Chapter 10: Personal Assistant
Asher's POV
Monday morning came much too slowly for Asher. Filled with anxiety and excitement he had spent the night tossing and turning. It was only when the sun began to rise that he gave up on sleep altogether and went for a run before showering and getting ready for the day.
Unable to sit still for long he headed to work much earlier than usual, shocking the overnight guard, who looked about ready to fall over from exhaustion with his sudden appearance.
Taking a mental note to speak with the man's supervisor later in regards to his lax disposition, Asher headed into the building.
As Asher now paced in his office like a caged animal he anxiously waited for Michael and Summer's arrival to sign their finalized cooporation agreement.
Initially he had been thrilled to see Summer, but as the time grew closer that excitement turned sour as he remembered what she had said to him the day before. He wasn't sure if he could calmly

Asher's POV For the next few days Asher busied himself in work to keep from thinking about the crazy woman Sarah's words. Anytime he would be idle they would replay again and again in his mind threatening to drive him mad. He would be lying to himself if he said he wasn't the slightest bit interested in what exactly it was she wanted from him. However, due to her manic behavior during their meet he knew getting involved with her would do nothing but bring him trouble. It was due to that realization each time temptation would start rearing its ugly head, a small voice in the back of his mind would remind him to forget it and find something else to keep himself occupied. However, as each day passed and the day of Summer's wedding grew closer, Asher found himself thinking of Sarah's words almost constantly and wondering if what she had to say involved being able to get Summer to leave Michael. The prospect of it was so ver
The Dark soul Chapter 12: Her Proposition
Asher's POVSarah had remained silent as they ate, insisting that it was best that they had their discussion afterwards over a few drinks. Due to her insistence Asher ate quickly paying no mind to the taste or look of whatever was on the plate in front of him."Slow down Asher, it won't run away." Sarah joked as she watched him eat as if this was his last meal.Swallowing Asher pushed his now empty plate away from him before lifting his gaze to meet Sarah's amused eyes."I was just famished." He argued even though his reasoning sounded weak even to him.Raising an eyebrow Sarah chuckled, "of course you were."As she spoke she wiped her mouth with a napkin and pushed her plate away as well indicating that she too was finished with her meal.Finally, Asher couldn't help feel anticipation begin to buzz through his body."You like Summer don't you?" Sarah asked suddenly, her words catching Asher
The Dark soul Chapter 13: Father
Summer's POV Summer stared up at the large white building Michael had just pulled up to with the glowing red word 'Emergency' illuminated on it. It was early Thursday morning and her father had insisted that he be picked up upon discharge by his daughter and future Son-in-law. Of course, there was no way that they could deny this request. "You ready" Michael asked cutting the engine of his vehicle and beginning to unbunkle. Summer gave a slight nod, "Yeah, I'm ready." Watching Michael exit Summer took a deepbreath to try to calm her rattled nerves. Her relationship with her biological father could be considered anything but great. He treated herlike a tool rather than a beloved daughter. After all, that was the only reason he even decided to acknowledge her and bring her to his side in the first place. If he hadn't found her useful who knew where she would be right now.
The Dark soul Chapter 14: Banquet Part 1
Asher's POV Friday evening and the day of Michael and Summer's celebration banquet came in a flash, and Asher found himself once again staring at the entrance of Bon Temps. Despite his best efforts to convince himself that he wouldn't have any part of Sarah's plan to sabotage Michael and Summer's banquet, he found himself here now waiting for the woman to arrive so that he could be her plus one for the nights big event. Up ahead a line had already formed at the entrance of the building as two men busied themselves checking invitations, followed by doing body checks before allowing guests entrance. Asher found it odd given the fact this was simply a celebration for family and friends. Why would they even need to check those who were invited for weapons? "Asher!" A voice called from behind as he stood pondering this. Turning Asher watched as Sarah clad in a too tight gold dress with a dipping v-neck, that accentua

Summer's POVSummer positioned herself beside Michael at the top of the grand staircase of Bon Temps watching as the room below grew dark.She ran a hand down the sides of her silver sequined gown making sure it wasn't out of place in any way. After all she had to look picture perfect.For hours prior Summer had been the victim of an onslaught of stylists and makeup artists that had been hired to make her look like a rising star for the evenings main event. If she so much as ruined a strand of her hair there would be hell to pay.After dealing with them for so long her nerves were already fried and now having to walk down a staircase with a bunch of people watching was the last thing she wanted to do.Putting a hand to her chest Summer attempted to calm her heart, willing it to slow its erratic pace.As she fixed her gaze ahead preparing to make her entrance with her 'fiance' a spotlight flashed on, momentarily blindi

Asher's POVAsher's heart ceased to beat as he watched Summer slump forward into his arms as the drug Sarah had given her took effect.The fear he saw in her eyes right before they closed left him shaken to his very core. It was something he had never seen from her before, not even when her stepfather was at his worst."Summer." He tried now lightly touching her cheek, anxiety bubbling within him, "Summer, wake up."The image of her lying on that stretcher completely lifeless six years ago flashed across his mind, threatening to send him over the edge.With more urgency he began tapping Summer's cheek, trying his best to get her to wake up.His eyes that stayed focused on her face began to fill with tears as she lay unresponsive.Sarah had said it wouldn't harm Summer, so why was she unconscious now? The thought plagued him, as he frantically did his best to rouse her.Each passing second that she didn't

Reporters hurriedly unloaded their equipment from them before heading one after the other to the entrance of Bon Temps.Asher could only imagine the scene that was most certainly about to take place within the buildings four walls.From the looks of the number of people arriving it was going to be a huge spectacle.Security tried their best to keep the reporters at bay, but in the end they lost due to being outnumbered and the wave of people ready for a big scoop managed to squeeze their way inside. He could hear a few shrieks of surprise fr

They moved towards her as she tried to back away.Behind them the devil himself smiled viciously enjoying the look of pure terror on her face.Try as she might she couldn't back any further as they closed in clawing at her while laughing.Waking with a jolt Summer attempted to catch her breath as her heart hammered in her chest. Her whole body shook from the overwhelming fear she was feeling from the same nightmare she had almost every night.Gasping for air she tried to collect herself and take in her surroundings.The first thing she noticed when she finally calmed was there seemed to be arms wrapped tightly around her. The second was that she was in a tub full of freezing water.Confusion ebbing she tried to recall what exactly led to this.She remembered being at the celebration banquet f
