How long ago was it when I joined The Dark Children of The Night? It’s been barely a week since I’ve joined their group and so much has happened in a short amount of time. I never believed any of this would happen. I always believed in the supernatural, but it would be a force, far beyond my comprehension and I will most likely never encounter it. But, it’s all real. Vampires, demons, the demonic realm, magic, they’re all real. Just experiencing or even witnessing their power to be held right in front of my own eyes, is like witnessing gods unleashing their wrath upon the lands they walk. And I am part of their group. Or am I just their punching bag/toy? It’s hard to tell what I am to them as their mood or even their expression is hard to read. But considering that they are demons, their sadistic side of them might tell them I am a toy for them or even their emergency snack. I could never really tell.

Hours passed by since Andrea knocked me out. I awoke, I could barely feel my body at all. I open my eyes and see the ceiling and recognize it. It was the same room I awoke from early the same day. Although now, it appears to be a late day as the lights coming from the window. As I arose from the bed, two maids walked into the room. One of them had bright fiery orange hair while the other had long fluffy white hair and was hiding behind the first maid.

“Good to see that you are awake now master Saul.” One of the maids spoke out.

“y-yeah. Who are you?” I asked.

“Oh, my apologies. I am Misty, one of Sara’s maids. And this is my younger sister BB. Say hello, BB.” Misty said.

“G-good afternoon…M-master Saul.” She nervously said she struggles to stand alone and bows. Then she quickly backpedaled behind misty.

“Well, now that we have introductions out of the way, Mistress Sara has instructed us to deliver your clothes to you and escort you back home.” Misty implied.

“My clothes?” I asked. I then uncover myself only to see that I am naked under the blanket and quickly cover myself. “So, where are they at?” I said while I was blushing red.

BB then slowly approaches the bed with my clothes neatly fold but then quickly placed them near me and again she quickly dashes back behind misty. I didn’t mind it at all as I can tell she was extremely shy. Misty didn’t pay attention to her shyness or she’s used to it.

“uh, can you both turn around or leave while I change?” I asked.

Misty and BB turned around as I slowly got out of bed. But as I got out of bed, I noticed the bandages on my body were gone. However, though the bandage is gone, what’s left behind are scars and stitches by the many injuries probably I made on myself early this morning. I ignored them for now and hurried up and got dressed. I still feel a bit of pain as I dress in my clothing. Though what surprises me was it was the same clothing I wore when I first met Sara and Frey. And they’ve been patched up from the tears and scraps were nowhere to be traced. Almost like they were brand new.

“Okay, now you guys can turn around.” I said. They did so but BB still had her hands over her eyes. Misty tapped her shoulder but BB walked behind Misty as if she didn’t want to take any chances at all.

“Well now, I believe it’s time you be on your way master Saul.” Misty said.

“Wait, I feel like I meet up with Sara and apologize for all the trouble I have caused up until this point.” I said.

“uh, that would be an unwise decision at this moment.” Misty implied.

“Why” I asked. Suddenly, Sara’s voice yelled at the top of her lungs as she was right outside yelling at Andrea and Miyoko for stealing me, Along with Jax, Kam, and Xin.

“HAVE ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW STRESSED I AM FOR ALL OF YOUR BULLSHIT YOU HAVE PUT THROUGH!! FIRST YOU ALL SAID THAT YOU WEREN’T INTERESTED IN THE KID! NOW YOU STEAL HIM WHILE I AND FREY WERE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAINING!” She yells. Given her tone, she does not look to be in a talking mood.

“Never mind.” I said.

BB then went over to the corner of the room where a small wardrobe was there. She unlocks its side door with a small key. In the wardrobe was an inside mirror just tall enough for me to pass through. Misty and BB then drew a magic sigil on the surface of the mirror and saw an incantation. The mirror then glowed as the portal back to my world was now opened.

“Thank you.” I said.

“No need to thank us. We’re simply following Mistress Sara's instructions. I will let her know you send her regards.” Misty said as she and BB bow to me.

“Thank you.” I said. However, I was still disappointed that I didn’t get to see Sara. I think even Misty noticed it but I never said a word.

I exit through the portal and safely cross back into my world as the portal closes behind me. I look outside of the bathroom window and see it is late evening as the sun is almost gone over the horizon. I exit the bathroom and see that nobody is at home. I walked right into the kitchen and saw that there is a pizza box at the center of the dinner table. Though I doubt there would be any slice left given how hungry my family gets hungry from time to time. To no surprise, there were no slices left, which sucks because I was really hungry. I then turned my way to the fridge to see if there was anything edible in it. But to my surprise, there were two slices of pizza there wrapped in plastic with a sticky note on it that reads out “dinner if you get hungry”. Knowing the handwriting, it was from my mother, guess they went out for dinner or to their friend’s house. I quickly unwrapped the pizzas and placed them both in the microwave. I set the timer to a minute and a half to cook. I looked further in the fridge for something to drink as well. I found a cola soda can however it was not cold enough. It was probably put there recently, either by my dad or my uncle. Shame, I wanted something sugar to fill me but can’t do that with a hot soda. I took the water bottle instead as it was nice and cold and I wanted to feel refreshed after a long day. The microwave beeps off as it was done cooking the pizzas. I took them out and placed them on a plate. However, I was eating alone by myself.

Nothing could be heard in my house, the TV was off, my pet rabbit was fast asleep in their cages, my sister was upstairs either gaming or drawing for her classes. But other than that, the house was quiet, barely a sound could be heard. Even the sounds of me munching on a microwaved pizza could make a mouse squeak sounds like a megaphone. The more I was left in my thoughts I got less hungry. I ate one whole pizza but I was slowly losing my appetite the more I ate. I stopped eating and threw out the crust and half-eaten pizza. I washed the plate and placed it on the dish's wrack, but I was less motivated in washing it. After drying my hands, I went straight into my room. Even my room looked lonesome at this hour. I walked over to my bed and crawled right into it; I didn’t even bother to turn on the lights to see. I just crawled right into my bed. As I crawled into bed, I noticed something hard in my left pocket. I turned over and reached my hand into the pocket and pulled out a necklace. It had a half heart-shaped with two wings pulled out from its side along with some amethyst embedded on its wing. At the center of the half heart, the necklace was a swirl with a sapphire gem at the center. I forgot about it. I didn’t think it would still be in my pants. Before I met Sara and Frey, the strap of my necklace snapped while I was in the store. I put it in my pocket after it snapped and have been meaning to get it fixed but never did due to everything that has happened.

The last few days, no, the last week, it has been utter chaos. I have never felt so much rush, adrenaline, and near-death experience in such a short amount of time. I felt like death itself was just taunting me at its doorstep or it just won’t let me die so easily. I know the contract mark also helps me as well, but it doesn’t help me mentally. Even the first I held the gun, it terrorized my spine so hard I thought it was going to snap. And the first time I took someone’s life away right before my eyes and there’s. I curled up hugging my legs as I against the wall of my bed. I held the necklace close to me and slowly lost myself in my thoughts. Contemplate on everything and look back at the peaceful days.
