Asier had brought in a girl last year, she was about fifteen and is now sixteen. He promised to save her, and he did. Her name is Velora. Unfortunately, he has come to find out that this girl is in love with him. All of his followers worship the ground he steps on, but this was different. This girl spoke of him so differently.
At first he was appalled, but now, he could use this to his advantage. He found that she would do anything he asked her to. He could mold her into being his perfect follower. She was beautiful, obedient, and always got more people to join. Her love for him is perfect, his plans were doing well all because of her.
Asier had also noticed that there are some people that are beginning to question him. How dare they, he offered a cure, a home, and peace to them and they dare question him? Maybe Velora could help with this too. How? He'd have to figure it out.
Today's meeting had just ended, and he'd decided to keep Velora. Again. He'd been constantly keeping her back to talk more, he had to keep her devotion and praise and time together was keeping her glued to him.
Unfortunately, some of the people who are questioning him have also begun to question why he continues to keep Velora. How nosy, what he does with his most devoted followers is none of their business. She's the only girl her age, the rest are women twenty two and above or babies and toddlers. No others that were her age. The teenage boys often picked on her because she was 'weird', that weird was perfect.
Asier walked over to Velora, she was one of the last people in the meeting building. Which was perfect.
"Velora, my blossom, I'd like you to stay back today." He said quietly, tucking some of her hair behind her ear gently. "You are so beautiful."
After everyone had left and they were the only ones left I'm the building, he'd pulled her into an embrace, his chin on her head as he spoke.
"I've missed you, Velora." He whispered.
Was it manipulation? Yes, but for a good cause.
