Craig continues to stare at eve confusedly...
Eve:hm?
Eve tilted her head in confusion to his response...
Craig(mind):WHAAAAT?!Why did this became a thing?!What should i do?!No, the better question is how should I react to this?!An entity that can honestly eradicate not just me, but basically the whole world, yet she wants to have a normal human being as some sort of master?!What on earth is even happening?!Is this whole thing a joke, a prank, some sort of hallucination, am I dreaming or am I dead?! Just why?! Why in the world does she want me to be her master?! Is it just to get some sort of reaction out of me, or is she genuinely serious about it?! She was unconscious throughout the whole thing, so how did she even know what I did?!Calm down Craig.Just get the answers out of her. She's your...Slave, that means she should follow your every command...
Craig looked at her from top to bottom...
Craig(mind):...every...command....STOP!!!DONT EVEN THINK LIKE THAT!!!As tempting as that sounds you mustn't let that control you Craig!!!prioritize Craig, have self control!!!Ok, remember Craig, what your father had taught you, he raised you better then this...focus, get the answers you need...
Craig:...explain.
Eve:you heard my speech right, master?I said I'm your slave.
Craig:...that's what I mean, explain.
Eve looks at Craig a bit confused but started chuckling.
Eve:well, it depends on what answers your looking for,the truth or the one you want to hear?(smirking)
Craig:what does it look like, I want an actual explanation. There is no way someone as inferior as myself could be able to control you, your power is basically the size of the UY Scuti and my own being is that of quarks. No matter what the difference between us is overall. That it's so minuscule, that I consider it as a joke...Are you trying to get a kick out of this?
Eve chuckled before she begins to stand.
Eve:well,if you want to hear it I'll give it to you straight, you're the first person I've ever met that didn't judge me based on my race nor the way I looked, but you also defended me like I was someone you know, we've never met and yet you have done something I'd never ever believed would happen...Your different then the people I know, so, I thought of something when I was waking up-
Craig:that's another thing, you were asleep so how did you know?
Eve:it's because I woke up. Well,when I was touched to be exact.I didn't sense hostility nor lustful intent.
Craig raised a brow
Craig:and why should I feel that way towards someone unconscious?
Eve:well...There was an unconscious, defenseless woman in front of you, any man in your position would have taken advantage of it.
Eve chuckled darkly.
Craig(mind):o-ok, now that's a little extreme! Um...Well she isn't wrong...There are those type of people that would do that...sickens me to even think about it...
Craig:...that isn't something I would do, what in the world are you thinking?
Eve:the worst case scenario.
She chuckled again to which Craig felt annoyed, but a bit disturbed.
Eve:plus I'm an abomination towards all,or so they say, I'm a mixture-
Craig:between three races, angel, fallen Angel, and lastly demon...or is it four considering the tail, if you do have four races then I'm going to think your also part dragon.
Eve looked surprised, but impressed.
Eve:my my, your very observant master, perhaps I should apologize for placing my doubts upon my assumptions towards your intelligence.
Craig:seriously.(annoyed)
Eve was going to retort but she felt uneasy...her masters aura was that of killing intent.she shakes a bit in fear.
Craig(mind):oh dear, did I just made her scared...I didn't mean too.
Craig:something the matter?
Eve:huh?
Eve looked surprise by his quote.
Eve:what do you mean?
Craig:you were shaking, are you getting cold?
Eve:um, no, I'm not...
Craig(mind):how can you not feel cold by the cloths you're wearing, I know it's Florida but there can still be a draft of cold wind...is she even able to fall ill?
Eve was trying to get a read on him, his intent stopped when he asked that question, she's wandering what he's going to do next.
Craig:come on,I'll take you home, you can continue your explanation on the way.
Eve stares at Craig walking towards the exit of the crater.Eve didn't move.Craig stops and looks at her.
Craig:you coming?
Eve:...yeah...
Eve cautiously followed him as they get out of the crater.
Craig:so,your saying that I should of harm you because your some sort of abomination?
Eve:that's about their reasoning for attacking me.
Craig:tch,that's an idiotic reason if you ask me, it's just racism, and racists are as smart as a mentally challenged babies.
Eve looked a bit surprised by his response.
Craig:what's with that expression?
Eve:...it's nothing.just the answer I didn't expect you to say master.
Craig(mind):I guess she was mistreated when she was younger...Possibly her whole life until now...I can some what relate to that...Anyways, I should continue talking.
Craig:so, are you alright?
Eve looked surprised again.
Craig:you made that crater didn't you, I suspected you fell, or possibly been launched by how that man showed up and knew you, now that's a question I'll be asking later, you looked physically fine for the most part but what about your internal organs. Your blood and bones, are you doing ok?
Eve:...yes,I'm not harmed, I don't have anything wrong with my health.
Craig:that's good to hear...were you knocked out by any chance?
Eve:no, all I did was try what you humans call sleep...I was resting in the clouds, so I suspected that oger hit me out of the cloud and formed that crater, i didn't felt any of it to be honest with you, so I didn't wake up.
Craig:and yet picking you up is what awakens you from your eternal slumber.
Eve looked annoyed.
Eve:It's because I felt someone touching me instead of something.
Craig:you know that doesn't help your explanation right?
Eve:there are things that no one can explain master.
Craig:...now another question is that man you...killed...did you know him?
Eve:no, but he and I are, or in his case were competitors so battle was going to be unavoidable.
Craig:competitors?What do you mean by that?
Eve:have you ever heard of god?
Craig:yeah, a lot of things really, I'm guessing it involves that entity?
Eve:it does actually, you see, god has died.
Craig stopped walking, he looked at eve in her eyes...the right was green as the left was blue,his eyes widened in shock.
Craig(mind):god is dead?! What could of killed god?! There is no way an omnipotent being such as god could die!!!But...would that mean that even god isn't invincible? Or is there another reason...God could of been killed or...God could of left us here...I should keep that open minded, but...Is that what the whole spew was about, he wanted to stop her from becoming god...So he tried to kill her...he failed miserably to be honest, I know for a fact thats, the true reason now...Besides the whole racism thing but I can grab the bigger picture now...What did I even get myself into...Wait...Did I accidentally joined what ever this is?!
Craig:another question...is the competitors...reward for winning, is becoming the next god?
Eve:yes, the last person standing becomes god, the people from heaven and hell have decided that whomever wins this tournament becomes god.
Craig:and I assume it's not standardized to be like a normal tournament...No brackets, just random chaos, why not have them make an alternative dimension of sorts and hold it there?
Eve:because it takes more then one on one brute combat to be god, what choices will you make, what are the solutions to the situations...Survival of the fittest brings the best and worst out of people.It is basically a test.
Craig:and killing him wasn't the wrong answer?
Eve:it's more over on our-
Craig:moral compass.Basically on what we're taught as well as what we think is right and wrong...Our own point of views on the world based on experience...
Eve:...correct master...You seem to be taking it better then I anticipated...Your full of surprises.
Eve chuckled.
Craig(mind):this is not good what so ever!!!I'm not only dead, but the people around me could die within the crossfire! And what is with this solution?! People fighting and killing each other to become god?! That's a load of nonsense on its own!!!Anyone that's basically what I would deem evil, could become god?! That is just something I don't even know why they would do that?!
Craig:...a lot of discipline is what keeps me from freaking out...Now another question is that during the tournament, let's just say that a civilian gets in the crossfire and defends themselves from one of the participants, would they be consider a candidate also, or are they considered to be obstacles of sorts?
Eve:not really, unless they are a contestant and willingly participant against another...The fact that the people outside this tournament have no idea on what's going on...Your just a bystander so you don't count...
Craig:ok,and these chains, how in the world can I hide these chains?The last thing I need is people asking me-.on second thought, not just that but your appearance on its own is going to raise a few red flags,do you have any way of concealing them?
Craig motions to the chains and towards her appearance...
Eve:I am master, don't worry a thing since the competitors are invisible to the normal eye, only they can see each other.
Craig:then how did I see you and the green man?
Craig stares blankly at eve as awkward silence takes over...
Eve:...um...I forgot to turn it back on?
Eve blushes in embarrassment while Craig sighs in annoyance...
Craig:...how in the world are you this incompetent...
Eve:h-hey now! I can be competent master!just give me a chance!
Eve looked hurt by Craig's words which made him exhale a bit.
Craig:action speaks louder then words eve,we'll see...My final question is, are you ok with eating beef?
Eve looked at Craig confused.
Eve:beef?
Craig:you know, cows. Are you comfortable about consuming them?
Eve:oh, um yeah, I'm ok with it...why did you ask?
Craig:because the Bible stated something about people shouldn't eat split hoofed animals, so I assume you wouldn't consume it since your one third angel, if that was the case then I would start making chicken instead.
Eve:I see... wait, you're offering me food?
Craig:yes.
Eve:...I, don't really get it, your offering me food?
Craig:what, your telling me I shouldn't feed you?
Eve:no, just...
Craig:not use to it? Tch, I guess your in for a treat then, I'll get you the best meal within my capability's, if you hate it then deal with it, you'll finish what you started eating.
Craig started to walk as she followed him in shock but still curious.After a little while they finally made it to the house.
Craig:I guess the old man ain't home yet.
Craig(mind):m-more time for me to think of an explanation to give to him when the time comes.Plus she seems to not be use to kindness...How rough was her life?
Craig opens the door and went inside. Eve looked around in a bit of uncertainty but she didn't enter.
Craig:get in.
Eve:...uh...Yes master.
Craig:and stop calling me master, my names Craig, Craig Armstrong.
Eve:Craig?...sorry but I'm going to call you whatever I want.
Eve chuckled as she looked around inside.it had a modern middle class look with a bit of the 90's feel to it.
Eve:so this is what a house looks like indoors?
Eve continues walking around, there was a staircase as well as the dining room.
Craig:here.
Craig places a plate of chopped pineapples on the table.
Eve:pineapples?
Craig:it's an appetizer before you can eat the main course. It helps your digestive system, not just that, but eating some before a meal can digest your food with little to no problems.the acids of the pineapple helps your digestive tracks do it's job.
Eve:...how much do you know about pineapples?
Craig:it depends on how much I don't know.
Eve:...
Craig:wait, are you allergic to pineapples by any chance? Actually what are you allergic too?
Eve:no...I don't have any allergies.
Eve stares at it.
Craig:are you going to stare at it or are you going to eat it?
Eve:I...guess I'll eat it.
Craig:...I'll get to cooking,I'll be back in a few.
Craig went into the kitchen while eve took a pineapple slice...she stares at it for a second before placing it in her mouth to eat it.her eyes widened in shock...Craig reenters the dinning room.
Craig:I got done with what I needed to do, it's going to finish up in about-....what's with that expression?
Eve was staring at the pineapples for a couple more moments before she started to consume it all.
Craig:OI!!!LEAVE SOME FOR MY DAD AND I!!!YOU ALSO SHOULD BE USING YOUR MANNERS WOMAN!!!
Eve stopped and looked at Craig in shock...seeing the aura from earlier made her shake a bit.
Craig(mind):oh no,I've done it now...Ok take deep breaths Craig, she's just not use to this...Wait, why is she scared of me? Am I really that scary?...or did she forgot about her ability to kill me without a thought...
Craig walked to eve as she flinched at Craig placing a hand on her shoulder.
Craig:...I'm sorry...My anger, got the best of me...I should of realize that...Your not use to this...can you...Forgive me?
Eve stares at him in daze from what he said...
Craig(mind):holy smokes...I NAILED IT!!! I didn't say the opposite nor did she ran a way when I tried to speak to her!!! Oh man I'm so proud of myself for this accomplishment!!!
Eve:...really?
Craig snapped out of his train of thought to look at eve...She seems to be hopeful...
Craig:yeah, what? You need me to get on my knees or something?
Eve:huh?! No! It's good. That was just... unexpected...I never gotten an apology before.
Craig raised a brow before his eyes widened a bit.
Craig:I see... Don't worry... if you meet people like that then come to me and I'll handle it. If they wanted to act like an idiot then I'll educate them on what they need to know about you.
Eve:and what would that be?
Craig:that your a person just like me, no, like everyone else on this planet. You can think, talk, feel, act, eat, drink and sleep like anyone else here, if they think your something then I believe their just ignorant.
Eve looked at him for a second before smiling...A genuine smile at that.
Eve:...I know you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be a very kind soul...Despite your appearance.
Craig(mind):I don't know if she was complementing me or insulting me...
Craig:was that a compliment or an insult?
Eve:why not both.
Eve giggles before politely drink the pineapple juice from the bowl...
Craig:goodness gracious...this will be a long night...
Afterwards diner was served, it was something that made eve's eyes sparkle...It was spaghetti and meatballs with some melted cheese on the garlic bread on the side.
Craig sat down across from her as she looks at the dish.
Eve:is this what you call spaghetti?
Eve pokes at her food
Craig:oi, you shouldn't play with your food. Eat it while it's hot.
Eve cuts the meat balls apart so it can mix with the noodles for consistency...she finally takes a bite out of her dish. It made her eyes widened.
Craig(mind):w-wait, did she not like it?!
Eve:it's...
Craig sees her shake...
Craig(mind):DON'T TELL ME SHE'S SHIVERING IN DISGUST!!!
Craig:oi, what's wrong with my-
Eve:SO GOOD!!!!
Craig:...huh?
She started to happily eat it.
Craig:really?
Eve nodded in delight as she continues to finish her meal.
Craig:...thanks...
Eve:no problem master!
Eve told him with a mouth full of food
Craig:DON'T TALK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL!!!
Eve:y-yes master...
Craig was about to eat when he sees eve finish her plate...
Craig(mind):that was fast...
Craig:you want seconds?
Eve nodded.
Craig:go ahead, but make sure you save some for my dad.
Eve:yes master!
Craig:AND STOP CALLING ME THAT!!!
Craig sighs....
Craig(mind):...what will dad think of this...Hey dad I brought something that came from the holy Bible home! Not only that but she has the ability to end the world on a bad day!!! And she's my slave!!! Can we keep her please!... LIKE TELLING HIM THAT WOULD WORK!!!!I BROUGHT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE VERY WELL COUNT AS FICTION!!! He's not going to believe a single word...he might think it's my first white lie!!! That ain't good at all...
Eve came back...she seems to be satisfied...
Craig:oi, did you leave enough for one serving?
Eve nodded
Craig:then it's Time for bed.
Eve:bed? Like to sleep in?
Craig:yes...You never slept in a bed before?
Eve shakes her head no.
Craig:...follow me.
Craig and eve walked up the stairs towards Craig's room, on the left side was the door they went into.
Craig:you'll take the bed while I'll sleep on the floor.
Inside Craig's room was a normal bed, a closet, and what appears to be a tv with a gaming console.
Eve looked around in the room.
Eve:so this is what a room is like...
Craig:hurry up and take the bed, it's late outside.
Eve:yes master... you do know I don't need to sleep right?
Craig:...then don't do anything funny while I'm asleep.
Eve:oh? Like what?
Eve looked at Craig with a devilish smile.
Craig:if you do you'll be kissing your breakfast goodbye.
Eve:NO WAIT I WAS JOKING MASTER!!!
Craig sighs as he gets his collar off as well as his socks and shoes.After placing his socks into a basket he lays down on his bed...pondering on what might happen now with eve around...
Craig(mind):so many questions with so little time... Ponder and deliberate before you make a move... What is it that i should do now... Maybe tomorrow is a good day to learn more about eve and her origin before another crazy person attacks us... I think I should also stop her from killing anymore people before I get very dramatized... Anymore...
Craig sighs...
Craig:can you stop staring at me.
Eve:well what else do I do? I'm not leaving your side nor do I have anything else to do.
Craig:...then try meditating.
Eve:I'll try...
Craig:...
As it went on within the silence, the next day, the first day that will start everything a new...As Craig and eve rested a woman looking at the high school at night, smiling.
???:hmmmm...I wander how he'll react to seeing me again?...
The dark figure woman giggles as she skipped away from the school Craig goes too.
