She greated her with a smile.

"It's nice to finally meet you Jennifer."

She said like she knew Jenny for a long time already.

"H-how did you know my name? Who are you? What were you doing inside the store? Were you the one who did those to them? Wh-"

She cut her off.

"Whoah... wait chill, calm down, don't hyperventillate okay? Breathe in, breathe out."

She said trying to calm Jenny.

"I'm fine, I'm okay... I... I just need answers. I wanna know what's going on."

The lady sighed.

"Okay... but before that,"

She gestured her hand for a handshake.

"I am Hilary, nice to meet you, I'm twenty-four years old and I'm here to help you with your questions." She chuckled.

"Uh, do I still have to introduce myself?"

Hilary looked at her with confusion in her eyes, as if she does not get Jenny's question - well she really does not.

"I mean, you already know me and all,"

Hilary chuckled again.

"You really do say what goes through your mind do you, sure then, introduce yourself."

She answered with a smile plastered on her face.

"Jennifer Alexa Mortez, Jenny is okay, but now, I really want answers."

Hilary gave her a smile.

"Okay then, I will try my best."

Jenny took a deep breath then opened her mouth for a question.

"Okay first of all, how did you know me?"

"Well, seeing you face to face was by fate, I was assigned to protect you from any danger that is about to come in the near future; knowing you was a part of my job."

Jenny gave Hilary a puzzled look.

"How am I included with your job? What is your job anyway? Wait don't answer that first, for how long have you been following me?"

"Five years after your fathers death."

Jenny gave her a shocked look.

"Y-you know my father?"

Hilary gave her a sympathetic look and a reassuring smile.

"A good man I would say."

"So, here, what is your job, and how in the world am I included to it?"

"Well, my job is to protect you from any harm that will come in the near future."

"What? How the hell am I going to be in harm or danger?"

Hilary pulled her closer to her, as if what she is going to say next is a really big and serious secret.

"You are always at the peack of danger Jenny, hundreds – thousands of eyes are on you, they are after you and they're spreading so fast already."

Jenny's face darkened from the thought.

"Basically I'm close to death, who are–"

She was cut off by an explosion and a loud growl.

"Oh shit, run Jenny, run!"

At first Jenny was still dumbfounded until she felt a deep frightening aura, she ran as fast as she could.

She reached the entrance of the warehouse.

"What in the world–"

Again she was cut off this time by a hand.

A hand covered her mouth and pulled her inside a truck.

It was dark inside.

She wasn't going to scream even if this guy is dangerous.

Even if she is very frightened already.

For she knows that if this guy is dangerous, the ones chasing them are much more than this guy is.

The guy moved his hand away from her mouth and pushed her on the truck's side.

He held on both of her wrist and pulled it up, not tight, not loose, just enough strenght to make her stay put.

"Hmm... What a fast pulse you have."

He chuckled with his deep but soft voice.

"Don't be frightened love, I don't bite,"

Love, seriously?

She said on her thoughts.

She felt his warm breath on her neck, realizing they were so close to each other.

He sniffed her neck.

"Lavender,"

He said then kisssd her neck.

"W-what do you w-want from me?"

She stuttered.

"I..."

He trailed off and whispered to her ear.

"Want you,"

He planted a soft kiss on her ear.

"Mine, and mine only."

He started planting soft kissed from her ear to her neck while his hands were crawling from her wrists to her waist down to he thighs, she couldn't restrain herself from letting out a soft moan.

He chuckled.

"Even if I want you all mine, it's kind of rude for me not introuduce myself,"

His soft lips touched hers for a moment he then moved away and pulled her out of the truck.
