Coming of the Runway King: Lucien's Story

The next day saw Lucien waking up at exactly seven o'clock despite going to bed at 3:00 in the morning. He got out of bed and went into his walk-in closet and headed to the section which held his


jogging clothes. He put on a racerback shirt and jogging pants and paired it with his favorite sneakers. He walked over to his dresser and pulled out a hair tie. 


He gathered his hair and braided it. He missed his long hair quite a bit in his previous life. Max and Kain felt that it looked ridiculous and cheap on him. They made him cut it and ensured that it remained that way.


He took a deep breath and then looked into the mirror. He had to admit that he looked better with long hair than the short bob he was forced to wear. One last look in the mirror and he was off. He started his warmup routine as he got out of the gate that led to his house.


The Modelling Industry was a serious profession and so was the weight of the title "Runway King". It was not only a title of prestige but was essentially a tool to hold other models in check should they do something that ruins the reputation of the modelling world. Very few models have gotten the chance to receive the title and each of them used it for the good.


However, there was one model who received the title and nearly ruined the modelling world and almost tore it to shreds - Clive Sanchez.


As he tried to recall the details of what Sanchez did, he jolted at the sound of screaming. He realized that it was a child's scream. He took off to the direction from which the scream came from. As he came close, he saw a child sitting on a tree branch. The child had brown hair and blue eyes. The boy was holding a black cat in his arms The boy looked scared. Lucien figured that the child was scared of heights and the fear probably kicked in after he got hold of the cat.


He walked up to the tree and stood right under the boy's position. "Hey kid, you and the kitty okay up there ?" he asked. "I'm okay but I....I don't... know how to get down. I'm scared". The boy was trembling in fright. Lucien smiled at the boy's brave face and countenance. He stretched his arms out and said "Jump and I'll catch you". The body shook his head. "It's too high. I don't want to jump. It's scary". Lucien looked thoughtfully at the boy and figured out that he probably didn't trust him much. He decided to take a gamble. 


"Kiddo, I live in the next lane and am your neighbour. My name is Lucien Fabbri and I swear that I am not a bad man. Scout's honor". 


The boy seemed to believe what he just said. "Promise me that you will catch me and Cruz ?" he asked. "I will catch you both". With that, the boy took a deep breath, tucked the cat securely into his chest and shut his eyes . He leapt off the branch and fell right into Lucien's arms.


"Hey buddy, you can open your eyes". "Thank you for keeping your promise" . "My pleasure, sweetheart ". Suddenly, a deep male voice called out.  "Decker, where are you ?". The person sounded worried sick. "Daddy, I am over here". Decker  responded with joy in his voice. Luscious brown hair and deep blues eyes came into Lucien's view. He was dumbstruck at the sight of the person he recognized from his previous life.
