'It's dark, it's too dark... I can't see anything, I can't feel anything, I can't hear anything.. If I can't do anything, am I..?- '
A loud bang tore her from her thoughts, it came from the hallway supported with a loud steps in the hallway. Alice sat up on her bed and looked at the door of her room. She became worried and quietly got up from her bed. Her brothers always do a lot of noise, so she thought that they are doing this again. She opened the door and looked around the hallway " It's the middle of the night! What you two are- " A man with sky-blue hair appeared on the other side of her door and motioned for her to remain silent. The unknown man was wearing a general's military uniform with several visible wounds on his body. He came a step closer to her and whispered quietly " Please.. help me " Alice looked him up and down, she had the strange feeling that she shouldn't trust him. Two male voices were heard from the end of the corridor, and she pulled the stranger into her room without thinking and quietly closed the door behind him. The male voices get louder and soon the men walked in her room. They both were wearing military uniforms but she wasn't able to recognize from which country are them." Excuse us for bothering you miss, but we have a search warrant. " the another man was looking around her room. " What are you actually looking for? " she asked as she tried her best to do not sound suspicious. " A man, to be exact, a general " he looked at her " Have you seen him? " The man came a step closer to her as he instinctively stepped a step back " No I haven't " The another man was looking in her wardrobe and under her bed. Her room wasn't really big, so soon they have finished looking around " Again sorry for disturbing you, miss " Alice escorted them to the door " No problem, I hope you will find him soon " with that she closed the door and sighed with relief. The blue haired man showed up from a hidden little door on the floor. " Thank you.. I owe you my life miss " he looked at her " Who are you actually..? " she asked as he was scanning his face with her eyes " My name is Lucas. I still can't tell you more details about me and my identity, but for now, I can only tell you this " Alice sat on her bed, without stopping looking at the man in her room " Are they.. dangerous? " she asked " Only if they find me " he replied " ..What do you mean? " she slightly tilted her head as the the man named Lucas smiled " You will see.. "
This was only the beginning ...

I'm new here so I'll be glad if you comment what do you think about it.
Lucas stood next to Alice " I have to ask you for one more thing.. I know, I'm getting a little annoying, but this is my charm " he leaned a little and looked at her " Can I stay here for a while..? " Alice looked at him " ..Hah.. Well do I have to agree? I don't want to be rude, but I have saved a totally stranger from 2 men from the military. And the stranger wants to stay here, in my home..? I have helped you, without knowing what crime you have done! " It was too much for her, a lot of things happened today and it's a hard for her to assimilate everything what just happened. " Everything happened too fast... " she whispered and looked down. " Sorry " he said " But.. " he closed his eyes and sat next to her " Excuse me, but do I have to have committed a crime to be wanted by the military? " Lucas looked at her as he raised an eyebrow. Alice looked back at him as she almost couldn't believe that he is asking this " You've got to be kidding me, right? Of course you have! Otherwise, why do the military want to capture you? " Lucas gently poked her forehead " Hm, just for fun? " he smiled. She frowned a little " It's not the right time for joking around. " she said and looked away. He sighed " Okay, okay, okay.. Just don't be mad at me. " he laid on her bed " So.. about my question.. " Alice got up " You said that you will leave if I tell you to, but I don't really think that you will do this " she crossed her arms under her chest and looked at him. Lucas giggled " Yes~ " he closed his right eye and looked at her with his opened eye " You're not as stupid as I thought you were " Alice puffed out her cheeks " Hey! At least you shouldn't be rude when you are staying here in my home! " He smiled happily and sat up " So, you agree with my request, m'lady? " she slightly rolled her eyes " Yes, and please don't call me like that.. " she said and walked to the door as she looked back at the man in her room " Are you..hungry? ". For a strange reason she felt embarrassed and looked away to hide the pink blush on her cheeks. Lucas noticed that and smiled " A little bit.. " he closed his eyes and sighed quietly. Alice nodded and walked out of the room. When she closed the door of her room, she leaned against it and put her hands on her face as she tried to calm herself down ' I can't believe it! I'm feeling shy because of one stranger! '. Soon her blush disappeared and she walked to the kitchen through a hallway with a loads of paintings and pictures which are arranged in a row next to each other. Every painting was different and it had its own style and topic. There were pictures of her family. Some of them was with her and her two younger male siblings, others are with her parents.
While waiting for Alice to come back, Lucas walked slowly around her room. One picture on her nightstand caught his attention. He quietly walked to the nightstand and picked up the picture " Hm... " he sighed quietly and put it back on its place. ' Her family, perhaps. ' The male sat on her bed, again, and looked at the window which was next to her bed. " Family... " he whispered while a sad expression appeared on his face.
Alice knocked on the door " It's me. ". Soon the door have opened and two little boys jumped in her arms " S-sister! " they both said at the same time. " Everything is alright now " she cuddled them and kissed their foreheads. The little twins gripped onto her shirt and sobbed quietly. Alice kept them in her arms for a little bit longer and walked in their room to put them to sleep.
Lucas was sitting on the edge of the bed, thoughtful. He ran his fingers through his sky-blue hair and looked at the black night sky. He looked at the medals on his uniform and then looked at his wounds " Hah .. Such an irony ". After some time Alice quietly walked back in her room, she carried food and a first aid kit for his wounds. She slightly tilted her head and looked at him as her snow wite hair slid slowly over her shoulders " Is everything okay? ". Her blue eyes scanned his face when he looked at her " Yeah, I think. " he said quietly and watched her coming closer to him. Lucas looked at the first aid kit " No need, I'm fine. " he looked away. She sighed and put the food on her nightstand " No you aren't. " she said when she sat next to him with the first aid kit in her lap. Alice frowned a little and looked at him " Wait... don't tell me that you..- " she smiled " No. " he replied " I'm not. ". She giggled " What? You didn't even know what I was going to say and you already declined... You are scared of this, don't you? " she pointed the first aid kid in her lap " This don't bite. " she smiled" Now please let me take care of you. ". Lucas kept quiet and let her to take care of his wounds.
What do you think? What does Lucas hide? What have he been through? What happened to his family?
