"Hey guys , I'm back ! " I declared to everybody in the living room , cheerfully whilst dad followed me out from one of the ground floor bedrooms we just talked in .
Problems were following me everywhere but Samantha from Nowhere would always advise me about the reason why I was living and it helped , to an extent .
I looked like a problem solver to others so I always decided to shut my mouth if I was facing any problems because I wanted no one to loose their trust in me . Day by day , I felt like joining the enemy side would solve all my problems and then I wouldn't have to worry about defeating evil again . Of course I bought myself back to reality but I simply had to face that phase each and every day now .
Getting rid of those negative thoughts , I walked towards the others and sat in the middle of the sofa . "Hey ! It's already full in here ! Why did you have to make it stuffy !" Cora shouted playfully while some others , including Maria , giggled and laughed at the the both of us .
All of us including Cora , Nathaniel , Kate , Marge and Ben along with me , took turns explaining the world of the supernatural to Maria in detail . After we finished explaining everything quite well to her , she stood up , astonished , and said in a loud voice , "So you're telling me that you are a Berthim and you used just a small amount of your power in the mall that day ?! "
I nodded my head at her while showing a small smile . She promised that she would help me if she could , even though she knew that she wasn't half as powerful as them but I accepted her offer anyway and drove her home .
She hadn't expected me to drive her home so we had a decently awkward silence for the rest of the drive since she had already given her happy and quite emotional farewell to me .
She was the rich kid in our school so I wasn't a least bit surprised to see a huge mansion when we reached . We gave a final awkward goodbye and hugged each other before departing back home again . I realised that dad didn't even mention anything about Jasper even before Maria came . We had only explained to her about the supernatural existence and nothing more so obviously we couldn't talk about our problems right then .
I most likely would've rushed off to see Jasper myself if I hadn't reminded myself about Fighter , that was locked in my bedroom to avoid scaring the soul out Maria when she sat down with us . I decided to ask dad about what they found before going and finding out myself , with Fighter .
I smelled McDonald's from just near the gate , which I had gotten used to because of being supernatural itself . I could also hear loud yet short growls from my bedroom so I ran inside in a second , and I mean it , a literal second .
"Oh my gosh ! Rene please do something about that wolf - - Fighter , that's what you call it right ? He started that growling as soon as our food arrived . " It was Ben that talked and even though he had seen Fighter before when we saved ourselves from the forest cabin , it seemed like he was still at odds with him .
"He's just hungry . Get me some raw meat and I'll give it to him ." I said casually as if it wasn't actually a big deal . "You sure that it wouldn't bite you ?" Marge asked , a little bit concerned .
"Fighter's a 'he' and no , he won't bite me ." Taking the long meat roll that was handed to me by Cora , I headed for my bedroom .
Fighter had already sniffed out and figured that it was me and his food so he stopped making the disturbing noise . I opened the door to my bedroom just to find it completely destroyed by none other than Fighter . He jumped right at me when I saw him and I fell onto the floor , surprised . Fighter started chomping on his food right away , ignoring me who was underneath him .
Ben had heard my thumping noise I made when I fell down and came upstairs , to see me trapped below Fighter and laughed at me . He looked absolutely handsome when he did that that I gave no notice to the drool that fell right on my lips straight from Fighter .
Ben's hair was given the perfect curls and it swayed perfectly when he walked . Was it possible that I was falling for this guy ? Even though he didn't like Fighter much , he helped me up from below Fighter .
I stood up , blushing slightly when I realised that I was a fighter myself and just needed his help getting up . "Thank you ." I said , confused to why I bowed to him when we were obviously closer than that . "You got some drool from him on your-" He stopped talking and pulled me closer , slowly swiping the drool off of my lips . I looked down , unable to hold his gaze when he said , "You know , I have never seen you being unable to hold somebody else's gaze before , is it possible that you know , maybe has a liking towards me ?" He had his low voice on and that made my voice get stuck right in between my throat .
"It's nothing like that ! " I managed to get it out and was almost close to closing my bedroom door when he stopped me and said , "I feel the same way too ."
He went away after giving a confusing answer . I wasn't sure about my feelings towards him , does that mean that he might too have feelings towards me ? Someone so average ? Who isn't human ?
Fighter was also in the room with me so I looked out of my window , trying to concentrate on my thoughts than his chomping sound . Will I be able to handle an emotional task this time ?
The sun was blazing outside and I didn't even bother to open the door and go out , for I would have seen Ben there , just as confused as I was , about what he did .
