Chapter 20
"My lord, your daughter has gone back to her house with her friends." One of the men bowing down down to their lord . He smirks at them.
"Good. Initiate plan B." The shadow lord says as the dark aura surrounds him.
********
"Good to be finished!" I stretch my arms up before sitting down, taking the cup of tea from Martha. It has been about a month since the incident and we haven't had any problems.
"And I'm sad. Business has been good with you here. Just look at all of these customers!" She exclaims, pointing at the customers that some of the maids are serving. The guys had the day off but Sky, Max and Ross who aren't butlers. It's maids only today.
"Kawaii-Chan is tired." KC says as she sits down next to me. We are in the area with couches for the readers. Since nobody is here this late, the area is clear.
"Well your shifts have ended haven't they? Why are you still here?" Martha asks. I point at the kitchen.
"I'm waiting for the guys. Don't know why KC is here though." I say before turning to her.
"Kawaii-Chan is going to a wait for Aphmau-Senpai." She replies before yawning.
"No KC, you should go home and rest. I am fine here with Martha. Also Katelyn is waiting for your night." I tell her. Once a month, we have a night with one other person. Tonight is Katelyn and Kawaii-Chan. Next week is Katelyn and I and then the week after is Kawaii-Chan and I.
"Kawaii-Chan almost forgot. Thank you Aphmau-Senpai!" She exclaims before standing up and running to the changing rooms. She then runs back out with her normal clothes and her bag and goes to her car, driving away.
"Then there was two." Martha says, making me laugh. Ross walks over to us and sits down next to me.
"My shift is over!" He sighs in relief before taking one of the cookies on the tray.
"Have fun?" I ask. He shakes his head.
"The kids kept throwing food around. Then they started pulling my tail!" He complains, holding his tail that is now visible. We both just laugh. Max comes over and pulls on Ross's tail, making him fall to the ground before taking his seat.
"Well maybe you should put it away. You're meant to be cleaning, not making more of a mess." Max says, pouring himself a cup of tea and heating it up with his magic.
"That's interesting. A fire magic user." Martha comments, making Max smirk.
"Jess here gave me my magic." He says.
"I did?" I ask. He nods.
"You gave us all our magic." Ross says, sitting in front of me.
"She did? Why?" Martha asks.
"Well we wanted to protect you in return for giving us a new life. You gave us your magic so we could all be connected in some way. I got fire as you can see. That is why you cannot use your own fire magic." Max explains to me.
"Cool! So I'm the reason you keep setting everything on fire?" Everybody laughs at me but Max who glares.
"It happens when you make me mad." He simply says.
"You have anger issues!" I exclaim.
"Jess... you have three seconds before I kill you!" Max shoots. I quickly shout up and hold my arms out, Ross jumping into them in his squirrel form before I run into the staff room and out the back door, passed Sky who looks at us confused. Max chases after us so Sky just runs alongside him.
"Get back here Jess!" Max shouts as I take a sharp turn left. Max runs past us, not seeing the turn but Sky joins us.
"What did you do this time?" Sky asks.
"I said he had anger issues." I shrug as Ross jumps out of my arms and turns back into a human.
"Technically he didn't have any anger issues until you gave him his fire power. You warned him but he wanted to protect you so he took the risk." Sky says, making my eyes widen in shock.
"Seriously?!" I shout. Suddenly, I am tackled to the ground from behind by Max.
"Aha! Found you!" He says before picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder. He then proceeds to walk back towards the shop that should be closing soon.
"Oh, you are back. Well the shop is closing now so you should go home. I will see you tomorrow." Martha says, handing me my bag and walking away, ignoring the fact that I'm over Max's shoulder. I just stare at her as we go to the car and we start driving, me in the back with Max.
"Wait, who is driving?" I quickly look at the drivers seat to see Ross driving. "Oh my Irene! Ross, slowly park the car and-" I am cut off by the guys getting out of the car, Max placing me over his shoulder again.
"Ross knows how to drive... surprisingly." Sky explains. Ross holds up a drivers license with his eyes facing the opposite direction.
"Since when?" I ask.
"Last week!" Ross cheers. Max takes me down to the basement, not saying anything as we walk passed Red and Jin and we enter a room I haven't seen before. Suddenly, I am soaked as I swim up from the giant pool that for some reason we have.
"Max..." I glare at him. He smirks back at me.
"Don't say I have anger issues then!" He says before holding his hand out. I pull him into the pool with me and he takes off his necklace, putting it on the side of the pool before throwing water at me. We start having a water fight, the other guys soon joining us but Jin who just shakes his head and takes out some towels.
