GUYS, I have corrected the spelling mistakes ( July 8)

Flashback

Arya had gone to get some supplies for gym class that were kept in the cellar when suddenly she heard Chris Samerson's voice calling her from the door. He approached her with a leering expression and abused her. She screamed for her help, but she knew no one would be able to hear her, so as a desperate expedient she dug her nails into him and ran. With her breath caught she locked herself in a bathroom, she took off her blouse and while she cried she washed herself as if so she could get that boy's dirty hands off.She didn't know how she was going to tell her parents because she was too embarrassed to relate something like this even more  when she didn't get along with her father.

It was three months ago when she finally got up the courage to tell them, she had rehearsed the words over and over again to make them sound as unshocking as possible, but the shock turned out just as she imagined. His mother wide-eyed and his father, unsurprisingly, devoid of all emotion that was to be expected but not the fact that he blamed his daughter for being alone. This made no impression on Caleb or his mother, since it was normal for Mr. Cleirstein to blame Arya every time something happened to her. For him coincidences did not exist, since there was always a causal relationship in human actions.

You could tell from the Cleirstein brothers' eyes that they wanted to talk back, but they were afraid their father would hit them again.

Mr. Cleirstein informed his family that he would file a complaint for an investigation to be launched, but Arya's mother suggested that it would be best to take her out of school and enroll her in a new one to which her husband agreed, but anyway he insisted that he would notify the police.

The months following what happened were not easy at all, Arya had to go constantly to testify before the police and psychological therapies to treat her trauma.

 She stayed  away from her friends and her ex-boyfriend with whom despite having broken up they had a good relationship. Since they stopped seeing each other, Arya had gone out with a couple of boys on the recommendation of her therapist so that she could learn to lose her fear about men and, although more than one of them had declared herself and she had feelings for them, she had resigned to love afterward.Among other reasons, because she was still traumatized by the fact that  her ex left her after one last attempt to take pills to increase her sexual desire but still he felt that he was not satisfied enough.

End of flashback.

It was a cold fall morning and Arya was walking towards Reinknight 's  looking tired, having not slept all night reviewing for today's test. During the day she had to take care of her little brother  Caleb because her mother who had separated from her father because he knocked down her confidence now lived with her new partner  and they both worked late. Her mother's new partner Matt worked as an assistant in a hardware store and she as an assistant in a supermarket. They didn't earn enough to support the family so they worked overtime, but today Matt had been given the day off.

Suddenly, a guy snatched her backpack and Arya went after him zigzagging between the passers-by until she reached a level crossing. Sweat ran down her forehead and little by little she felt like the air was running out of her lungs. When she was about to catch the arm of the antisocial a man who was distracted looking at his phone pushes her hard, making her fall from the level crossing. Arya closes her eyes expecting the worst, the image of her family flashes through her mind, but a voice makes her wake up and she finds herself in the arms of a handsome man with blond hair and light green eyes, dressed in a brown suit and green tie.

—Are you OK?—he asks in a soft voice.

Arya jumps quickly out of his arms and pulling out her sprayer.

—    Don't worry, I won't hurt you.

—    That's what they all say. If you take a step I'll yell that you're a stalker.

In that, the crowd surrounds Arya asking if she was alright despite the fact that she felt stunned, she ends up answering affirmatively to all the questions with a nod, because she could not utter words of how shocked she was. The passers-by satisfied with her answer end up dispersing and then Arya, who for a moment had forgotten about the young man, looks in all directions and discovers that has dissapeared.

 «How could he had had vanish so quickly».

 Suddenly, she remembers that she must get to school. She looks at her watch and sees that only has a few minutes left before the doorbell rings, that unbearable sound that reminds her everyday

 that the most boring part of her life begins.

Without hesitating for a second she runs for  a moment while thinking  all those people just wanto to prevent her from getting class on time. On more than one occasion, she dropped one of the bags that pedestrians were carrying,

hearing  shouts of protest behind her.

Finally she manages  to get to the school, but  finds that the main door is closed and they won't open it until half a hour by the time when the parents brought the little ones. In that, she

 receives a message from Caleb telling her to look up. He moves his lips and Arya knew that he was scolding her for being late again, but to her surprise he gestured to look to the right where the janitor was watering some plants and the only camera that could give away her crime was out of order, since one of the boys damaged it with the soccer ball. She knew Caleb wanted her to slide through the gap between the railing and the floor. It wasn't a bad idea after all she was very good at gymnastics. She looked both ways and crawled under her then entered through a door was on the floor were her classroom was.

 The door was ajar and Miss Darben was calling the list of students. Arya quickly typed a message to her friend Lisa asking her to distract the teacher with a question, and was promptly answered in the affirmative. Arya quickly sat in the last row.

The teacher finished counting those present and took out her notebook.

—Let's see, today is Thursday. It's up to Lisa and Arya to clean the room.

Arya thought about telling the teacher that she had therapy today, but Lisa had already covered her the  previous times, so it wasn't fair to leave her alone. She could try to finish soon.

Mrs Darben begins writing advanced equations holding a book in her hand that read differential equations. It was a subject that was normally seen in the university, but the government had recently announced a change in the curricular subjects and schools had to reform their programs.Arya next year would take the admission test for the University and she hoped to get a scholarship, otherwise her parents would have to go into debt and Caleb with his leveling classes because he suffered from dyscalculia, a difficulty understanding mathematical operations, that is what his teacher had said and was already costing them too much.

Normally Arya had no difficulty concentrating, but this time she couldn't help but draw the boy who had saved her.

—    Who is it? asked Lisa, the only friend she had.

Arya tells him what happened.

—    A boy can't  just disappear like that, with all those people it would have been hard for him to slip away.

—    I know, it's strange.

—    I have an idea—Lisa takes a photo of the portrait and uploads it to google—. With this search engine option, it will search for photos that resemble it.

The search engine shows a hundred boys with light blond hair, it seemed impossible to find until one of them caught Arya's eye. He was wearing the same outfit than today.

—    It is him.

—    I knew that the google satellite would never fail. You can photograph anyone outside.

—    But that doesn't tell us anything about how to find it.

A scratch made Arya come back. The teacher was looking at him with an angry tone and tells him to go to the blackboard. She had studied them the day before, but she was about to fall asleep so she went blank halfway through the exercise. She could feel the teacher's disgruntled eyes behind her and was afraid to turn around. Luckily, she was relieved when  the bell rang

—    Arya, I want you to solve that exercise by tomorrow.Have a good day guys.

The teacher's heels echoed as she walked away from the room.

Arya returned to her seat where Lisa was waiting for her holding one of the many lunch tickets that she used to buy for the entire semester and that she had stopped using a few weeks ago due to going on a special diet, since her doctor found her out of sorts weight. They grabbed their backpacks and dodged the crowded corridor toward their lockers. Arya was startled to see Gilbert Blawn, the captain of the basketball team, through the mirror. She had always liked him for being a generous person and he had been the only boy who had defended her on more than one occasion from the hostile comments of her classmates but lately she found him everywhere as if he was following her and more than once Arya had felt his eyes on her.

—    Hi Arya- said-. I was wondering if you would go with me to the spring dance.

Arya wasn't surprised. She had found out  that a week ago he and Christa Sheen, the team's assistant, had broken up and now he was looking for someone to replace her. She didnt had to take care of his brother but lied . However, it did not turn out to  be a success since Gilbert Blawn stressed that the party fell on Saturday night and he knew her parents didn't work that late.

—    I know you try to make excuses— he  smiles — .Because you're afraid of boys, but you owe me for adding your name to last semester's essay or you wouldn't be in AP Biology.

Arya wasn't interested, but what  said was true. She owed him for not being sent to summer school and if there was one thing she hated it was having to owe someone, but that wasn't the only reason she was willing to accept. She had promised her therapist that if someone invited  her to the spring she would go.  After telling him her decision, they agreed that he would pick her up at eight.

—    I can't believe you have accepted! I'm glad you decided to follow Dr. Greyson's advice.

—    Yeah well me neither but anyway-river-.I'll bring the miniature spray gas.

She always wore it hidden in her bra.

—    Tomorrow we can go shopping Lisa said.

—    I've used up the entire allowance for this month.

—    Maybe I can lend you something. I have some dresses from last season.

Lisa adored fashion, in fact, her dream was to open her own haute couture line one day, which is why she had been sending her designs along with her application to all universities across the country. As for her, she had no idea what she intended to do with her life.

They closed the lockers and went to the dining room. This one was packed as always and you could smell the aroma of chips all over the place, so Arya thought this week's menu would once again be chips. As usual, she rushed into line as Lisa saved her a spot at his favorite spot by the window overlooking the campus.

In front of her was Lindsey Folks everyone knew that she was in a relationship with the literature teacher and was speculated that she was pregnant because in recent months she had been seen throwing up in gym class. Lisa, who was always aware of all the news, had commented that she saw less and less things in the teacher's cubicle  so she thought that as soon as she received his

 payment he will  resign and they would probably go live together as soon as possible.

 She had repeated the last year, some said that she had done it on purpose to be closer to him.

When his turn came, he ordered the food and sat down with Lisa who couldn't take her eyes of Federico, a new boy who had come from Italy on exchange. He had brown skin and brown curls. Lisa had been thinking of asking him to the spring dance, but she had already received many offers and had turned them all down, so she didn't dare. Arya wishes he wanted to go with her friend so she  wouldn't have to go to the dance alone.

Just before lunchtime ended, Arya got a call from Dr. Greyson saying that she had a personal problem and couldn't see her at the agreed time, but she had a free hour at three. That would mean she would have to skip the last class of the day and since she knew it wasn't easy to get an appointment with Dr. Brooks she agreed, but mainly because she wanted to let her know that the panic medication wasn't working and they were coming more and more often. during the nights. Arya hung up the phone.

—Duty calls,

—Go carefully. I heard there are some gangs four blocks from school.

Arya pointed to her bra and grabbed her backpack. She left the dining room and stopped at the secretary's desk to show her excuse book where her mother authorized her to leave early every time she had therapy. Miss Grindge rang the call and gave her a pass. Immediately afterwards, she presented it to the doorman.

Heeding her friend's warnings, she made sure no one was following her and walked quickly until she reached the building where Dr. Greyson Brooks works.The office was on the twelfth floor of a green-glazed skyscraper located in the wealthy suburb of Brandclay, across London Bridge and quite a distance from where she lived.

Although she could have taken the elevator she did not  because since the incident had been afraid of closed spaces and because  hated the friction that occurred with other people. Arya

stopped on landing to catch her breath and resumed walking with tired steps until she rang

 the bell. The door opened and Arya went through the waiting room until she reached a room where she was with the door open. Seeing her, the doctor gets up from her to greet her with a hug.

 —Take a sit.

The doctor dragged her chair up to face her.

—How did you do with the exercise I sent you?

—Not very well, my brother tried to act like my attacker, but as soon as his face darkened I scratched him.

—What about memories about the abuse?

—There are no changes.—Has someone invited you to the dance?

Arya told him how their conversation went.

—"Okay, that's progress. Remember that it's normal to feel nervous and I know that sometimes you want to take out the spray, so I want you to not take it this time."

— No way! I feel insecure without him.

 —You can't live the rest of your life fearing men, it's time to start trusting people more, not everyone is like that boy. I remember you told me that this Gilbert guy was good to you, so he can't be a bad person.

—No, I'll use the sprayer.

In the bottom of her heart, Arya knew that the doctor was right and she shouldn't believe that all men were like that, but when a boy approached her, her body reacted automatically.

The doctor increased the dose of the medication and taught her some relaxation exercises to avoid panic attacks. They consisted of counting from ten to one repeatedly imagining that the heart rate was decreasing, but Arya had long since begun to realize given up on therapeutic treatments and had even come to think that the professionals wanted their patients to never be cured that way they could charge more money and the way they did it was by saying that things took time, so more session would be required.

The hour passed and Arya said goodbye to Dr. Greyson, promising that she would send her a text the day after the party to tell her how everything had gone. By the time she left the sun was setting in the west and illuminating the waters of the River Thames. That was her favorite time.

As if it were fate, she inadvertently ended up on the same sidewalk where that boy had saved her remembering his touch made her tremble so she shook her head abruptly to drive away that thought.

The first stars were high in the sky when she got  home and found  Michael cooking dinner.

—Hello, Ary, how was the consultation?

— Well, you know how to talk and that everything takes time blah blah, do I really have to keep going? There is no progress.—The doctor said it could take at least a year. We will wait and see what happens.

—  NO! I'm tired of trying new medications, I think they've bought me all the ones on the market and techniques that don't work. My seizures have not subsided since I started going to therapy.

—I'll talk to your mother. Now go to tell Caleb that dinner is ready.

Arya angrily runs up the stairs to her brother's room and yells for him to hear through his headphones. He can't hear. Arya disconnects the headphones while her brother plays League of Kingdoms.

—Hey! I was giving  the Blue Spears an order.

—Your team can wait, dinner is ready.

Caleb storms out of the room, something he does every time he's angry, and Arya trails after him. The smell of pizza reaches her before  enters the kitchen. Michael is a born chef, more than once Arya had told him that he had  to start hisown restaurant.

—How  are the Spanish classes Caleb? Michael asks.

—Not very good, I got a five on the last test.

Michael sighs.

—You are very smart, you could have gotten a 10 if you didn't play so much. You should learn from Arya—Arya is boring, she only goes out with her friends once a month, I wonder what she will do when she enters university and has to live with boys, she doesn't even know about sex. They'll think she's a nun or something.

—Enough Caleb!—yells michael—.Apologize to Arya.—I'm sorry.

After finishing dinner Caleb is left washing the dishes as punishment and Michael asks Arya to come with him to the living room.

—Arya, I know your brother was hard on you, but he's right about something. You need to educate yourself on sexual issues, even if reminds you of that episode.

—I don't understand why you give it so much importance. It's enough to know that I can get pregnant and since I don't date guys it's not like you should get worried.

—Not only that, you can catch diseases. The truth is, there is a lot to say about it and it is uncomfortable for me to talk about this with a daughter, so your mother compiled this information for you and wants you to read it.

— It's a joke? You are my parents.

—Your mother works until dawn and like I said, I'm not able to talk about this. If you have doubts you can always use google.

Arya stands up in a rage.

—I'm not interested in any of this! Mark was clean, I got checked and I am not planning to date anyone so.—Arya, calm down. There is something important I must tell you. We have arranged an appointment with the eldest son of the Thomsons so that you learn to be with boys.

— Before I jump into the River Thames. Stop trying to help me, I'm tired of wanting to overcome my fears.

Arya starts for the door, but stops when she hears Michael's voice.

—The appointment is tomorrow at two in front of the Big Ben.

The living room door closes behind Arya and she goes up the stairs to her room. She falls on her bed in tears.Arya receives a call from Claire, one of her old school friends. She is in a relationship with Arya's ex-boyfriend after she left her for not being able to have sex with him after being abused. Deep down in her heart she didn't hold a grudge against him for what he  did. After so many unsuccessful treatments it was understandable that a man would get bored with a girl without desire. Over time, Arya stopped believing in love and in herself.

Arya answers the call.

—    Hello,  so long without hearing from you, how is everything going?

—    Not very well, the treatments are not working.

—    I am sorry to hear that. I ran into your mother the other day at the supermarket and she told me that you've been more depressed than usual so I thought I'd invite you to a new karaoke they've opened in town that will surely make you feel better.

—    I'm sorry, but I have to concentrate on final exams.

—    But Ary, they start in a week, sure you can take a day off to talk to your best friend right?

—    Alright.

—    Great, I'll see you in front of the Rock and Stone at 4. Kisses.

Arya ends the call and begins studying for her math test until she falls asleep on her desk.

The nightmare has begun

GUYS, I have corrected this mistakes too.

Here you have a sexy picture of touya with his melting pale green eyes

-----------------------------

The next morning,Arya woke up early to go for a run like she did every Sunday. She liked to circle the park and Clearance Bay as soon as the sun began to rise to the beat of her favorite band Maroon 5.

The summer season had begun, so in the water you could see a hundred people kayaking or swimming. This had been the place where his biological father had taught her to swim before he lost his sanity. A tear ran down his cheek and he quickly brushed it away with the sleeve of his jacket.

After running twenty kilometers Arya stopped under a willow tree to catch her breath and drink water. At that, some boys dressed in leather jackets stopped in front of her. Arya reached into her pocket where she carried the self-defense spray Michael had given her.

—    You are in our place— says a boy with Punk hair

—    Sorry, I'm leaving right away.

—    Not so fast—the boy holds her arm—You have dirty our place so you will have to give us money.

—    Sure, I'll give it to you right away.

Quickly, Arya pulls out the spray  and runs. Behind her, she can hear the voices of the two boys approaching. In the distance, she sees some men carrying some planks and remembering their gym classes towards a box jump to pass over them. She looks over her shoulder and realizes that she hasn't lost them. At that point, a limousine blocks her path and two white- skinned men with brown hair and wearing black suits and dark glasses get out of the car.

—    Arya Cleirstein, please get in.

—    No, who are you?

—    You will know soon.

—    No way, I don't go up with strangers.

—    Do it.

A man punches Arya in the stomach knocking her unconscious.

Arya wakes up tied to a chair. The door opens and an old man with blue eyes and bold is sitting in from of her from the other side of the desk.

—    Welcome Arya, my name is Witterby and I am the President of the Starlight Corporation. We're sorry for the rough treatment, but we don't have time to waste.

—    What do you want from me?

The man points to a big tv screen placed in a brownish wall.

—     We have access to the medical records of each citizen of the country thanks to the fact that we have infiltrated people in each health center and we were able to realize that you are the only one with a strange blood group. It is important for our investigation.

—    I am aware that their practices are unethical and the fact that they have spies proves it, don't count on me.

—    Arya, I understand that you doubt us because of our reputation, but nothing has been proven to us.

—    That's because they have court connections and influential politicians on their side.

—    Wow, that's a very serious accusation.-laughs bitterly-. You should be careful or we could sue you for criminal libel.

—    I want you to take me home now!

—    Sorry, that is not possible. If we allow you to continue with your life, it could happen that your blood becomes contaminated with some infectious disease. That's why Touya has also applied an antibacterial to you and we'll make sure you can't have sex.

—    If you've seen my records, you'll know I'm afraid of men, so you don't have to worry.

—    We cannot take risks. From now on you will start a new life.

Witterby presses the intercom of a phone.

—    Touya, you can come in.

The door opens and Arya is surprised to see that it is his savior. Touya looks about 20 years old, Caucasian, he has beautiful light green eyes that convey tranquility and wearing a black suit makes him look quite attractive.

—    Arya, this is Touya. He was the one who saved you.

—    It's nice to meet you, Miss Cleirstein.

—    From now on you will share an apartment with him and you will come every week, starting with today, to provide us with blood and just so that you take it into account.If you mention any of this to anyone, your family will pay the price.

—    However, you will be able to continue with your daily activities.Touya adds.

—    Enough talk, Touya take the sample.

Touya runs a piece of cotton across  and inserts the needle. I look away as blood begins to fill the tube and turn as he says he's done. Then, he goes to a blue machine similar to the ones used to introduce recyclable bottles and puts the sample in, which is soon swallowed by the hole.

—All right, you can go.

Touya frees me from my restraints and we go out to a white reception  where a forthy year old blonde human with brown eyes is talking in the phone.

We walked into a hallway adorned with black wallpaper embellished with the stars of the Milky Way and entered a greyish elevator. Once inside, Touya orders me to drink  from a bottle that he has extracted from his coat.

The elevator doors opened into a basement filled with fancy cars. Arya followed Touya to an antique light green Fiat and after he got in he opened the passenger door. A scent of pine wafted from an air freshener relaxes me a bit.

Arya turns to see Touya who is wearing silver earrings.

—    You don't have to be afraid of me.

—    Who said I'm scared?

—    I can see how your nails are digging into the seat.I don't like my car being destroyed.

—    Sorry, I'll stop doing it.

At that, Touya puts his hand over me.

—    If you want to push her away, go ahead, I just want you to stop shaking.

Arya feels the warmth of Touya's hand running through her veins and for the first time she doesn't feel like taking it away because his words had given her peace of mind.

The car parks outside a luxurious building and before Arya gets out of the car Touya opens the door for her. They walk through the lobby to an elevator where he dials the twenty-fifth floor. Before opening the door, he tells her to take  off her shoes. The apartment is a small penthouse with no room separation and a screen has been placed in the center of the room, preventing anyone from seeing what's on the other side.

—    Since I live alone I don't have another room, but I have put a bed behind that divider. I hope it's enough.

—    It is, thank you.

—    In the bathroom I have left a T-shirt that can serve as pajamas. Tomorrow I will take care of getting you a new wardrobe.

Touya leaves behind the counter.

Arya walks into the bathroom and as she washes her hair she thinks that Touya isn't a bad boy after all and that someone like him shouldn't work for someone like Witterby. When she comes out of the bathroom she finds Touya putting some plates of food on the table and he is wearing a long sleeve red t-shirt  with some black sweat pants.

—    Listen, I don't like to talk a lot, so refer to me only when necessary.

Arya nods.

Touya ate in silence without looking at her and that sepulchral atmosphere made her nervous, because she was not used to snacks not being noisy. Her dinners with Caleb were always filled with arguments or jokes so she concluded that it would take her time to get used to things like this if she wanted to keep her family safe. Suddenly, he looked up at her and in a slow voice he told her that Witterby would start

the process to be her legal guardian and that meant that he would have to sue his family. Arya turned pale. Under no circumstances did she want to be under Witterby's orders. It was enough to have to obey him with his threats. She put her palms on the table and made the glasses shake and with a look of fury she fixed her eyes on him. She thought of recriminating him,

After dinner she was unable to sleep because she was afraid of the nightmares. For months she had been taking sleep-inhibiting drugs behind the back of her parents. She had bought them from a classmate in high school with her allowance, since they required a prescription. As she didnt have them with her she occurred to

to prepare a cup of coffee, so she went to the kitchen and turned on the coffee maker. The smell reached her nose, reminding her of the one her mother made for her when she had to study for exams, and then a tear slipped down her cheek. But then her sobbing become noisy and could not make it cease but then she felt a presence behind her and Touya was looking at her. Before she could say anything he hand her a white cat with brown spots adding his name Is Cream adding. The pressure Arya felt in her chest started to fade away.

—Sleep with him, will help you.

—Im sorry, but I am allergic to cats.

I hand him over.

—Well that only leave me one option. You will have to sleep with me.

—What? No, I don't know you.

—Is the middle of the night and I have to wake up early tomorrow. If not, you will be sobbing all night and I wónt be able to sleep.

—And what makes you think sleeping with you will calm me?

—Is simple science, when a woman is against a man chest her brain process it as safety.

—How I know I can trust you?

—You cant, sometimes you just have to take the risk.

«If he was a bad person he wouldn't be offering a cat to calm down and he does not give me a bad feeling like other men does».

—Fine. But I warn you i want let my guard down.

—Do what you want.

Touya hug me and whisper me in my ear that I am safe and that night  I slept better than any other day.

I got a Bodyguard

Here is Arya new style in this chapter

-------

The next morning, Arya is woken up by the doorbell ringing. She gets up and sees Touya return with a couple of bags bearing the logo of one of the most expensive stores in the city. After handing them over, she tells him to hurry up and get ready because they are waiting for them at the corporation, so she goes to the bathroom and tries on a turtleneck sweater along with a skirt. As she combs her fingers through her hair, she wonders why she is the only one who has been born with type zero blood in all these years. Outside, Touya is dressed in a grey suit and before she can say hello he tells her that today the Corporation has presented the request so Witterby can be my legal tutor and that Mr Cleirstein is supporting him  as he prefers I am under Witterby custody than my mom meanwhile the Court determinates he is able to raise me properly.

—Witterby has asked me to be your bodyguard. Today you have classes so I will be your shadow all day.

—The school will not allow it.

—They agreed. I Bought you a new uniform go and get change, I will wait you in the car.

I must find out what the Corporation wants from me and for that I must convince Touya to break his loyalty towards Witterby.

I find some scissors and I cut my hair as a sign that I belong to the Corporation now. The old Arya is death and cannot go back in time to change it so all I can do is go forward.

While in the car, Touya gives me a card with his number and tells me to add it to my contacts but I tell him that was in the bag they stole me.

Then he passes me his phone and tells me to click the button to reset it from fabric.

—Is your now, if something happens call the number of this card.

It was Witterby personal phone number.

The car stops in front of the main gate and Touya takes a packback from the backseat. He says all what I need for classes is there.

—People are gonna start gossip if you are around me all day, I am trying to adapt to this new school and you are just gonna make it harder.

— You should feel lucky, other girls would be dying for having a y man as his shadow.Now let’s go.

As soon we step out of the car  everyone was looking at me but I could not see Touya expression as he put his dark glasses. The Janitor says he must be the bodyguard that was expected to protect Arya and Touya simply nods.

« The nightmare has begun».

Touya open the door of my classroom and wait till I walk in first. Lisa eyes went wide when he saw him and from one moment to another all the girls were asking a lot of questions when suddenly Christa Sheen said I was a Coward girl who is always afraid to the point  that I cannot deal my own matters that I have to hire a bodyguard.My face turn red and i just wish I had brought the scissors to cut her face in a thousand pieces but then Touya surprised me by saying that having fear is also an act of bravery as admitting it is not something that every human does while she hides her jealousy of not having a bodyguard by insulting his client.

—I Will not allowed any kind of offense towards Mrs Cleirstein. Is that clear?

—Yes.

—Great. I will be by the window. Excuse me.

Touya was with Arya during all her classes but he could not be in the dressing room when it was time for Arya Acrobatic gym Club.

Arya was changing into her gymnastic leotard when the fire alarm started to rung. She tried to open the door but it was locked and the smoke was filtering from under the door. She called Touya name but he didn't respond.

Suddenly, one of the men that worked at home open the door and said Touya has been kidnapped by some thief’s with a black mask.

—I have to save him. In which direction did they go?

—Are you crazy? leave that to the police.

—I will just follow them and call them.

—I think they are heading to the exit that leads to the Greenhouse.

I was still wearing my underwear so I pick a towel and run but in my mind I kept asking my self why I was risking my self for someone that I bearly know. I felt like my heart was gonna desintegrated in a thousand pieces as my blood was not enough for all the force I was asking to my body. By the time I reached the  wooden-fence door my  barefeets were bleeding but I quickly trash away that thought so I could concentrate.

The Greenhouse was just a few steps ahead  and the heavy mud didn’t let me advance quickly. I pass some palm trees until I get out of the forest and I see the Greenhouse. It was a crystalized building  with  a lot lof pretty plans. I slowly opened the door  and suddenly I step on a paper with some words were cutted from a magazine. As soon as  I read It I had to grab to the door handle « Mrs Cleirstein, we have Touya. If you would like to  see him again come to the Chelsea Harbour, we wil wait you in the yatch named  Cleopatra. If you tell the police he is done for ».

—Excuse me.—the man worked at school was handling my backpack—. Good I catched you, I thought you may  need your things.

—Thanks.

—You must be very fond for a Bodyguard you barely new.

—Is not that, It just that lately he had been a huge support for me so I believe I owe him.

— The teacher of the Club came and I said your bodyguard took you to the hospital.

—Thanks, would you mind turn around.

I put the  gym uniform and while the man was still looking to the other direction I said goodbye to him and I start running to the closest subway station.

hello guys, here you have the update as i promised. Until next sunday.

thanks for liking my story

--------------------------------------------------

20 minutes later I am buying a ticket in the subway station when Touya phone started to rang. I pick up and inmediatley I hear Witterby voice asking me were I was. I lied to him by saying I was at the hospital cause there was  a  fire at school so they were making me a routine check out. Unfortunatley that did not convince him as ask me why I was answering his phone. I explained him I lost mine during the robbery.

—That is the worst lie ever, tell me what happened.

—I cant, I have to go.

I turned off the phone so they could not track me.

After I was abused I started caring less for others and more for myself. Although, I am aware is a selfish way of thinking but it simply just happened. Is amazing how circumstances can transform in a person that you  never  expected but Touya words to Christa Sheen  woke up something in me and gave me the courage to go after him. My loved ones had always been watching my back and is time that I learn how to do it now.

The train was quite at this hour and there was a Tv transmitting the news. Lately, the news had been about non important stuff as nothing happens in London so the journalists just prepare reports about any trash they can to justify their job.

Chelsea harbour was one of the smallest ports around London where people kept their private  yatches  and is  surrounded by luxury apartments. It a quite busy area during the day but today the city was organizing a sailing competition so the area would be empty and the marine police will be distracted with it.

I get out from the station and walk through a cobblestone street that goes beside the ocean. The water looks shiny due to the sun reflecting in the surface and the air feels warm. Once I get to the docks and I search for the boat but I couldn’t find it. My phone started ringing and I recognise is them.

— Some unexpected visitors were coming to the harbour. We need you to take the green boat is at your left and drive  to Dover Cliffs.

—I don’t know how to sail.

—Just turn the key and move the handle forward.

—Okay.

They cut the call and I start driving. Hopefully Dover Cliff was on the opposite direction than were the race was taking place. Also, I don’t have a license so I could get in trouble.

Finally, I see a white old yatch tied to one rock that was floating over the water and one men that looked like arabian with dark skin and a long black beard was holding a gun.  As soon as he sees me, he tells me to swim to the boat. I took of my hoodie and jump into the cold water. I climb trough the ladder and the man told me to follow him inside. Touya face darken when he saw me but he couldn’t speak as his mouth was tied with masking tape and a fourty-  whited skin man with ginger hair was sitting in front of him with a  knife.

—So you are here, Arya.

—What do you want from me?

— Your  Blood is special. The last person who had it was million of years ago, they were people born in a  Celt tribe. According to our research common blood groups are dissapearing by genetical changes in peoples bodies.

—And what that has to do with me?

—Your Blood type is special, it is not affected by genetics factors that can make it change. Our company wants to study your blood to see if we can replicate your Mother Cells. And is that exactly what we think Starlight Corporation is doing.

—If that is what you want then take it and let us go.

—Is not that easy, Mother cells only last a couple of days. We need you to come with us.

— I cant. Witterby is my legal guardian.

—In that case,— the man puts a knife in Touya neck—. Say Goodbye to him.

—Wait, I will do it.

—Nael, the contract.

The arabian man place me a paper over a table were says from now on I would leave in the dependencies of Cosmo as a volunteer for experiments until the company has find the results are needed.

I pick up the pen and was about to sign when suddenly a strong wave hit the yatch and I hit my self with a door. The movements were so powerful that everytime I try to stand up I ended on the floor. Then Nael says there is a storm outside and that has cut the rope.  He adds we will end crashing in the cliffs if we don’t move.

—Then do something!—yells the man.

Seconds later he comes back saying that the engine has broken and that we need to try to rowl to the coast.

—You two will help. But don’t think I wont be observing you.

The ginger  man says we must take the boat to the small beach is under the cliffs. While I row my brains spins trying to find a way to get rid of the arabian man as he is the most dangerous for having a gun but suddenly I started feelick sick for having wet clothes.

A dense mist shows up and suddlenly I could not see the man. Nature has just saved us both. Quickly I crawl to the other side of the boat when suddenly my head hits with something making me scream the word « shit». I hear Touya voice telling me to kept quiet.

—Is useless to hide— shouts the gringe man— I will find you.

Touya takes my hand  and we crawl blindly until I recognise the Rudder. Suddenly a lighting crossed through the clouds and falls over my boat. The fire rises to the sky  and one minute later started to sink.

—Put this—Touya has found a life jacket—. I am going right behind you.

—No, I am not leaving….

I couldn’t finish the sentence because Touya scream.

—Next cut will be more deep—says the ginger man.

—Go to the lighthouse, now—says Touya.

—No. I will save you.

Touya kick me in the chest and I fall into the ocean. Hopefully I was still holding the lifeline.

I tell myself that I must trust him so I swim to the coast with the help of the waves that were pushing me into that direction. Once  my feets reached the beach I look at an artificial path the government had made so visitors can access to the beach.

If the storm was not that bad probably the marine would have send off the ships to patrol but not with this weather.

After the abusement I never expected someone would try to save me and now that Touya  sacrificed for me I don’t know how to process it but a tear falls from my eye. I turn around and screamed his name to were the boat should be  saying that Bodyguards cannot die.

A white lighhouse appeared as soon as I finish walking to the top and I was only a few steps from the door when I started to feel worst. I  touch my forehead and realised my body was burning.

Before I could knock the door a 30 year old boy with black hair and light blue eyes comes out and tells me with an angry voice what I was doing outside.

—Some men have…

I fainted before I could tell him  where Touya was.
