Chapter 8 - Good night

The night has come to Argeș, and on this night, I have to leave my "part-time job" and head back to my home and live the normal life who I was supposed to do. But, being in the city and my house is situated two kilometers, I have to take the bus for some reason. One, I do not have eighteen years old to afford a driver's license. Two, Alexandra got another mission, but this time in Pitești, and she took the van with her because the distance is approximately fifteen kilometers. And the third reason is that I couldn't afford a taxi to drive there because the taxi fee and bus fee are much different. The bus driver charges from you three RON, and the taxi driver, has charged me almost every time I took the taxi, twelve RON. So, I have to take the bus, and luckily, at this hour there aren't many people who will have to take the bus.

I arrived at the bus station, and there I am waiting for the next bus who is about to come in a few minutes. While I am waiting for the bus to come, I have observed a few of my classmates who are on the other side of the road and they are walking together in the apartment who is still under construction, the one who is at a few steps from the stadium. Those classmates entered the building and they are climbing the stairs who are barely finished. They didn't saw me waiting in the bus station which is a dumb move for a people who are doing trespassing, you have to be careful when you entered a building that is under construction and to look around if there is a guardian at some store or a policeman who is patrolling the area. I was thinking to go there and see what they are doing, but I have decided to leave them alone because this thing ain't my business... for now. Plus, I am tired after what happened today, and whatever they are doing, are probably just smooching like every ordinary horny teenager.

In a few minutes, a little minibus came to the station where I stay to wait for him. Before I was about to enter the bus I had to take a look at the destination name which is written on a piece of paper and wrapped in a protective foil that is used in files and kept on the windshield of the minibus, on the left side of the driver. That piece of paper is written "Oești" which is the bus who could help me arrive at that location. When the minibus has stopped, I have entered the bus, I am handing three RON to the bus driver and I am going to sit at a place of the bus.

Luckily, there aren't that many passengers here, just two. I took a chair from the left side of the window and I sit there for about fifteen minutes until we reached the station closest to the house, the abandoned hotel.

Fifteen minutes later, the minibus bus arrives at the destination and I left the bus, thanking the bus driver for helping me arrive at my destination safely. When I get off from the minibus, I have crossed the street and headed home. To arrive there, I had to walk on the street which is leading to the hydropower who was built a few decades ago, from the communist era to be precise, and then turn on the left side like I always do when I am coming back from the school. After I have done those directions, I have arrived at my home, but, right when I was about to enter my house, I have felt a presence that is looking at me. I have used my werewolf smelling abilities and I have turned around.

"Jacob?" I ask turning around and looking at Jacob who is coming closer to me. "What are you doing here?"

"Well... I just came here to see if everything it is alright." says Jacob looking cautions around us.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, Lydia... You see, I have heard some rumors that in this place it could be an eagle who has started to come to this area."

"And how is that bad?"

"That eagle is from the family Eaglo-Mania."

"What family?"

"The family formed of eagles and who are leaving dimensions and coming in almost every dimension to cause panic, destruction, and terror."

"Like that time in eleven September?"

"No that time. That one was just a crazy immortal who is now arrested and using as a torture instrument in the world of Mad Scientists. Anyway, I just come here to be sure there aren't any eagle like that." Jacob was about to leave, but then I have decided to use my smell abilities and detect that eagle, just to help him.

I don't know what kind of smell has that eagle but when I have started my smelling abilities, I sensed a bird who is flying from a few hundred meters from my house in direction north-east. I told Jacob about where it could the eagle and this one ghost told me.

"Thanks. It was really a good idea to come to your house."

"Alright..." I say to him not being angry he is using me as a detector of monsters. "Just go and catch him already."

"I am on it!" says Jacob started to fly much faster to that eagle and after that I have decided to go to my house, but right when I was about to enter my house, I just to a realization. "Wait! Jacob cannot contact any living thing!... Well, I am going to deal with that in the next day."

I am entering my house, I took my shoes off, and heading to my room, where I am going to take a good night sleep, but right when I was about to head at my room, my mother came out of the kitchen and looked at me right when I was about to enter my room.

"Do you know what is the time, mister?"

"Um... I just had to help a friend of mine at doing homework." I answered to my mom.

"Friend? Does your friend it a girl or a boy?"

"Mom. Please. It is a girl, like me."

"Oh yeah... And what kind of homework you have done?"

"Jeez Mom, it was just homework at Franch."

"Franch?... Interesting." says the mom who has started to smile at me and heading back to her kitchen.

The last sentence she said to me was something I will never understand how, but probably later when I am going to be alone and thinking at some embarrassing moments in my whole life. Anyway, I am entering my room, I closed the door after I entered, I turn on the light by pressing the switch and throwing my light backpack at my desk, and going to my wardrobe, and take from there a pair of pink and clean pajamas. After I have put the pajamas on me, I left my room and heading to the kitchen, there I took a banana and started eating it, while I looked at my mom who is preparing the food for tomorrow.

"Are you really going to eat a banana before bed?" says my mom looking angry at me.

"What? You know I like fruits, Mom." I say to my mother.

"Yeah, I know." says my Mom who has decided to let me eat my banana alone and going to the living room and watching the latest episode of her Spanish drama.

As long as my mother watches this soap opera, which I don't think she knows what the actors there say, I go to my room, and when I get into it, I throw myself in the bed I've left so since I went to school, wrapped myself in a thick duvet and opened my smartphone to surf the Internet for an almost an hour until the sleep has kicked in.
