My protector My prince

Meeting with dad

Ashley woke up and saw herself in an hospital dress with Jackson by the side of the bed staring at her. She did not understand why she was here.

She just had a slight headache and before she knew it she was in a hospital.

Ever since she had encounter with Lucius she never felt herself she feel like her life was slowed down. Now she was in the hospital they would give her a day off and she never wanted this to happen.

"Are you okay?" Jackson asked her looking at her with pity.

Ashley never understood why he had that expression but she was fine.

She tried saying something but couldn't bring herself to say anything, she was too weak that she just had to nod her head telling him he was okay.

Lucius went back to the hell mansion only to be welcome by his brother. He never really liked his brother, his brother always wanted to complete with him in every thing he did but Lucius always win.

His brother had been gone for over a centuries bit, didn't really know why he came back.

"Welcome brother".

"What are you doing here Michael" when Lucius asked this question Michael frown.

"Am i not allowed to visit my little brother again, it's been so many Centuries and i can tell you never looked or cared for me". Michael was right Lucius never cared for anyone only of himself, he had been selfish.

"So how is Aida" Michael asked "is she still trying to get under you as i heard or have you finally accepted her feelings".

Lucius did not answer him he just pour himself a bottle of lucour. He knew his brother had only come to stare up trouble.

"If you want her you can have her, I'll arrange every thing for you with her father in place of me you can get married to her and am sure Aida would be very pleased"' Lucius finally spoke up.

He said this trying to keep Michael away from his part since he saw what happened to him with Ashley.

Michael laughed so loud that the guards which where guiding the doors joined him.

"I'll be honoured" Michael finally spoke up "But, that's not why am here, and i helped you complete your unfinished tasked with James Jones".

Immediately Michael said his name he widened his eyes.

He could not believe he left a task undone, and let aloneet his brother complete it for him.

If not because of Ashley he won't have been in this mess.

Michael would begin to tell everyone he had finish a task for Lucius then begin to compare himself again.

He thought of Ashley again, she was such a mysterious being. He needed to know more about her from the Oracle himself.

"I didn't needt your help Michael" Lucius said leaving the room.

But Michael yell from across the room.

"You have become soft, fix yourself".

Lucius walked up to the Oracle for answers but, the Oracle always keep his words simple.

"Young being, it is your destiny to come across your weakness, don't run from it but grab and hold on to it".

Lucius then questioned.

"What if i walk away trying to avoid it would…" The Oracle could not wait for his full sentence.

"Embrace you weakness young being never let go". The Oracle said leaving the room with only him alone.

Ashley was discharged the following day and also given a day off. Through out her stay in the hospital Jackson has been with her.

Sometimes she always wondered if he doesn't have work in the station.

While in the hospital Jackson had been so overprotective unlike him. Jackson she knew also respected her space but recently, he never did respected her space.

There was one time in the hospital she wanted to take a walk, though she still had her headache but she needed to straight her legs.

Jackson whom she taught had gone came back quickly and told her to stay inside that she has not fully recovered she was about to Oppose his decisions but, immediately Jackson touch her arm she would obey just like a little puppy.

While Bella never missed visiting her, Ashley wanted to come back quickly but Jackson didn't allow her to discharge even if the doctor told her that nothing was wrong with her and all she needed was a lot of rest.

But Jackson said until she recover before she can be discharged and she obeyed.

Ashley went back home accompanied by Jackson and Bella, then she could finally bid Jackson goodbye before entering the house.

She breathed the sound of relieve, she badly wanted to be away Jackson. She didn't really understand his strange aura and sudden behaviour.

It's was like he was different. The Jackson she knew before wasn't the Jackson she was with at the hospital. Things change but not too quickly.

Lucius walked up to his father's room and knocked.

He could hear his father's voice inviting him in.

He open the door to see his father watering his plants, his father looked at him not saying anything.

"I need your permission to go into the human world to learn their way".

His father looked into his eyes and shouted " i would not allow it'.

Lucius was not shock of his father's words he knew he would not approve of him so he planned to tell him about The human girl and what the oracle said to him.

When he narrated everything. His father eyes widen, though he never saw any of this coming.

He could not believe his favourite son weakness could be a human.

All of them had weaknesses, and as human was his weakness that why he was never defected by anyone because non of them knew his weekness.

"Hmm mm" His father tried to process everything. If his weakness was A human girl why would the oracle tell him to embrace his weakness.

This very strange of the oracle to say.

But since it was the words of the oracle he had to let Lucius go.

On his way out Lucius saw Michael at the door he seems startled.

Lucius believed he overhead the conversation between he and his dad and if he did heard them, Michael would use Ashley to get me.

"Hey Lucius, what are you up to". Lucius didn't have time to answer his questions he had more important things to do.

"Are you going for hunting?, I'll love to tag alone". Lucius looked at Michael, what are his plans. He wondered. If Michael had heard their conversation he would had started making fuzz about it.

"I'm just going to earth" Lucius answered trying not to make an eye contact with him, so he would not know there is more to it.
