“Damn you”

"Why are we here?" Elis asked me when we arrived at the (now open) gate of Kery's. "What's so important that you have to come here, rather than bringing me back to my family?"

She was now wearing a white tanks top and thought black pants, easily showing off her great 'assets'. The word "Incredible" was on the back of her pants. She attracted quite a few stares. Since young, she had been regarded as a incredible orcan beauty. As for me? I was wearing a standard black suit. I also attract stares, by put I felt it was because of a completely different reason. Elis told me she got it because it was the only thing around and not damaged. It even came with a black tie!

"Well, to have fun, why else?"

"Can't you come here after bringing me back?" It wasn't like she had amnesia and didn't know how to get back, nor did she lack the money. She could just take some out from the bank. What she was afraid of was being kidnapped again. She had said that most of not all of her bodyguards were killed the ambush, and she didn't trust mercenaries enough to fire them as protection. Seeing my strength she knew I was the best option. As for trust?

"Why do you trust that I will bring you back?" I asked genuinely curious.

"Well, if you wanted to do something to me, you would have done it in the room. I could sense the strength of the barrier, no one was going to be able to come in. (You could have just killed Lois if you wanted privacy and made another barrier in the air so we didn't get wet or hit by debris.) If you wanted to use me for ransom, you would have put me in the ring along with that pig. That way I would have no chance of escaping. Also, for some reason I feel like I've seen you before recently. Whenever I look at you, I start feeling excited and anxious. Have we ever met?"

"No" Again, I didn't want to be seen as a savage.

"Then the only question I have left is, why come here know?" She looked quite confident knowing I would protect her until she got back.

"I have a appointment later on today, and I can't take you back to charn today, so to pass the time, why not come here?" I answered truthfully. According my memories, her family owned the city Charn. It would take 10 days on horses to get there, and only if we were lucky. I could "teleport" us, but I realized how inconvenient it was not have power usages (so I decided not to waste them). Plus, I wanted to experience a road trip.

"When's your appointment?"

"3:00"

She looked at time teller disk on top of the tower open the center of Kery's.

"It's 1:14 now. After buying tickets and waiting one line for rides, we wouldn't be able to ride more than 1 ride. Less than one if the ride is popular with a long line."

"Are you sure?" My memories also told me it would take a long time, but wasn't this too long?

"Yes. It's Saturday, so there are definitely going to be more people."

"Then what do you want to do?" I was very ticked off having anticipated coming today.

"Well, some food and a bath would be nice."

"Fine" I sighed. That sounded boring.

We went to my hotel.

"Wait why are you bringing me here?" She stopped me the front door and asked looking at me suspiciously. It seemed she didn't believe me.

"Because I own the place. What's wrong?"

"You own a hotel called "Lover's nest"?"

"Yes. I was thinking about changing the name though, because it's now my private residence and a nest is where many animals stay at or will stay at once. Any suggestions?"

She looked me in the eyes and said "Damn you"

"I'll consider that name."

"Ugh" She grumbled "Is there at least a doctor here?"

"I didn't fire any of the staff yet. Do you think a the previous owner hired a doctor? Why do you need one anyways?"

"Who knows what diseases those men yesterday had. They were very rough, so I may be injured. And I don't want to return home with a child."

"Oh, I already fixed that for you."

"Excuse me?"

"Yes?"

"What do you mean you 'fixed it'?what did you do to me?" She looked at me with narrowed eyes.

"I just did." From birth I had always just 'did it'. It came naturally to me and I couldn't explain it.

Not looking like she believed me she asked "Where is the nearest TRUSTWORTHY doctor?"

"No idea"

She looked very troubled. That was at least until her stomach started growling like a lion.

"Is the food here good?" She asked looking embarrassed.

"No idea."

"It's tiring to talk to you, you know that?"

"It is? How so?"

She walked in without looking at me. Feeling disrespected, my mood became worse. I followed after her.

She went up to the front desk where the staff member was sitting.

"How much for a room?"

"We are no longer a hotel."

"Then what are you doing here?!"

"The owner is still paying us to stay here. Not sure what's wrong with his head though. Closing us down to costumers and kicking all those who were here out. Not sure how he expects to make money. But as long as I get paid I really don't care." She took a draw of her cigarette.

I walked up behind her and used two fingers to pick her up and throw her on the ground like a piece of garbage.

"Hey, Chocolas!" I called to the bouncer guarding the door. "Gather some men, bring her to the basement and have some fun. You understand right?"

He came over with a wide grin when he saw who was on the floor. "Sure thing boss. Thanks you."

He picked her up, dangling by her hands, and walked away. We heard him whisper "You *****, remember when you treated us like trash because the previous owner took a liking to you? Whatcha gonna do now? Huh?"

"Please no! Boss forgive me! Give me another chance!" She screamed. It seemed the man's words had shaken her to her core.

Ignoring her I went took a master key and opened the first room on the left of the hallway. It was still nest and tidy.

"Have fun, call the staff if you want food or new clothes. I'm going to 're-educate' that employee."

She looked at me with relief I wasn't staying with her in the room. But there also seemed to be a hint of fear.

An hour later

I swiped the master card and walked into the room. Elis was still wearing the same clothes but her wet hair showed she had taken a bath (or shower). She had a whole table in front of her stacked with dishes and was watching TV.

"Sorry, Yamake. They didn't feed me yesterday and I didn't think there would be anyone else who would order food, so I helped myself."

"Not a problem." I closed the door behind me. "What are you watching?"

"Oh, a show called 'uncontrollable' it's about a person who escaped prison, but is caught by a talking dog, who we later find out is owned by the pope of his religion and then..."

I yawned. "Okay I'll stop." She said "can you give me a second to eat before we go to your appointment?"

I glanced at the time teller disk on the wall. We still had half an hour.

"Alright."

"How are your clothes still unruffled? Did you take them off before 're-educating' that girl" she laughed. It did sound pretty nice. Like a song.

"No." I replied. "For things like that, I don't need to sweat, rest or move too much. They usually move themselves."

She stared at me with a curious look. As if she wanted to pounce on me to find out what I meant.
