Hair For An Heir

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 1 

A regular day it is as she rushed to the library just after her class to immediately start and do her homework. She got an hour and a half to finish what she can before rushing to do her job at a fast-food restaurant. As she quietly sat down to start digging through her books, someone put down some books in front of her. She raised her gaze and saw Devon looking down at her.

“May I take this seat?” He said while trying to settle his things at the seat in front of Valeria. “I’ll be quick, I just need to finish my notes from the previous subject.” He whispered with his husky voice. Devon is one of her classmates in some subjects, he is taking up some business course. Valeria doesn’t personally know Devon but most girls do as they swoon around him most of the time with his good looks.

“Sure, I would also be out of this place in a short while.” She answered him with a whisper as well. She then turned her gaze back to her work and focused to continue with her work as swiftly as she could. Time surely flies and she was just half-way to the last item she needs to find an answer when her watch beeped. Hinting that she needs to make a run to the fast-food joint for her job.

She stood up immediately, but due to a long time of having her head bent while doing her work, she felt dizzy the moment she stood up. Her vision turned black and she grabs on the edge the table for support. She yelled out when she missed to grab the corner of the table but no voice came out from her. An image of a girl suddenly flashed through her eyes, the beautiful girl in a white dress who is always in her dreams.

As her head hit the corner of the table, her vision started to blur. Just before she was taken by the darkness she saw a pair of hands that reached out to catch her from falling straight to the floor. She felt a warm embrace before her consciousness was lost. Devon managed to catch her, though a bit too late as she has already hit the corner of the table. Devon carefully carried Valeria to head out of the library. Everyone in the library was surprised by what happened. There are a lot of students in the library at that time, as most of them are cramming to finish homework before going back to their respective dorms or homes.

Devon felt his heart skip a beat with fear upon seeing Valeria lost her consciousness. He had been doing his best to be in Valeria’s class so he could watch her from afar. He fell for this girl though she is an ordinary-looking. Her face features are to say at the average rate, yet he was captivated by her wits and how she handles herself every day. He witnessed how she had broken down over her cup of coffee spilled on her while rushing to their class but remained focused on their lectures. He knows she had been juggling two jobs plus their studies and all he could help her in secret was be an anonymous person who chooses random students to give discounts on their school fees.

He carried her gently and ask someone to help him bring their things with them to the clinic. Before he made a step he saw a few drops of blood on the floor, to his surprise it became little black snakes. The snakes immediately swerved through the cracks on the floor. He asked the nerdy guy student who volunteered to help him take his handkerchief from his pocket so he could press it on Valeria’s forehead and somehow stop the bleeding. As soon the hanky was handed to Devon he reached to Valeria’s forehead and dabbed it to the wound with a gentle press and made brisk walks to reach the clinic immediately. The guy who volunteered scram to follow Devon’s steps.

Devon reached the clinic and asked the nurse to immediately treat Valeria. The blood from Valeria’s head has already dried as Devon removed the hanky covering it as he gently placed Valeria in one of the beds there. The nurse attends to Valeria’s wound and handed devon a cotton ball with a few drops of ammonia in it. The nurse instructed Devon to let the cotton ball pass just right under Valeria’s nose until she gains her consciousness. He obeyed the nurse and do as he was told to do.

His worry for Valeria has somehow subsided when the nurse attended to Valeria’s wound on her head. Though he couldn’t forget the tiny snakes that her blood has become off upon falling to the ground. He doesn’t know if he is supposed to believe what he saw or take it as an illusion made by the fear he felt when he saw Valeria lost her consciousness. His attraction to this girl has grown over the years he tried to get close to her. He might be popular with other girls but Valeria is the exception. Cold and warm all at the same time to everyone she gets acquainted with.

Ten minutes have passed and Valeria is still unconscious. The nurse told Devon that Valeria’s body must be too tired that it shuts down itself that sudden moment it had the chance to rest. “This lovely child must be exhausted to cause her mind to sleep the moment it gets the chance to do it. Still, consider her lucky she has someone to catch her that moment.” The nurse patted him on the shoulder and said to let Valeria sleep in for a while if she won’t be awake before the school closes he might need to carry her and bring her home, so he better start calling her family if he knows them.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t know a single one from her family though he has her address since he had been helping her through the scholarship program he funds anonymously, he has that information along with her contact number. It is easy for him to find information but he doesn’t wish to startle her with those. He has known how she has acted to weirdo’s of such and he has to back her up at one time she almost got into trouble. The best he did was took her school ID, took a picture of her emergency details at the back of it.

He patiently stayed by her side and waited until it was just a few more minutes before the school will close. He started to prepare her things properly and called his valet from his phone. Just moments later his valet arrived and picked up Valeria’s things and so is Devon’s. He leads the way while Devon carried Valeria out of the clinic. Upon reaching outside the school gates, a black luxury model of car is parked and a man in a suit opens the door so he could place Valeria comfortably in the car. He went around the car to get to the other side and sit comfortably beside Valeria.

He instructed his valet and his driver to take them to Valeria’s home. His driver is familiar as they usually follow Valeria after school to ensure her safety. Though they never understand what has been keeping their master from confessing his love for this girl they understood that this girl is not an ordinary girl. Their master is a descendant of a bloodline that does not belong to a mortal. They have been searching for the match that is to be their masters maiden. A maiden who will bore another descendant and this maiden will not be an ordinary one to fulfill the cycle of their bloodline.

       Valeria has been consumed by darkness, she was taken again yet into another dream too familiar to her. But this time it is somewhat different. She is the one wearing a white flowing fabric. Considered as a dress though it has only been wrapped around to hug her voluptuous form. Though, kind of awkward to her, she knows this dream is about facing a huge statue of Athena and offering a prayer at the foot of it. That’s when she noticed she is holding a basket of flowers on her right hand while the other is holding an old oil lamp.

She is walking barefooted inside a large temple and she heads straight at the center of the temple. From there she went into a trance-like state and it seems her body has its mind and knows exactly how to perform such rituals for the deity made of stone in front of her. As she scattered the flowers at the foot of the graven image, the silken fabric of the dress she wears slowly slips down her shoulder revealing to the idol a part of her perfect plump breast in white skin and pink areola. She didn’t feel any awkwardness as she is almost in a trance-like state as she lit the candles at the foot of the idol.  Not known to her that she wasn’t alone in the temple at that moment.

Behind a pillar of the temple, a man had been hiding in its shadows. Watching the maiden do her rituals and pay respect to her goddess. He had been watching the maiden ever since she started to vow herself to worship and serve the temple for the goddess Athena. He had always been mesmerized by her beauty. Despite him being a god who has ties with Athena, his urges are stronger compare to his control over it. He watched closely as the lovely maiden lighted up the candles at the foot of the idol after scattering the flowers. Just as he was watching her, he saw how the silken fabric has slipped down her shoulder.

He swallowed hard at the mere sight of her white skin, beads of perspiration had formed at his temples with the bareness he saw. The maiden he had been watching, is now starting to be in a more trance-like state ignoring that her dress has almost been stripped, and it reveals one of her breasts with her n*****s hardened as she continued to focus herself with the prayers she had been murmuring. He slowly crept his way to her back. As he neared, her scent gets stronger which drives his senses wild. Made his thoughts go crazy and aggressive into ravishing the maiden. He covered the maiden’s mouth upon reaching her back. He sniffed her neck and licked it like he’s about to devour a sumputous meal.

“You may have vowed to honor and serve my dear Athena, but Medusa remember this, I have always kept you dear in my heart and now it is time for you to be mine.” He breathed the words on her neck while his other hand roamed her waist.
