***Partner confirmed, Logging you out now for the night. See you tomorrow!***
I walked out of the room after grabbing my stuff and Damien was waiting for me in front of my door.
"Hey Onyx, or should I say Lady Lilith," He chuckled as he said that.
"We are not in the game so Oynx works just fine of course. Why would you even think to call me Lilith?" I stated.
"Well the first time your servant sees you or hears you called something different than in the game it can be quite disorienting for them. Also it took you long enough to want to log out. I have been chilling in the tavern waiting for you to be done with your little pets." Damien replied.
"They are not pets, they are the start of my seethe. Also Cain will have to get used to me being called by both names. He won't have to bother with it as he is to call me My Lady or Master anyways. So they can see and hear what goes on around us when we are not in the game huh. How does that work? I want to figure out how to contact Cain while I am at school to make sure they are all behaving properly." I asked Damien.
"Close your eyes, take a long deep breath in, hold it a few and then exhale. Once you do that think of Cain and what he looks like. Then talk to him as if he is in front of you. The more you create your bond the more you will be able to do. Your slave's trust is important when interacting with them. Apparently you can get to the point of being able to see out their eyes and even moving their body as if its your own when you get to a certain point in your trust but you have to be careful as its very tasking on them to do that. I have to be extra careful because I have a terran as a slave. If i accidently trigger his sight ability it can knock me out cold if I am not prepared for it. Meaning I will need to sleep and do it in a dream or I will lose consciousness where I am at. I made that mistake last night and boy did that hurt. It caused our bond to weaken too because it hurt Alfred as well which made him lose some trust in me that I have to now fix. So be careful, you both being the same race might or might not help you out. It will depend on how weak or strong your slave is. Only you and him will be able to figure that part out for yourself. I am still working on it myself." Damien replied fully.
"Ok, Thanks I will try it out later tonight. For now though I have to rush home I have less then 20 mins to get home on time and its a 15min minimum walk back if I rush a bit. So Damien, take care for now." I said as I waved and left really quickly.
I almost ran out of the building. I noticed that I was feeling light on my feet for some reason. I thought to myself how odd that seems but it might just be an affect of playing the game for so long and having to use my abilities so I brushed it off. Things will feel fine once I get up in the morning or get home and relax. I looked back and was shocked how far away I have gotten from the building already. It was only a couple mins at most and I couldn't see the testing site building at all. I was over half way home in a matter of about 5 mins. I heard laughing coming from beside me on my right and turned to look at that sound. Damien was right there keeping up with me.
"Having fun truly running? You are still a bit slow though I could of passed you a while ago." Damien said calmly with a huge smirk on his face.
"Truly running?" I asked.
I was confused by his statement. I am not one to run and I not not all that fit either. I was naturally stong and did my best to keep that up so I could lift things without having to ask foor help from my brothers or males in general but running was so not my thing.
"Yes you have some of the attributes that your in game avatar has. The makers of the game give alll of us that play the game that ability and allow us to enhance ourselves. We can only have what is allowed with our race in game and what our body can handle. I for one can run really fast as well as smell things better and I also have a bit more strength then normal but its not much more. I know I should get other things too being a wolf but I am not sure what they are yet. You should be strength, speed and charisma for being a vampire but I have no clue what your body can handle. Hey contact me when you get home ok. I want to talk to you a bit more about what happened today without others around listening in. Alfred already knows that what happens out of the game is to never be repeated to anyone. Make sure Cain knows that as well before we talk. Alright?" Damien said to me quickly.
I nodded and he took off the other direction faster then I can easily follow, he looked like a streak or blur running towards wherever he was going.
"Well now this will be interesting," I said to the air around me. "Lets see what I can truly do then."
I took off running as fast as I could and 2 mins later had to stop as I was home already.
"Huh, that is so cool!!!" I said outloud.
I opened up the gate carefully as I didn't want to overdue it if I did have better strength now as well. This was the first time I ran and was not out of breath. So I walked up to the house calmly like I was near by and wasn't almost late. As I opened up the front door my mom was sitting in her chair watching the time annd she smiled and nodded to me.
"Hi, Mom I am not late as I said I wouldn't be. I cut it close and will probably be cutting it close with my job testing that game. I might need an extention to my curfew though just to be safe rather then sorry. Do you think if I promise to come straight back home afterwards that we can give an allowance to the curfew?" I asked hopefully.
Mom looked dazed a second and then shook her head a bit, "I think we might be able to come to an arrangement with that. If you start paying me rent after school is over then I won't care what you decide to do or when. You have a key to the house and once you start paying you rent I will treat you like an actual renter who just happens to be my daughter rather then my daughter who is living in my house for free and has to follow my rules instead of paying me rent."
"Really I will have to pay rent? This job doesn't pay that much. How much will I owe you? I want to save so I can go to college as well. I won't be going this coming school year as I plan to take a year off to give this game testing my true focus but once that is over for the year contract I will be going to college. I want to major in mythology and become an archaeologist and travel the world looking for ruins and what not. Its my dream." I said back to my mom.
"I will charge you 20% each paycheck and you will pay for your own food. If you buy enough for the entire family then we can eat it as a family dinner OR You can eat what is cooked or buy it yourself and make what ever you want." Mom replied.
"20% oh boy is that going to cut into what I will be able to put back for college. Can we do 10% or 15% please? Remember, I have travel expenses back and forth to my work as well as food and drink costs to cover at work as well. " I asked staring my mom in the eyes.
My Mom's eyes unfocused again and then started to nod.
"I think 15% will be acceptable. Lets see what your first paycheck looks like once school is over and go from there." Mom said kind of dazed.
Again she shook her head a bit and seemed to come back to herself.
"So are we agreed? 15% of each paycheck for rent and you buy your own food if you don't like what we are having." She asked confidently.
"Yes Mom, I agree fully to that. Thanks, I am hungry and have food in my room for tonight. Good night." I said trying to act like nothing is wrong.
I gave her my best puppy dog eyes and tried pleading with her.
