"Oh yes, I wrapped you in that when I found you. Do not fear, I did not look at you while you were naked, I promise" he smiled and then walked over to the closet. "You may take anything that you will feel comfortable in. I do not want your father thinking that I did not look after you. What will you tell him about your absence? Ssurely he will be out of his mind with worry! And who will you tell him I am?" he asked, curious as to how Serenity would explain to her father. Yes, her father loved her very much, but surely there were somethings that he just would not believe... Like why his daughter did not come home from school, and why she stayed out all night, and why she came home in different clothes that did not belong to her with a strange boy that he had never met before.

[[Bed time now. College tomorrow :( Nightt ^_^]]

Luca smiled and nodded. "That is a very good explination my dear. However, I will need to know where the killer tried to take you so that I can tell the same story you do if he asks" Luca chuckled at how fun this was going to be. He had never been into a home other than his own since he was a small boy.

Luca cringed away from the question, but he knew he would have to tell her the answer sometime, so he tried to get it over with. "I killed those other girls because I like to kill. It gives me a rush and a sence of excitement that I rarely get otherwise. Until I met you! I did plan to kill you eventually Serenity, I will never lie to you. But I grew to adore you, and now I would never even think of letting anything harm you. You will be safe with me always" he smiled at her, and choked back the lump that had formed in his throte.

Luca was confused for a moment, and then he realised what she wanted from him. She wanted to know about his family. As he began to think about them, rage filled Luca and he tried his best to hold it all inside so that poor Serenity would never have to see any of it... He had only just promised that nothing woud ever hurt her, and him getting annoyed was not a good way to keep that promise.

"Serenity, I can not talk about my old family. It not only causes me pain, but it makes me intensely mad, and I do not want you to ever see that rage from me" he looked towards the flood and tried to breath deeply "I am sorry, but I do not want to hurt you. And I fear that I will. I know that I will" Luca shuddered at the thought of letting lose on Serenity. The thought alone made tears begin to stream down his face and he turned away from her to hide his new found emotion.

When Serenity kissed him, Luca could not help but smile. Although he was still in pain from the anger that he held within him, she still managed to make him happy again. When Serenity went to the bed and began to sleep again, Luca could not help but notice the curves of her body and the way she looked so beautiful but yet alluring and sexy at the same time. He sighed and sat next to her on the bed.

"Since you are sleeping, my dear Serenity, I can tell you about my former life. My father was a horrible man. He used to abuse my mother in ways you can not even begin to imagine, and he used to make me watch. My poor mother eventually killed herself. She cut her wrists open and let the blood flow all over their bed. It was her way of telling my father that he could never own her, that he could never make her be the kind of slave he wanted her to be. She escaped. Leaving me alone with my father was the most stupid thing she could have ever done, because as soon as she was gone, he started to abuse myself in the ways that she too had been abused. Raping me, violently beating me, and even making me hurt other people to keep myself alive. When I turned seven, I pleaded for my father to throw me a birthday party. It was something my mother had promised me when I was younger, and I desired that one thing more than anything in the world. It was the one thing that kept me going through all of the pain my father could have put me through. When he agreed, I was the happiest child in the world, but when the day of my birthday came, my father told me that nobody had wanted to come to my party because I was a waste of life and nobody wanted to be my friend. I killed him. I dont know how I did, but I was so hurt and lost and confused that I had to escape, but I was not as brave as my mother. I wanted to live. I never got my party, and I have had a burning desire to hurt other people the way that my father hurt me all those years ago. No matter what I do, the feeling never goes away" Luca stopped talking then and placed his hand gently on Serenity's face, brushing hair out of the way. "Sleep my darling. Tomorrow, we shall see your father. I pray he is nicer than my father ever was" he then leant over and kissed Serenity's forehead and left the room, quietly closing the door behind himself.

Luca looked up from what he was doing; mending a chip in his floorboard. "Good morning Serenity, sweetheart. How did you sleep? Is everything okay? You look a little... Scared" he asked, worry suddenly sneaking into his mind. Another bad dream maybe? Surely he would have heard her scream.

Luca frowned then shook his head. "Do not feel sorry for me. I do not want your pity my dear!" he looked at her and then hugged her back. As he did, he ran his hand's through her hair and took in a deep breath. It was so soft. He could fall asleep right there with his arms wrapped around her.

Luca pulled his head up from Serenity's shoulder, and he looked down at her snuggled into his chest and he smiled. He thought about what she said for a long while, and whilst he though, he stroked her hair. When Luca finally decided what he would tell her, she shivered and pulled her face up so that he could look into her eys.

"You want the truth, and I vowed I would never lie to you. Serenity, I do love you. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone in this planet, and maybe even more than that. I did not remember how love felt, because my darling mother died such a long time ago now, but she was only woman I ever truly loved. The only person for that matter. But darling, no matter how much I love you, I understand that I can never ask you to love me. I am a murderer, and a horrorble man, and I kidnapped you away from your dear father and kept you as my own. But remember, through all of the bad things that I have done and the wrong ways that I went about getting you here, it is indeed getting you hear that has changed my life for the better. You have made me a better man Serenity, and even if I only ever keep you as a friend, you will still be the one person who could save me. I will never lie to you, and I will do anything to make you happy my sweet, so anythng you ask of me, I shall do for you" he looked down to the floor and closed his eyes, expecting her to walk out and leave him there on his own.

Looking back up to Serenity, Luca's eyes were twinkling. "Of course I want you to stay with me. There is always a place in this house for you my sweetheart" he smiled and hugged her close. "I will not however, take you away from your father. So you are no longer my prisoner, Serenity. I will come with you to see him, and I would like to ask for his permission for you to live with me. If that is okay with you of course" he smiled at her and kissed her forehead gently.

Tingles shoot through Luca's body when Serenity kisses him. He kisses her back, more intensely, and picks her up and places her on his lap.

Luca feels her push against his chest and pulls her closer to his body so that he can feel the soft contours of her body. He lets out a soft moan from the back of his throte, then tries to stiffle it so that he does not seem too forward with her. He deepens the kiss and begins to pull her body even closer to him; one hand on the small of her back and the other on the back of her neck, her hair tangled in his fingers.

Luca smiled and looked at Serenity. His face flustered and warm, but stricken with confusion. "Are you saying that you want to..." he trails off and knows that Serenity will understand what he means. He loves her so much, and wants to be with her, but he does not want her to feel pressured to do something that she does not want to do yet, or even worse, is not ready for.

Ssmiling, Luca picks Serenity up princess style and carries her up the stairs, kissing her while he goes. "My darling, I want you to be sure about this. You are only young, and we have not known eachother for that long. We can wait my sweet, I promise you will not lose me if we do not have sex right this moment!" he says to her, making sure that this is definately what she wants.
