Chapter 100 - How to get to your Destination with a Demon

"It's not polite to have a guest wait,"

Osric said to me as a welcome. Not very pleasant but I was pleased that he talked so I just smiled.

"Your not exactly a welcomed guest though, "

I sat down at the bus stop that I dropped him off at and he sat down as well, tucking his long trench coat under him.

I closed my eyes and rested for a bit as there was nothing else to do, the cool breeze blew by and I felt it on every part of me, and with a sigh I felt like I could stay like this forever. I didn't want to open my eyes so I didn't. I felt the piece of paper in my pocket, my ticket to freedom, my be temporary but it's still freedom. During the time that I closed my eyes I must of fallen asleep because after that I found my head on something silky and warm. I couldn't get up while in that little sniper of a return back to reality from my slumber. I just fell right back asleep, relaxed and resting.

...

(Osric)

I can't believe this kid. First he drags me out of my comfortable living area, next he contracts me after getting me interested, then he drags me back and drops me off in the middle of nowhere asking me to wait and now he's fallen asleep. What am I to do with him? Though I've got to admit, he's interesting to say the least. He slept soundly on my lap out of exhaustion, not everyone can just fall asleep upright. What was he doing to get himself so exhausted? At this angle I saw but of white in his pocket that his hands were holding onto. I reached in and grabbed his hand along with the piece of white. There was something else in there as well so I got it out too. I got the white sheet off him and placed his hand back into his pocket. I straightened out the sheet and there, written on the sheet were three numbers. 946. What was that suppose to mean? The two things that I pulled out, they were flat, hard rectangle things. Both of them black and have the word Travel written on them. What?? I was confused and as I was still trying to figure them out a box like vehicle approached the stop. On the rectangle on the front there were numbers. Was this what the sheet meant? I stood up and stared at them both, they matched. Might as well.

I pushed the kid up and then held him in an upright position. I moved my self in front of him so he'd fall on my back. I then lifted him up. My eyebrows lifted as I saw him still sleeping soundly on my back. A small smile slipped onto my mouth, sleeps like a baby I see.

I stood up to take a better look at the box on wheels. The box thing stopped in front of my and the doors opened. How strange. I looked inside and there were many humans sitting in seats. I didn't know what to do and the person at the front was waiting for me but I don't know for what.

"Wait, Wait!"

A voice shouted loud and clearing with panting in between. Loud footsteps approached and there was a boy with a bag in his back. He rushed on and took out a rectangle thing that I had but his was green. He put it into the little circle thing and then went inside to sit down. As I observed the person at the front didn't say anything so I just assumed that it was normal. With on hand supporting the kid I took both the black things and placed them on the circle. There was a different sound then the other boy got and it turned red. Was that suppose to happen?

"One at a time,"

The man at the front said.

I separated the cards with my fingers and scanned them. I moved in and suddenly a jolt made me almost loose my footing. We were moving. I looked back to see the kid still sleeping soundly, I shook my head, why was I concerning myself so much with him? Pathetic. A demon such as me lowering myself to carrying a human boy on his back. I let out a low chuckle, I'm such a pathetic sight.

I eyed a free seat then sat him down first, holding him up I then sat myself down. I laid him down onto to wall. As the bus was driving his head was vibrating violently. I furrowed my brows and sighed. I then rested his head onto my lap without a second though. I rested my hand on his shoulder as he slept. My guard was being let down so much. This kid is going to be the end of me. Or the start.

I thought for a bit. Since I'm with no child I don't have an heir to the family. This kid has the potential to be a good head. Might as well make him my heir, now I just have to train him. He's smart enough to do so, definitely, I'll make a definite decision after I watch him some more. Then the kid who was sleeping soundly on my lap suddenly moved.

I looked down to see two wide blue eyes staring me. His cheeks were a bit red as well, was he sick?

"Did you have a good sleep?"

I asked him without much thought.

"Ummm, I guess,"

He stuttered out.

What a strange kid.

...

(Michael)

My consciousness can't back and I was shaking, vibrating, but it was peaceful. I opened my eyes from sleep and I saw a grey wall. I then turned a bit and noticed I was on a bus. I then looked up and saw Osric, looks like he read what was in my pocket. My mind was a bit slow but a second later I noticed it. If I looked up and directly saw Osric that meant that I was sleeping on his lap! What happened when I was asleep?!

"Did you have a good sleep?"

He asked me in a calm voice. Why would you ask me that now? Can't you see that we aren't in a favourable situation! I was panicking so hard that I stuttered my answer out.

"Ummm, I guess,"

I said to him, he looked at me weirdly. Why are you looking at me weirdly?! Look at the situation we are in!

Ahhh, I wish I never fell asleep.
