Fearless: Fated to be a Legend

Jessica roamed round a forest with a boy and a girl she didn't know, they walked past trees and heard a gun shot, looking ahead they saw a man pointing a gun at them, carrying a corpse, he ordered them to kneel and they did. He pointed the gun at the girl and shot her head, Jessica and the boy screamed, he shot the boy and Jessica could feel her death coming closer, she took to her heels and run but the man was chasing after her was left in a dead end where she was standing on a feeble stone, where any little movement will lead her to fall.

She moved a little and the man aim at her, she had no choice than to move back, she did and she fell.

Jessica jerked up from bed, "it was all a dream" she reassured herself and sat upright, "With every day, in every way am getting better" she paused. "What a load of crap" she hissed and stood up to get her morning routine done.

She washed up, pit on a hoodie and a face mask, opened her 8 locks and went out to visit her therapist.

"Look who finally remembered me" aunt Rita, her therapist spoke as she approached the door, "I never forgot you, aunt Rita, it just hard to get out of home" she spoke a bit irritated. "I know how you feel dear, trust me, I do" Aunt Rita spoke back. "You do, it hard to tell, after all you don't dream about been chased and killed in dreams" she talked back. "Jessica, am..." She tried to calm her down but Jessica interrupted, "am tired of living like this aunt Rita, you said you would fix me for the past 10 years, still nothing, am beginning to wonder if you know what you're doing" she covered her mouth after the last sentence, "am sorry aunt, I didn't mean that" she apologized.

"Look, I get it Jess, you're frustrated, but I've done the best I can, now it up to you, you have to fight your fears yourself " Rita lectured while Jess rolled her eyes. "Motivational speeches don't work on me aunt, you know that" she replied nonchalantly. "I know Jess, just checking, anyways, I think you have to associate yourself with people, you won't get any where hiding in your room", "I know that aunt but it hard, it not like I can just walk up to some one and say, be my friend" she blabbed. "Jess, seriously, you have to work on your talking and FYI I was talking about a boyfriend not friend" aunt Rita told her and she coughed. "Yeah right, I can't even make a friend and you're talking of a boyfriend" she scoffed. "You talk too much, I was just proposing a date, I have the right partner for you, what do you say" Rita asked. "I don't know aunt, what if I say the wrong thing, or disgrace myself or worst..." Aunt Rita didn't let her finish. "Relax Jess, nothing will go wrong, I know it" aunt Rita reassured her. "Ok, I'll do it" Jess concluded and aunt Rita nodded smiling. "I'll send you every detail you need to know about him, just look good while going, am sure he will love you" aunt Rita said and Jess nodded. She sat back on the cushion thinking how she became this messed up.

8 Years Ago

10 year old Jess ran through the hall ways happily, "Finally it my birth day" she was thrilled about her birthday party. "Calm down Jess, you're turning 10 today, you should start acting matured" Asami her older sister preached. "Come on girls, time to hit the road" her dad called from outside and she jumped, "finally" she breath. "let's take a photo first" her mom said looking at her and she sighed. "Mom, we'll be late".

In the car, Jessica was so excited she kept flagging a balloon in the shape of 10. "Am going to be 10 today" she was making sure everyone saw the balloon.

"Dad, look" she was flagging it in front of her dad, who was driving. "It pretty honey, now put it down" her mom was the one to answer her but she shook her head. "am just going to show dad" she flagged it in his front again making him miss the truck ahead of them, the truck driver in the other hand was text driving, leaving the two vehicles to crash into one another. "Mom, dad, am scared" Jess cried while her mom hugged her. "You're safe with me honey" she hugged Asami also. Their dad used an iron to break the wind shield and they threw Jess out if the car, the car started burning and they quickly threw Asami out of it. But before they could come out the engine exploded with them inside. "Mom, dad!!!" Jess and Asami cried. Asami covered Jess eyes. "Don't look Jess, it okay" she said but didn't sound reassuring. "Mom, dad, don't leave me" she cried more.

Minutes later a stranger approached them. "Come with me, I can help you" he said and Asami turned to him. "Save my parents please " she begged. "Your parents are dead, let's go request for an ambulance " he said and Asami took his hand. "Come on Jess, let's go". "Am not leaving mom and dad" she shook her head, the man carried Asami like a bag of rice, "where are you going, my sister is still there" she was kicking and struggling but it was of no use."i don't need your sister" he said and walked out meanwhile Jess turned back only to notice that her sister was gone also. "Asami, Asami" she yelled crying again but it was useless, Asami was gone also just like her parent.

"Jessica" aunt Rita yelled and Jessica shook her head. "What were you thinking" she asked concern filled her face. Jessica touched her cheeks and noticed tears. "Nothing" she lied. "You were thinking of the day of the accident, weren't you" she stood up to hug her. "We'll find Asami soon" she said and Jessica nodded. She knew they were never going to find her after all they've been searching for ten years, it seems like Asami was dead. "It okay Jess, now go home and prepare for tomorrow okay" Aunt Rita tried to get her mind off the accident. "Okay" Jess replied putting on her mask heading for the door.

I sat in front of my mirror breathing in and out. "it okay Jess, he's going to love you, I know it" she paused. "Okay, he may not but if he doesn't he's a load of crap, remember that" she ended nodding her head, she walked towards her car stopping in front of her door she paused to open her 8 locks.

Redmine's Restaurant

Jessica Cruz walked the hall of Redmine's Restaurant, her red long fitted gown complimenting her skin and blue sea eyes, she walked straight to the reserved area and immediately a waiter walked towards her. "Madam, are you here on a reservation" she asked and Jess nodded. "Am here for Damien Quinn" she said and the waiter nodded. "Come with me, madam" he led her to a reserved area, "here madam" he led her in and left her there. She walked in shaking a bit, "Hi, you're Damien Quinn right" she tried tried to get him off his phone and it worked, he dropped his phone and looked up. "Right, Jessica Cruz right" he said to her and she froze at him, lost in his brown eyes which complemented his reddish hair, she stood fixed her heart beating.

He didn't bother to give her a seat, but she didn't care, she was really lost in his handsomeness.

"Are you going to order" the waiter came in asking as he put two cups of milk on their table, she was about to answer but Damien interrupted. "No, you can come back later" he said and the waiter bowed leaving. "You're not going to order" Jess asked. "No, I want to make this quick" he said and Jess looked at him puzzled. "What's that supposed to mean" she cocked her head and Damien smirked. "Am sure my grandpa told you I was rich, that's why you came right?" He didn't even let her reply. "I pay you double, name your price" he said and she was shocked. "Am sorry, what do you take me for" she asked and he crossed his leg. "Am not used to lying Jessica, I know you're a gold digger, but am not gonna complain, name your price, I'll give it to you, you just have to ake sure I never see you again" he was speaking with authority which made Jess pissed. "how can he say such trash with so much authority" she said in her mind, she waited for him to apologize but he didn't, she was getting more than pissed. "You think am a gold digger?" She asked but he shook his head, "I know you're a gold digger" he replied her and that got her mad, she reached for the milk on the table and poured it on his perfect styled hair, "I don't need your money, but am going to make sure I relate to your grandpa, I wonder how he successfully trained a lunatic" she said and stood up to leave but paused, "also I pray never to cross path with you again" she stood up finally and bounced out. "What a lunatic" she hissed. Meanwhile, Damien grabbed a napkin and dabbed his hair, he smiled recalling that Jessica had called him a lunatic without missing a beat, his smiled widen as he heard her ask herself from afar off, "I wonder how he turned out like this"

10 years ago

10 year old Damien sat in from of his mom having breakfast, "mom, what's this" he was shocked as it tasted like a new recipe. " It human blood" she said like it didn't matter, but Damien paused. "mom!!, I told you not to give me that" he complained as he hated the thought of killing a human just so he could feed. "You're 10 now Damien, you should be out there hunting humans, not pitying them, their lowly creatures who can't even..." She couldn't complete her sentence as she started coughing which was weird for vampires. "Mom, are you okay" Damien ran to her side only to notice that her eyes had changed from red to scarlet and at that moment he knew her heart had been corrupted. "Dami, you have to kill me" she voiced but Damien shook his head. "I can't kill mom, and even if I can, I won't kill you" he was determined. "There has to be another way" he asked but she shook her head, "there's no other way Dami, if you don't kill me, I'll become corrupted and kill you, I don't want to kill you, so please Dami, do it..." She said followed by a loud scream. "Dami, do it" she said weakly as her eyes turn scarlet completely. She stood up looking at Dami who she no longer saw as her son, she hit him hard on the floor and he quickly teleported to her room, a special power he had as a result of being the descendant of an ancient vampire. He entered her room and reached for her silver bullet gun, the only weapon that can kill a corrupted vampire, just then she walked through the door, Dami stared at his mom one last time and shot her before she could get close to him, as her body fell, he quickly went beside her body, "mom!!!" He was so furious he walked into the kitchen. "Who served mom breakfast" he asked the human servants and they quickly pointed out the fragile girl, he went close to her, "you gave my mom poison" he was too angry to even hear what she got to say, he grabbed her by the neck, even if he was a ten year old, he was strong and was able to lift her up. "You dare kill my mom" he yelled.

"Young master Quinn" Damien was awakened by the waiter giving him the bill. He collected it, shook his head and smiled. "I finally got to smile" he couldn't remember the last time he smiled but his smile was replaced quickly by a smirk.

Jessica matched down to Rita's place, she fling the door open and Rita was shocked, looking up she couldn't help but admire her, "Gracious goodness, is that Jess, oh my God you look shunning" she poured praises on her but none of them touched her. "Apparently your blind date partner didn't think so" she bounced hard on the chair. "So am guessing things didn't go well" aunt Rita asked. "No really, thing went well" she was being ironic and Rita could tell. "What happened dear" she asked concern written all over her face. "He called me a gold digger" she yelled.

"What, Damien called you a gold digger, I definitely told him to treat you with respect, he's going to hear an earful from me" Rita was blabbing. "It's already aunt, I made sure to get my revenge" she smiled recalling how she poured milk on him. "You did?" Rita was freaking out in her mind. "What did you do" she asked praying it was not something that would piss Damien. "I poured milk on his hair, you should have seen it, he looked like a clown" she laughed. "Wait you did what, Damien Quinn is from a prestigious family, how could you embarrass him in public" Rita heart was already beating fast, because she knew Damien, he hate being embarrassed and was alway sure to have revenge, suddenly she got a call distracting her thoughts, she checked the name and her heart spiked, it was Master Quinn, Damien's grandpa. She cleared her throat and picked the call. "Hey Rita, you're a genius, how did you pick that girl, she must be special for Damien to ask for more details about her" Master Quinn said in a go and Rita was shocked. "Damien is not upset, he asked for more details about her" she asked, "yeah am telling you, I think his interested in her, good job Rita" Master Quinn ended the call leaving Rita confused. "is everything alright" Jess asked and Rita could nit reply, she only shrugged. "Oh, ok, i need to leave noe aunt, I have a lot of thinking to do" Jess said as she stood up. "Wait, actually, I have another idea for you" she said and Jess rolled her eyes. "Does it involve me going on a date with another lunatic" she asked. "No Jess, and Damien is not a lunatic, he's been through tough time, but that's not it, what am talking about is a job" she said, "a job, I don't need to work aunt, my parents left me a hell of inheritance" she bluffed. "Jess am talking about meeting new people, not making money, just imagine, managing your dad's hotel, you would definitely make a lot of friends, rich ones for that matter" Rita explained and Jess nod. "I did major in Fin&Man so maybe I can manage my dad's hotel" Jess replied. "Right?, it a good thing Silver Hotel is in need of a CEO, I'll do all I can to get you that position" Rita said and Jess smiled, "Thanks aunt Rita, that's why I love you", "you don't have to thank me Jess, it my joy to see smile" she answered.

Meanwhile Damien

Damien entered his home to find his grandpa at the door. "Grandpa?, What are you doing at the door" he was surprised. "So tell me Damien, I heard you were asking for more detail of your blind date" his grandpa ignored his question. "Grandpa, did you set someone up to watch me?" He asked and his grandpa smiled. "What, I just wanted to give you a big news" he kept smiling, "it better be big grandpa" he said and master Quinn nodded. "Well I got a report that your blind date is planning to become the CEO of Silver Hotel" he said and Damien smiled. "See I knew this news could be helpful" he said proudly, just then Damien's smile turned to a frown. "Grandpa don't put her on watch, I can handle her myself" he said and Master Quinn shaked his head. "some times I wonder if you're my grandson" he hissed, "grandpa, you gave birth to my mother, so yes am your grandson" Damien was trying to piss him.

*************

Jessica sat in her bed trying to study for the upcoming interview, aunt Rita had promise to speak with the board of directors but she felt it was up to her to convince the board of directors, her thoughts was distracted by an unknown phone call which she answered. "Hi, who am I speaking with" she asked and the caller replied, "you forgot me so soon" he said from the other line, she didn't need to know his name anymore, she could tell from the voice, it was a lunatic, "Damien Quinn" she called out and he smiled on the other end, his name in her lips sounded pure. "Jessica Cruz" he returned the favour and she frowned, "what do you want from me, Mr prestigious family" she asked and he shrugged, "nothing, just your time" he said and her frown deepened, "what's that supposed to mean" she asked. "Go on another date with me Jessica" he said and she scoffed, "in your dreams, mister" she mocked and quickly cut the call. "That guy is really a lunatic" she thought then got another call, checking it was still from Damien, "this guy purpose on earth must to be annoy me" she breath and picked the call. "Seriously, what's your problem with me" she yelled. "Just wanted to let you know, you never gave me an answer and silence means yes to me" he said and Jess frowned. "Goodbye, I'll send the address to you" he cut the call, and she turned, "that guy is really a lunatic" she said said to herself, just then her phone beeped, it was the address for their next date, she looked at it closely and wondered if she was gonna go, but she just shrugged and continued studying after all the interview was the next day.
