Fifteen Journey - Chapter 45

A/N: Woot! Chapter 45 already! I’m ultra-fast!

Chapter 45 – The Unpredictable

They looked perplexed at Matt like in asking for an explanation.
“If a player orders you to be in his crew, the only thing you can do is obey his orders, right?”
Rick did not know what to say. He had a lot of questions to ask Matt but Fred was the first.
“Where did you get that sword?”
Matt turned at him, like seeing him for the first time. “You could say family treasure…”
Noticing many people had questions to ask, except for Sarith, who was congratulating Rick, and Ashley, who was looking worried at Mike, Matt decided to clear what he had in mind.
“So, I must return and report your location to the guy who is still playing.”
The guy? One guy only? Rick was confused but Matt walked away.
“Wait,” Cassey asked. “Please stay with us!”
He smiled at her. “Sorry pretty blond girl. I must go.” And he kissed her in the cheek, causing her to blush, also provoking Sarith’s giggles. He then turned at Rick.
“I will not wish you luck because I am not willing to your victory. Bye bye all!”
Confused, all the teenagers watched Matt leaving, as the morning sun appeared in the horizon line.

“I am gonna kill you!”
Katie was desperate. Vince had ordered her to collect food for his dragon while he was gathering information on something else he did not tell her about. However that wasn’t the worst: his dragon needed a great portion of food. Painfully, she would bring the food to Mrs. Ride, the name of the dragon. Who’d name Mrs. Ride his pet?
It was dark already, so her job could be finally over. She’d always stick close to the dragon, that way she didn’t need a blanket to warm her up. Vince usually appeared very late at night, so Katie did all the meals by herself. And she was improving.
There was also another great thing about being with Vince, which she couldn’t explain. The feeling of partnership as she had toold him a lot about her and Vince had improved a lot, since he said more things now than before.
But that night she couldn’t sleep, so she waited for Vince’s return. After some minutes of frustration, he finally appeared.
“Still awake?” he asked heading to the food.
“Can’t sleep… What have you found today?”
He looked at her in the corner of his eye while eating some noodles. “A Tourch ex-player.”
“Really?” she asked worried.
He nodded. “I think she was heading to the place where I found magic the other day.”
“Did you get to speak with her?” she asked worried.
“No, she was in a hurry. Anyway, we have nothing to do with that…” he paused for a bit. “Mmm, the noodles are better than usual.
Katie blushed. “Ahm, thanks…”
As soon as Vince finished his meal, he continued his report.
“Actually, I found Rick and the robotics guy the other day.” Katie’s attention was recovered. “They were commenting something on fourth clovers…”
Katie laughed. “Those guys are hopeless…”
Vince looked at the blue moon. “I don’t think Rick will succeed in the games. The amount of magic I’ve tracked lately was enormous; with a sword he cannot beat that.”
“What are you planning on doing?” she asked nervously.
He smiled. “Nothing at all. Just be a normal spectator.”
