Chapter 4 Christmas Reunion
(pov: Alston)
It has been four months it was Christmas eve and Alice and I got our own house near a lake on floor 22 after we got married. I had been night time training lately to keep myself strong to protect Alice after I nearly died in the boss fight with the black dragon.
I was afraid I was not strong enough to but I had made it to level 43 so far she at level 38. She and I train during the day together with Tara and Alexandra my pet he was a small black dragon that fights and gives defense, and attack boost for battle.
"Alston are you almost done with lunch the wing of freedom are going to be here soon?" Alice asked.
The leader had sent me a message saying he wanted to talk to me, so I invited him and his guild to my home for lunch and to talk.
I finished just in time because we heard a knocking at the door and I answered it and it bunch of kids around my age were standing there. They had a light military style armor on all of them with a pair of wing on their back.
(yes it is the attack on titan uniform for the scout's.)
"Hello And welcome I hope you are hungry I made lunch for everyone." I said inviting them in.
Them came in and they sat down at the table and the leader who screen name was Viper was the first to say something. "Thank you for letting us in I was wanting to talk to you and knew is your name Alston Carrico?" He asked.
"Yes but how did you know that?" I asked. I guessing he goes to my school but i never saw him before but he did look some one I knew.
"I know because I'm your younger brother." he said.
"What! You mean it you Chase?" I was shocked I thought i would never see him again after so long i forgot what he looked like, he had a smile on his face.
"Yes I mom told me you were playing this game and I wanted to play it with you but I never found you and I feared it was because you had died or you didn't want me to find you." he said.
"Mom? how did she tell you and I would never leave my little brother to die in this game I promise you that." I said.
"Alston I also wanted to tell you. Mom and dad are back together they have been seeing each other for a while in secret and they told me the day before we got stuck in this game." He said with a smile.
My father back with my mother, I was still mad at him for leaving us and the sorrow he put Tara and mom through, I didn't have much emotion at the time because I was still so young. "They are that mean mom finally going to be happy again right." I said.
He smiled and I was beyond happy to hear that. "That right with father and he is sorry he left." He said
I looked up and said. "So we are going to finally be a family once again." I was happy.
"Yes we are." Chase said. "So what level are you two at?" He asked.
"Alice is at level 38 and I'm at level 43 how about you all?" I asked. They looked away.
"I'm only level 32 and they are in the range of 25-30." Chase said.
"Oh we can get your level up." I said with a smile. He looked relieved to hear that, We all had lunch and went to the dungeon on this floor I was the head as a assault leader. My screen had four names on it Alice chase and his best friend Jordan who went by Ageis in the game and the last was my of course. The other five didn't trust me yet.
We found a secret path and I was on guard it was something that could be easy missed. "Look a bunch of treasure." One of Chase friends said.
I stopped him and moved forward and a giant wall fell down behind me. "I knew it a trap." It was a monster house. (When a massive group of creature attack in a selected arena and continue until they are wiped out the player or monsters.
Alice sent a message but she could tell I was in deep trouble. I tired to hold my ground but there was too many. "Crap I'm getting no where." I said. Then a play jumped over the wall and landed in a group of them. Then they all went flying and were defeated.
It was Kirito and he was not messing around. It took us a good half hour to clear the whole room, the wall raise and Alice ran and hugged me. "Thank kirito I need the help." I said. Alice looked at him and thanked him as well. We gathered the treasure and went home.
We all went back home an Kirito came with. "You need to be more careful." He said.
"No the kid's back there ran in non cocked and i had to get trapped so they didn't get killed."I said.
He look at them and said. "Just don't die i still need my rematch." We went inside and waited for everyone to regain full health and strength, I looked at Alice and she looked tired and hunger so we called it a night and I made dinner.
After dinner I cleaned everything up which took every little time to do in game. "Kirito do you have a place to stay for the night?" I asked.
"I brought a place at a inn for the next few nights." He said. Every one chatted for a while till we all went to sleep. In the morning I was woken up by a message. It was from Kirito. "I'm out front come we have work to do." It said. So I got ready and went outside.
"What is this work we have to do?" I asked.
"Boss raid it Christmas and we need to clear the next floor came on." He said.
We cleared the floor dungeon of floor 38 and were preparing for the boss fight when kirito asked. "Are you one of them?"
"One of who?" i asked
"The three warrior to beat the final boss are you one. They all have a skill other can't get dual wielding." He said.
"yeah how did you find out?" I asked.
"Two sword are better then one. I saw the two holder on the boss fight you solo." He said. I then got a message from Alice.
