New Character: Luciana
Ares's POV
I've never felt this way before in my life. Is it possible Kiya is softening me up?
Part of me doesn't even care. I'm fine with leaving this life behind me but another part of me knows that I have to stay strong and dangerous if I want to protect her.
Bringing her into my life means that I'm bringing a new way for people to get at me. Kiya is effectively a new weak point, and if my enemies find out about her, they'll come at her.
I'll do anything and everything to protect her.
Just the thought of that instantly gets my blood flowing and my adrenaline coursing.
I sigh rubbing my hand over my face.
"Are you okay?" Kiya asks
"Yeah I'm good" I said
We're on a train to Sacramento, it was Kiya's idea to go on a train. I wanted to drive but she said she always takes the train.
Kiya lays her head on my shoulder.
"You're tired?" I ask
She nods cuddling up against my chest.
"Remember when I told you I'll never hurt you right?" I ask
"Yeah..." she said
"I need you to make a deal with me" I said
"Okay" she looks up at me
"The deal is that we'll never hurt each other and if we do somehow, one day we'll find our way back to each other" I said
"Deal" she didn't hesitate yawning.
"Go to sleep my sleeping beauty" I whispered low enough that she could hear.
After 7 hours on the train we finally arrived at the train station. We took a Uber to Kiya's grandparents house. The neighborhood was sketchy and rundown definitely the bad side of the city.
When we got the Kiya's grandma answered the door.
"Hi baby I wasn't expecting you" she pulls Kiya into a hug
Then she turns to me "Who is this young man he is cute"
I smile winking at her.
"Oh stop it you're making my old self blush" she pulls us into the house.
I scan the house as she leads us to the kitchen it definitely looked and smelled like a grandparents house. Old antiques everywhere.
"Did you eat gram?" Kiya asks
"No- I was just about to fix me and your pa some tv dinners" she said
I pulled Kiya to the side.
"What?" She asks
"They're not eating TV dinners I can buy them whatever they want" I said
"Gram isn't going to let you she's use to eating them" she said
"Well she's just got to have to get unused to it cause they're not eating that" I said
"Ares they are old they like simple stuff" she said
"I'll get them pizza then" I said
"Ares... no" she said
"Ki...I'm not letting them eat that soggy microwavable food. Just let me feed them something they'll enjoy" I touched her chin
