Growing up my mother used to read to me every night before bed, rain or shine, sickness or health she was there to read me a bedtime story. She inspired my love for books, and as I got older and could read them myself, I couldn't get my hands on enough of them.

My favourite stories were always the ones full of fantasy and magic, the ones that had a happy ending with the prince and a damsel in distress living happily ever after. Everything was so simple in these books, there was black and white , there was right and there was wrong . If only life would have stayed so simple...that simple.

My name is Anastasia Grace . Im twenty-two years old and Im a student in med school with an unusual habit of spending every free second in the library . I have long , wavy red hair that are frankly a pain in my ass and always manage to somehow look messy , a trait I sadly inherited from my dad. My eyes are light brown in colour, my skin an 'do-you-ever-go-outside' ivory . I am a very intimidating five foot five in height, with a slender but curvaceous form and I have been an orphan since I was ten years old.

My parents died in a horrific car accident, one that involved our car flying off the bridge into the water below . In a last minute attempt , my dad had managed to push me out of the car before plummeting to their deaths below. My survival was called a miracle and my life was supposedly a gift of God . Or so the doctors said . But I hadn't come out of the wreck in perfect condition . My right hip had a huge gash on it that ended up being a scar . Not too ugly ,but a constant reminder of the worst day of my life .

I spent the rest of my childhood and adolescent years living with my grandparents .. though they both passed away shortly after I turned seventeen, and then it was just me, med school , and books . I was undoubtedly penniless after their death but merit scholarships had luckily come to my rescue . I became a librarian to support myself and hence my hobby of reading continued . in my mother's honour , my taste in books never really varied .. They were filled with handsome heroes , and epic adventures. My mother used to assure me when I was little , when I would 'ooh' and 'aah' over the grand love stories, that I would eventually be swept off my feet and fall madly and dangerously in love .

She however failed to mention that said man would be a kidnapping , manhandling . super powerful alien god with daddy issues , and a horny helmet . She must have wanted that part to be a surprise ...
