It was a hopeless effort Ava couldn't break free of Lucas' grip on her arm. He was heading straight for the door. Ava almost got free but he grabbed her with his other hand and pushed her out the door. Ava was making desperate attempts to grab her sia, but she couldn't get them, Lucas kept grabbing her hands and telling her "No." A long, black, stretch limousine pulled up, Ava knew what was happening, Lucas wasn't planning on killing her, he could have done that by now, he was going to turn her.
"No," Ava screamed "let me go!" The limo door opened and Lucas shoved her inside and slammed the door behind her. Ava was face down on the floor of the limo, it jolt forward. Ava opened her eyes, Lucas didn't get in the limo, but there were a pair of feet in front of her. The feet led to legs, the legs led to hips, the hips led to a torso, the torso led to a neck, and the neck led to a head. It was a man, he had light blond hair and grey eyes. Ava didn't need to be told who this was, she didn't know, but she was sure it was Lothos, who else could it be?
"Hello Ava." He said
"Uh," said Ava "hi…"
Lothos smiled "I am Lothos."
Ava smiled "I know."
"I have heard many things about you."
"All good I hope."
"Most of them."
"Most?"
He nodded "I have only heard one bad thing."
"Care to share?"
"Well, I heard about your vampire friend, Angel."
Ava felt as if someone jerked her heart at the mention of his name "Oh…" she said
"He left you, did he not?"
"He did."
Lothos nodded "I am sorry for what he put you though."
Ava's eyebrows furrowed "What?"
"He broke your heart," Lothos said "to this day it pains you to think about him."
"How do you know that?"
"Your eyes," he said "when I said his name. He hurt you, didn't he?" Tears began to weld up in Ava's eyes she nodded. Lothos slid off his seat to the floor of the limo where Ava still laid. He gathered her up in his arms and sat back down so Ava was sitting on his lap and being cradled in his arms. "Your safe, Ava, I am not going to let anyone hurt you anymore." he said
Ava was mentally debating if she could trust him or not. One part of her said she couldn't because he was the enemy and he would just use her; but the other part took to what he said, she didn't want to be hurt like Angel had hurt her. She couldn't exactly trust him, but she wanted to, god did she want to trust him. He was silently running his had through her long brown hair. Ava looked up at him, and he looked down at her and smiled. His smile was warm and inviting unlike most vampires, also unlike most vampires his touch was warm too. He wiped away a tear on her cheek and kissed her forehead.
"I'll never leave you." he said his voice was just barley a whisper. Angel had told her the same thing. More tears. Ava had never really cried over her loss of him. Ava berried her face in Lothos' shoulder crying, sobbing. Lothos just sat there stroking her head and shushing her in a comforting way. He kept telling her that everything was alright, Ava believed him. She didn't know how long she sat there in his lap crying, but she soon fell asleep in his arms.
