Trouble on the Homefront - Part II

“MISTRESS. It’s time to get up.”

Jasmine woke up to the gentle voice of her maid. Slowly opening her eyes, she fluttered her eyelashes several times as Madison’s face swam into view. Brown eyes. Brown braided hair. A pretty face with fair skin, a small nose, and pink lips, placid and soothing.

“Madison,” Jasmine mumbled as she sat up in bed. Yawning, she stretched her hands high above her head, luxuriating in the simple pleasure of feeling her muscles stretch.

She had been exercising a lot more recently, ever since Alex had left for parts of the galaxy unknown. It was mostly a way to kill time… no, that was a lie. She missed Alexander and by exercising, she felt like she was still close to him, felt like he was still nearby. After all, those exercises that she did were tailor made for her by Alexander.

“Good morning, Mistress.” Madison inclined her head. “I have prepared the bath for you. Please refresh yourself while I finishing cooking breakfast.”

“Thank you.”

Madison really was the best maid she could have asked for. No one would have even suspected that she wasn’t human, that hidden underneath her flesh was metal and circuits.

Alex had made Madison for her, created her after learning about her circumstances at home. He had said it was so she wouldn’t be lonely. Even to this day, the memory of that time remained within her, a slow, pleasant but at the same time painful burning that caused her heart to beat faster. She would never forget what Alexander had done for her, what he continued to do for her.

Then she journeyed across the marble floor. After taking a sonic shower that cleaned her body in seconds, she slowly entered the large tub and leaned back, sighing as several petals caressed her skin.

The water was the perfect temperature. Not too hot. Not too cold.

I wonder what Alexander is doing? Is he safe?

Jasmine did not know where Alexander had gone, what he was doing, or when he would be back. She only knew what Alice had told her. Alexander had left the solar system for a place called Camelot. He was going to help someone. He had gone with Gabrielle and Nyx.

She bit her thumbnail.

Why did he not ask me to come with him?

It was a foolish question; she knew exactly why Alexander had not requested she come with him, why he hadn’t even told her. It was obvious. He wanted to protect her.

For as long as she had known him, Alex had always done his best to protect others. He saved people from bullies, fought off criminals, and always jumped headfirst into trouble for others. It was how he’d been long before becoming a cadet in the Mars Police Force.

Climbing out of the bathtub, Jasmine allowed water to
