《The Bodyguard ✔》Chapter Two
Advertisement
Today is the 29th of November, a friday. Family Duchoix will come over at six p.m. to have dinner. They live in the same street, but that doesn't mean they automatically live close. Our street is one and a half km long you see, and we live at the dead end.
François Duchoix is an old business partner of my dad's. He and his wife still send us a christmas card every year, although we don't see each other that often. They have one son, Lucas, who is one year older than me. I can still remember us playing in the empty meeting rooms, while our fathers were discussing business plans. But unfortunately, we grew apart these previous years. He went to boarding school and I barely saw him when he was home. I'm not sure if he will join his parents tonight when they come.
I walk down the staircase and go right. I pass the white bow, supported by two columns, and enter my most favorite part of the house. Bookcases reach the high ceiling and in the middle of the room stands my one and only love. My piano is black and faces the window. Furthermore the room is filled with a couple of dark couches and a writing desk. Their color match beautifully with the red walls. Completely in the back, you can find the dining table, where we will eat dinner later.
I go sit at the windowsill. The trees are bald and all the leaves have disappeared. How sad everything looks.
I'm not fond of wearing dresses, nor skirts. Preferably, I wear pants everyday. But because of occasions like these, I do own a couple of emergency dresses. I pick out a simple black dress. You can never go wrong with a black dress, right? I brush my hair and put on some mascara.

My bedroom is big enough for a double bed. You can find it on your right, when you enter the room. My bed faces a big window, around three meters away. My bedroom marks the right end of the house, which is completely build in a somewhat classical style.
Someone knocks on my door.
"Ella, are you ready?"
My dad's head appears from behind my white door. I look at myself in the mirror, thinking I look okay.
"I'll be there in a minute."
As I am walking down the stairs, I try to recall Lucas when I've last seen him. I remember him best when he was just a boy, around ten years old. He had beautiful blond hair; I always envied him for that. I, on the other hand, had lost my blond hair from when I was little. It has grown darker every year and resulted to a light shade of ash brown in its seventeenth year.
But the guy I see standing at my door, looks nothing like the cute little boy I barely remember. The only thing Lucas heired from his younger years, is his glorious hair color. He grew up to be a tall and handsome young man. He has an athletic posture, but not too exaggerated. I see him smiling to my dad while shaking his hand, not noticing me watching him. He smiles like there is no evil in this world and his eyes speak purity and innocence. Those sweet characteristics contrast with his handsome jawline and Greek-looking nose. He is simply irresistible.
I get sucked back into reality when my dad beckons me. Every face in the room turns and looks at me: my dad's, Mr. and Mrs. Duchoix's and his. I feel embarrassed just standing here and observing a certain person, so I somewhat awkwardly frolic downstairs, while trying to hide the blushes on my cheeks.

"Giselle, you remember the Duchoix, right?" My dad asks.
"Yeah dad, Mrs. Duchoix made us that delicious pie last year for christmas. How could I've forgotten?" She is a very sweet and beautiful woman, I've always liked her. Her husband is ten years older than she is, but he is a very nice man. I guess they're kind of a perfect family.
After I shook hands with them, my dad continues: "And this is Lucas. It has been a while, hasn't it?"
I try to shake his hand with the same confidence as I did with his parents, but I suspect it turned out pretty weak. He smiles anyway.
"It has been a while, indeed, but tomato-buddies never grow apart, right?"
For a moment, I was completely baffled, trying to make out what the hell he just said and what it should mean. Then it all comes back to me.

8 259Displaced
Sucked into the void without warning, a handful of people from around the globe suddenly find themselves in the foreign world of Scyria, a place filled with people who can jump three times their height, conjure fire from thin air, and perform any number of other inhuman feats. Scattered across the realm and armed with newfound powers far greater than those of the native Scyrians, they each struggle to find their path in this unfamiliar reality. Their unforeseen arrival sends tremors throughout the world, toppling a centuries-long age of relative peace, prosperity, and progress as they each leave their mark on the world in their own ways. But Scyria has its own share of intrigue, even without these unwelcome guests. A major metropolis is wiped from existence out of nowhere, triggering a manhunt across the continent for those deemed responsible. Two feuding nations decide to bring their hostilities to a new level. Blades clash, nations fall, and plots years in the making begin to reveal themselves. This is the story of some unwilling trespassers, taken from their lives against their will and thrown into situations they barely understand. This is the story of some unfortunate Scyrians, their lives blown apart by the newcomers’ sudden and destabilizing existence. This is the story of Scyria, a world with a lost past buried beneath millenia. But as both the Earthlings and Scyrians are about to find out, sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried forever... I marked the story as having Gore, Sexual Content, and Traumatising content because it does contain a bit of all three, though not what I believe is a significant amount. Just wanted to be safe. It does contain a whole lot of profanity, though. That one is very much deserved. I post one chapter ahead on Patreon here, you can get it for a dollar: https://www.patreon.com/IrateRapScallion My Discord server for discussing the story and whatever else: https://discord.gg/uycZBbv Please vote for my story on Top Web Fiction by clicking here: http://topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=displaced Thanks!

8 193The Legend of Rayola the Deathless [Dead]
[This story is Discontinued] Another story based on the lore, which has been expanded and with far more details and hopefully better writing shall be released later on. After about the tenth time she died, Rayola started to think, that maybe she didn't come out quite right, even by supernatural standards. Of course, the pale white skin and hair, plus the blazing orange eyes might have been a clue and it was getting harder and harder to blend in. To top it all off, she has no memory of who she is and there's an incredibly suspiscious, snarky voice in her head making quips about her life choices. Even worse was the inability to sleep. At first, she thought that maybe she was just an overly messed up zombie or even a vampire! But she was proven wrong time and time agian... there were too many inconsistencies and it made her uneasy. The final straw was the issue with her own identity. At first she was okay with being her own brand-new person, but as more and more ghosts of her past started to slowly catch up, she had no choice but to set off on a journey... A journey to discover who she once was, and to find out what had happened to her. It was for no noble cause but merely one for personal salvation. Yet, her actions left behind a legend in her wake.
