(AKA Lucy)
Jaxon for once looked vulnerable: his teared up eyes stared into oblivion as he seemed to be in deep thought. Looking at him like that made my heart ached. My hands were wrapped around him while his head were against my upper arm.
"2 years ago, I was just a helpless pup walking its way through life. I had no home, no parents, nothing... All I could do was begging. I begged to everyone who I was always crossed my path. But that was still not enough, because the world was becoming more and more expensive. And if you didn't have the wealth, you're treated as a walking piece of shit. Well then, that was what happened one day.
I was doing my daily routine when suddenly I was kidnapped. When I woke up I saw nothing but merciless faces who lavishly abused me. At first I tried running away and ask for help. But I would always return to the same horrible dungeon. And the treatment would always be worst than before. So I gave up and became tired to the point that I was beginning to be immune to their torture."
While saying so I could see the hurt which was clearly visible on his face. His tears began sliding down his now pink cheeks. This boy right in front of me had a quite similar past to mine. No! Maybe worst...
"My daily life seemed to be engulfed by despair until one day, brother showed up. I still remember as he reached his hand out for me with a small smile plastered on his face while saying, "No need for you to be sad, little one. Let's go home."
Up until now all the rumours about HIM being a selfish arrogant monster born to kill didn't made sense compared to what Jaxon just told me. All I was seeing was the total opposite of whatever I've heard. Honestly I was both happy and relieved.
The little boy next to me wiped his tears and proudly stood up. "Brother taught me that one should never cry when things don't turn out as expected. Instead we should be looking for ways to make it the way we want."
I blinked, out of shock as I heard such matured words coming from a 7 year old kid. I smiled at the thought of Alexander being a good father. Jesus! I didn't know what was wrong with me nowadays.
My hearts would always beat fast whenever Alexander was around and I would always blush whenever we made eyes contacts. I thought I was allergic to him. Somehow...

After our interesting interaction in the music room, I became a closer to Jaxon. I saw him more as a little cutie pie rather than a hot blooded little devil. He proposed me to listen to his masterpiece.
Let me tell you, he was a genius; the way his little fingers elegantly pressed the piano tiles made me wonder about the ways he would kill the ladies' heart in the future, just like HIM...
"Alright Jaxon let's go. It's almost lunch time."
I leaned my hand to him so that he could grab it. But let's just say I was expecting too much from him. "I can manage without holding hands. I'm not little anymore."
"Sure thing, you're not." I rolled my eyes. "You're still shorter and younger than me which makes you little."
"Heyyy!!!" He launched at me. I swiftly dodged it and made a run for it.
"Why don't you catch me, LITTLE BOY!" I teased.
I made my way downstairs and looked up. He was not there. Huh? Did he gave up? I didn't think so as he was not the type to back down...
No matter what happen I was not going in the death trap.
So my feet made their way into the dinning room and as sson as I entered my eyes went directly on the pieces of papers lying on the table.
It must be the Jaxon's drawings. "Should I take a look?" I asked myself. "No! If I do, Jaxon will be angry."
Who cared, I would just tell him that they were lying on the floor and I went to pick them up.
Ha! I'm a genius...
Looking at his perfectly made paintings, I couldn't quite make out if Jaxon was 7yrs old. This freaking kid made an abstract paintings which left me both mesmerised and confused.
These piece of works must be hiding some kind of secret and I was determined to find out. Just when I was about to place them back on their previous place, someone jumped on my shoulder making me let out a shriek.
"I caught you! Now I order you to give me a piggy back."
"Alright your majesty. Jump on. Its time for Miss Piggy back to depart." I played along. Jaxon reminded me so much of my big brother who used to give me a piggy back ride.
I just wished he was with me right then.
"So where do you want to go your highness?"
"Let's go into the woods. I want to show you my wolf," He grinned widely showing his perfect set of teeth.
I was suprised for a moment. I actually forgot that I was living in a mansion full of werewolves. Couldn't blame me though; they looked just like us. Except that they got those perfect structures.
"Let's go!" He was actually enjoying himself. And I was glad to see him happy. Whoever abandoned this angel must have been blind.
"Lead the way. I don't even kno the way to the main door." I giggled nervously.
After some rights and lefts we made our way to the main gate. I dropped Jaxon on the ground.
"God!!! You're a little too heavy for a 7 years old kid." He gasped.
"Are you telling me that I'm fat," he pouted adorably. There he was; killing me with his cuteness.
"Anyway, are you sure you know the way into the wood. We are not getting loss, are we?"
"Chill woman. I know this wood like the back of my palm. To make you feel better there are security cameras everywhere. So don't worry. Even if we get loss, they would find us."
"I'm confused. Am I suppose to believe a little satan like you? You're probably just gonna leave me all by myself in there."
Our never ending conversation went to a stop when we heard cries coming from behind a tree. Jaxon let out a growl but then I heard some bones craking and silence. I guessed that he or she was putting some clothes. Finally a little girl around Jaxon's age showed up.
Jaxon's face soften at the sight of her. He was actually blushing. "Aww, I think someone got a crush." I smirked.
"What's your name sweetheart? Don't be afraid. We'll help you."
I tried my best to persuade her that we were not a threat. On seeing her horrified face I assumed that she had been through a big trauma.
Even though I don't know why, for some reason something didn't feel quite right about that girl...
