Chapter 9 - CHAPTER NINE: STRANGER AT MY DOOR

I didn't even bother to get up from my bed for anything unless it was to eat and bathe. I was still feeling sore from the battle with the beast and figured it would be better to kick back, relax and let the healing spell I'd casted do it's work. I'd managed to heal from the major damage and was taking care of the rest of it.

I hadn't called Ari and I didn't want to. If I told her what had happened last night she'd go into hysterics and that was not good. She'd even rush over to my house just to see how I was feeling. I didn't want her missing school to check up on me.

I hadn't called Cara or Damien either or they'd get worried to. After all that beast had nearly killed me and the damage I'd taken from that thing wasn't something to laugh at either.

What I couldn't understand was how that thing had been summoned with a zombie. It didn't make sense, especially since beasts couldn't be summoned just off the bat.

That meant two things.

It had either been a one in a million fluke or someone had sent it. But the question was who could've sent it. Sure there were inter school rivalries and all that but Angel high wasn't a school that would've rivalled anyone in the first place.

Like seriously, Angel high had a bad track record of hunters so no school around would have bothered. Send that thing to my school and I would definitely get why. But Angel high was just cruel.

I know I'm degrading angel high and all but it's the truth.

I must've slept around twelve in the afternoon or something cause when I woke up it was already dark out. Checking my phone I literally had a hundred missed calls from Ari and a buck load of voicemails too.

I winced at that, realising I had made her worry too much. I was surprised she hadn't already barged into my house and shaken me awake or something. I sat up straight feeling a bit stronger now but not totally out of the woods yet. As I stood up though I heard a sharp knock at the front door

No way that was Ari. Checking my phone for the time it was already nine pm. Dang, I must've been seriously tired to have been able to sleep that long.

Slipping on a pair of baggy trousers and a singlet, I moved downstairs and towards the front door. I moved slowly and carefully so as not to alert the person that I was approaching the door.

Looking through the spyglass, I saw a girl around my age, or probably younger, was standing there covered in a long coat. I didn't know if it had rained or not while I was asleep because she was soaking wet and shivering too.

Another thing I noticed was that she was naked. The way the coat outlined her features told me she wasn't wearing anything underneath that coat.

" Please,is anyone home? I need help please", She asked in a sad tone of someone who had suffered for a long time. I raised an eyebrow trying to gauge her emotional state but everything about her told me that she wasn't lying either.

" uh, Who are you? What's your name?", I asked cautiously yet calmly so as not to alarm her. She looked up finally and into the spyglass. She had sea blue eyes that were very beautiful yet contained a lifetime worth of sorrow in them too.

" My name is Myah. Can you please help me. I don't have anywhere else to go and no one else has bothered to even talk to me either", She said then added " please don't leave me here".

That last statement startled me a bit. I could get that no one would bother opening up for her but for to be this worried seemed downright ridiculous.

I was double minded on this situation. I didn't know who she was and the way she had showed up to my house alone was downright weird.

Finally after a few minutes of internal debate I decided to open the door.

The moment I did though she collapsed on me,making us both fall. She literally had rainbow colored hair and I wasn't sure if this was due to hair dye or if it was actually natural.

And I'm not gonna lie, feeling her breasts against my chest aroused me a little. I mean she was wet too and she was really cute so don't blame me for that. Getting up I carried her to the living room and placed her on a couch and sitting in the coffee table I pondered over what to do next.

In such cases the best thing to do was to check for wounds but she was naked and I really didn't want to take a slap from a hot girl over a misunderstanding. I thought hard on what to do next but nothing came to mind.

I looked at her reluctantly but looking at her unconscious form I realized that was the road I was going down and though I knew I could regret it at least I could console myself with the fact that I was doing this for honest reasons.

I took a deep breath and moved to lower the coat when her eyes shot open. Instinctively I recoiled, not ready to take the slap.

She sat up immediately, tightening her grip on the cloth she looked at me with fearful eyes.

" What...what were you trying to do?", She said in a shaky tone. I gave her a sour look.

" I wasn't doing anything. I just wanted to see if you had any wounds that needed healing. That's all", I said simply and in a cool tone.

The girl seemed to shift uncomfortably in the couch looking down shyly. Well that told me she was wounded but her look told me that where the wound was was not somewhere a guy should be snooping around. Even if he was healing her.

" I am hurt but...", She began but trailed off in her statement. Rubbing the back of my head, the situation was feeling kinda awkward. A naked girl and me a sparsely dressed dude with in inches of each other.

Not an ideal situation.

I took a deep breath. I had a girlfriend. I could be faithful.

" Show me", I said.

She lowered the coat and her long hair fell over breasts, which was a relief for me.

The wound was a still fresh and semi bleeding claw wound across her side. I looked at it suspiciously. It was similar to a beast wound but this was lighter, like it had missed her.

Placing my hand over her wound, A green glow spread over it, engulfing the wound completely.

One thing I've always liked about magic was that you don't have to mention long enchantments or say anything. It's imagination based in a way. You think of the spell you want to cast and then you cast it. There are some high level spells that would require you to say some incantations but aside those ones, you could generally imagine any spell though the size and strength of the spell would drain your mana.

Myah had a shy look on her face as I concentrated on healing her. I did my best not to look in the direction of her breasts, which were close to my head. She smelled good though. Like lavender and roses at the same time.

It took me a while to heal her though and more than once she moaned as it stung a little.

The reason being the wound was poisoned with dark magic and some form of anti-magic.

After about fifteen minutes I was able to heal her and she slipped the coat back on.

" Now that that's over, you mind telling me what happened and how you got here any way?", I asked her simply.

Shaking her head she said " Rudeus said l should only talk to a Hunter".

I grinned at that and sat back a bit.

" Well you're in luck cause I am a licensed hunter", I said smiling.

She gasped and sat forward, the coat sliding down to below her shoulders, exposing the top of her breasts a bit.

" You're really a hunter?", She asked.

" I won't lie. I am", I said in reply. She lunged forward and grabbed my hands pulling me close. We were now face to face, just inches away from each other. " I have a message. Rudeus said I should tell you that Jiro has returned", She said in a whisper

I didn't know who this Jiro dude was but the fear in her eyes had tripled ten fold when she did. So that was a clear indication that this Jiro dude wasn't someone to laugh at.

She placed my hand on her chest, just between her breasts and said " Promise me you'll defeat him", She begged in a fearful yet hopeful tone.

I'm not gonna lie. I had no idea what I was getting myself into now but if this Jiro dude was someone who needed to be stopped I didn't care how strong he was.

He was going down.

Looking into Myahs eyes, I nodded and said " I promise",

But first I had to contact Trisha. She might know something about this Jiro character.

But even more importantly, this girl needed some clothes. I told her to stay put for a while so I could get get some clothes from a nearby shop. From her stature, I figured she'd wear the same size clothes as Ari.

I returned with a bunch of pyjamas and dresses for her and she gasped at the numerous number of clothes.

She tried some of them on and settled for a blue set of pyjamas. Unfortunately the top was too tight and a button snapped just above her breasts smacking me in the forehead.

I decided to leave it as it was since one it was sexy and two because it didn't reveal much anyway.

When it came to sleeping accommodations however she insisted on sleeping next to me in my bed. I could see that she hated and feared being alone.

" Listen Myah. It's not so cool for a guy and

girl who aren't related to sleep in the same bed", I said, rubbing the back of my head.

" But it's not like you'd try anything on me would you. And I wouldn't try to seduce you or anything. Please",. she replied,clasping her hands together.

" How about I sleep on the floor and you take the bed", I offered.

" I want to sleep next to you. I'm afraid to stay all by myself even if we're in the same place. Please", She said, her eyes watering

Truth be told I hadn't even slept on the same bed as Ari let alone any other girl or female.

I looked at her blue, begging eyes and quivering lip.

With a heavy sigh, I said ". Fine. You can sleep next to me".

For the first time since she showed up to my house, she smiled a bit and climbed in next to me.

She fell asleep quickly, leaving me to my thoughts.

And probably hers.
