Dark's POV
(Flashback Still)

The look on her face is a mixture of worry, concern, terrified, and intrigued.
"Well um... My name is Sasha and that's Penelope." I nod my head.

I don't really care what your names are.

"So what should I do if she starts crying like that again?" Sasha asks.
"First check her diaper. If she doesn't need it changed then make her a bottle. If that doesn't work then just give her a toy or make little flames dance above her." I tell her.
"Okay....how do you make flames dance in the air?" She asks.
It takes everything in me to not get mad at this lady.

She does not specialize in fire magic, stay calm.

"It's easy." I say in my normal calm and gentle tone.
I walk over to her and hold her hand in mine, palm up.
"Now think of your hand being on fire, but the flame is above your hand." She nods.
After a couple tries of actually setting her hand on fire she gets it.
"Okay, now push your palm upwards very slowly as you imagine the fire dancing around." I instruct.
She does as I say and with my hand still on hers she pushes her palm up and the fire goes up with it. It then starts to flicker and move around on its own.
"Wow." She says in awe.
"Now carefully pull your hand away." I whisper in her ear.
A shiver goes down her back before she pulls her hand away.
The small flame says there in the air; flickering and moving around.
"And I'm sure you know how you get rid of it." I let go of her hand and move away from her.
I then take my hands and clap it over the flame.

"So is fire magic your main?" Sasha asks.
"It is not." I politely tell her.
"So then what is it?" She looks so curious.
"I'm afraid I cannot tell you that information. I am only here to help you with your child." I dodge the question.
"Oh, okay." Her expression becomes saddened.
"I should be taking my leave now. I shall be back tomorrow to help you some more." I say and tale my way to her front door.
"Wait!" She calls out to me.
"Yes?" I ask as she steps in front of me.
"I never caught your name." She says.
"That is because I never threw it to you." I say and step around her, walking out the door.

I decided to walk home from that ladies house and I notice she lives right next to a pretty wealthy neighborhood. So on my walk home I see rich people walking about with their humans.
"Ah Dark? Is that you?" I stop dead in my tracks and look at the man who called my name.
It's one of my 'friends' from highschool.
"Oh it is you!" The man walks over with someone behind him.
"It's been a while." He says.
"Yes it has, PewDIE." The thing behind him peaks it's head out for a second before hiding behind him again.
He notices I'm starting behind him turns around.
"Oh!" He smiles.
"This is my human, Martiza." He says. (A/n Correct me if I spelled her name wrong.)
"Don't be shy." He tugs on a leash I only now notice is in his hand.
The human walks out next to him and I see she has on a tan skirt with a tan t-shirt.
"Hello Martiza." I awkwardly say.
"You can pet her if you want."

I'd rather not.

"Um, okay." I slowly reach out my hand and pat her awkwardly on the head.
PewDIE laughs.
"Have you never pet a human before?" He takes my hand and places it back on Martiza's head and moves it in a petting motion.

Not that I don't know how to pet. I'd just rather not!

She seems to smile a bit as PewDIE makes me pet her.
"See?" He asks as he let's go of my hand.
The second he does I pull it away.
"Well I have to get going." I say and start to walk away.
"I have some work to get to." He nods.
"See you around Dark!" He waves and makes Martiza wave too as I walk away.
Once I'm far enough away from him I teleport back home.

"How did the deal go?" Anti asks as the black smoke around me clears up.
"Pretty good, but I saw PewDIE on my way here. He made me pet his human." I say which makes Anti laugh.
He knows how uncomfortable it makes me that humans are pets. They just look too much like us for me to be okay with it.
"It was so weird." I tell him.
"Well sorry to say this, but I have to get going to a new job. It's a boy who is lost in the woods. I bet it'll be a fun one." He smiles and I wave to him as he disappears into a cloud of green smoke.
I cough a bit as he does.

Even after all this time his smoke still makes me cough. Not as bad as before, but still pretty bad.

•Next Day•

"Hello." I greet Sasha as I appear in her livingroom.
The baby is next to her.
"How has it been?" I ask even though I don't really care all too much.
"Penelope has been okay. Not too much crying. I also found out that she likes the morning news."
I nod.
"So I guess today I'll show you what to feed her." She nods and picks the baby up and we walk into the kitchen where we were yesterday.
