Chapter 13: Chapter 13

I study all night about the book, the next day I hope Louis wakes up, I sit in front of the book looking at every detail of the immense house where he lives.

- I can't wait to be part of a new family... It would be great to live here, I hope I can get it right.

I hear some noises coming from upstairs, I look up the stairs Louis comes down like a real king, my eyes sparkle and he approaches me with a serious look, and I give a little smile.

- Have you studied?

- yes, I know all about the book.

- So can I ask any questions?

- Make yourself at home.

- Okay, so I'm going to start.

- ...

- Who do we protect?

- To the contractor that the book chooses.

- That was easy, well... If I'm on to protect the book and the contractor and if I'm about to die what do you do?

- I'll give my life for him.

Louis raises his eyebrow when he heard my answer.

- What is the contractor forbidden to do?

- He should not sell the book and never break the contract...

- All right, but you can't stay with me.

He takes the book and gets up.

- But why? I answered all right.

- I know,that's why you should leave.

- No, I got it right I'm going to stay,in the book it's written that your master shouldn't break your word,and you're doing it,I'll stay here,if you want you can kill me.

I close my eyes.

- You passed the test, from today you will live with me.

I open my eyes and sit down.

- Was that a test?

- Yes (save the book) If you left I would know that you are not fit... but you stayed and challenged me.

I swing my ass and I go to him.

- Thank you master.

- I'm going to teach you,but first I'm going to give you a gift,here you're going to become something bigger,out there you're just a cat.

He touches my forehead.

- From today you will be an advisor to the contractor.

- I'll do my best.

- Now I'm going to test your skill.

He transforms and attacks me right away, I hit my back on the wall and I fall with everything on the floor.

- What's this test? You want to kill me?

He runs to attack me again, seeing him approaching my eyes turn red and I change in size.

I look at Louis who had returned to normal gently he strokes my head.

- You're stronger than you think, but you still have a lot to learn, and you're only going to get better when you're going to protect the one who can't protect himself.

- Earlier you told me I could get back at my old owner.

- And you can...

- But I don't want to do that, in the end I would end up becoming like him... me revenge wouldn't be the best solution

- Unlike him you mean, but you don't have to do that, I just came up with an idea to do what you think is best.

I'm going back to my normal size.

Zyan- Thanks for understanding me Louis

I'm happy to be with him.

We're going home.

- Go get ready... Take as long as you need.

- Okay.

I go upstairs and go to the bathroom and take a shower.

___

- What do you plan to do?

- Nothing.

- You know it's forbidden to fall in love with a contractor... stop messing up

- I know, I know more than you don't have to keep reminding me.

- So?

- I want her to remember me,and that in the past... that wouldn't be bad besides there's nothing wrong with doing that

- Just be careful with all this, I don't speak for you anymore, a human you know that your feelings get stronger when you're too close, even if you're being nice to her, without wanting she might take her to the other side, it would be better if she left. Sandra's already set up the house the sooner she's going to be the better for both of us.

I go downstairs and see Louis talking to Zyan.

- I'm ready.

- turns around and his gaze changes completely.

- Remember what I told you (whispers to the same)

- ...

- Ana you are worthy of being a princess.

- Let's go if we're not going to be late.

He walks up to me.

- Are you ready?

- Yes.

The same stratola fingers and we appear outside a restaurant.

- Was that the place?

- yes, let's go inside.

I feel like he's different,but I don't give a lot of thought,we go into the restaurant.

A few minutes later the waitress comes to meet us, we choose our order.

- Why did you bring me here?

- Well, we'll talk about it after we eat.

Our order arrives and we thank the waitress, we start eating and the silence is disturbing... I can't even appreciate food properly.

As soon as we're done, Louis orders a wine.

- Do you have some wine?

- I'm fine thank you.

I put some vines in the glass and have a sip.

- There's nothing better than good wine.

Is he doing it on purpose? I'm looking forward to what he's going to talk about.

The same looks at me and puts the cup on the table, your look gets serious again so sharpener.

- You're going to live in your apartment again, Sandra's already packed up, so you can go there now.

But you told me it would be easier to protect me near you... Why did you change your mind so quickly?

- For nothing and I know what I said, but now I just changed my mind, it's better that way, let's leave things the way it was.

- Did you bring me here to tell me that?

- Yes, exactly.

- And I thought it was something else... but I think I was wrong once again

I'm disappointed, but it will be better to keep the distance will be a better option.

- Well if that's all you had to tell me, then I'm going to go, and don't worry the apartment is up the street so you don't have to take me.

I'm leaving the restaurant.

On the way my eyes fill with tears, I cared too much about you.

___

I take a little box out of my pocket and open it and put it on the table, pick up the glass and drink the wine.
