The Princess And Her Bodyguard

Chapter 1

"Okay. So what's the answer to number five?" Sashi asked her boyfriend. The two lovers were in the Zero residence, doing some homework that was due for Monday. Normally, one would spend their Friday night hanging out with friends, but for our two lovers, they decided to just get homework over with. "It's that Trinculo, Stephano, and Caliban were the ones that stole the clothes. And Caliban was the one to carry them because he is their slave." Penn said. Sashi groaned. "How in the world do you understand Shakespeare?!" She asked. "I was forced to read a lot of it during middle school, so I got used to it." Penn said. "You know, if you weren't here, then I would be clueless." Sashi said. The two chuckled.

Sashi phone then vibrated. She picked it up. "What's up?" Penn asked. "It's my parents, I have to go home." Sashi said, standing up and grabbing her stuff. The redhead also stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Do you really have to go?" He asked with a fake pout. "Penn, you know how my parents are." Sashi said. "Hehe. I know, I know. So, I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked. "Yeah." Sashi said. The redhead walked his girlfriend over to the door. He would've walked her home, but Sashi insisted that she'd be fine. "See ya." Penn said, pecking the girl on the cheek. "See ya." Sashi said and left.

Penn sighed and closed the door. There was something off with Sashi. Lately, Sashi was acting a bit weird. She would sometimes come up with random excuses at school for being late, such as, "Sorry. They were filming a movie in front of my house. Had to take the long way." That was a but odd for the redhead. At that time, there were no movies made in the city. Also, him and Sashi were hanging out less. Penn knew that she was hiding something,  it couldn't get anything out of her. Penn walked upstairs and watched some YouTube. Minutes later, his phone rang. It was Sashi.

"Hey Sash. What's up?" He asked. "Say PZ. I just got home, but I can't find my necklace. Did I leave it there at you room?" Sashi asked. Penn looked around and noticed a sliver necklace with an amethyst gem in the middle laying on the desk of his room. "Yeah. You did. Want me to take it to you?" "You sure?" She asked. "Yeah. I don't mind." He said. "Alright. Just be safe." She said. "Will do." Penn said. Grabbing an old black zipped up hoodie and putting it on, Penn bid goodbye to his parents and left.

A few minutes later, the redhead arrived at the apartment building and entered. He took the elevator and went to the fifth floor. The elevator reached the floor and Penn exited the elevator only to see 3 old, muscular men with black ski masks and black clothing, standing in front of Sashi's door. Penn, thinking quickly, hid himself but in a place where he could hear them. "Okay. I'll go over the plan one last time. Adam, you and Hercules will stay here and keep an eye out. I'll go in, and grab the girl. Then, we all go out of here. Understood?" The least strong looking one said. The other two nodded. The guy opened the door.

Penn raised an eyebrow. First, who names their kid Hercules? But he shrugged it off and assumed that it was just a nickname. But then, they mentioned getting a girl. His girl. In other words, these three men were going to kidnap Sashi, and she doesn't know at all. And while he was slightly confused as to why these guys wanted Sashi, Penn was sure of one thing: if they wanted his girlfriend, then they're going to have to fight him for her. But how? The two men that were outside looked like they could basically break him in half. But he had no choice if he wanted to save Sashi. He was going to fight these two.

Placing the necklace in his jacket pocket, Penn got out of his hiding spot. The two men were not looking at his direction, so Penn was clear for now. He walked over so they wouldn't suspect anything. The two men spotted the redhead, who looked straight on. "Hey kid, nothing to see here." One of the men said. "Bull." Penn muttered before side tackling one of them to the ground. He proceeded to punch the guy over and over again.

Penn was then pulled off and gut a punch on the cheek. But that didn't take the redhead teen out. "Thanks Adam." The guy Penn tackled said. The guy that pulled him off, Adam, then put the boy in a chokehold. Penn responded by biting Adam's arm as rough as he could. Adam yelled and let go of the boy. Penn noticed the other guy, Hercules, began running to him. Penn ducked out of the way, causing the two men to crash into each other. Penn snickered. He was about to go inside Sashi's apartment, but Hercules grabbed his foot, tripping him.
