《Chasing the nerd ✓》Chapter 5|Rachel
Advertisement
"Danny?" I knocked lightly the door at Dad's office where my brother was working, I assumed.
"Yeah, come in." He said slowly and I opened the door. He was in the middle of what it seemed like a hundred thousand invoices and paperwork spread all over Dad's desk. He looked exhausted, dark circles forming under his eyes, his hair were out of order and he had unbuttoned his dress shirt a little.
"You busy?" I said carefully still standing in the door. I felt unease and I kind of regretted to disturb him for something so stupid.
"Yeah, always. You know, I might hire someone to help me with these things. I feel like they choke me. Anyway, come in I could use a break. What's up?" he stood up and purred himself a drink from dad's stash of whiskey. They both loved it. I,on the other hand, couldn't bear it at all. I was more into the sweet kind of alcohol.
"See, I kind of did a stupid thing.." I dragged my sentence a little too much on purpose and started biting the inside of my cheek.
He sat down again and motioned me to sit as well. Then he crossed his arms over the papers in front of him, squinting at me.
"What kind of stupid thing?" he asked suspicious. I have done a lot of stupid things over the years, so I can't hold against him that reaction.
"I may have crashed the car." I looked at my feet, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He signed annoyed.
"Again?"
"Yeah."
"Ok then. I see you didn't get hurt. Wait, is Tina ok?" he said suddenly, his voice full of concern and I saw something else flash into to his clear gray eyes, just for a minute, but I couldn't tell what it was exactly.

"Yes, she is fine. She maybe a bit mad at me, as she says I'm playing fast and loose with her life, but other than that she is okay. A little too bitchy, but okay."
"Oh, okay, good. So, was it a tree that came out of nowhere again?" he exhaled relieved and started shuffling through the pages in front of him, waiting to hear what dumb excuse I'll come up with this time.
"See, that's the thing." I started slowly "I kind of hit another car."
"What?"
"Well, apparently there was a stop sign I didn't see so.." I got up and paced nervously up and down mixing and remixing my fingers.
"Rachel!" he said a little too loud and I stoped in my tracks. Oh, I hate it when Danny is mad at me.
"Is the driver of the other car okay or the "stupid thing" you did is that you sent them to the hospital?" he said mockingly, getting worked up.
"No, no. he is fine." I waved him off and saw him relax a bit more.
"Alright, whatever damage you have caused to his car the insurance will pay for it. As long as you didn't cause any physical damage on him, you're fine. No need to worry. You scared me though."
"That's the thing though. He refused to let me pay for it. Apparently he doesn't want anything to do with me." I threw my hands up in the air and sat back down.
Danny looked at me for a moment deep in thought.
"Who is this guy?"
"I don't know! That's why I came to you. I need your help. I took a photo of his license plate. Could you please track him down and let me know who he is? I wanna right my wrong. He didn't strike me like a guy that can easily afford that damage. Plus I bet the parts he needs are expensive judging by his car." I blurted out quickly, almost in one breath.

Now we're getting somewhere.
"What kind of car did he have?" Danny asked scratching his chin.
"Um, I don't know. Let me check." I looked through my phone to find the photo with his license plate showing it to Danny.
"An Impala? Well,maybe you are wrong. That's a really classic car. Maybe he can afford it." He looked at my phone and wrote down the number anyway.
"It doesn't matter, Danny. He shouldn't pay for my mistakes. I am a responsible woman and I'm taking the blame. Could you please find him?" I sounded a bit frustrated.
He chuckled a little watching me huffing and puffing, but nods.
"You sure that's the only reason you wanna find him?" he said suddenly, a smirk forming on his lips. Damn, he struck a nerve. He is so intuitive!
"Yes, what else?" I shuttered turning my back at him, so he doesn't see me blush a little.
"I don't know, maybe you are in need of an adventure." He said full of innuendo laughing.
"Just find him." I walked away hearing him laugh again."Shut up!" I yelled annoyed before stepping out of the office.
"Love you!" I heard him yell when I shut the door behind me and I smiled.

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
