Chapter 22 · Wake-up

So, Zoe said that she's busy today so ya get to hang out with me. I don't really know how you know Zoe and what you do for fun but I have my group coming round later so you can stay here and talk to them. I think their an ok bunch. Not that you have many choices," Bane suddenly told me. Looking at me dead in the eye "if you try to sneak out I will drag you back kicking if I must."

"Um, ok I guess I don't have a choice," I whisper my mind now on the now and not... on that.

"I'm just saying how it is. Do you drink?" Bane asks with her voice sleepy again and looking more to drink the coffee she just made.

"No I think it tastes horrible," I whisper. I had always found drinks to taste bad so much that even the sweetest drink I found hard to drink. The only reasons I ever had a drink was on a few of the date I went on. The dates never seemed to go well ever so maybe it was a psychological thing.

"Same, oh well at least Odin will like ya," Bane replied.

"Like the god Odin," I asked. For all, I new maybe gods were just people with magic. It made sense.

"Yer, I think he was named after that guy," Bane said. Making me feel a bit stupid for thinking that a person might really be a god. To be fair it had been, what, a day since I found magic was a thing so.

God it felt longer, Zoe had dragged me everywhere and I still felt my muscle ack just thinking about all that walking. I say they're trying not to think about it.

It was just too much to think about. It felt odd. My life had been so dull before and now it was filled with odd people and so much to explore. Maybe I should get out more. I didn't beforehand but now their so much I don't know. I would have to ask about it. Maybe Zoe will help me out with this new feeling. My feeling of... freedom.

'BUZZ BUZZ' came a loud buzzing noise from Zoe room.

"What is that," I asked.

"Zoe alarm," Bane muttered before walking into Zoe room to tell her to get up and as Bane said "turn that god dam alarm off".

It took about an hour for zoe to get presentable in a new suit that somehow still ended up looking ill fitting and messy on her. It then took her another few minute to convince that I wasn't going to wander off. It not like I'm a little kid dam it.

"So I'm going to head off soon but first," Zoe said turning to Bane "don't let your friends be a bad influence on my Jade okay"

"I will try," Bane trying to sound reassured but in my mind failing.

Slowly Zoe went leaving me at the flat with Bane.
