Chapter 2: Present

(A lot of my friends wanted to be in the book. Only a couple of them will be main characters, but there will be a couple one time characters)
Aalia's P.O.V
Since I lived in the forest it takes about an hour to get to town.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After siting in the carriage for what feels like a year, I finally start to see buildings.

I instantly perk up at this.

I put my face against the glass and stare outside. Japan had beautiful cities.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally we come to a stop. Kenta opens the door and sun rays instantly hit my face. I used my hand for shade and jumped out the carriage.

"I'll be back in an hour" I say as I start walking into town.

My dad says I shouldn't go alone since I'm only 15. But I feel I'm mature enough to go by myself.

I walk around wondering what Arata would like.

Clothes? Shoes? Hmmm this wasn't going to be easy.

I walk around and see a clothes store. I step inside. The room was gigantic. It was full of sooooooooooooooo many clothes. I walk up to one of the racks and examine the price tag. Sheesh!! This place is obviously for rich people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After 10 minutes I give up. Arata has better clothes than all of these. I sigh and leave the store.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I carefully examine the stores as I walk by. Out of nowhere someone grabs my arm.

"Eeeekkkk!!!!!" I scream and pull myself out of the persons grip.

I step back and take a look at them. It was a young man who looked about the age of 19. He was very white, he had brown hair and blue eyes and he was shorter than me. About 5"6 I guess.

He has 2 beer bottles in his hand.

"H-hey t-t-there" he is obviously drunk from the way he's talking.

"I'm sorry but I have to go" I try and walk away from him, but he starts following me. OH MY GOD!!! I thought. I quickened my pace.

Since he was drunk it would be hard for him to follow me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a while I look to see if he is still following me. Thank god he wasn't.

I look at the clock on a shops window.

"I've been here 30 minutes and I've still found nothing"

I look around and immediately a sign catches my eye. It said "black smith"

Maybe Arata would like a sword? Bingo! Looks like I found the perfect gift.

I walk into the shop.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" There was no answer. Maybe the black smith was in the back. I walk up to the counter and ring the bell.

I hear a bunch of stuff fall over. Then the black smith pops up.

"Hello there young lady, what can I help you with?" He says

I take a minute to look at him. He was very white, had ginger hair and freckles. He also had light brown eyes and looked to be around 17 or 18.

I snap back to my senses. "Umm. next week is my friend Arata's birthday and I wanted to know if you could make a special sword for him."

He looks at me and thinks "hmmm Arata? Where have I heard that name before. Is your friend by any chance the prince of France?"

"Yup that's him." I say popping the P.

His eyes widen. "Oh! Then of course I'll make a sword. Do you have any material in mind?"

"Umm I don't really know much about swords. I just want it to look beautiful but also its strong"

"Alright then. It should be ready by Monday morning you can pick it up then."

I smile really big. "Thank you!! Oh and by the way, what is your name?"

"Doug, Doug Junichi. And yours?"
"I'm Aalia Takahiro."

After that I said goodbye and headed home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Finally it's Monday!

I head back to the store to pick up the sword. I sit down waiting for him to bring me the sword.

He hands me the sword and I unwrap it.

"WOW!" I was speechless. It was so beautiful. It was silver with a brown handle. It had rubies and diamonds encrusted into it. Doug assured me that it was strong. It was made from the finest metal there is.

It was expensive, but I still got. I left with a big smile. Finally i found the perfect gift.
