I'm done cleaning myself and Mrs. Fox was there waiting for me. She is so beautiful with her red eyes and hair. She has a white skin like a porcelain. Her smile is really genuine and sincere.

"Hi dear. Go now and change." she guided me to the dressing room. My eyes started to sparkle with joy and fascination. The dress is so amazing. A blue dress that sparkled with gems. Its so amazing.

"I'm glad you like it dear. " she smiled at me. Just by seeing my face, Mrs. Fox already know my feelings. I wear it with joy and check my self in the mirror. I went out to the dressing room.

"Oh My God! You look beautiful dear. You're like a princess. " I blushed with her comment. I myself too feel beautiful in this dress. Its like it was made for me. Suddenly, Dave entered the room with eyes opened with mouth-opened.

     Snow White was the one who knew my secret. Couldn't believe that someone will know it. I was once a nerd with a shabby look when I was younger. I only have a friend who is like me but she went missing for how many years. Her family went into tradegy and since then she went missing. Because of that, I lost a friend. Bullies were everywhere and they always do something bad to me. It made me change. In every place that I went, I wear my nerdy look but behind that look is a nerd who is ready to defend himself and to fight for the right of his kind.

     The day when Snow saw me beating my classmates, she didn't know that they did something wrong not only to me but to other people. I saw them threatening 2 girls and molesting them. I talked to them nicely but they tried to punch me so I defended myself and protected those girls who they forcefully drag at the locker room. It also completed my mission that time. It all confirms our hypothesis.

     I know she felt different about my presence but little did she know that I am guarding her from afar especially more men were trying to find me for revenge. She were always the one whom they asked and that worries me.

     I am following her every time because bad men are following her. But, last moment ago was fun. I didn't felt that way before. I only experienced that kind of fun with my childhood friend.

     The management of that store was giving malicious stares to Snow because her clothes were wet because of earlier. I paid double so we can get out of here and talked to manager and threaten him.

     I don't want people staring Snow like that so I lead her to my Mom's shop. I can say that we are rich but I'm not bragging about that because Mom always says " Money is not something to brag but be humble and share what we have". The 50% of our earnings are donated to charity and hospitals. We help children and elderly for their medical treatments and needs.

" Son, I like her." Mom appeared after I finished my bath. I am wearing a red sweater shirt that was knitted by my Mom. She is caressing my hair with love.

" Its the first time you brought a girl in here son. " Mom said teasingly.

"Mom, its not like that"

"Why hold hands then?" She said while preparing for some snacks.

"I just guided her here Mom. " she just grinned.

"Whatever Son. She reminds me of someone though." Mom left me in the room and headed out. The last statement bothered me because I also think the same. I still need to confirm it so, I'm thinking of going home this weekend. I missed my Dad and my home. Also, to ask information to confirm something. The first time I met her, there was a feeling of ease. Maybe she is our missing peace. And after completing some of my agenda,may be I can rest for a while.

     I went out to check Snow but when I entered, I am amazed. She is so beautiful in that dress. My mouth was apart because of what I saw. Mom clapped her hands and walked towards Snow.

     I couldn't even say a word. I'm speechless.

     Mrs. Fox invited us for some snacks. Dave was so silent that wondered me why. After how many minutes, I decided to go home.

"Uhm Can I call you Mrs. Fox instead? " Mrs. Fox looked at me with a smile.

" Of course dear! If you want, call me Mom if you like. " she said

" Uhmm. Mrs. Fox thank you for lending this dress. I will return it as soon as possible. "

" Its okay dear. Its yours. "

"But-"

" No buts. Its already late dear you should go home now. Hey son! Escort Snow to her home okay?! " Dave just nod.

     We are walking now to my home. Dave is still quite. Did I do something wrong? Is he mad? A moment ago we are having fun but now just silence. The different lights from the street and the beeping of the cars were the ones I can only hear. I can't take it anymore.

"Hey Fox! " I said and smiled at him but he didn't respond. I poke his shoulder but still nothing.

"Hey"

"Shhhh" he gestured me.

"What's wrong Fox? " I said. We are near my house just a few minutes.

     He didn't say anything again. He went ahead of me and protected me in front. And I noticed some big men surrounding us.

"So this is the nerd right, Jaime? " The big guy asked. It seems that he is their leader.

"Our members told us that you are messing with them is that right? " Dave is not speaking.

" Is he deaf? " I heard one man whispered to the other man.

"Maybe a mime perhaps" he answered.

"Are you sure that he's the one that beat you 3 up, Jaime? "

"Yes leader" he confirmed

"So lets start the party. "

     They started fighting Dave. All of them went for him and one by one Dave is beating them all too. Some of them brought a baseball bat but Dave avoided them all. Each punches and kicks of the enemy were avoided and returned by Dave. He is good at this. Every member of the gang is falling down but some continue to fight. One member is trying to hit Dave at the back but was cornered with a flying kick. He then spin in the air to the ground. Dave picked himself a baseball bat and fight with them.

"Come one! He is just one man. " Said their leader.

     One by one, they started to give up but one member eyed me with a smirk. He run towards me and grabbed me by my neck.

"Stop right there or your girl will die" he said.

    I'm trembling with fear about me being held captive and worried for Dave. My eyes started to tear up. I am still shocked about this encounter and don't know how to react. I couldn't utter a word. And I just spoke without my voice saying to him "Save me"

" What will you do now? " The leader said walking towards me and the one who held me. He began observing me with a smile of a demon. He then touched my cheeks with malice.

"Don't you dare touch her! " Dave shouted. His voice became deep and serious. His eyes are now full of anger. I just hope Dave will save me. I can't take this anymore. I'm trying to be brave but please God help us.

"Try me! " he said and slowly bend down and began to move closely to me. I just close my eyes and pray for God to end this and save us. Few seconds were spent but I didn't feel anything. The man who held me began to loss his grip to me and felt warm. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Dave in front of me.

"You're safe now" he smiled. My forehead creased to wonder. Why Dave's hair in fire? And everything went black.
