NEXT MORNING...

RING RING RING RING RING

Ruby was woken up by her alarm clock. She grinned and turned it off. She checked her phone.

54 missed calls.

114 messages.

"Crap." Ruby mumbled. She stood up. Her legs were better. Her body felt clean. She felt good. She went to the bathroom and washed her face. She wore her uniform and packed her things. She walked out of her room and down the stairs.

She sniffed the air.

Food?

Ruby walked to the Kitchen and saw ... Archer cooking?!

 Archer cooking?!

"U-uhm." Ruby was in shock.

"Good morning. Go sit down your lunchbox will be ready in a minute."

"O-okay ... g-good morning to you too!" Ruby said as she sat down watching Archer cooking:

Archer finished up and snapped his fingers. He was in his original clothes and gave the lunch box to Ruby. She took it and smelled it.

"It smells delicious. Thank you, Archer, welp! Gotta go! Bye!" Ruby ran to the door and took her shoes. She wore them and opened the door.

Archer was standing there with his arm crossed on his chest. Ruby paused and stared at him.

Blink.

Blink. Blink.

Blink. Blink. Blink.

"Uhm, hi?" Ruby said. Archer scoffed.

"I'm supposed to be by your side at all times."

"Why?"

Archer gave her a 'Are you serious?' Face. Ruby smiled sheepishly.

"I'm your servant. You're my master. There are threats out there since you're powers are staring to show."

"My ... power?"

"No human can do a summoning spell without being powerful already. You didn't know?"

"I thought I was always an ordinary human. I mean thats the reason why my parents hate me... ." Ruby whispered the last part. Archer stared at her with his soft eyes.

"(Sighs) the point is that I have to be there to protect you."

"I understand. But you're too much stand out. People will stare and you'll get the wrong attention. So ... how-"

Archer dematerialized into thin air. Ruby gasped and looked around.

"Archer?! Where-"

"I can turn into a spirit. You and I can communicate telepathically and if you need me just think of my name and say 'Trace on. Proceed.' And I'll be there."
