"I think I've heard that name before," Damon mumbles. I lifted my head to look at his confused green eyes. I remember telling him about my family's servant who saved my life.
"Aluncina's the one I told you about." I answered the question in his head. His eyes widened. He landed his eyes on me and back to the seashell he's currently holding right now.
"Where can we find her then?"
"I don't know. The last time I saw her, she admitted on escaping with me to the human world. I was so occupied to think about that I lost contact with her," I replied uncertainly. I am not sure anymore. "You don't think she's the menace who stole God Gaviel's bludgeon, right?" I asked, trying to recruit someone that we'll be on the same page as me.
Foxxy's eyes are telling me otherwise. He thinks Aluncina's the culprit. But that just doesn't make any sense. Aluncina has been good to me and she even saved me from death. Why would she bother doing all that if her plan is to destroy Vortaxia? Besides, I don't even think she's capable of doing all that.
"Let's not jump to conclusions yet. Stop worrying yourself." He put his palm on my right cheek and caress it gently. "Fiscio didn't make it clear to us. She could be just another lead. This is a long journey. We must not let our emotions get in our way, hmm?" he comforted.
I nodded my head slowly. He's right. There's no point of building conclusions in my head already for we're not even sure if she really is a culprit or a lead. We'll only get to cross that bridge once we get there.
"I have no idea who this woman is but I have a feeling that she can help you find the answers you need," Foxxy says. I looked at him and smiled.
"Thank you for help," I told him. He jokingly arched his brows and smiled sheepishly at us.
"Don't mention it, my lady. The pleasure is all mine."

We had so much fun in his little shop. I learned that he uses magic to make humans see him as a normal looking person. Only Vortans can see his true forms.
I also told him about Josh. He promised to inform us once he sees a wolf wandering around. We need to find more clues. We still have to find Josh. I'm sure he's just somewhere there. Diante told me that he used his strength to knock him out. I'm sure he's injured.
He can't properly transform himself as a human if he's injured. He must be in the apartment still. Tanya won't be home for days and I'm sure of that. I already know her schedule on this time of the year. She'll be gone to parties and to another.
A typical girl at my age.
"We should go give ourselves some rest first. It's already night time," Damon says. We're in the middle of walking. Our clue have been replaced with a new one already. We just now have to find Aluncina and Josh.
"Do we rent or go back to my apartment?" I asked him. Damon kissed the tip of my nose and smiled.
"Anywhere."
I smiled. We've been looking nonstop for twelve hours already. I know that he's really exhausted now. I can feel his weak orb already. It's something only parsen can do.
"Let's just walk," I told him. He was about to tantrum about it when six men suddenly show up in front of us. I arched my brows and scanned them one by one.
Who are they?
"Hmmm. Sexy night, huh?" the man in the middle says. He has a really deep voice that makes him look like he had just got out of his grave. They all burst into laughter when Damon hide me behind his back.
His body temperature is raising already. This is not good.
"Damon, let's just ignore them. You can't use your power remember?" I reminded him but he just ignored me and raised his hand like as if he's telling me to not get involved in their men talk.
"Got a sexy girlfriend with you little guy. Can you even lift a coin?" the fat one mocked. The six of then start to laugh hysterically again. I can't with their clothes. They seemed to work in the same company. They look like construction workers to me.
"Would you mind if we borrow her for one night?" the thin one said. I squeezed my eyes shut. They're really asking for death. How can they say that to my man? They'll be dead once Damon's patience exceeded.
"She smells like roses y'all," the black guys said and sniffed the air like a maniac. I shook my head mentally.
Where somewhere quiet and hidden. No one goes here. Must have been one of the reason why they think they can just make fun of us and ganged up on us. Little did they know, there's more than what they see.
My lips parted when I felt Damon's body temperature decreases. He looks more calm now in spite the fact that the guy in the middle had his left food step forward to us already.
"Let's have a normal fight then," Damon whispers. Enough for me and the rest of the guys to hear. I shook my head and just follow him when he shove me gently on the side. "Let me do my job."
I rolled my eyes and look at the six men in front of me blankly. Y'all are dead. Brace yourselves.
"Haghh!"
"Yahh!"
"Nughh!"
"Haghh!"
Those are the groans and sound of painful punches and kicks. I just stood there and watch them get beaten up badly by Damon. I wouldn't appreciate his violence if these guys didn't say sexual things about them but they did so. They deserved that more than anything else in this world. I smiled when the last guy flew on the other side of the road hitting his head on one of the dumpsters.
They all seemed surprised by Damon's strength. I can't blame them. Damon's albino features makes him look fragile and vulnerable but his color changes once he gets really mad and is about to change in his dragon form. It's one of the things that still attracts me to this day.
Damon goes back to his proper posture like nothing chaotic happened. He put his hands in his pockets and look at me with a huge grin on his face.
"I wasn't going to fight them but I saw their faces plastered on a nearby police station," he says making my brows raised high. "They're rapists. Would you mind if I call the police first?"
I smiled.

Not much happened after that. We decided to take a bus for we're already tired as fuck. I can see them looking at us. I mean, at Damon. You know what I hate about this human world? Not all of them have parsens and they're looking at Damon because he's such an attractive guy. It honestly annoys me but you know what? Whatever.
He's my guy now. I'm the winner losers. Kidding.
Anyway. We arrived there at red light. The lights were on when we reached the facade of the house. I didn't bother to give the door three knocks and just entered. I looked at Damon when he suddenly stopped.
"Baby?" I called. He looked at me with his eyes looked like he just saw a ghost. "What?" I asked. He shook his head like as if he's trying to shake the silly thoughts in his head.
"Nothing. Let's go inside," he replied and smile. I looked at him suspiciously. What the hell?
I decided to just ignore his fishy reaction earlier and change into comfortable clothes. There's no point of insisting to know something that he doesn't want me to know, right?
Even the night is hot. I can feel the heat of the weather sinking through my skin. It's like as if I'm sleeping next to the sun. "Do you feel hot?" Damon asked. I turned my body to him and nodded.
"Yeah," I replied.
"Me too."
I heaved a deep sigh. I should maybe turn the ac on. That would make things much better.
"Should we?"
I looked at him confusedly. Should what? He smirked and pointed his lower body.
"Make love."
