*Wild smiled.
She was wearing a tightfitting top, and it clinged to her beautiful body and made men stare lustily after her. She ignored them completely.
The cut in her arm was bleeding, but she didn't have time for that now.*
"You must have been through a lot. Those guys didn't exactly look like priests!"
*She offered her hand to Anna.*
"My name is Wild, by the way."

"I remember, you yelled at me cause I got it wrong, I'm Anna" she took her hand and shook it softly.
"I've been in a lot of trouble in my life, these guys are just part of what living on the wrong side of life brings you" she looked around "which reminds me, we have to get out of here, if anyone finds out what you did, you'll have everyone from policemen to prostitutes coming after you."

"Nice to meet you, Anna."
*She shook her hand softly and smiled broadly. There was a glimpse of humor in her eyes.*
"Trouble is my first name. I've been in trouble since my parents and my baby brother were killed when I was eleven. I grew up in the worst orphanages in Paris.
I have seen worse things than you would believe was possible. And the owners of the orphanages often used my powers for their own greed. I have met all the policemen and judges in Paris.
Father Joseph was sent to the last orphanage by the police, in order to save my soul. But he failed. So frankly, I don't give a damn what happens to me next."

Anna stared at her "But the men in the orphanages never touched you did they?" Her voice was low, filled with memories of a brazen past "Y-you're still a virgin" she looked at Wild with a sad sigh and began walking away from the alley pulling Wild along with her.
"You had a hard life, I get it Wild" Anna nodded and pulled the jacket hard around her shoulders "a-and I'm sorry I freaked out at you earlier, you have to understand though, your power scares people."

*Wild smiled sadly, tears in her eyes.*
"Nobody ever touched me. I was always a good fighter. But they molested my friends. And I couldn't always be there to protect them. The youngest were only 8! And they killed her afterwards."
*She looked at Anna.*
"The elves developed magic powers to defend theirselves against evil creatures roaming the earth. Devilish creatures. We are the only ones who can fight them back.
You humans don't understand how much we elves are protecting you against. We use our powers to prevent evil. For defense. And to heal wounds.
The church has completely misunderstood us elves. And Father Joseph freaked completely out after you left. He hates me now."

Anna gave a soft laugh "First off, the church has not misunderstood elves, they just believe against the use of magic, and second off," they rounded a corner and Anna stopped Wild "Father Joseph does not have a malicious bone in his body. He took me in after I stormed in the church, high off of opium and began de-robing and screaming that I was Anna Regan Queen Supreme of the Desert of Poppys."
Anna sighed "Wild, you scared him, he is a man of the cloth, a man of righteousness and good, magic is against everything he has ever believed in."

*Wild smiled bitterly.*
"Yeah, I noticed. And everything he doesn't believe in has to be evil and belong to the devil, right?
Anna, I have spent most of my life fighting against devils. I have never met anything but evil my whole life.
And then suddenly he expects me to be good? How am I supposed to act good when I don't know the nature of goodness?"
*The smile returned to her face, and she giggled.*
"You really started de-robing inside a church?"

Anna blushed and ignored her last comment "Wild how would you like, if you helped someone out, allowed them to stay in your home, and they turn around and disrespect everything you believe in?"
"I would imagine that wouldn't be very nice. Now I understand niceness doesn't matter to you, but you must understand Respect."

*Wild sighed and smiled sadly.*
"I understand that he is disappointed in me. That is why I told him I would leave and never come back. Even though he reminds me of my father. I didn't mean to hurt him, and I apologized afterwards, but he is afraid of me now. As if I would ever harm him."
*She lowered her head . A teardrop was hanging from her dark eyelashes.*

Anna reached out softly, as Joseph had done so many times for her and wiped the tear from her face, not caring how the girl would react. "Wild, no matter what you do, he will always help you, the day I moved in to the church, I left to go get the rest of my things with a man I didn't know, then proceeded to have sex with him in my old house."
She placed a soft hand on Wilds shoulder "The father forgave me, I called god a piece of dog shit, he forgave me, I insulted his beliefs, screamed at him and tore up the church and he still forgave me." Shaking her head "He is disappointed, but he is always there to help, come on, let's go back to the church and talk to him."

*Normally, Wild would have killed anyone who dared to touch her, but now she was really depressed and needed to be surrounded by someone who understood her without judging her. Another tear trickled down her cheek.*
"He forgave you because you are human, and don't have magic powers. I can't help that I was born a Dark Elf. I never asked to be born. And still I have never met anything but hatred. You are the only one who has been nice to me."
And Father Joseph, before he turned against me....

"He forgave me because I am a person, and I wasn't exactly nice was I?" Anna said softly thinking about before "God doesn't discriminate, and neither do we. Yes it wasn't your fault being born the way you are, but you don't have to become the person people think you are, you can be your own person. You can be Wild, not Wild the Dark Elf."
She looked down at the ground, she was still shaken by the attack, but Wild needed her, even if she still had an urge to slap her.
It was her past that wanted to hurt the girl, not Anna "There will always be bad people, it's your job to ignore them."

*Wild looked at her and smiled.*
"Who am I to judge? I should straighten my own life before I start stepping on others."
*The cut wound in her arm was paining her. First now she had time to look at it. It was a long and deep cut, from her shoulder to her elbow. And it was bleeding. She had lost a lot of blood already, and now the blood loss was starting to effect her. Her face went pale, and she felt dizzy.*

Anna realized immediately what was happening and tore a piece of her dress off and grabbed Wilds arm and wrapped it up tight "I am so sorry" she took Wilds arm around her shoulder "do you think you can make it to the church?"

"Thank you."
*Wild smiled faintly, trying hard to pull herself together. Her face was white as a sheet.*
"I have a motorcycle, a Harley Davidson, just around the corner. If you try to get me to that, I'll drive us both back to the church...."
