~Zara Todd’s POV~
“Who the hell are you?”
I steer my head towards the voice and my breathe hitches in the way like I have seen a ghost. The man I am seeing in front of me looks so scary with a huge scar in the middle of the face while he is holding his ear with one hand which is bleeding and his eyes are more than just intimidating.
“I…I…,” I couldn’t just speak anything. I have the hunch that this man is against our side and somehow I am getting the clue that the reason he is holding his hurt ears could be because of Xavier.
“You’re with him,” his voice creaks from between his teeth, and his brows bends as he walks towards me as he walks closer to me.
“How did you get in here? And this uniform, are you from Hilltown High as well?” he asks with the anger infuriating on his eyes.
~ Zara Todd’s POV~“What’s you last wish? Trust me! I will fulfill all of your wishes,” he says as he points a knife on his neck and my eyes enlarges in shock.No! Not again. I don’t want him to do this anymore. I don’t want him to hurt anyone one more time. I don’t want him to show his devil shelf to himself one more time.I quickly get up from my place and run towards him and try to stop him.“No! Please! Xavier, please don’t do it. Don’t hurt him,” I say to him standing right beside him but he doesn’t seem to give any interest in anything I am saying right now.“Xavier! Please don’t do. Don’t kill him please,” I repeat but there seems no reaction of him. I just hate him so much for pretending something so much perfectly. Why the hell is he like that?So, I think
~Zara Todd’s POV~“You know what I hate the people like him but I should tell you, I hate the people like you in the whole world who are just so stupid,” he says with his gritted teeth. I can see the blood in between his teeth as he says that.We both hear the unclear voices of the people.“You can run, right?” he asks. I nod my head.“Let’s run,” he says as he instantly grips my hands and drags me down the alleys. I don’t know where he is taking me but my heart tells me that I should trust him this time. I should just do as he tells me right now. So, I don’t even question him for what he is doing right now.He takes me through the dark places where there isn’t even the light. I am afraid of the darkness in the place as I have never been to a place like this but even without darkness my life is quite darker but here even though it is dark and he is someone whom I don’t quite tr
~ Zara Todd’s POV~“Young miss?” I hear the voice and that voice doesn’t seem to be harmful at all. I squint my eyes because of the light as the light is focused at our faces.“They’re here. Young master,” he comes rushing to us with some of the people. They quickly carry Xavier and are taking away from there but then I suddenly feel his hands holding mine which makes then hard to carry him along. So, I walk along with them to the exit.When we come in the light, they see that he is grabbing my hand with his eyes closed. In the light, I realized that the person is non-other than his own driver and he looks at the hands quite shocked.“Miss, you cannot go with us right now. You have to go on that car. I am sorry but young master won’t like it. Please,” he says and I nod. I don’t know what does he mean to say but I am sure there might be some reasons behind it.I try to unclasp his han
~ Zara Todd's POV~My eyes turn towards the direction when I see Asher instead of Xavier. How can I forget that Asher had promised me that he will be attending the dinner tonight?"Hey dad! Ma," he walks to the dinner table and hugs both of them one by one and he approaches to me for the same."Hey! Zara," he leans and hugs me and the bruises kind of hurt when he does that."Hi," I say before he hugs me so that I can avoid him from hugging me but he does it even after that. I don't think I can ever avoid him.I look at the watch when he sits beside me and I feel kind of weird sitting beside him.It's already past eight and I don't think he is eligible to stay in the dining hall after this. My face turns to Xavier's mom when I look at the watch but she doesn't seem to be affected by it.What the hell is that? Was that rule just for me?Then I turn my face towards him."You're looking beautiful lady," he says and mother su
~Zara Todd's POV~What does he mean by 'for you'?"I don't get you. Did you say for me, is it?" I ask him one more time to assure him. My fingers are clutching the hem of my clothes while my eyes are fixed on him who is playing with my notebook."You're right. It's for you. I thought you were almost deaf. I feel quite friendly with you and I don't want some monster to ruin your life like hell. So, in order to protect you I am going to be your bodyguard in your section," he says as he stands up and bows down.What the hell is that?I feel something weird inside me. Something suddenly feels warm inside me with just his words.He is doing that for me? Why do I feel so much touched and quite emotional when he says that?"You believed that, don't you?" he breaks out into huge laugh as he places the notebook down on the table and walks towards me and flips my hair with one of his hands and plops down in the bed."That's my bed,
~Zara Todd's POV~The car drives us to the old building of the city in which it is written Library of Woods.I don't quite understand the name but I love the way it is written in the bold and large letters."You have never been here, right?" he asks me. I simply nod my head."Don't worry. I will help you all the locations. If you have any problem, you can just run to me. I will help you with everything," he smiles as he says that and grabs my hand and leads me inside.I really can't depict what's going on his heart. Xavier's heart is clear towards me. He doesn't like me appearing the the sights of his. He isn't find of me and I can see that clearly in his eyes but of Asher?His habits are quite hard to read. I can't just portray what he means to say all the time and what his actions illustrates."You see this library is really huge and you can find any book and every book over here. I know school's library is huge but the main p
~Zara Todd's POV~God damn! I know this isn't Asher's writing. He actually wasn't with me, then who the help was it?Suddenly I started getting weird vibes around me. Is there really a ghost around me? Why do I feel like I am being hunted and watched over?I quickly rush to the bed and cover myself with thick duvet. The night is actually chilly and as silent as the dead graveyard. So, whole night my heart thumps like hell in fear and I cant even get out of my bed in any way.I don't know when did I even get asleep. When I wake in the morning, it is already half past six.God damn! I need to have breakfast soon as I have to be in school by eight am.I quickly rush towards the bathroom for my daily morning rituals."Should I bath or not?" I keep on thinking about it. I took a bath last day, so I don't want to hurt my skin one more time and also, I don't want to be late for the classes.I just look at the bathroom stuf
~Zara Todd's POV~ "Y...o...u," I can't help but panic seeing him right behind me. "What are you doing over here?" I say more like a whisper and he deadpans me with his green orbs. Without speaking anything, he walks towards the mirror and adjusts his bow tie in his neck. "Why the hell are you dressed like that? It's a groom's dress," I say as I manage to walk to him with such a heavy flares of the gown. Asher really is a crazy guy. I mean why would he dare to do something so weird and strange in front of the whole world. "I was just trying. I'm sure that monster wouldn't look as gorgeous and as handsome as me you see. He lags behind in beauty and charms in front of me," he says as he stands in front of me with a tuxedo. Honestly, I had not expected that he would look completely different in tuxedo. I mean it changed his whole look making him look more matured, decent and quite wise. I can't stop but gaze at his beautifu
