A favor to ask

"How the hell did Quinn got close to an annoying person." Amyrtha said letting out a sigh

"You haven't answered my question yet." Alex said

"Just go and talk to Quinn and leave this place will you!" Amyrtha shouted as she loses her cool

"Sure baldy guide me to your Lord's room." Alex said

"Stop calling me baldy will you." Vorden said as they walked off

Alex looks around the place and realized that they're going on a path he had never been before. The path gets dark and darker as they walk, The air gets colder but Alex came to the conclusion that this is somewhat part of the whole vampire persona thing.

"Are we there yet?" Alex asked

"Almost." Vorden replied

'This castle is way larger than what is visible on the outside, I wonder how a person of almost the same age got a hold of this.."

"Maybe his parents are rich." Owen said

"Probably." Alex accidentally said out loud

"Are you saying something?" Vorden asked

"Uh I'm talking to Owen." Alex said

They stopped walking and dim lamps at the side of the door lit up. The door is being secured by some high-level magic that even Owen who has no physical form at the moment can feel the menacing aura coming off it.

Alex tried to touch the knob but Vorden stopped him telling him that touching parts of the door won't be a good thing.

"What exactly would happen if I touch it? And how are we going to enter?" Alex asked

"The last time someone touched the door with the magic on, her body gets deformed for 10 days. We just need to ring the bell for My Lord to deactivate the magic." Vorden said

"Bell?? I can't see any." Alex said after looking left and right

Vorden pulled the lamp that is attached to the wall and spins it back and forth. The feeling coming from the door's magic disappeared just after Vorden returned the lamp to its position.

"Cool." Alex said

They entered the room where they were greeted by Quinn who is sitting on his bed.

"What brings you here?" Quinn asked

"I've got a favor to ask you." Alex said as he looks at Vorden

"Vorden can you leave the two I mean three of us alone for a couple of minutes." Quinn said which Vorden followed

"Now what favor is it that you're going to ask this severely damaged man." Quinn said

"Remember Lyrica, the girl who's part of the company that's after me, we abducted her." Alex said

"After meeting a ghost I guess hearing a person abducting someone stronger than him is pretty believable." Quinn said

"Ghost?"

"Yea the one who beat me up." Quinn said

"That's messed up." Owen said

"How is Lyrica connected to this favor of yours?" Quinn asked

"I want your help in monitoring her. You see to lure out the ones who want to go after me so in order to do that I took Lyrica with me." Alex said

"Do I get something in return?" Quinn asked

"None really." Alex said

"Then let me think about it." Quinn said having Alex leave the room afterward

Alex walks out of the classes and views it from the outside as he wonders how big it is but no matter how many times he looked at it, it still looks bigger on the inside. He then realized how the windows are very few like there are only 8 considering that he just went to the 12th floor of the castle.

"I guess I have to read some vampire lore." Alex said

"As much as my memories are modified I think this isn't related to vampire lore." Owen said

Alex's phone just received a message from Quinn asking where Lyrica is.

"Do you think he's going to help us monitor her?" Alex asked

"I think so." Owen replied

Alex then sent Lyrica's coordinates to Quinn.

Alex came back to Matsumoto's home and as he looks around no one seems to be in there. Alex decided that while the others are out he'll just start cleaning the area to ease the boredom that he will feel later.

Alex started mopping the floor both downstairs and upstairs. He just listened to some rock music to at least enjoy the experience he is having.

'I wonder if they've visited the apartment.'

"Who do you think went to the apartment?" Owen asked

"Uh right you can hear my thoughts, my step siblings, they probably think something is up considering how we cleared god's city so quickly." Alex said

"Of course they will think that something is up, will you tell them about the personality swap thing." Owen asked

"Yea, they are trustworthy no matter how idiotic they might sound sometimes." Alex said

"Man I wish I have step-siblings in my built-up memories." Owen said

"Wait, I thought your memories are my memories but modified a little, then how come you don't have step-siblings in your memories?" Alex asked

"I don't know either, anyway just keep cleaning, I don't Danica's precious feet to get dirty." Owen said

"Then why not switch over and do the cleaning." Alex said on a sarcastic tone

"No can do." Owen said

Alex's phone rang for a second till Alex answered the call.

"What's up?" Alex asked

"What do you mean what's up!?!?! The last time we heard from each other is like 5 or 6 days ago when we ate at that restaurant and you puked after eating the cookie, and now you've beaten god's city and decided not to show up, I even just went to your apartment and there are a bunch of people swarming here, even Jonas the right-hand man of your crush!" Brian said over the phone

"That's great I think." Alex said

"What do you mean great?? I seriously get asked around at work about you! Everyone seems to ask a thousand questions and I am tired of answering them."

"Okay, I'll meet you tomorrow at dad's place." Alex said referring to the person who picked him up on the streets

"Who's that?" Owen asked

"My brother, Brian."
