and hard. But no," she said, "I'm just a Duchess."

Sophie gave a blink, she was still completely confused if she was in a book or not. "ok." she said quietly now just wateing for the car to come. Sophie just went with it, weather it was a book or not she had to finish what she started.

The car pulled up next to them. It was a large, glossy black limousine with tinted windows and alloy wheels. Atalai opened the door and folded up her umbrella, climbing in. She threw a few blankets over teh seat. "Get in, Sophie, before you get ever more soaked!"

Sophie rushed in to the limo in a qiuck dash. The inside was nice and warm as she curled her self in the blankets. Her teeth still chattered lightly and she shiverd but now she was nice and warm "Thankyou" she mumbled out agin as she curled up in to a small ball on the seat.

Atalai dumped more blankets on her as well as a towel over her hair. She pulled out a flask, opening it and taking a sniff. "It's cocoa. Would you like some?" she offered.

Sophie gave a nod as she took the coco. She sniffed and said thankyou once more in a qiet shy voice. "Daddy is going to be mad if he finds out i ruined another dress with in the same week.." she mumbled lightly barely enough for a normal person to hear 'in the same week'

"Well, I'm certainly not going to tell him." Atalai said matter-of-factly. "Besides, it's just water. I'll have the maids fix it up in no time, and if not I'll replace it. Until then you can wear some of my things. They'll be a bit big for you, but I'm sure it's better than wandering around naked." She gave her some napkins as well.

Sophie gave a shrug. "I wouldnt mind much...i would just not leave the bed..." the rest of her sentance was completely inaudibe but it went somthing like 'room im used to that becuse i dont have any pajamas' but her face was already red and she was so embarrased that she never bought pajamas or any thing.

"You don't have any pajamas? But... Why not?" Atalai looked shocked. She herself had a whole wardrobe of nightwear, from negligees to snuggly pajama sets to fluffy dressing gowns. "Didn't you ever buy any?"

Sophie shook her head. "There was this wonderful new book out that i wanted to read and the library didnt have it so i wanted to buy it so i was saveing up the mony that i didnt buy things that i didnt think i needed..." she said her cheeks flushing.

"...I feel like I should just take you shopping. I mean, really. You are sincerely lacking in clothes if you don't own at least one set of good pajamas. For that matter, how many shoes do you own?" Atalai shook her head, unable to believe this whole thing.

Sophie scrached her head. "um, a pair of doll looking ones" trying to say out how many paires of shooes she had gotten from her father "..well thier all ones that look like thier made for a doll..." Her face flushed deeper. "i just wear what ever my daddy makes..." she said embarrased.

"...Your father makes you dress like a little porcelain doll?" Atalai had gone from surprised to creeped out. "That's... Oh dear. He hasn't touched you, has he?"

Sophies face flushed in outrage. "No! no, he has never done things such as that! he is my daddy!" she protested in a small childlike voice. "he said..it fits the way i look is all..." she said her voice getting smaller and smaller.

"Even so... That's very.... Non-kosher, Sophie. I'm sure with a little make-up and some clothes that aren't made for a sugar queen nine year old you could look about thirteen. You look very adorable but he really shouldn't encourage you to stay childlike."

Sophie let out a sigh "I..i know...and only thirteen? not my real age....oh well...i suppose it cant be helped" she said in a light voice as she looked out at the drops that wept down the window in tears. "Its eather these or my old school uniform orrrr a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt." she said with a nod.

"Well, in that case I'm going to take you shopping for clothes, and no complaints." she said firmly. "I've always wanted to dress people up but I never had a little sister I could do it to. If we can't get you looking fifteen we will at least get you somewhere close."

Sophie just stared at her for a moment and then looked back out the window thinking to her self quietly.

Atalai sat back and sipped her cocoa.
A few minutes later they pulled up outside a beautiful hotel with a large marble sign reading 'Hotel DeChalion' in gold. There was an awning stretching out from the over the double doors.
"Here we are, Sophie."
