Job

Apr 12, 2025

It's been three months and I've learnt to somewhat use the powers that I 'absorbed' from the beasts that I come across and I've been getting along with Vanessa a lot . He and I play alot around the house and one time when we were playing hide and seek I almost saw his face but couldn't , I wonder why he never takes off his mask and googles .

"Shekrit , Vanessa , C'mon we need to leave before it turns mid-day", 
"Okay~ , Let's go Shekrit",
"Okay",

They both go downstairs and prepare to leave . "I wonder what we will hunt today", asked Vanessa "Maybe a gaint spider with ten thousand eyes", said Shekrit in hopes of scaring him "Eek , don't say stuff like that it's gross", 
"Why do you get so scared , so easily?",
"Girls don't like stuff like that",
"Girls?"
"I- I mean-",
"Let's go we are geting late", interrupted Sholji in the middle
Suddenly Vanessa pulled Shekrits' arm and went outside "You heard him let's go", 
"O- Okay calm down a bit"

It was a peaceful morning and we were about to set off for a job in the community guild for some money .
After walking for two hours we finally made it but there was no job in the guild for some reason .

"What do you mean there's no job left", asked Sholji in shock
"So- Sorry Sir but for some reason a group of masked men just came in and took all the jobs left", explained the guild lady
"Sh- Should we go back", asked Vanessa
"*Sighs* We can't , we don't have enough money to even buy ourselves food", said Sholji
"Didn't we get a lot of money for the job we did the other day", asked Shekrit
"I- I kind of used all of it for our renovation",
"We must have some left", asked Vanessa

Sholji checks his wallet but only sees a fly flying out .

"I- If you're that much in need of money you could go to the community built in board , though people rarely use it now-a-days", suggested the guild lady
"Okay , I ain't letting my kids go hungry today", jumped Sholji in hope
"You should start to think about the future more in the future", added Shekrit

They head to the community built in board inside a dark alley .

"Why is it in such a cramped place?", 

After reaching the built in board they saw a single job request for a spider killing quest . 
"Looks like I was... right?", says Shekrit in hesitance
Vanessa starts to shiver "Lo- Look at what you did",
"Wha- How was I the one who did that", questioned Shekrit
"Calm down you two , the job doesn't seem to have been placed too long ago and guess what-",
"Hmm?""Huh?"
"-It says the reward is a gold coin , that'll be enough to last us a whole year", says Sholji in excitement
"I don't wanna go", says Vanessa in tears
"Don't worry , I'll protect you", says Shekrit thumbing up with a smile in his face
"Don't give me that thumbs up!",

"She has been opening up more , that's good at the least", thinks Sholji to himself "Don't fight now , you'll be fine and if needs be you two can just stay behind me",
"O- Okay",

After some time they reach the cave in which the spider was said to be residing in according to the job paper .

"Okay here it is",
"It looks scary",
"Don't worry didn't I say I will protect you",

As they head inside Sholji suddenly disappears "Wh- What just happened?!", as Shekeit turns to Vanessa he sees he has fainted and soon Shekrit also loses consciousness .

After some time Shekrit wakes up due to the calling of Vanessa "Shekrit , Shekrit wake up , didn't you say you will protect me why are you the one that's sleeping",
"Huh~ , I wanna sleep a little more",
Vanessa bangs his head against Shekrits' finally waking him up "Ouch!"
"Finally"
"Where are we and why are we tied up", asks Shekrit having a bump in his head
"I don't know , I think we're getting kidnapped , I heard someone saying 'we got them' up front",
"Where is dad when we need him"
"I think they are the ones who took him away"

Suddenly the carriage stops and they hear "We need to do this quick if we want to save her"

As the figure was about to open the carriage Shekrit jumps and bangs his head against the figures' knocking him down "What the heck was that" 
"Vanessa let's run", 
Vanessa quickly comes out and they both start to run 
"Come and catch those two! We can't let them escape", shouted the black masked figure

They keep runing but Vanessa suddenly gets his foot caught in a tree root and falls down "Vanessa!", as Shekrit looks back he sees ten black masked men running towards them "Huh , How are there so many of them", thinks Shekrit in shock "Run away Shekrit!! Just leave me behind" , "What? I can't do that" Shekrit carries Vanessa and starts running .
"I'm just slowing you down"
"No worries I doubt that they can catch us if they can't even run faster than me",

Suddenly an arrow pierces through Shekrits' arm . "Ahhhhh! What the- Who shots an arrow at a kid!!!", screams Shekrit in agony
"Shekrit!!",
"Catch them now!"
As Shekrit was about to keep on running the arrow suddenly turns into a blade and cuts his arm off "Ahhhhh!"
Shekrit drops Vanessa down and sees that they're surrounded by the black masked men .
"Sh- Shekrit , are you okay?!", asks Vanessa in panic , while Shekrit keeps screaming in agony . One of the men come up and knocks Vanessa and Shekrit out .
