Baroness Adelswärd to the rescue

[misskarin_ebz]

Karin is on her way home from her performance when she hears it.

"Where are we going?"

A woman speaking in Swedish, with a Finnish accent, here in London? And who is she talking to? Karin looks around and sees the owner of the voice, with a devil. No! She won’t let that happen.

"Excuse me!" She calls out in Swedish, "where are you going with that devil?"

The young woman looks startled. "I don’t know, what do you mean with devil?"

Karin sighs heavily. The devil looks angrily at her, but he doesn’t understand what either of them is saying.

"That man is a devil, he will take your soul if you go with him. Tell him no thanks and come with me!" No time to be polite. This girl seems to be as stupid as she looks, but Karin wouldn’t let her lose her soul because of that.

"Why, I don’t understand."

"Just do as I tell you!" Karin’s voice is demanding and the young girl does as she is told.

The devil just smiles and says. "I can take her soul another time."

Karin stares at him... if looks could kill. "No you won't!"

The girl is finally by her side, looking scared and confused. "Who are you? Why are you..."

"No time for small talk, we need to get out of here. I am Baroness Adelswärd and that's all you need to know right now!" Karin grabs the girl by her arm and starts dragging her along towards Karin's home.

"Your ladyship, I am Siirka Päiive."

"I don't care who you are right now. Now walk faster!"
