Chapter 12 - guardian's luck

Clara was about to rest after cleaning the entire house. She has been at it since she arrived the day before.

As she made her way to her room, she heard a loud thud at the door.

'Was that even a knock? who could it be at this hour of the night.' she thought.

As she made her way closer to the door, she started feeling like something was struggling to come loose inside her.

"It's him." she muttered before opening the door.

The moment she opened the door, Leo entire body came crashing on her,

"Help.... me...." was the only words that came out of his mouth before losing consciousness.

If it were normal human lady, Leo weight might have affected her which might result in the both of them falling to the ground. But in Clara's case, she held Leo in his embrace and closed her eyes in pleasure as her power that was struggling a moment ago started letting loose.

her hair flew up and her eyes turned white, before regaining it's normal colour.

She couldn't awaken them fully, but she could achieve half of them as soon as  they make physical contact.

That was the reason why her mother was able to summoned and fight Gregory. Even though she didn't get to seal the bond, she was still able to make physical contact with her other piece.

This half unleashed power cost Gregory most of his demons. That's the reason why he tried to hunt them down before making the bond and look for trump cards in case they managed to. It's obvious how frightening the full power is.

She held him still, in her arms, embracing the power and couldn't help but smiled.

She was actually planning on how she will begin her research on the man and find ways to get close to him. Even though she knew it will not be easy; she has no choice and it's giving her a headache. 

Those thoughts filled her mind as she was cleaning the house, and now the man delivered himself to her without any effort.

What she did not know was that Leo's condition is not good presently. He survived all these while, thanks to the guardian's luck on him. Now that they've met; Clara now has her luck back.

The guardian's luck is more like a supernatural power to their other piece. It kept them alive till they meet in case someone makes an attempt on their life. Even if they were pushed down from a high storey building, they will survive. Doctors will see it as a miracle but it's more than that. 

After the guardian's luck is gone; it's left for the guardians to protect their other piece, because a small attack has a high possibility of claiming their life. All the more reason why their other piece is considered their greatest weakness. While struggling to deal with Gregory they still must make sure their other piece is safe.

Clara helped Leo to her bed and was able to see the man's face clearly. She couldn't help but widened her eyes in shock. If not for the fact that her power identify him for her immediately, she will have a hard time believing that the man in front of her right now is the same stunning boss whom she saw a week ago. 

Before she could digest her thoughts, Leo started shivering, whitish foam appearing on both corners of his mouth and his temperature rising, making his entire being hot.

Clara got scared and stared at him with worry. The worst part is that, even though she possessed the power to ease and possibly erase someone's pain, her power won't work on this man suffering in front of her.

Now she has to rely on her normal human technique to save this man.

Getting into action, she quickly prepared a bowl of cold water. Dipping a towel inside the water, she started touching it to his skin. After two to three hours; the hotness subsidies and Leo fell asleep. 

Clara breath a sigh of relief. After tidying up the entire place, she watched him for  some time, and after confirming that his finally ok; she stood up and walked to the other bed in the room, which belonged to Sonya.

The two love being together. So even though there are lots of extra rooms in the house, they still decide to share the same room. 

Just as Clara closed her eyes and wanted to sleep; Leo entire body began shivering again. She quickly went to his side and felt his temperature. This time around, she was even more shocked and scared than the first time, as Leo's entire body was as cold as ice.

"Just what the hell is going on?" she asked out loud and immediately went into action once again. Thanks to her power, she only concentrated her palm on the water surface and within the next second the water started boiling hot.

She began touching his exposed body with the warm towel, but as soon as Leo body stabilized a bit, within the next two minute his condition will worsen.

After repeating the process four times without any positive results, she decided to use her last option. 

Without wasting time, she began to undress.
