《Eternity in the darkness》Chapter 16:Date- Part 1
Advertisement
The next day Lizzy, Bella, Andria, Aiden and I went shopping. Going to baby stores buying almost everything. We took a break at three o clock to get something to eat and then carried on shopping.
Andria was fun to be with and she was just like Lizzy. After she got to know about the date, she took me to exclusive designer stores right from clothes to shoes to accessories and then returned to the castle.
I held Aiden as we went inside the castle. He was a sweetheart. I spent the rest of the evening playing with him in the room.
"Swee", Aiden told showing me one of his drawings. It was a wolf standing near a pond. If it were not for the bushy tail, it would be mistaken as a dog.
"That's really pretty, is that you?" I asked picking him up and placing him on my lap.
He shook his no, "Its mommy," he explained scrunching his eyebrows adorably. I kissed his cheek and in return got a toothy grin from him.
"You get along well with kids," Andria beamed.
"I always wanted a younger sibling," I told her as Aiden scooted closer to me, "and being the only child you miss few of the sibling stuff."
"That's there," she told understandingly, "but now you're a family here Eve and we are happy to have you."
"Thank you that means a lot," I thanked her.
"I know it's difficult to fit in suddenly, but I think you're doing perfectly fine," she said smiling, "Come Aiden, it's time for your bath," she called him.
He looked away clinging on to me, to which Andria laughed, "Honey, you can play later after I give you a bath," she said.

He lifted his head up looking at me, "You pwomise?"
"Yes, I promise," I assured him.
"Okay Vivi," he got up.
"Vivi?" Andria asked confused as she picked him up.
"He nicknamed me," I answered her to which she laughed.
I left the room to get some rest in my room. God was I tired. When I got up it was eight past something, I washed my face and went down for dinner. On the way, I met the person I was least interested to see. Trying to avoid Megan I took the other stairs but she beat me to it stopping my way in the front.
"Whatever you're doing you better stop it human," Megan, said in disgust.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh please, you don't behave all innocent as though you don't know", she spat flipping her head back, "I don't know what you have done that Ruka and the others want you here but you better stay away from him. He's mine."
The feeling of telling that we were mates and her to move on was something I wanted to do but it was not meant to be known. At least for now.
"Listen, I don't know what you're going on about but I'm not interested in him," I told her getting irritated.
"You better not else I'll make your life a living hell. Even if you are, you're just a pass time toy that will be thrown soon," she sneered and left. She was definitely crazy.
I entered the dining room and took my seat. Except for Aiden, Sebastian and Ruka everyone was present. They had gone for some state meeting this morning. Aiden was fast asleep due to the exhaustion.
A few minutes later both Ruka and Sebastian entered. Ruka sent me a smile across the table and I returned it back with my own. Megan just sent me glares from her seat, which I decided to ignore. They took their seats and the food was served later.

During the dinner, I witnessed Megan trying to flirt with Ruka but only to be subtly ignored which I guess she did not get. At one point Lizzy almost choked on her food looking at it. It was hilarious. Rest of the dinner went normally except me sneaking glances towards Ruka. He had told that he would take me on a date tomorrow and I was super excited about it. My first date.
I wondered how it would be. I could already imagine the things we would do but on a second thought what he plans. Normally a person would go for a movie, dinner and then back home with some extra effects here and there.
Nevertheless, Ruka wasn't a normal person, to begin with, he was the vampire king. Moreover, would a king go to watch a movie in a theatre? I was in my room after dinner thinking about it in my own world. I did not have to tell Lizzy about it, she had figured it out by the wide grin on my face and was excited too.
Wonder how Megan would react listening to this. Well, who cares.
I could not sleep the whole night twisting and turn in anticipation, excitement, nervousness and the list went on. I dreamed of my date of how I had messed up my dress and how I was late. Talk about nightmares. Phew.
Usually, I would wake up at nine or so, on normal days, but today I woke up at six. What was I going to do waking up this early in the morning? I went down directly to the kitchen after freshening up.
"Miss Eve good morning," Lisa greeted me as I entered the kitchen. She was already preparing something in the pan.
"Good morning Lisa. Wow, it smells good, what is it?" I asked her the aroma filling up.
"Thank you, its French toast mixed with the spices and toppings," she explained it to me. Putting it on a plate, she handed it to me.
I sat on the counter not bothering to go out and eat on a table.
"It's amazing! Can you teach me to cook please," I asked her.
"Sure", she said happily, "come down here anytime you want and I'll teach you."

Manaseared
Adventuring is for losers. Only the absolutely impoverished or the megalomaniacally mad would stoop to graverobbing and dungeon-delving to put food on their tables. As a career it is dangerous, unreliable, illegal, and infinitely unpleasant. Most who choose this life have no other options. They're the seventh sons of seventh sons, the disowned, bastards, impoverished and desperate, and nearly always young. And they are, without fail, losers. Eris is an adventurer. Eris is a loser. Like most of her make she's a teenage runaway with no other options. Unlike her company, she isn't fodder for the meatgrinder.

This is her story, as she grows into adulthood, masters her abilities, and learns to care about more than just herself. Manaseared is an episodic fantasy adventure serial. It's also a pastiche of early D&D and RPGs in general, and an attempt to explore at what it might really mean to be a first level adventurer.
