"I don"t need any protection, and if I do, Ollie you"ll protect me, right?" I say jokinglyOllie barely looks up and gives out an almost inaudible meow and continues eating.
I take a sticky note off of the fridge and write, "The twisted ingredient is paprika...you must not love your niece." I jokingly write. I stick the note next to the plate of spicy cookies and start to head upstairs.
DONG DONG DONG DONG DONG
"Oh f.u.c.k that scared me!" I jumped almost losing my footing on the stairs.
There"s a giant grandfather clock that sits in front of the front door and between the staircase and hallway. It always give me bad vibes but aunt Lola tells me it was a family heirloom given to my great great great great...great grandmother as she took her leave from her birthplace to start a new life.
When I was younger, I remember never wanting to leave its side, it made me feel safe but now I can"t even look at it without feeling uneasy. I wonder why. There"s cracks on it"s frame, the mahogany is fading, no matter how many times we tried to fix the dials, it never works. We even hired repairmen but nothing.
Everyday the grandfather clock dongs at random times. Sometimes early in the morning and sometimes late at night. There"s no pattern, there"s no reasoning.
I remember playing with the grandfather clock when I was younger and aunt Vivian scolding me saying to stay away from it. I remember setting it on 1:15 but somehow it moved on it"s own to 12:07. No one believed me.
The clock never moves from 12:07. Eerie.
"Oh no! I"m super late! I totally forgot...well I can kiss me rank goodbye." I run up the stairs on all fours maybe making my speed faster.
"Oh great the update is done!" I type in my 4 number pa.s.sword, hurriedly open the game, and log in.
"What do you mean my pa.s.sword is incorrect?! How dare you defy me game!" I type in my pa.s.sword 2 more times and I finally get in... I had caps lock on, oops.

This is my second family. I tell them more things than I tell my own family. This is where I can be who I really want to. They make me feel needed and loved. I started playing when I was at my lowest point in life. Im so glad I ventured into this game.
SpiderCrow or Spi for short is my best friend in game and out of game. She"s helped me get through tough times in my personal life and was always there for me when I needed her. Torasagi or Sher is another one of my good friends, she"s hilarious and there"s never a dull moment with her. Sylviena or Syl for short is the leader of the guild. He"s so sweet and understanding and OP. He"s married to Woxzak in game. Woxzak or woxi for short is OP, we don"t talk that much but she"s always down to do a dungeon or two. Lantharia or Lan is another good friend, he comes to me for advice about females haha. He has a crush on Suki, it"s cute. Sukichan or suki is a friend of mine as well. She knows Lan has a crush on her but she"s married in game to someone else. Then there"s Hara...
