Hello ... I know it took me a long time to republish, but life is complicated and he also hates me. Many things have happened to me that really made me somewhat depressed and we must add the complexity of the university, which by the way, is full of inept students and incompetent teachers. I hope not to take so long for the next chapter.

Chapter 49

Day 3

Dantes's POV

Lok woke me up every day later, not that I complained, I could sleep more. The rest of the day began to become routine, after breakfast I wanted to play with the ball that contained the rattle, when Zhalia got up he was running to greet her, she was definitely his favourite, depending on how tired he was after playing two things could happen: The first one, if he was tired, would sleep while we had breakfast, or second, if he was not tired, he would be rounding the table on the lookout for any crumb that would try to eat it or be begging for food.

Then he wanted to play whatever it was and if we ignored it, it broke something to make us angry. He played with Sophie, with Cherit or with me, if he had no choice and would rest lying next to or on Zhalia. Well, that was the plan, until Sophie thought it would be a good idea to get Lok out to the front yard of my house, at first I didn't see any inconvenience, Lok was having a great time playing chasing the ball, until what happens typical that happens when you put together a puppy, a ball, a gate that is spacious enough for the animal to pass and a road, exactly ... Sophie threw the ball too hard and left through one of the slots in the gate, Lok, like a good animal , went to find his favourite toy, at first I thought that Lok could not pass and began to walk to retrieve the ball, but it turned out that if it happened and also, very easily and got on the road for the ball just when a car.

I died, at that moment I died, everything went very fast, but at the same time slowly, as if it were in slow motion and I could not move in time. Lok was happy with his ball in his mouth and was already coming towards me waving his tails, the bumper was getting closer and closer to his small body ... stop breathing and my heart stopped, it's all I felt, I think I heard Sophie scream and Zhalia run away from home, but I didn't arrive, I couldn't reach him ...

I thought that Lok knew what was happening, because he dropped the ball and looked at the car that hovered over him, his little body was so small in comparison, then everything returned to its normal speed, I had not stopped running and was already at the door, I could see everything all too well, Lok's body bristled like a cat and released a huge electric shock, rather it was like a huge flash, the driver must have gone blind, because he turned the car sharply and crashed into a lamppost a few meters away, but Lok was not.

The girls arrived immediately next to me, where I had been frozen, I felt my body tremble and my eyes wide and itched, I wanted to scream and cry was all I wanted to do, Lok was not there and I did not arrive on time ...

The neighbours began to leave their homes to see what had happened, the driver got out of the car, had some cuts due to the bursting of the glass, the man did not understand what had happened, apparently he was sending messages by mobile and was unable to understand that he had run over Lok. Sophie hyperventilated by my side, Cherit cried and Zhalia was a statue, I wanted to cry, (clin) I didn't care about the man (clin), his car (clin) and the stupid lamppost (clin), but that damn sound to me back did not let me regret it!

I turned around and there was Lok, with his ball in his mouth making it sound to continue playing, I drop it and put a leg on it inviting me to play, as if nothing had happened, as if it was not supposed to have been hit by a car.

-Girls ...

The two turned around and Cherit also as he wiped tears from his face with one of his hands. Sadness and anger disappeared and joy, euphoria and much confusion appeared. Cherit flew running and hugged Lok, who seemed upset by sudden burning, Sophie took him in her arms and squeezed him tightly in her arms causing him to release the ball, Lok made a noise of disgust when he lost it and tried to escape Sophie's strong hug to reach it. I reached down and picked it up, Lok seemed very happy to give it to his and he doesn't hesitate for a second to take it in his mouth and bite it to make it sound.

-I can't believe it -The others looked at Zhalia, one looked at the astonished road- The bastard has teleported!

-That doesn't matter- I got Sophie to release Lok and I took it, Lok was glad he didn't have such a tight grip, I allowed him to get on my shoulder- Lok never leaves the house again, ever.

After that scare I refused to lose Lok of sight, and I wasn't the only one, Cherit became his shadow and Sophie refused to let him out of the room and didn't want to go home, Zhalia was reading all the books she found about teleportation, travel between dimensions and for some strange reason, several catalogues of pet stores.

Dante's POV end

Zhalia's POV

After the heart attack that we all suffered and that had probably taken us twenty years of life, I didn't care about everything, Claus, Sophie, the Organization, my mission, everything, I just wanted to sit down to rest, but at the same time I couldn't, I didn't feel like it that something happened to Lok, so he had to be aware, I didn't trust others to ensure his survival. While everyone thought I was reading, which I was doing for a while, I took the opportunity to record videos and take pictures discreetly of things that were happening, Lok was cute and the material he was getting was fabulous, I would use them as blackmail in the near future.

LeBlanche called the princess many times, but Sophie refused to take it because she did not want to go home, when LeBlanche got tired of Sophie called home and Dante answered, I apologize to Sophie and told him what happened, in the end Dante got Sophie I will sleep tonight.

The rest of the day passed more calmly and without incident, when Lok got tired of having Cherit and Sophie of shadows came to snuggle with me, take this opportunity to show them the place that Lok liked so much to be caressed. Lok hid with me and Dante for the rest of the day, since Dante decided to keep me company on the couch while Sophie looked for anything to get Lok's attention.

There was an occasion when I had to get up to make a call, Lok protested a little, at the loss of his pillow. When I returned Lok was with Dante, he had climbed on his lap, laid on two legs and leaning on his chest with the front legs, Cherit kept making sound like "ooohhh" and things like that, Sophie was taking pictures and Dante let Lok smell him.

-It seems you finally like him.

As soon as I spoke, Lok looked at me, got off Dante and came running towards me and began to rub down my legs.

-And it seems that you are his favorite.- Dante looked at me over his shoulder with a big smile.

-That nobody understands.-And obviously Sophie had to talk.

-Sophie, every time you protest you just show me how jealous you are.

Sophie frowned and lips, Dante's face changed to concern and Cherit disappeared from the map. I was not going to withdraw what was said, it had given me great satisfaction, although I know I shouldn't. Sophie and I had a small silent battle, where Dante was an innocent victim and Lok didn't care.

-Hey, how about we teach Lok a new trick?

Cherit returned with Lok's candy bag, waved it to sound. Lok stopped rubbing against me to run to Cherti, who, the first thing he did was lift his tail so Lok wouldn't bite it. Lok did not stop jumping to try to get his sweets, he followed Cherit until he gave the bag to Dante, who was now his target. The sweets bag had great power, you could make Lok obey you, even obey Dante.

In the rest of the afternoon, we only had one problem, we couldn't think of any new tricks to teach him, Ethan had already taught them all, he knew how to sit down, kick, roll, roll, spin, stand up, bring you objects , looking for them, lying on their backs, getting done and dead ... to be so small, he knew a lot of tricks, although it made us think, at least to me, how much free time Ethan had and how boring he should be despite having a puppy hyperactive who had to claim his attention all the time, after this thought I felt sorry for Ethan.

The only thing that occurred to us was to teach him to do sig-sag between our legs, in the end it was an entertaining afternoon, Sophie of the nerves because it is thought that trying to do it three times already must have been learned, Lok tired because we didn't suck and he frustrated and bit Dante and I as a spectator wanting to kill half of the room, Sophie for obvious reasons and Dante for letting Sophie stay. I only wanted to lie on the couch with Lok curled up in my stomach or beside me. Obviously, as expected, Lok just left us and went to sleep on the second floor of his scraper, got into the little house and turned his back so he didn't have to see our face, I went to my bedroom to meditate and then sleep, I did not care what others did.

Zhalia's POV end

Sophie's POV

I couldn't believe Zhalia's behavior, jealous, me? NEVER. What does it matter to me that this version of Lok likes Zhalia? What anger this woman gives me, I am not able to understand this behavior, one day she offers to accompany me and tries to be kind and the next she hates me, she should go to have her head checked, because this is not normal.

And I'm definitely not jealous, just worried about Lok, today he had a horrible scare, and I don't want anything to happen to him.

I tried to get Lok out of his hiding place, but he scratched or grunted me every time I tried to get him out, on the fifth try I gave up and sat down with my arms crossed and with a frown, Zhalia had left me in a bad mood and hadn't managed to calm me down and that had certainly made me frustrated when we tried to teach Lok tricks.

Lok only left his hiding place when Dante called him to put his dinner, after eating he lay down, and Dante did the same and invited me to copy him.

Day 4

It was amazing, but when I woke up I was still mad at Zhalia, when I went down to breakfast I saw Dante reading one of Zhalia's books, I couldn't help looking at him looking at me sideways, when I finished breakfast, Dante closed the book and looked at me with a smile.

-Sophie, I was going to meditate for a while in the backyard, will you come and do it with me? I will show you something new, which you surely have not tried.

-Of course, but shouldn't we wait for Lok to deform to show him too? -Dante got up and started to go to the patio, I followed him.

-Looking like Lok is, I don't think any meditation technique can relax.

Dante and I laughed, Cherit stayed inside watching Lok and, although he didn't admit it, taking a nap.

Sophie's POV end

Zhalia's POV

When I woke up the next day, I lay in bed for a while, I didn't want to get up, the time I spent meditating at night didn't help, when I finally had the strength to get up, the first thing I did was run the curtains , through the window I could see Dante and Sophie meditating in the backyard, and I don't know ... I felt weird, as if nostalgia and it makes no sense, it's not something I've ever done with anyone, let alone with Sophie. I kept watching for a while until I heard the scratching of my bedroom door.

-But what? -When I opened the door Lok came in very happy and rubbed on my leg- What are you doing here? And how did you get in? - I took Lok in my arms and stared at him. - Have you teleported again?

I couldn't help getting Lok close to my face and giving him an Eskimo kiss, Lok purred, I settled him in my arms and went back to the window.

-Why are you so fond of me, Lok? If you knew my mission, you would hate me more than Dante.

I couldn't help smiling when I said his name, I immediately corrected myself, but it was enough for Lok to look at me strangely.

-What? - Lok narrowed his eyes- I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm sure you're wrong.- Lok remained the same, judging me it seemed he was asking me, "Really Zhalia?" - God, stop, it's not what you think! - Really, he just needed to raise an eyebrow- Stop judging me, it's not like I like Dante, or that ...

Lok looked away to the window, it seemed that he was smiling, satisfied to make me realize that I wanted to be down there with Dante, all my problems, my doubts and my fears appeared when I met him, and the more time I spent with him the more doubts came to me and these days we spent alone, talking about our affairs and watching TV side by side had felt very good. And not only that, he adored the transformed Lok and to a lesser extent the normal Lok. Cherit was very good company and if I tried a little we could be good friends, the only nuisance was Sophie, but I recognize that it can be useful on many occasions, ... well, my attempts to be nice is not that there have been many and in the end I always screw up.

-Lok, I don't want to leave, I want to stay with you. I think I know what I have to do.

Lok was no longer paying attention to me, now he was getting distracted by a fly. That Lok kept me company while I lay in bed to draw, it was fun to see Lok try to catch the fly, he crashed into almost everything, I laughed for a while, especially because he kept trying, it's really persistent. Stop paying attention and focus on my drawing, which consisted of ... SURPRISE! In Lok trying to catch the fly.

All very funny until I heard broken glass and Lok crying, I jumped up and ran to see what had happened, it turned out that Lok had tried to climb to the dresser, but had not succeeded, had fallen and thrown a bottle of perfume.

Lok was still crying when I took him in my arms, I was very sorry, he was really scared, I took him to my bed and checked him to make sure he didn't have any wounds, once checked I gave him pampering to calm down. Once calm Lok began to inspect my bed, I settled back to continue drawing, yes, this time I did not take his eyes off Lok. Spending the morning in my room, in pyjamas and yes, with Lok, it was the most pleasant, and having cleared my head, having taken away all doubts and having made a decision, it was a fabulous feeling, it had been a long time since I felt this way, and I owed everything to the winged hair ball that rubbed against my clothes piled up in a corner of the bed, definitely now I had to wash it, only this time I will be attentive so that Lok does not ruin.

It was so entertaining painted that I forgot to have breakfast, and I only realized how late it was when Dante started scolding Cherit, due to his nap, for having spent the night reading, Cherit had no idea where Lok was, Dante was worried about Lok's disappearance. Sophie was inspecting the windows and doors to make sure Lok had not escaped, I started to change to get off and save Cherit, I was quite sad, with Sophie and Dante throwing up, I looked at Lok, I was playing with my feet and I decided it was time to save Cherit. I took Lok in my arms and went down to the living room where I saw Cherit cornered.

-Lower those fumes, Lok is with me and has been with me all morning.

Dante's face was pure relief, and Cherit's too, but Sophie's was pure envy. I left Lok on the couch and he began to rub against all the cushions, both the seats and the backrests.

-Can I ask questions?

-He threw my perfume bottle; I think he tries to get rid of it.

-No wonder, a little perfume is fine, but this is too intense.-Sophie pulled away from Lok while covering her nose.

-I think we should give him a bath.

- Good idea Dante. You take care of the bathroom, while Sophie and I go out there.

-What you and I what?!

-I need a new perfume and I'm going to take you to a place you like.

I said nothing more and went up to change leaving everyone baffled.

Zhalia's POV end

Dante's POV

Zhalia dressed in a matter of seconds, she and Sophie left before I finished eating, I didn't have time to react, in one second they were eating with me and the other they were going out the house. Cherit tried to leave with the girls, but I stopped him, I had a bad feeling about the idea of being alone with Lok, and I decided that if I suffered Cherit too.

Our first arduous task was to bathe Lok, which sounds complicated, I later discovered that it was much more complicated than it sounded. It seemed that Lok perfectly understood the word "bath" and did not like anything, ran away from us like the second day, the only good thing was that after running and scrubbing on almost every surface the smell of the perfume had softened so much that barely it was noticeable, so in the end I didn't have to bathe it for the three of us.

However, my luck was short-lived, I was right not to like the idea of being alone with Lok, when the girls were Lok it was a charm, when they were going to look like the demon that was. It started with something small and I don't care much, it just scratched me every time I could, if it passed by it I jumped and scratched or bit me and then ran away. As I said, I didn't worry, he had done it from time to time so I didn't care.

Lok continued scratching furniture, and much, but he did not comply with the kitchen and living room cabinets, but scratched the legs of the living room table, bookcases, chairs, upholstered armchairs, doors, material from the training room, etc., etc. I remembered that Zhalia had told me that Lok wanted pampering when Lok shattered the house a few days ago. And when I told Cherit, the very unfortunate said it seemed like a good idea ...

When Cherit and I finished healing all the new wounds and repairing the oldest wounds that Lok had done to me, I decided to call the girls for help, I was injured and Lok disappeared, this situation was not good at all. It turned out that the phone did not work, I tried to call from my mobile, but I had no coverage, so little I could send messages, I already had my suspicions about what was happening, but I still checked it, I looked for the telephone fibre cable and the internet, they were completely shattered, for a few moments the panic approached me, Lok had long disappeared and I know how dangerous an electric shock can be, I couldn't help but slap myself mentally, it is impossible that the discharge I suppose he has received would have hurt him , it is pure electricity, for God's sake I thought about worrying.

I could not help but squeeze the bridge of my nose to try to calm down, which did not work since I noticed that they spilled a liquid in my leg, when I looked down I burned in flames, literally, something that had not happened to me since I was 12, but Lok I had succeeded. As soon as my body burned Lok ran out, making one of its noises that, honestly, seemed like a laugh. I managed to calm down, Cherit appeared with a glass of water, I drank it with a drink, burning in flames always leaves my mouth dry. Cherit went to look for the hairball in what I cleaned.

I know it was cruel of me, but after changing my clothes I was hiding in my bedroom reading one of the newspapers in the magical world to find out about the latest events, leaving Cherit to deal with Lok. When I finished informing myself, I decided that I could go down and verify that Cherit was still alive. To my surprise Lok was again an adorable puppy that played with Cherit in the training room to chase the ball, I slipped away silently and hid in my office, I didn't want any more problems. My only hope was that the girls would come back soon to save me, Lok was good when they are at home.

Dante's POV end

Sophie's POV

I hated Zhalia, had managed to drag me to more than 10 perfumeries to look for a new perfume that replaced the one that Lok broke, I just wanted to know where she was going to take me, when I put it at Dante's house she got my curiosity stung and I agreed to accompany her, but this was ridiculous, is this your stupid attempt to manipulate me to trust her? I don't know how it was believed that asking for my opinion about perfumes will make me trust her. Finally, Zhalia found a perfume that she liked.

-Well, we're done, let's go home.

- Of that nothing. I want to take you to a place you like.

-Of course ... why do you know the things I like.

-No, but I'm sure you liked the idea of being able to shoot me.

I couldn't help but be surprised, I had no idea what she meant, but I had managed to make curiosity irresistible. Zhalia called a taxi and kept smiling all the way, even though we didn't talk. Every minute that passed made me more nervous, I don't know how Zhalia got it but she had managed not to listen to the direction we were going.

After five minutes of traveling I started to panic, we were in some area of the city that I did not recognize and then I began to wonder that it had not been a good idea to go with Zhalia. Zhalia was not trustworthy, she had been acting very strange since that we met her, always appearing when nobody invited her, well, maybe Dante, getting into all our affairs, and it was obvious that she didn't like me, what did she think when did I decide to accompany her? My God, maybe she was going to kill me, sure it was something similar, she was going to get rid of me and cover it up, not that is not possible, the taxi driver would be a witness, although ... maybe she kills him too, or worse, she and the taxi drivers are complicit and kill me between the two. Ok, calm down, Sophie, I am a very good seeker, I can escape, first I take care of Zhalia and then the taxi driver, I will run away and seek help, that is what I have to do.

-Come Sophie, we have arrived.

Zhalia's voice surprised me, I slowly got out of the taxi ready to attack, as soon as I closed the door I was ready to make one of my best judo keys to anyone, but the taxi left.

-Are you coming or not?

Zhalia was holding the door of the place before us waiting for me to enter, I was a little surprised, I didn't know how to act, I looked up and saw a huge neon sign.

"Laser tag"

-A laser tag?

-Yes, I thought it would be good for a small healthy competition between us to deal with our problem. I told you that you could shoot me.-Zhalia was smiling.

-I did not think…

-Please, Sophie, what did you think, what was going to get rid of you?

I said nothing, I felt like a complete idiot, I went silent with Zhalia amused behind me.

Sophie's POV end

Zhalia's POV

-I can't believe I lost!

-Don't be discouraged Sophie, you've done very well.

This was a lot of fun, the princess had lost, she couldn't stop smiling while we returned the equipment.

-I had everything planned ... how could my plan fail me ...

- Come cheer up, when Lok returns to normal, we will tell him and Dante to come and crush them.

Sophie couldn't help laughing out loud.

-Yes, that will be fun, it just occurred to me that we could compete boys against girls and those who lose will have to serve as servants for those who win. Can you imagine Dante and Lok doing everything we want?

-That sounds great, I'll send Lok away.

Sophie and I returned home in a very good mood, it seemed she was finally getting along better.

Zhalia's POV end

Dante's POV

Hidden in my office everything was peace and quiet, I felt a little sorry Cherit but preferred to live.

-DANTE!

Cherit slammed into my office ruining my happiness, I came to believe that I had broken the door.

-Dante, I can't find Lok!

Why me? Cherit and I split the house to look for it, we did not know where he could be, it is small and fits almost anywhere, under furniture, inside cabinets and drawers, the washing machine, the dryer and the worst thing is that it teleports .

While I was looking for the bathrooms I felt the horrible need to go to the laundry, and there was Lok, sleeping in Zhalia's dirty clothes, I had just left her this morning before leaving with Sophie, I could not help smiling relieved, I should throw I miss Zhalia and look for something with her smell. I looked for Cherit and informed him that I had already found him, we both returned with Lok and saw him sleep, he immediately woke up, yawned very tenderly and put his mouth, stretched his legs in the air and then stood up and returned to stretch, as soon as he saw us he tilted his head to the side, as he always does in his human form when he doesn't understand something, which is usually quite often.

The girls were coming in and they looked good, they were laughing and talking quietly, I thought that Lok would run to greet them, but no, instead he stared at me, he lifted a leg and pee in Zhalia's clothes again, for Luck this was dirty clothes and not clean. After that Lok ran out and went to greet the girls.

-Cherit, run, entertain them, I solve this.

While putting the washing machine in Zhalia's clothes I could hear Cherit talking to the girls about her day, apparently Zhalia had taken Sophie to the Laser -tag, which had not invited me again. When I finished putting on the washing machine, I went out and greeted the girls, Sophie had Lok in her arms.

-Dante, where were you?

- Solving a small problem, nothing to worry about.

I swear that when I said that everything was solved Lok glared at me, he definitely despises me and wants me dead, it is no secret that Zhalia would kill me if I knew that Lok urinated again in his clothes.

-And how about you with Lok? - Zhalia looked at each and every wound with concern.

-Zhalia, if you want to continue living here, don't leave me alone with him again.

The girls looked worried and then went to change, taking Lok with them. Cheirt and I dropped on the couch wishing this would end soon.

-Dante.

-Yes?

-Lok wants you dead, right?

-You have noticed it too? - Cherit nodded- Luckily, I came to think that I was going crazy.

We dined quietly, or most, I kept looking at Lok, who took so little eye from me, I was sure he was working out ways to get rid of me. When I finished dinner I let the girls take care of the cleaning, I just wanted to go to bed to sleep, I could not continue with this much more, luckily there were only a couple of days left. When I was leaving the kitchen Lok pulled me down the bottom of my pants, luckily he didn't break it, I sighed thinking that this was not over, when I looked at him to see what was happening he ran out and scratched his feeder, I couldn't help but frown as I was about to give him his dinner, he wanted me dead, but he asked me to give him dinner and breakfast. He would have to talk seriously with him when he broke up.
