• "Come on Ashley! We have no time to lose!" my uncle said. I was hurried from my mansion to a helicopter that would take me from my house to my uncle's. As soon as we were in the air I looked down on my precious home. My family was rich and we owned a lot of things. That made it more dangerous for us to live there. Today we had an attack. We were forced to leave our home for our own safety. "What about my family?" I asked with tears in my eyes. "Don't worry" my uncle said patting my shoulder. "Your older brother Ian, and your younger sister Katerina will be staying with us at my mansion." I sighed in relief. I was glad that at least some of my family would be staying with me. Let me tell you a little about myself and my family. My whole family was known for our what some say 'inhuman beauty' even some of my friends think that my family is to beautiful to be real. We all have dark hair and emerald green eyes. My brother Ian, is 18 years old and going to be a senior in highschool. He is more of a strong and silent type and will do anything to protect me and my sister. My sister Katerina is only 6 years old and is the complete opposite of Ian. She is talkative and bright. She always puts a smile on my face and is very precious to me. I am 17 years old and going to be in my second year of highschool. I can be very quiet or be very talkative. I am like both my brother and sister. "We're here" my uncle said interrupting my thoughts. We landed a little way of the house. Once we were in view of the frontyard I saw a tall, lean, handsone figure leaning in the doorway of the front porch. As soon as I realized who it was I picked up my pace and ran to the person. As soon as I reached I threw my arms around the figure. "Ian" I said burying my face in his shoulder. He held my tightly and patted my back. "Don't worry sis, I won't let anything happen to you or Kat. I'll protect you" he whispered in my ear. "I love you" I said. He squeezed me tightly then let me go. "Me too" he said. "Oh and since you're going to be going out a lot I hired a bodyguard to watch you at all times" my uncle said. I froze. When he said bodyguard did he mean like the ones with glasses and black suits? I hoped not. "Scott, come here" my uncle called. From the corner of the house a boy stepped out. He was a few inches taller than I. He had dirty blond hair that was spiked over his eyes with blue tips. His eyes were a yellowish green. His figure was lean like my brother. I stared in awe at the handsome guy. Ian cleared his throat and I snapped out of my daze. "Pleasure to meet you Scott" I said offering a hand. "You too Ashley Mathews" he said taking my hand. I couldn't help notice how firm yet gentle his hand was. Scott held on a little longer than nessacary. Ian's hand tightened around my waist. "We should go" he said glaring at Scott. "Scott your room is right across the hall from Ashley's. That way you can always keep an eye on her" my uncle said. "I intend to" Scott said smiling at me, his eyes locking with mine. My cheeks flooded with heat. Scott laughed. "Let's head inside, it's cold out here"
