1
My heart was pounding as I landed on the other side of the wall, and I didn't look back once at the mansion as I ran away.
2
When I was far enough, I collapsed on a park bench.
3
Oh my god.
4
I did it!
5
I'm free!
6
I am never, ever going back!
7
This is the life!
8
Sleeping under the starry sky, breathing in the crisp night air.
9
I leapt up in panic and saw a rat scurrying across the bench.
10
Ew!
11
Okay, I don't have to be out here forever.
12
Just a few days.
13
Enough to scare my parents.
14
Now I just need to find a decent place to sleep.
15
I fell on my butt as a white thing came zooming towards me, only to realize it was a flying paper bag.
16
I nervously laughed and got up, but everything around me was beginning to feel sinister.
17
Maybe mom and dad have been punished enough.
18
They'll be pooping their pants by now.
19
And suddenly, I had a strong feeling that I was being followed.
20
I abruptly turned around to find nothing, but then I saw a huge shadow in the alley, and my blood ran cold.
21
I started running like crazy and was crossing the street when I tripped and landed hard on the ground.
22
As I turned over, I froze upon seeing a tall, cloaked figure towering over me with no face.
23
The creature bent down closer to me, then drew a long breath.
24
The creature recoiled and stepped back, and just then I heard a heavy bike roaring down the road coming straight at me.
25
I clamped my eyes shut and kept screaming till I felt someone shaking my shoulders.
26
Marion, you're fine.
27
For the love of God, shut up.
28
I stared at the familiar face in shock.
29
Jake?
30
Jake?
31
Oh my God, oh my God, hold me.
32
I've had the worst night.
33
Let's get you home, and you can tell me all about it.
34
Can you just hold me for two freaking seconds?
35
I need to be held right now!
36
As Jake hugged me, I looked around to see the faceless creature was gone.
37
Hi, my name is Marion, and I know y'all have a lot of questions.
38
Like, how come she's so pretty?
39
And what's the deal with her unique eyes?
40
And who does her amazing hair?
41
Okay, maybe you also have some questions about what just happened.
42
They'll all get answered if you stick around for my story.
43
And please, like and subscribe.
44
About my eyes and hair, I wasn't born like this.
45
You see, when I was five, I was vacationing in the Swiss Alps with my parents, when one day I woke up with streaks of white running through my dark hair.
46
And I'd also developed heterochromia.
47
My parents, who were big worry warts, really freaked out.
48
They had me examined by every doctor in the world, but no one could figure out the reason.
49
What was even funnier was that every time my parents dyed my hair, it turned back white overnight, which drove them crazy.
50
But I secretly loved it.
51
Just like my hair was rebelling long before I started.
52
My dad was a rich politician, and over the course of his career, he kept going after big criminals and making enemies.
53
So my parents were always super paranoid about my safety, and I had a security team on my tail all the time.
54
Can you guys please move away from the bathroom door?
55
You don't need to hear all the sounds my butt makes.
56
Let me poop in peace.
57
For the last time, the poor lunch lady is not trying to kill me.
58
Oh, for crying out loud, he was just giving me a box of chocolates, not a bomb.
59
Your security team is ruining my life.
60
No boy at college will even look at me now.
61
Do you want me to be single and loveless forever?
62
Sounds good to me.
63
He's kidding, honey.
64
But it's so hard to trust new people.
65
You know, Jake is back in town after becoming the state's youngest police detective.
66
You mean your best friend's son and my ex, Jake?
67
Are you serious, Mom?
68
It could be different this time.
69
You haven't seen him in four years.
70
Hasn't been long enough.
71
Jake was three years older than me, and we'd known each other since we were kids.
72
We dated for a few months when I was 16, but we were completely wrong for each other.
73
And saying it hadn't ended well was an understatement.
74
Marion, have you heard a word I said?
75
Uh, yeah, no. We're hosting a banquet at our place this weekend.
76
At the end of which, I'll be announcing that I'm running for president.
77
The president of what?
78
The country, of course.
79
What?
80
Are you kidding me?
81
Listen, I know my political career places restrictions on your life, but we have to look at the big picture here.
82
Which is what, Dad?
83
The chance to do good.
84
I have the power to make change, and with great power comes great- Oh my god, don't finish that sentence.
85
You're not Spider-Man or some other superhero with a cliched line.
86
You're my dad, but all your life you've put your career first!
87
That's not fair!
88
I don't care, because all I know is...
89
You're making me miserable!
90
Of course, nothing was gonna change Dad's mind, so the least I could do was sulk and reject all his peace offerings.
91
And on the evening of the banquet, I pretended I was having the worst period cramps any woman had ever experienced, pulled out my running away plans,
92
and then used this opportunity while everyone was busy to escape.
93
And well, you know the rest about what happened that night.
94
What were you thinking?
95
Running away like that?
96
And what do you mean there was a faceless creature?
97
And he sniffed you?
98
I do smell very nice.
99
And I don't know if it was a he or a she or a they?
100
It looked like a tall man.
101
He ran away as I came towards you on my bike.
102
I would have followed him, but you were screaming like you'd been stabbed.
103
Now, can you describe the.. creature?
104
How?
105
I'm telling you!
106
No face!
107
Nada!
108
There was a black hole instead!
109
Maybe he was just wearing some mask?
110
You do have an overactive imagination.
111
Aren't you always writing some dumb horror novel?
112
I'm not making this up!
113
Oh god!
114
He could be someone from one of the Mafia gangs I busted recently!
115
Maybe he's been stalking you and followed you from the mansion when you ran away!
116
We'll just have to amp up security!
117
You mean besides the eight morons who follow me around all day already?
118
With all due respect, sir, I think we need a more qualified personal bodyguard.
119
I can interview some candidates for you.
120
That would be wonderful, Jake.
121
Hey, no one's choosing a personal bodyguard for me without my approval.
122
Okay, your highness, I'll bring the candidates here and you can interview them with me.
123
If there's nothing else, I'll get going now.
124
Why don't you see Jake out, honey?
125
He's a detective.
126
He'll find his way.
127
Marianne!
128
All right!
129
As I walked with Jake to the main door, I couldn't help giving him a side glance.
130
He was cuter than I remembered, even though I wasn't a huge fan of the unshaven look, and I wish he'd tuck his shirt in.
131
If you wanna check me out, just say so.
132
I'll let you do it without hurting your eyes so much. As if!
133
I was just wondering why you're aging so badly.
134
Can't say the same for you.
135
You're.. definitely prettier now.
136
I could feel my face going red.
137
But your annoying personality totally ruins it.
138
What were you doing out there tonight anyway?
139
Your mother panic-called me after they found out you'd run away.
140
I knew you couldn't have gone too far on foot, so I was scouting the area.
141
You still haven't thanked me, by the way.
142
Uh, okay.
143
Thank you.
144
You're welcome.
145
I'm glad you're alright.
146
Suddenly, his hand was on my arm, and he was leaning in closer.
147
And he was looking at my lips.
148
I felt kinda lightheaded and- Got it.
149
You had a leaf in your hair.
150
Wait, you didn't think I was gonna kiss you, did you?
151
Ew!
152
Barf!
153
Puke!
154
Why would you even say that?
155
Cuz you're pouting?
156
It's the face I make when I'm disgusted, which I am with you so close to me.
157
Good.
158
We're on the same page then.
159
I gotta go.
160
I'm late for a date.
161
Ugh.
162
Of course he had a date.
163
It was just me who was gonna die loveless and alone.
164
Oh, wow.
165
I've forgotten how good your chefs are.
166
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
167
There's ketchup on your shirt and mustard on your face.
168
Can we just start the interviews?
169
Nope.
170
Too old.
171
His reaction time is probably slower than mine.
172
Nope, too chatty.
173
He'll chew my ear off all day.
174
Did you see his long nose hair?
175
Ew, Jake, ew!
176
What kind of self-respecting bodyguard wears bright pink socks?
177
His tie was crooked, and so were his teeth.
178
You're just finding stupid reasons to reject everyone.
179
My team took three days to compile this list.
180
Look, this person has to spend every waking moment with me, and it has to be someone I'm comfortable with.
181
Next!
182
As the door opened and I looked up, my jaw dropped to the floor.
183
The guy who'd walked in was tall, dark, handsome, and then some.
184
He had skin like marble, cheekbones you could grate cheese on, and intense blue eyes that pierced my soul.
185
He was immaculately dressed, and you could tell through his clothes that he was ripped.
186
Uh, your name is Magnus, right?
187
Your references seem, um, excellent.
188
Yes, very good.
189
He's hired!
190
What?
191
The interview isn't over!
192
It's not even started!
193
Excellent references, right?
194
That's all I need to know!
195
You're hired, Magnet!
196
His name is Magnus.
197
I know!
198
I'm not stupid!
199
So, you can start tomorrow, yes?
200
I certainly can, Miss Marion.
201
Oh my god, that voice!
202
It was melting like butter on warm toast!
203
Welcome to our home.
204
After I've run a background check and consulted with Miss Marion's parents, Magnus will be in touch.
205
As Magnus nodded and turned to leave, Jake suddenly grabbed an apple from the table and shot it straight at him.
206
Seconds before it was about to hit the back of his head, Magnus turned around and caught it with one hand.
207
What was that?
208
Just checking his reflexes.
209
Not bad.
210
Magnus smirked and tossed the apple to Jake before leaving, and I sat down in a daze.
211
You are unbelievable!
212
What?
213
You were dying for me to hire one of your candidates, and I just did.
214
The only reason you hired him is because he's devastatingly handsome.
215
I always had a feeling you were gay and hiding it.
216
Marion, I don't have a good feeling about this guy.
217
Something's...off.
218
Yes, his good looks are off the charts.
219
If you're having a problem, just do your background check, dude.
220
Oh, I'll definitely be doing that. Have fun.
221
By the way, your fly's been open the whole time.
222
Uh, what?
223
No, it's not!
224
But I made you look.
225
Jake's background check didn't reveal anything suspicious, So my parents were happy to have Magnus on board, and had him settled into a room close to mine the next day.
226
And I was ecstatic!
227
I just had to work on acting cool around him, and not make my giant crush super obvious.
228
And when I walked into college with Magnus by my side, I could see how everyone was flipping out.
229
Even my philosophy teacher was so distracted by his presence, she dropped water on her desk, sat on her glasses, and tripped over a wire.
230
Girl, you're so lucky your life is in danger.
231
I'm so jealous right now.
232
I know.
233
You're gonna make a move on him, right?
234
No!
235
That is so inappropriate.
236
The thought of overstepping boundaries with an employee would never even cross my mind.
237
How do I look in this red dress?
238
It's not my job to have an opinion about your clothes, Miss Marion.
239
Okay, then.
240
Oh gosh, the zip seems to be stuck.
241
I'm not kidding.
242
It's really not moving.
243
How about a damsel in distress?
244
As Magnus came closer and I felt his hand on my back, my heart started racing.
245
I'll call a store employee.
246
Why don't you order something too?
247
I don't eat or drink on the job.
248
But you're on the job all the time.
249
By the way, does it bother your girlfriend that your work involves taking care of a pretty girl?
250
I don't have a girlfriend.
251
Oh, thank God.
252
I mean, I'm glad because I have a knack for setting up people.
253
No one specific in mind for you right now, but I could look into it.
254
So, what kind of girls do you like?
255
The non-existent kind.
256
The car's here, ma'am.
257
Let's go.
258
Hi.
259
I was just wondering if you'd do me a huge favor.
260
See, I've been working on this horror novel for a few years now, and I'd love to get your opinion.
261
I think it's great, actually.
262
Okay, I don't want to oversell it, but I really like the first ten chapters.
263
No, wait, five.
264
The first five chapters are good.
265
Okay, fine.
266
The first three pages.
267
Alright, I love the title and maybe the rest of it is all bad.
268
It's years of work and I'm terrified it's not good and I just need someone to read it and tell me- So,
269
did you start reading my book?
270
Yes, I actually finished it last night.
271
Wow, that was fast.
272
What did you think of it?
273
It's not my job to have an opinion about anything except your safety, Miss Marion.
274
Ugh, this beautiful demigod was made of stone and he couldn't be less interested in me.
275
Later that night, I was sleeping deeply when I woke up to the smell of smoke.
276
I ran towards my door, but I opened it to find huge flames sweeping across the hall.
277
I screamed for help, but no one was around.
278
I had no choice left but to jump out of my window.
279
The flames were roaring in.
280
I had to jump now.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
