Serenade had been heading home. Slightly tired after playing that lullaby. She stumbled once or twice, using the rooftops to hold herself up... was she THAT tired? That song was an anti-Serenade, so it seemed.

She was close to her house when the fires started, and that strange man appeared. At first, she thought, he was a traveler but, once he explained her intentions, her eyes went wide. “You... you MONSTER!” She said taking a step back, hitting the wall of her house and she gave a slight gasp as she did.

Her mind began racing in a panicked frenzy, hastily trying to see another way out of this. She could always play the song she learned fro Guru-guru, and douse the fires, but then he could simply directly order killing. If she were to try and make a break for it, she MIGHT find someone capable of fending these people off... but most people wouldn't risk their lives... that was simply human nature.

The most important thing was the fires. She would wait until she was at the entrance to play the song of storms. That would alert the villagers to the face that something was going on, and there were enemies in their midst...

She shook her head... there was nothing much she could do in this situation, and pure fear had made her wide awake. “I'm going to get a change of clothes.” She said, walking into her house, and walked to her room, packing up a spare set of clothes. She looked, to where she had another Ocarina. She took out the one she used most, and hugged it tightly, then placed it on the bed, 'Salem.... I'm sorry.” She thought, willing him to take it, should he come h ere. She took the other one, and stashed it in her pocket, and headed outside.

'I'm ready... you demon.” She hissed, hating her own powerlessness. As she followed them outside the gates, she mentally shouted, “ SOME ONE HELP! IM BEING KIDNAPPED!” Though she knew no one could hear her, she had a feeling that someone did... or perhaps it was just a hope.

She reached into her pocket, pulled out her Ocarina, and closed her eyes, playing the song of storms as she began walking, and the village began to be blanketed by rain.

She turned, looking back. “Everyone... I'm sorry.” She whispered, and began following the demon again.
