Suspicions

The 3 teleported back to Conor's room and fell down on his bed. 

"Ho shit! Almost! That was a close one!!" uttered Conor,as he panted on the bed. 

[ Mana : 60/100 ]

His mana has decreased rapidly. Teleporting afar, took more mana than any other spell of a mage. 

"Yes! That was!" said Danny, whose heart was beating faster than ever. 

"I agree... That was scary!" said Hannah breathing heavily. It took them some minutes to realize that all 3 of them were laying on Conor's bed.

"Ummmm..."

Conor quickly got up and sat on his bed. Danny and Hannah did the same. 

"Conor... If it weren't for you all three of us would be dead!" praised Danny placing his hand on Conor's shoulder. 

"Well couldn't have done it without you guys!" 

Conor said as he got up from his bed. 

Suddenly, a scream came from the hallway. 

"CONOR!!! ARE YOU HOME???"

It was his mom. Suddenly, Conor's heart began to beat even faster than before. 

"Oh shit! You gotta get out guys!! She thinks that I'm a loner who has no friends! Seeing you two in my room will make her think something!!"

Conor shouted as he quickly locked the door in his room. 

"Dude! You locked it!" said Danny.

"You two! Please climb out of the window for the day!" said Conor as he opened the window beside his bed. 

A man could fit through his window so it was fine. 

"Well shit! Let's go then!" said Danny as he stepped out of the window into the room. 

Hannah followed Danny as he stepped out. Danny gave her a hand. 

"Sorry guys! We can talk tomorrow! At the mansion?" 

Conor asked them as they stepped into the roof. 

"Yes! At the mansion then! Goodnight!" said Danny as he slowly bent down and jumped off the roof into the lawn. 

"Goodnight Conor!" said Hannah and went to the edge of the roof. 

"Come on Hannah!" said Danny as he cleared the way for her to jump. Hannah slowly bent down and jumped off the roof. 

She was a vampire. So there was no possible way for her to be scared of heights. 

Then, both of them waved to Conor who was looking out of the window and walked home. 

As they did all this, the neighbor's kid, Jaimie, was looking at the teens jumping off the roof. He was a student from Calliberone High just like Conor. 

*What the fuck is the new girl and Danny doing in Conor's room? Since last week, they have looked like very good friends! Is this suspicious?* 

The kid thought as he looked at the scene. He was a self proclaimed nerd who always reads detective books. 

"Gotta keep an eye on you Conor!"

Jaimie said to himself as he looked at Conor through his window. He was playing a game all night long. And he always kept his window open.

Jaimie was a little frail boy who had brown curly hair, fair skin and he always wore his round glasses. 

Conor didn't see him staring at him through his window. He was in a hurry. Conor closed his window, got changed and rushed downstairs. 

Meanwhile, Danny and Hannah were walking along the street. 

"So that was a fight with a player huh?" asked Danny as they moved along. 

"Yes... This was the 4th fight I had!" said Hannah. She was a level 11 player so she had some experience of the game. 

"I had a close one there! If you wouldn't have jumped to save me I could've been killed!!" as she hugged Danny's arm tightly. 

Danny went red in the face. 

"Hehe... I couldn't stand by and watch!" said Danny. 

Hannah smiled at him holding his arm. "Yet! You did a brave thing! You're a hero for me!" 

Danny blushed more and more. Hannah was too much for him. 

They walked along the streets and all the streets were darker than ever. There was a chilly mist covering up the roads.

Danny looked at his watch. It was 10:30 pm. 

"Goddamn! It's so early!" said Danny, surprised by the time. 

Hannah was shocked. "Early??? Early how???" 

"The time! It's early! I mostly sleep at 3am in the morning!!" said Danny, showing off a little. 

Suddenly, Hannah slowly slapped his back with her hand. "That's too late dummy! Sleep early!!"

Hannah said to Danny. 

"Mhmmm... I'll try!" said Danny. Hannah looked at Danny's claw mark on his shoulder. 

"How's your shoulder?" 

Danny took a look at his own shoulder. The sleeves were a bit ripped but there wasn't even a wound there. 

"Hmmm.. there's nothing there!" said Danny, surprised by it. It was surprising how fast the wounds healed. 

"Good! It's a trait everyone of us have. All the players have it, so the people who use a system get their wounds healed quickly." determined Hannah.

Even though the wounds were healed like that, only some of the systems could recover from fatal damages. 

"Yes... But the jacket is now finished!" said Danny mournfully. 

"Awww... Don't worry... These things happen in a fight." said Hannah hugging his arm even tighter. 

*Is she drunk? Why's she so close to me?* Danny asked himself, scratching the back of his head.

The streets were dimly lit by the light poles across the street. 

After a 10 minute walk, Danny and Hannah reached their houses. 

"Well see ya tomorrow Danny! Goodnight!" said Hannah.

"Goodnight! Sleep tight!" said the boy and they went back into their houses. 

Danny's aunt was watching some night dramas. His sister was probably asleep. Danny quickly rushed upstairs to change into his pyjamas before anyone saw the scratch.

Clara was in her room and her light was on. She also stays up late but not too late. 

As Danny opened up his door, Clara heard the sound. Suddenly, she rushed outside and opened her door.

But Danny quickly jumped into his room and locked the door. 

"Broo!!! Open the door!" yelled Clara to Danny. 

Danny locked the door quickly. "Wait! I'm getting changed!!"

Danny lied as he quickly removed his jacket and hid it under the mattress of the bed. 

"Don't lie!!!" 

The girl knew that Danny was lying. It was obvious. 

"I'm not lying! Wait!! I'm almost done!!" uttered Danny as he took a t-shirt from his cupboard and wore it. 

Then he quickly opened the door. 

"So... What's up Clara?" 

Danny acted like he didn't know anything. 

"Why are you lying! And where were you??? What if you were killed by that serial killer?? Be more careful bro!"

Clara uttered to Danny.

"Ok ok... The party took some time! Although we had fun! Lots of fun!" said Danny. 

"Humph! Be more careful!!" 

Clara shouted and went back to her room. 

*Awww.. Dear sister! How the fuck did you realize that I was almost killed!* Danny asked himself as her sister closed her door.

If the suspicions grew stronger by the day, the time when Clara found out about the system was not far away.
