Paxton SanjivaPart 2 - Bodyguard Duty (Retry 2/2)
A trip to the beach? It’s a damn island. How hard could that be? Paxton wondered why someone would need a bodyguard to walk less than a mile to the shore.
They sure are taking their time.A few moments passed until the minor celebrity finally emerged from their specialized Hunter suite. Paxton wondered what all the fuss was about. Apart from being tall and tan, the celebrity Hunter appeared fairly average. Perhaps even modest considering their heavy coat covered nearly all of their body. They spoke in a low voice, “Were you followed?”
“No, of course not. Let’s just get to the damn beach. Okay?” Paxton grunted as she followed the Hunter celebrity closely. When they arrived at the beach, a crowd of other hunters swarmed them. They began attacking Paxton of all people. “Dammit! What’s wrong with you idiots?!” From what she could gather, the Mist Hunter was being attacked because they were jealous of her. They thought they she and celebrity were secret couple.
“You people are crazy! I don’t even know them! Enough of this!” Paxton attacked the crowd furiously but the celebrity was injured in the process. They dropped down onto the sand. “No! I’m so sorry! I’ll get you to somewhere less wild.” She lifted the wounded celebrity and carried them to a nearby cove.
“This is much better. Now take off your coat and I’ll bandage you.” The celebrity did as Paxton instructed and threw off their heavy coat. Paxton saw what had been driving all of the different Hunters so wild. Perfectly sculpted and naturally toned muscles adorned what Paxton could only guess from the bathing suit was a woman’s body. And war scars on top of them. Proof of their might and experience or recklessness. Either way, the Mist Hunter tried not to stare as she bandaged them.
Vavoom! was all Paxton’s weapon could say.
The celebrity thanked Paxton and they both rested by the peaceful waves. Those peaceful waves were soon overwhelmed by noise of another crowd. They swarmed Paxton and celebrity and in a flash, Paxton lost track of the body she was supposed to be guarding. She eventually fought off the crowd then found the celebrity kneeling on in the sand. “Are you alright?”
The celebrity sighed, “I’ll live. Looks like you managed to make it to my favorite spot. Don’t be upset, you’re better than my last bodyguard for sure.”
Paxton shook her head. “I should’ve been more serious. You’re-You… just enjoy yourself.”
