My Undead Servant

A nice walk home

Wow, my life just got more interesting. Magic exists. I'm a mage and people want to kill me. Well aside from that last part, I'd say awesome. Adam thought as he walked home.

He had just been through a life or death situation, and he thought it was awesome. Adam used a different route to walk home. Since it was already night, the regular route to school from his house becomes dangerous. The route requires him to go through town.On the way, he walked past a grocery store in the town.

"Oh, hello Adam" A voice said behind him. Adam flinched.

"What the-!? Oh, it's just you Cecilia" Adam exclaimed.

Cecilia Ambrose was standing behind Adam.She's a year younger than he is. Blonde hair, wearing a white long-sleeved blouse, a black coloured short skirt, Leggings and calf boots. "I'm surprised to see you here"

"Yeah me too" Adam noticed the plastic bag in her hands. "You just went shopping huh?"

Cecilia looked at the bag "Oh, yeah. I bought ingredients and other stuff. I'm actually on the way home now"

"Well what a coincidence,me too.Want me to walk you home?" Adam asked. They live in the same neighbourhood. Also, Adam will pass by her house to get home.

Cecilia looked overjoyed "Okay"

"But on one condition" Adam continued. He put up his finger " I carry that plastic bag". She was stunned but eventually she made a smile."Alright, here you go" she handed him the bag. Then the two began to walk home side by side.

Down the road, Cecilia started to giggle " That was awfully sweet of you offering to carry my stuff" she looked at him. He looks barely awake."What are you talking about? If I didn't carry your stuff, people will think I'm a jerk for not carrying it. A man's pride can easily be tarnished you know. I couldn't care less if it was sweet or not, as long as I don't get on the bad side of society, I'm green" Adam said half heartedly.

"I see" Cecilia said looking annoyed. That moment, she realised something. "Come to think of it, You're still in school uniform. Why are you only going home now?"

Adam reacted like he had been caught red handed doing something shady. "Oh you know, I had to help Emilia with something at school. I stayed back with her until evening and we both went to a cafe to drink coffee" He laughed sarcastically with his hand pressing the back of his head. I hoped that had happened but nooope, she tried to freaking kill me, twice. Anyway, I can't tell Cecilia what actually happened. She would most likely think I need to see a psychiatrist. He thought.

"Well that must've been nice." she replied with a minor smile.

Both of them finally reached Cecilia's house. Compared to the other houses in the neighbourhood, it was the biggest. She lives with her dad and grandmother. Her mom had already passed away when she was young. Her dad works as a doctor in his own clinic. Her grandmother, even though her age is over 80, she looked like she barely made it to her 30's if you'd believe it.

They stand at the doorway with the door open."Thanks for walking me home, I really appreciate it" Cecilia said as Adam hands over the plastic bag. "You can come in for dinner if you want" she asked.

Adam refused "sorry but my mom already made dinner. Plus I think I need a shower" and your grandmother kinda creeps me out. He thought to himself.

"Cecilia darling, did you brought food with you? And is that Adam I smell?" a voice came from inside the house. That last part sounded like a hunter found his prey to him.

"Well that's my que to leave. I'll see you later Cecilia. Tell your dad I said hi" Adam said as he ran for dear life. You are not getting me this time you old hag!!!. Adam thought as he ran.

Four houses down the road is his house. "Man, that old woman really is dangerous even though she's young and hot" he said while trying to catch his breath. He took off his shoes and went in the house.

"Adam, where have you been? it's like 9.30, you're suppose to be home by 6 . What happened? you look exhausted. Wait, was Rosa Ambrose trying to seduce you again?" His mom asked.

"Nope, never again. I'm going to hit the shower ok. I'll be down for dinner afterwards" he walked up the stairs.

Later in the night, Adam lay on his bed. Today was something else. Oh yeah, I forgot. How I'm suppose to figure out this mage stuff. I don't know any mages.Except for Lucia but I don't know how to contact her. Well I'm sure she's still in town.I guess I have to look for her tomorrow.

That night, he slept very peacefully in quite a while.
