Discovering My Mythical Fate Book 1

Chapter Five

((Ryder))

I decided to go get the food myself at the moment it be faster since I've been there before. Walking into the restaurant I remembered something that had slipped my mind until now... Jake who is currently standing behind the counter. Oh well Tina wants food she'll get her food.

I walked up to the counter and said, " hey I called in order in for pickup, two burgers, a large meat lovers Pizza, fried mushrooms and four sides ranch."

He still hadn't looked up from the counter where he was writing, "yeah the orders almost done just waiting on the pizza." Finally he looked up, his eyes wide and slightly. "Oh you're... Ryder right?" He asked in an irritated tone knowing full well who I was and my name.

"Yes that's right," I said nicely.

"Where's Tana?" He asked looking around.

"Back at my place, waiting for the food for good reason she didn't want to come back here." I said pointedly

"Oh is that right?" He asked as he turned around the oven to take the pizza out, cutting it up and boxing it.

"Yea really, how much do I owe?" I asked.

"$55.47," he replied.

I took out $60 even though I knew for a fact he was way over charging me but I didn't say anything. Jake eyed the amount of money in my wallet. Jealous little boy he'll never have money like me, handing him the money I said "keep the change," with a snide smile at the end.

I put the food in the passenger seat and as I open the driver door a hand grab my arm stopping me. I had to force myself not to react with violence. "She in danger being around you?" Jake asked.

"What?" I asked turning to him, I can't believe he just asked that!

"I ask cause the large wad of cash, the expensive car I mean that car just came out 3 months ago and I know that BMW is a pretty penny, and well you just scream danger, so is she?" He repeated his question.

"You say I'm dangerous but decide to ask me if the woman I love is in any danger from me, doesn't seem like a best thing to do. But no she isn't I'd never hurt her and I'd never let anything happen to her, and for my money? I come from old, Old Country money and I'm the only living person left in my family. But I swear if you ever ask me that shit again or talk to Tana like you did I'll break your jaw. Now run along kid." I said in a deadly calm voice. " before I decide to tell your boss you charged me more than what my order cost and pocketed the difference." I added just loud enough for it to travel into the restaurant. As I pulled away from the parking lot I watch an angry woman come storming out of the door, guessing the boss, and start yelling at Jake, who quickly handed the money to her before retreating into the building but not before sending me a death glare. I drove away laughing my ass off completely worth the money.

((Tana))

I am currently sitting in my room with Norrix and Raiju waiting for Ryder to return with the food.

"What was my mother like?" I asked.

He looks surprised when I question but quickly covered. "Your mother was an amazing person. She put everyone ahead of herself. When she made her mind up about something there was no convincing her otherwise, so stubborn. She didn't do anything half-assed, she loved being out surrounded by Nature she had a way with animals they just seem to love her." He stopped he was silent for a minute before saying, " she loved you very much, she cried for days when she found out your future and what she had to do to you... Change you then leave you." He sat on the edge of the bed staring at his hands for a long moment for continuing.
