“What do you mean *He who holds the pen is evil* Do you know who has the pen? Do you know where he/she is?.” I asked the old lady, in hope of an answer.., that would help this quest of mine.
“These are answers you have to find yourself. Now please leave, I have to attend to a customer.” She pointed at the door showing us the way out… her face showing how impatient she is to get us out of her antique shop.
I was about to say *You don’t have a single customer in here* When indeed a young girl walked into the shop. That’s weird, my life is weird!
“Can you at least tell us anything about the pen? maybe the pen history?” Daniel asked, pleading with his eyes.
The Old granny sighs… takes an old book from on top her counter, forced it into the hands of Daniel… “Anything you want to know about the pen is in that book. Now, please leave.”
We all looked at the strange woman, wondering why she wants us to leave in a haste. Shrugging the feeling of our shoulder… we left the antique shop heading back for the hotel.
“Uhm, are we really going back to the hotel?” Vivian asked, Daniel… my master and I stopped, turned around to see what Vivian has to say.
“Yeah, that’s exactly what we are doing. We have to read the book, and solve all this mystery as soon as possible.” Daniel replied her in a duh sound.
“Okay… but do not forget. All work and no play, make jack a dull boy.” She clicks her tongue.
“I am saying, we have a beautiful city in front of us, why not explore it?” She grinned.
“I guess, she does actually have a point.” Master concurs.
“Great, you get it Ethan!” Vivian Claps her hands together, delighted.
“I suggests, we all tour the city, in group of two… and so… Daniel and Janice could go together, while I go with Ethan.” As she said those words, she walked over to sir Ethan, entwined her hands with his… I AM SEEING RED!!!
“Sorry Vivian, but I had rather go with my girlfriend.” Ethan unlink their hands, walks over to me… stretched forth his hand, I wasted no time in placing my hand on his unable to hide my wide smile.
“See you guys later.” My master waved at Vivian and Daniel, as we walked away.
Sir Ethan stopped a taxi, and we both got in.
“Sir we are tourist, and would love for you to be our chauffeur for today. Is it possible?” Sir Ethan asked the driver.
“Of course it is, and lucky for you… I know every street and corner of this city like the back of my hand. I don’t even need a map.” The man replied, smiling at us through the rear view mirror.
My master returned his smile, and asked the taxi driver to start the tour.
True to his words the taxi driver took us to all the hottest tourist sight in Ohio. I had so much fun.

Vivian POV:
“So… what do you want to do?” Daniel asked, smiling like the loser he is. What in the world did I see in him. Ohh I remember, this is all Janice fault. I can’t believe Ethan would choose her over me. I hate Janice!!
“I’m going back to the hotel.” I huffed, stopping a taxi. Without waiting for his reply, I got into the taxi and then asked him to drive.
The taxi stops in front of the hotel, and then I came down.. at that moment, I realize I didn’t have any money with me. Ohh fuck, I shouldn’t have gotten on the taxi without taking money from Daniel. He is the one with our transport. Ethan gave him some money.
“Ma’am you haven’t paid for the ride yet.” The taxi driver yelled. My initial instinct was to run into the hotel in full speed, before I get really embarrassed by the driver. But luckily for me, Daniel came to my rescue. He alighted from a taxi and rushed over to my taxi driver. Without saying thank you to him, I cat-walked into the hotel.
“Maybe a thank you, would be nice.” Daniel says rushing into the elevator. Why couldn’t the elevator door be in anyway faster. Now I have to face this loser.
“I don’t see any reason why I should be thankful, you should have given me the money when I was leaving.” I hissed.
“Yeah, because you gave me the chance to even say a single word. I sometime still wonder why in the world I love you. Not only are you rude but you are so stuck up.” He hissed then walks out of the elevator immediately it stops.
I also got out of the elevator, I hate him! I hate Janice! I hate Ethan!! I hate everyone. They are all a bunch of losers.
When I got to the hotel room, Daniel wasn’t there and I didn’t care.
**************************************************************************************************
Daniel POV
I sat down near the hotel swimming pool, my leg in the water… I feel so frustrated by Vivian. I really want to understand her and get the fact that all this is not easy on her.
But hey, she’s not the only fictional character who just woke up from the dead, and found out that he has been living a lie all his life. And I am not going around causing trouble the way she’s doing.
I really want to be there for her, but how can I be there for her, if she’s only going to push me away… over and over again. I so much love Vivian, and I hope she would see how much I love her.
I don’t care if I was only playing my part in a story by loving her. But I do love her, in and out of the novel… my love for her would always remain.
Sighing tiredly, I got up and left the swimming pool. I ordered Vivian favorite food from the restaurant and then took it to her.
I knocked on the room door first, she might be naked and I do not want another round of stuck up Vivian.
“Yes come in.” She yelled from inside.
I walked in with tray of food in my hand. On seeing me she hissed, “Ohh, it’s you.” She murmured loud enough for me to hear.
Ignoring what she said… “I ordered your favorite food. Creamy shrimp pasta.” I removed the lid from the plate of food. At first she acted uninterested, then she sat up.. and grabbed a spoon.
She ate the food quietly and slowly, and I just watched her eat… I can never get tired of looking at her.
After she was done eating, she placed the empty plate and spoon back on the tray… then didn’t say a thing.
“Why are you looking at me? If it’s a thank you, you are expecting. It’s never going to come.” She folds her hands below her boobs, staring at me intently.
“Well… I was staring at your face, because I can’t seem to stop being amazed by how beautiful you are. And so you know, I was never expecting a thank you.” I smiled, she huffed.
“Whatever.” She replied.
I stood up from couch and walked over to the bed where she is, then I said… “You might not love me, you might act all stuck up and bitchy as you want, you can call me all the names you want to call me. But you Vivian, would always be my love. I just hope you would realize how much I love you before it’s too late, nobody loves to be kept waiting.”
“I will be at the bar if you need me.” With that said, I left her alone in her thoughts.
