Chapter One: Prologue
She stood on the metro, waiting for her stop at Solferino. It was a Thursday night, or maybe Friday morning she wasn't sure, in the middle of June, and there really weren't that many people on the train besides her.
She glanced down at her, it was 12:57 am, and she was still five stops away from her destination. She silently swore she hadn't realized she had been out that late, but her parents had already checked in with her that night so she had no reason to worry about them.
The overhead speaker crackled to life and announced the name of the next stop in muffled French. She sighed and thought to herself only four more stops left. There was lurch as the train began to move again towards her destination. Another two stops were called out, and a few people exited the train each time. She was too lost in her thoughts and plans for tomorrow to notice a person walk up behind her and grab her bag. She gave a startled cry and turned to face her assailant, he was taller than her but only slightly and he might have been good-looking in a quirky way if he wasn't trying to steal her purse.
"Help! Help!" She began to scream first in French and then in English as she lunged at the stranger. Her vision became blurry as her rage set in. Neither noticed when a boy with startling green eyes heard the commotion from the other side of the train came to help. He walked with a purpose towards them and began formulating a plan. The train doors were going to close in a matter of seconds, so he acted quickly; he grabbed the man and pulled the small bag from his hands. The man was trying to fight back, but he was quickly restrained as the boy got the attention of a set of police officers roaming the metro station.
The officers thanked him for what he did, and the boy hurried back onto the metro before it left the station. He saw the girl slumped on a seat now and she had glittering tears streaming down her face. She seemed to be very broken up over a bag the boy thought to himself. When the name of the next stop was announced the boy was jolted from his reverie and cleared his throat to get the girl's attention.
"I believe this belongs to you" he offered shyly while holding out the bag.
"Who are you?" she asked in English not even bothering with French.
He looked down as she reached for the bag and saw a flash of silver and red, it was a medical alert bracelet.
"My name is Sebastian." He said.
"Thank you Sebastian, you don't know how many people would have ignored that." she told him.
"I feel that I am at a disadvantage here as you know my name but I don't know the name of the beautiful damsel I rescued," he teased
"You're a cheeky one aren't you? But I suppose you should be allowed to know the name of the beautiful maiden you rescued from a purse-snatcher. It's Alexandra." she replied with a mock curtsey.
"Well my fair lady, would you be so kind as to agree to getting off at the next stop and taking a stroll with me along the Seine?" Sebastian bowed after asking.
She nodded her head with a giggle and let the boy with the too green eyes take her away from the rest of the world even if just for a minute.
