Months later …
Urgh. Now I get why the mortal life sucks so bad. I'm having this horrible headache with flu. Luckily I cleared the shelves at the nearest pharmacy of tissue boxes and a couple of flu medicine and painkillers. She prayed for the illness to go away soon. But for now all she needed was just those medicine.
"Ahhhhhh, let go of me you stupid big chunk of metal !" She heard screams from the alley she was just passing by.
She saw a helpless girl being bullied and it seems as if she's about to be robbed.
"Hey! Let her go! I'm gonna..." Ashley yelled.
"What? You're gonna what huh little missy?" He yelled back.
He let go of the girl and as she scrambled off without looking back.
"I'm gonna fight with you.. Yeah, I'm not afraid and I know… Karate!" She assumed that it'll scare him off.
Oh Ash , why are you saying that? Now you've pissed him off. You fool. God knows what he's gonna do to me now. She seem frustrated.
"Oh you and one army.." He mocked.
He grabbed her and pushed her against the brick wall.
"Hmm , you're kinda good looking.. How about we have some fun huh? Then I'll let you off? How about that?" He smirked.
"Yeah.. I don't think so!" She kneed him in the groin leading her being thrown straight towards the ground.
"Ouch! My nails!" She complained.
She tried making a run for it. Uh oh. Too late.
He grabbed her ankle pulling her back. She struggles to get away from him apparently she was able to get away but.. Her heel broke causing her to twist her ankle.
Crap , of all time.. That's it. I'm so gonna invest in a good pair sneakers.
"Wow. A grown man getting all rough with a lady here? Real mature." A voice emerged.
"Now what!" The man sounded annoyed.
"Men like you disgusts me.. Yuck." The voice mocked.
Wow, at least someone's in this town's standing up for me. What a gentleman. His eyes are blue. Ocean blue. There's this charm. Woah.
After getting lost in his charm she realized the man wasn't attacking her anymore..
"Thanks" She said.
"Are you alright?" The voice asked.
Suddenly the man stood up again launching himself towards Ashley.
The voice just threw a punch at the man and he was then unconscious.
"Your ankle's broken.." He said.
"How do you know?" Ashley said.
"It's swollen." He replied.
"Oh." She manages.
"This is gonna hurt for a second and it's all gonna be alright." He comforted.
"Okay." She felt relieved.
With a couple of minutes and a little of twisting and massages, her ankle was healed. She was engrossed while looking at him attempting to heal her ankle.. He was just so handsome… Like movie star handsome.. It seems as if she's smitten.
"Woah.. How did you do that?" She felt better now.
"It feels good huh?" He said.
She got up on her feet walking a few paces. It was good like completely normal and perfect now.
"Thank you so much." She thanked him.
"You're welcome." He smiled.
"Hey, how are you even able to throw a punch that made him land all the way near the stairwell? Who are you? Superman?" She asked curiously.
"No Ashley , I'm not Superman.. I could.. If you wanted me to?" He replied.
A lump formed.. "Ho..w. How did you know my name?" She was petrified now.
He took a cigarette and lighter from his leather jacket's pocket and lit up the cigarette.
"I know everything about you.. Sorry it took me so long , I've had something on before that. Ha-ha." He said.
Her hands were trembling.. She tried holding her hands together to stop it from shaking but it wasn't helping.. At all. It was she realized that he was a tempter demon.
God ! Can my life get any worse from this? First I has to deal with my illness. Then a mugger.. Now him? What more now?
He continue smoking a cigarette waiting for a reply from her. But it seems as if her voice went.. La La Land..
Just one more day. I was gonna settle everything and leave this place once and for all. He was sure handsome. Well not handsome.. More of gorgeous with a sexy voice.
"Take it back." She said.
"Take what back?" He asked.
"Take back what you did to my ankle." She answered.
"What? I don't understand you." He said.
"I know what you are , take it back. I don't want to owe you anything. Take it even if it means by breaking it again." She said coldly.
He took a last drag of the cigarette and flicked it against the wall and took a step closer to her. She took a step back.
"What I did for you was a favor. It wasn't anything much. Plus, I'm not expecting anything in return.." He said.
"Uh huh.." She answered.
"My name's Zachary. But you can call me Zac." He smiled.
"I'm happy for you , now leave me alone." She snapped.
He flipped open his open and looked at it.
"Hmm it says that your last name is Tisdale. Ashley Tisdale.. What a pretty name you have." He said.
"Gonna leave now , don't try and stop me." She said.
He frowned.. Creasing his handsome face.. "But we have so much things to talk about."
"No we don't. We have nothing to talk about." She tried walking away.
He stepped in front of her.
"Of course we do. You don't belong here right." He said.
"I don't.. That's why I'm going back." She said.
"Back? To Heaven you mean?" He smirked.
Is he mocking me? That ..
"This is all a mistake. I'm gonna fix it tomorrow and you might as well stop wasting time on me." She said.
"Oh really? You're going back?" His smirk forms into a grin.
"Positive. I didn't do anything wrong." She egoisticly said.
"If you haven't , they you don't have to be afraid of me."He said.
"I'm not afraid of you." She stepped back again.
"In fact, I can make things so much better.. Just listen to me to what I have to offer and you might just not need to stay on this.. Wasteland." He said.
"What part of 'I am going back to Heaven' you don't understand?" She sounded pretty much annoyed.
"I could you beauty and life for eternity." He sounded confident.
She couldn't stop looking into his eyes.
Look away , push him away right now. She gave in.. She look into his eyes realizing that his eyes turned to grayish-blue now.
"Just say the word Ashley and I can take you away from all of this." He said.
"Say it.. and I'll make your troubles disappear.." He tempted.
She slowly nodded.. Then she had this overwhelming feeling deep inside of her…
Deep within her , it's rising.. Oh no. She thought.
It came out. She sneezed into his face.
