The Welcoming

Chap. 3

He had taken out some type of gun pressed it on the side of my neck and pulled the trigger.

A sharp pain ran thru my body and in just a few seconds my knees had buckled and I felt my self falling. I prepared for impact but it never came. I felt strong arms holding me up.

I looked up at him as my vision went blurry then black. I felt as if I was sleeping awake.

My eyes wouldn't open and my body numb. But I could hear everything happening around me.

A ladies voice filled my ears. It was unfamiliar and soothing. I couldn't make out what she was saying. When she was done talking a familiar masculine voice followed. Immediately a image of the man from the room appeared in my head.

After a minute or two I could tell they were repeating my name but it sounded so far away. Their voices slowly came closer and closer till I felt they were right in my ears.

Slowly I gained movement of my body. My eyes fluttering softly yet vision still slightly blurry.

I saw what looked like a women figure bent over facing me. Blink by blink I was able to tell all her features.

She seemed to be really tall. Around 6'0, long black hair looking like a flowing river with curls falling so eloquently over her shoulder. She was light skin with light brown eyes. And a nice curvy figure. She reminded me of a model you would see on the front page of a high class magazine.

"ASHLEY!!!" She squield shaking me a little before hugging me tight.

For a lady she had the strength of 5 men and a teenage boy. She had me in a death grip and I couldn't breath she must have realized because of my disspret gasps for air because she jumped back letting me go and laughing a little.

"My bad I forget how strong I am some times. Im so happy to see your finally awake" She smiled sweetly at me. She reminded me of a mom waking her child from a deep sleep.

Even tho she gave off a friendly and motherly orea something about her was off. I couldn't put my finger on it. But I felt as if I couldn't trust her.

"I hope the big bad man didn't scare you to bad." I knew she was talking about the man from the room. Even tho at first he did scare me something made me want to be with him more then anything as long as I was away from her.

She helped me sit up giving me a dark purple liquid to drink.

"Here this should give you your strength back." Liking the idea I took and sipped it. It had a bitter taste and a nasty smell. My face scrounged.

"Drink it all or it'll take longer" a familiar voice snapped at me. I looked behind me to see the guy from the room.

"Jorden let her take her time she's still recovering from the shot!" She practically spits the words at him.

He rolled his eyes sighed and continued to watch me drink.

She sat next to me smiling.

"How do you feel darling?" Hearing her speak to me made me wanna run. I felt frightened.

"Im feeling better" I responded weakly.

She snapped her fingers and my body was lifted.

I looked at him, Jordan, he wasn't wearing his shades and I could see his eyes. They were a grayish blue with golden flacks. I never saw anything like it. I was captivated by them. I couldn't look away.

"Your starring!" He growled at me and I snapped back into reality almost falling out of his arms.

The lady laughed.

"Take care of her Jordan. I would like to have her return in one piece." The lady said with a teasing grin.

He walked out the room not responding to her. It left a very uneasy feeling in my chest.
