I stayed in the corner of my bed still left contemplating in my mind. Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. I saw the time and it was nine pm. I didn’t realize that hours have passed since I’ve come home. I crawled over at the other end of my bed to my desk and turned on the lamp to light up the room. I then got out of bed and made my way towards the door as someone was still knocking. And just for safekeeping, I placed the necklace back in my pocket.

“I’m coming. I’m coming!” I yelled. I unlocked the door, and on the other side of it, was Sara. Dressed in a bathrobe with a towel covering her hair.

“Heyo kiddo.” She said.

“Sara? What are you doing here?” I asked.

“Well, I stepped out of the bath back home not too long ago. I needed to cool off after lecturing the group about taking you.” She said as she was leaning against the doorframe with a can of cola soda in her hand.

“Isn’t that a soda from the fridge?” I asked.

“Oh yeah. Your mom said you like these.” She said.

“Yeah but that can is not cold enough so you could just put that back.” I said. But before I could say anything else, Sara blew here breath at the can as it was covered in ice.

“Did you forget I could do this?” she said. She touches my cheek with the cold can, I winced as the can itself was cold. Colder than a block of ice.

I took the can itself and my hands felt numb already from the temperature of the cold can. Surprisingly I could still open it despite how the can is covered in ice. I took one sip and the taste itself was accelerating. I always enjoy a cold soda but this one was different then what I normally would drink. It’s hard to explain.

“Well, are you just gonna stand ogle at the soda?” She asked.

“Oh sorry.” I said.

I stepped away from the door frame and took another sip and placed the soda can on the table. I walked back to my bed but Sara walked in as well and began drying her hair and sit on my desk chair. I thought she just wants to give me the soda but seems like she wants to talk to me about something. Though it has been a while she and I have ever talked face to face. However, I wished she wasn’t exposing so much of herself in her bathrobe. It’s hard to look at her when her body is practically exposed at every angle. As she finished drying her hair, she lays the towel on the back of the chair. She then lays backs and crossed her legs as she reaches for the soda and takes a drink of my soda. I brushed brightly red and turned away. How she could just drink someone else’s drink and be calm about it. Damn it now I feel like one of those anime characters who freak about an indirect kiss.

“aaahhh, now that hit the spot.” She said. She also noticed me looking down.

“What’s with the long face kiddo?” she asked.

“Huh? Oh, nothing. Just had a long day today. I have never been so tired in my entire life before.” I said.

“That’s not it. If you were tired. You would have been sleeping by now. What’s on your mind kiddo?” she asked.

I didn’t know what to say exactly. There’s so much I kind of want to get off my chest and a lot does have to do with the group. But how do I say this? And would I be offending her and the others if I speak what I have to say?

“It’s nothing.” I said.

However, I can tell she wasn’t buying my response. She tilted her and gave out a slight “hhmm” and knew I wasn’t being honest with her and she didn’t like it. I turned and faced the wall so I wasn’t looking her in the eye or at any part that’s revealing her private parts. Suddenly, my bed shook a bit as I turned and saw Sara crawling towards me as she was right in front of my face. She then grabbed from behind and crossed her legs around to ensure I wouldn’t get away from her so easily. I could not tell you how embarrassed I was but more than anything, my heart was racing in a hundred miles an hour for close she was and hugging me. She smelled fresh and her chest was right up against my shoulders. I never knew that she could be so modest with me in her state and she doesn’t care.

“Uh, Sara.” I said while blushing red.

“Yes, kiddo?” Sara replied.

“What are you doing?” I asked again.

“Making sure you’re not getting away from me so you can tell me everything that’s on your mind.” She said.

“Why do you have to go this far?” I asked.

“Cause” she replied.

“(sigh) fine.” I said.

Though before I could say anything, I had to gather myself and my thoughts all while trying to keep my mind intact given my predicament at the moment. But I think it was about time I should tell her and be open with her. I took a breath and with my mindset or at least asset it could be, I let out everything to her.

“The truth, I don’t know… how I feel about it… anything anymore. Since I joined the group, my mind, my heart, and my emotions have gone all over the place. It’s just been utter chaos. I joined the group, I went on my first mission, I saw how you guys do your job and I messed up. I killed a guy, even though you guys told me to not think about it I still do. Like everything in my life just went from zero to a hundred within a second. First I was just picking groceries like any average joe then next thing I know I’m fighting for my life with weapons and magic that’s straight out of a JRPG.” I said.

“A what now?” She asked.

“It’s a genre of a video game. You guys don’t have those in your world, do you?” I asked.

“Nope!” she said.

“Figured as much. The point is, my feelings are just all over the place.” I replied.

“What about us?” she asked.

“Huh?” I commented.

“What do you think of the members so far?” she added.

That question was kind of hard to answer though. Is she going to hate me for what I have or she going to use it against me? Considering that she’s a demon, no, a vampire. There’s no telling what she’ll do. She has me trapped in her arms and legs and she could bite me or have my head if I do anything funny or try to escape her grasp.

“Well, it’s hard to say to be honest. You and Frey are the nice mentors for me. But you guys don’t hold back when it comes to training. You guys are savage and blunt that I need to step up my game when it comes to training. Kam and Jax show that they care a lot about and they care about the difference between me being a human and you guys being demons. They both see the good bad about me. Xin… I don’t know much about her because all she did was, she beat the hell out of me. Though she does relentlessly… tell me I need to be better. Andrea and Miyoko, they’re something else, hard to believe that they’re your sisters.” I implied.

“Believe me kiddo after what they did to you, they will not be my sisters anymore.” She said in angrily tone.

After hearing that from her, I laughed out on how she said. Very reminiscent of how I and my siblings would be like. Though Sara says she’s the youngest of the sisters she acts like the oldest. My joy, however, was short-lived as my laughter suddenly turned into pain as Sara was pinching my cheeks.

“That’s not funny.” She said as she’s pinching my cheeks.

“Sorry I couldn’t help myself! But in all honesty, in your guys’ way, you guys show that you do care for me as the newbie but…. I can’t just always be babied by you guys all the time. I need to build my reputation as a member of the group. I do want to prove you guys not just as a member.”

“As what then?” she asked.

“Promise you won’t laugh?” I asked.

“No promises.” She said. I sighed and figured she would say that.

“I thought maybe…. We could be friends?” I said.

Oh god, I can’t believe I said that. I then covered my face in embarrassment as I said aloud. Never in my life have I been more embarrassed to say something so damn idiotic question.

“aww, you do care.” Said a familiar voice.

Sara and I both looked up and Frey, Andrea, Miyoko, Xin, Kam, and Jax at the other side of my room as they looked through my room itself.

“So, this is what human beds are like huh? Not exactly how I imagine to be like.” Miyoko said as she pushed her hand down my bed.

“Well to be fair he is a commoner and commoners can't afford king size beds. But it’s not a bad bed.” Andrea said as she does the same.

“What is this thing?” Kam asks.

“I think that’s one of those game machine things that humans are into these days.” Jax commented as he and Kam tried to figure out if the game system worked.

“Is this what humans are wearing these days? I don’t understand your world’s sense of fashion.” Xin said as she was looking through my closet and drops every clothes after she takes a look at them.

“What the hell IS EVERYONE DOING IN MY ROOM!?” I yell as everyone just minding their business.

“Well, we were all worried. And we all didn’t have a proper way to say sorry. And it seems like Sara beat us to it by reaching to you.” Frey said as he was twirling on my desk chair by spinning in a circle.

“In a very~ modest look might I add.” Miyoko implied.

“Shush up! I just got out of the bath no too long ago thanks to you nitwits!” Sara said as she was giving off a black angry aura.

“Well we know we’re not wanted. Let’s go guys.” Andrea said with a smirk on her face.

“What?! I’m not leaving! I wanna spend some time with the boy-

“ALL OF YOU GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!” Sara yelled in a monstrous voice as everyone in the room teleport away within a flash.

I froze in place as I didn’t know she was THAT tense with everyone at that moment for hogging that much.

“Honestly those guys. Can they be more annoying when I’m trying to have a serious talk with you.” Sara said as she tried to calm down. I jokingly laughed it then she pinched my cheeks signaling that it wasn’t funny.

“Well, you can forget what I said earlier. I don’t think you’d-“

“Why not?” she said.

“Wait what?” I said.

“Why not. If that’s also what you wanted from us and me. All you had to do was ask.” She said as she cuddled me. My face turns bright red as she does because I feel her body pressuring against mine.

“Sara stop! They’re touching me!” I yelled.

Though she ignored me and we ended up rolling around in my bed. I wrestled with her to get off of me but she was far stronger than me. She then pins me down again as her chest is nearly exposed. I turned my head away as I didn’t want to look at her as Sara as she was extremely close to my face. Her hair smelled nice but she’s testing my both patience and my manhood to its extreme!

“By the way Saul I have a favor to ask.” She asks.

“What is it?” I asked back.

“How about we go out for a change?” she asked.

“wait…. What?”

Did she just…..asked me on a date?
