My protector My prince

Check up on you

Ashley woke up with a slight headache, she sat up on the sofa, the sofa was so uncomfortable that she had to crack her bones. She stood up just to realise she was not in her apartment, she began to think, what really happened that ended her in this apartment but, her memories were all blurred.

"You're awake". Ashley heard a man say to her, she recognised that voice but can't recall how.

She looked around the room just to find a well built guy with an animal skin duvet, his hair were all nearly oiled, blue eyes, his eyes were like that of an Ocean, he had broad shoulders which made the suit he wore fit him. He was tall and had earrings on his left ear.

Seeing this perfect being Ashley begins to swallow hard, how can somebody look so perfect and with such great and dangerous aura.

She had this feeling she knew him and tried to recall how she knew him but her memories were all blurred then, she had no choice but to ask.

"Who are you?" Ashley asked as she stood up, she tried all possible ways to maintain her distance from him because she felt something bad will happen if she tried to go close to him and confront him, why he kidnapped her on her way to a date with a guy named Lucius.

"I'm Lucius," he said, trying to make his voice as calm as possible so that he would not scare the young lady away.

He had brought her to his resistance where he bought a few hours ago. He needed to see her past in other to know who she was and how he could be seen by her when he did not permit.

Inside his resistance, he took her to the sofa which was arranged for him and other materials he won't be using, he just had to stay a few hours before going back to hell.

He sat down close to the sofa placing his hand on her head trying to see her past.

After mins of dark waves he finally got in. He could see her with her parents then after a few mins her parents vanished into thin air without a trace not knowing how and where they went. He saw her in an old catholic church, then her work as a detective, then all her prayers, all her prayers where all murmuring he tried so hard to listen and hear what she was saying but if he tried deeper all he could hear were soft sirens if he tried to ignore the soft sirens it would grow louder and louder causing him to bleed from his ears and nose.

Immediately he left her mind, drifting away from her. He took his hand to his nose and found out he was bleeding.

Briskly he went to the bathroom to wash his face. Still he could not understand why she was so different from others, who is she?.

He left the bathroom to the bedroom to pick up a duvet made with animal skin to cover her from the cold. He would have taken her to the bed but a law is a law.

He can't put her on this bed except he had vow to start a relationship with her.

This chills he was feeling was not from nature but from her, it was as if she was protected by something or someone.

He walked down to where the sofa was to find her awake.

"You're awake" he said looking at the duvet in his hand of course he won't be needing it again since she had already woken up.

He watched her stand up trying to keep her distance away from him.

"Who are you?"she questioned.

If she could see him he thought his powers won't work on her but, he was wrong it did work on her as long she doesn't remember who he was.

"I'm Lucius" He said walking close to her, the more he got close the quicker she drifted away from him trying to avoid him. Ashley then stops trying to move away from him.

"Lucius?" She asked, how is it possible Lucius was the name of the guy she had date with few hours ago, how come she was in a room alone with him, did she drink?.

When Lucius heard her call his name he became shocked. How was it possible? In theory she is not supposed to remember anything about him, then why did she sound as if he knew him.

"My date" she mentioned "You are Lucius my date, how is this possible, why…"

Before she could say any other word Lucius waved his hand and Ashley fell to the ground unconscious.

He didn't want her to keep trying to recall him, if she did she may end up remembering everything and this had never happened before.

He searched her bag then found out where she was living. He paid and ordered someone to take her back.

Ashley woke up again feeling a little dizzy, this time she was on her bed. She stood up and checked the time. It was just past 6 in the morning and she had to go to work. She stood up, took her bath and got ready for work. She heard a knock on the door expecting it to be the new neighbour. Bella stood up happily to check who it was, just to find out it was Jackson. She groaned then let him in. Bella never really liked Jackson, he was friendly with great personality and appearance but she always felt there was something missing.

"Jackson" Bella called out and then let him in.

Ashley heard Bella call out to Jackson, she lifted her face up to see him coming in.

"Hey" Jackson called out to Ashley, Bella who was still in the kitchen left immediately she didn't really want to be around Jackson for some reasons.

"Hey" Ashley said back, not looking at him while arranging her files.

"I brought you chocolate cookies, your favourite," Jackson said, handing the cookie to Ashley.

"Awwn thank you, you know you didn't have to" Ashley said looking at the cookie she really loves this stuff and wanted to eat all of it immediately but she had to control herself so she could reach the office early enough.

"Ashley, i came to check up on you"
