Her head was still throbbing after 3 days in bed. Doctors have repeatedly tried to explain that she was lucky when the tripod hit her and that she was released before it completely collapsed. she had in the first blow escaped with a small skull fracture, which was so small that it would heal on its own within a few days, they were more worried about the concussion and the slightly pressed ribs. There had been a great impression in the newspaper. Lisa was most graciously allowed to read it after the nurses finished thundering over the cover image.
"Sloppy stand work puts local girl in mortal danger" was written in large bold letters over a picture of Jack carrying her out of the collapsed stand. Picture was taken from an angle which made Jack look big and mysterious. In addition to her own lifeless form in Jack's arms, Fie can be seen in the background dedicating people around.
The article went on to describe how there had been renovation work at the school when one of the racks collapsed around Lisa. They have an interview with one of the workers who explained that it was some old parts of the stand that were shaken and caused the crash. After that it continued down and explained how the Morningstar children, who had just moved here, had reacted immediately and controlled the whole situation. It described from eyewitnesses how Fie had taken command and ensured peace and order, but Jack had with a lot of effort and difficulty pryed the parts from the stand away from Lisa.
Ha yes he has indeed with "effort and trouble pryed it away" she had still been conscious there, so she saw how that he, without difficulty, ripped the stand apart and how that he with his nails have ripped steel in small pieces without problems. the doctors said well enough that she could not trust any of what she saw, but she knew for sure that he was strong… far too strong.
Her parents had come in and visited her as soon as they heard what was happening and they carried wishes for good recovery from all the acquaintances. Most of the few she talked to at school had arrived on the second day, but on the third day there was no sign that her rescuer would look past and see how she was doing.
If he did not intend to show up, why did he not just let her lie under the stand? It frustrated Lisa wildly. The only benefits of being hospitalized were having time off from school, and then the good food. Some people think hospital food was so miserable, but Lisa has always liked it. not that she was often hospitalized, but the few times it had happened she had enjoyed the food, and again this time it was like that too. Here on the third night, the doctors thought she was fresh enough to come down and sit and eat dinner down in the assembly room so she would not have to sit all alone and eat. The menu featured ground beef and brown sauce, so Lisa was really looking forward to dinner. Down in the assembly room, the television was on so they could sit and watch it while eating their food.
There were quite a few children admitted at the moment, so there was a broad consensus to watch children’s shows for their sake. After a 4-5 of those there, fall on the tail comedy shows, came one on which was based on the stories of the demons from the mountain. The story was about an unscrupulous demon who took and lured small children out into the woods where after he drained them of their energy.
The hero of the show was then a young paladin who had come to town to save it from this monster. The paladin represented human engineering and our invention of abilities. "A normal human would never be able to catch a demon" explained the paladin, they are both fast and strong so we have to make a trap. ”He explained to the residents of the city. And in good old-fashioned style, traps obviously went crazy and it was more luck than sense that made the paladin win. The story was not very well told, but it still aroused reach in Lisa. Why could she draw so many parallels between Jack and the demon in the story, the only thing she could find that did not fit was that the demons always have red eyes in the stories. Jack having strength and speed, but eyes were not the same. Who has heard of a demon with blue eyes? but they were not only blue. She had also seen them as black. Now Lisa understood nothing. The only thing she knew for sure was that Jack and probably Fie too were more than just humans, maybe some kind of mutants? Lisa refused to accept the idea that they could be the monsters from the old stories.
When she had come down to her own living room again, she was greeted with something she had not anticipated. There on the chair next to her bed, he sat. He was sitting completely still and having his eyes closed, so it looked like he was asleep, but Lisa was not so easy to fool. "You can drop that number" she started "it does not work on me" Jack slowly opened his eyes and his blue eyes met her blue-green. "You are hard to cheat" was all he answered. "I thought you already understood that" she laughed gently as she lay down on the bed again. "What are you doing here?" She asked when she had settled down again. "I just came to see how you're doing," he replied quietly.
Lisa could sense that he was nervous about something. "Something wrong" she asked. "No just Nervous for what you have told people" he replied quietly and she could hear the shame in his voice. "Are you ashamed that you saved me?" She asked quickly and could not completely keep the contempt and sadness out of her voice. "No" Jack replied quickly and looked down at the floor, "I just wanted to make sure you do not rattle all sorts of weird things off you" he replied with a whisper she could only just hear.
When it was like that it was, he was afraid she would reveal that he was not human. "I did not tell anyone what really happened. I know you and Fie can twist people's opinions, but I have not told anyone anything and who would believe me ”Lisa replied as she started to drive herself up. "Who would believe that you can move so fast that I can not follow you with your eyes and who would believe that you can peel steel racks to pieces without any problems and you should not give me the adrenaline excuse, it has limits." snarled Lisa.
Jack sat for a while with his mouth open and glared stupidly until Lisa started laughing uncontrollably. "You should see your face" she got out between laughs. When she had finally fallen down, and had finished sore over her pressed ribs, Lisa came to think of the show with the demon and the paladin again.
"If it were not for your eyes then I would think you were a demon" she whispered quietly, waiting in excitement for how he would react. His face told her everything she needed to know. Even though it was only a moment, she reached and saw the shock and panic in his eyes. "I'm not a demon," he hissed, and Lisa felt a strange impulse to believe him.
"Don't do that" Lisa hissed just as loudly again. if Jack was shocked before then he was completely out of it now. "I could not understand how everyone else just obeyed you, but now I understand. You cheat, is it magic or hypnosis, how do you do? ” she asked energetically. "I I I .." Jack could not gather his thoughts at all. "What are you or are you? how many are you, I know there are you and Fie but who else? ” now she just rattled off. "Stop stop stop, let me explain" Jack interjected. "Well, let's start with the most important thing, what are you? you can not be demons, you are too cute for that and they have red eyes, so what are you? ” Lisa still asked all the way up and running.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
"So calm down though" Jack started and again Lisa felt this impulse to obey. "Okay I should, you do not have to do that trick to get me to do it" it sounded a little more subdued from Lisa. "First of all, I'm glad to know that you can feel my voice, that's what we call the trick as you so nicely described it. secondly, we are demons, and if you gossip to the paladins, I will have to kill you. ” whispered Jack. Lisa sat for a while chewing on it. "How can you be demons when your eyes are not red?" was the first thing that came out when she opened her mouth again. "We have found alternatives to our normal way of life that allow it." Jack replied, "If we do not kill our food, our eyes will not be red." He continued. "How many are you" it came gently from Lisa. "Just the four of us. Fie David Meja and I ”Jack replied quietly as a nurse came in to check on Lisa. "I guess all right," she said before spotting Jack and blushing at once.
Perfect, Lisa thought, then I will not get rid of her the rest of the evening. "Everything is fine here, you just slip on, on your tasks" Jack replied quickly, and the nurse turned and left. "Okay it was pretty cool." commented Lisa. after a short awkward pause Lisa continued quietly "just calm down I do not gossip about you, if you can live between us without killing us, then I can not see the problem" her voice had become very small in the end.
"So you do not want to try to contact the Paladins?" Jack asked in astonishment. "No, but in return I will meet your family" fig Lisa pushed out and became completely red in the head "why did I say that". Jack sat for a while thinking while playing with his hair. "It's not normal, only after a few dates you usually meet the family." he said before thinking about his words. "Was that a careful way to invite me out?" Lisa asked quickly. "Yes that was it" Jack replied quietly. Lisa could hardly be in herself, Jack had invited her out, but even though she was happy he should be allowed to sweat a little. "I'm not quite sure I understood, would you take me on a date?" she asked and could only just keep a half offended superior tone in her voice.
"Yes," he replied quietly. "Sorry what did you say" she asked and found her most snobbish voice. "I said yes" he replied a little annoyed now. "Yes what?" she asked, unable to keep the joy completely out of her voice. "Yes I invited you out" Jack shouted almost now. "I do not think I have heard a real question yet." grinte Lisa.
Only now did it dawn on Jack what was happening. with a big smile he fell to his knees next to her bed. "Will the beautiful Lisa degrade herself to go on a date with little me" he asked with a big smile. "No" she answered briefly and let him sit and fry a little. "But but I thought" more he did not manage to say "yes of course I will" she laughed out loud and could hardly be in herself of just laughing over his face.
When Jack finally found out what was really happening, he got up in the chair and they spent the next few hours talking and planning their date. They end up deciding that the day after she was discharged, which would probably be tomorrow, they would go on their date. the clock was approaching midnight, Lisa could not stay awake any longer, and let herself fall asleep. Jack took care and list out from the hospital and home to the others.
****
Lisa could not wait at all. She had returned home yesterday from the hospital, and her family had been overjoyed that she was finally home. There was a mountain of congratulations and chocolates for her. the talk at the dinner table knew Lisa would be awkward. Her mother would probably be incredibly happy, but what would her father say. They were going to have lasagna so the odds that he would take it nicely were good. He had always loved lasagna, it could also be seen on the top belly. She did not quite know how to do this. There was probably nothing to do but just start from the beginning.
"Hey dad…" her dad raised an eyebrow as the only acknowledgment that she had said something while he ate on. "You know Jack, the one who saved me from the tripod mountain" "yes what about him" he interrupted and ate on. * Slap *, ”now let go, you know she just got out of the hospital, after a bad scare. No need to play hard and cold, "said Lisa's mother. "Yes yes darling" replied her father and turned her gaze to Lisa. "what is it." Lise did not quite know how to proceed. "He came and visited me at the hospital, okheinvitedmetoeat." got Lisa fired off quickly. "One more time so I can understand that too" laughed her father.
"Jack invited me out to dinner tomorrow." she told this time at intervals so they could understand her. ”Yes…. And?" asked her father "were you afraid I would say no to the guy who saves my little girl from being crushed when all he asks is a date?" Lisa could clearly hear the laughter her father was trying to suppress. "I was a little scared that you would blow up, that I did not know him or anything like that at all." Lisa whispered gently, it was not at all the reaction she had expected. “What honey? Have times changed or is it not the point of the first date to try to get to know each other? ” her father asked her mother.
"Yes I should mean that" she just laughed as she took off the table. "And then I also think I would have a hard time stopping you from going on a date with your prince charming." laughed her father. "So you are not going to try to scare the life out of him so he never comes back." Lisa asked hopefully. "Yes yes, he get the whole arm, if he can not resist a little threats, then he is not good enough for my little girl." Lisa should be mad, but she was just so happy right now that she didn't care and jumped over and hugged her dad.
"Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you…" she began to sing. "You're just the best dad," she shouted before stroking up her room. There were clothes to try on and makeup to plan.
Elsewhere in the city, there was dead silence. Jack had kept his plans secret from the others, and now that Davide had just eaten and was at his strongest he had come to ask the wrong question "what do you have plans for tomorrow Jack"
if Jack had eaten his fill and did not go and starve himself it would not have affected him at all, but in his constantly weak state, got, the casual remark, combined with the fact that he was not prepared for it, lured the answer out of him before he managed to stop it.
"I have plans to go on a date with Lisa." total silence have followed that sampling. "Have you invited Lisa out" Fie asked, not believing her own ears. Jack considered right there if he could do 1 of 3 things. Either he should try if he could command them to forget that he had said it, but he would not be able to force David to forget it, with his present strength.
The other thing he could do was kill them, but again the same problem with strength right now. the last was whether he could disappear completely away from here, but he knew he would quickly fall back among the nomads. He would quickly fall back to all the power it gave him to be full, but he hated being constantly on the run. He ends up not doing any of the parts. "Yes I have invited Lisa out." was all he reached out with.
"YYYYEEESSSS FINALLY" Fie and Meja shouted together. "Jack has found a girl a girl a girl" they sang in chorus while Jack just stood there looking like someone ready to kill. "So what's the plan, do you need something to eat or something on the stupid?" Fie asked quickly and just managed to duck when one of the vases from the table came flying. "FFFFIIIIIEEEE" Jack shouted. "I will kill you." if it had not been for David's hand that landed on Jack's should, then have Fie should spend the weekend healing.
