Chapter three; A new helper.
"Do you wish to summon the robot??"
"This is crazy, I need to get home quick, but first, I need to do some clearance"
As he got inside their house, he was greeted by a lot of crowds. Not just any crowd, but his parent's friends, adult at that. But he could see some guys probably of the same age, they came with their parents, but what is more important is the fact that Vic needs to be alone.
As he was trying to make his way to his room, several people kept on greeting and wishing him a happy birthday. And suddenly, his father bumped into him.
"Ehmm, Dad! I need to do some packing, something came up at school, I guess you'll love to hear it, but will you give me some moment please? I won't take too long. And I promise to come downstairs when I'm done. Thanks Dad, Love you!" Not giving his father the chance to object, he quickly entered his room, shutting the door behind.
He has been practicing on how fast he would say the speech so there won't be any response from his dad.
"Now down to business." Vic finally said as he sat down on a comfy chair. Examining the wristwatch.
"What the hell is this watch" Vic asked, slightly confused, "Who the hell made it?"
The machine voice asked again.
"Well, there's one way to find out,..Yes." immediately a bright white light shone all over the room, blinding Vic for a short while until later it gets dimmer and dimmer. As Vic opened his eyes, he saw a small robotic figure standing in front of him.
"It really was a robot" Vic said surprisingly.
"Finally, I'm free!! Has it been fifteen years already? The robot replied almost jumping up, "Oh!! What a pretty boy you are, my name is Ang." Stretching his robotic arms for an handshake.
"Err? I'm Vic, nice to meet you sir Ang" he said politely.
"I already know your name, how can I forget something I've been waiting for, it's fifteen years we're talking about."
"Umm! Pardon me, how did you know my name?"Vic asked.
"Silly boy, I've been ordered to help you understand the concept of your wristwatch till you've come of age. You know, I've been told to borrow you some of my energy and powers till you're strong enough." Ang said, "I guess you've been wondering how you where able to communicate with systems. It's all my powers."
"Oh that explains it, but why would someone order you to help me" Vic asked thinking maybe his godmother was the one backing him up since he was born.
"I think that man is someone close to you, like some kind of friend." Ang answered
"What do you mean you think?" Vic replied almost angry. " And you said it's been fifteen years, how could a grown-up man be a friend to a small kid like me?"
"It's been a long time dear boy, and the man seems to be a little strange.
When he offered me the job. It didn't take up to five minutes before he left. All l knew was that he programmed some information into me and I saw myself disappearing. I swear that's all I know!!" Ang replied.
"Okay, ok. Do you know where the man could be??" Vic asked, cursing under his breath at the man.
"Good thing you asked, I've been told to tell you" Ang said, "The man is in the Vampire world. But he said that he will need you to be strong. Actually before clocking sixteen."
"Ah ah ah ah!! Are you joking or what?" Vic laughed but realized that the robot was not joking at all. "You're serious right, I thought vampires are not real?"
"They are real, and to tell you the fact, you're a vampire yourself and you're a bonafide citizen of that world."
"Uhhh???" Vic replied still doubting the robot's word, "are you insane?"
"Who's being insane here. I'm telling you the fact. The only way you could get to that world to find out the person who gave you this watch; is to get stronger. And you can't do that without my help." Ang shouted, as his steel head lit red.
At this point Vic seemed lost.
"Will you teach me how to get stronger then?" Vic asked.
"Of course, that's my duty. Now where do we start?" Ang replied, "The most important thing you need to know, I think you've known it already. You're a vampire and not just an ordinary vampire, a psychic Vampire. Your powers have stages and levels, but as time goes on, you'll understand it all. There's not much to it as you can just ask the watch directly for details. Just touch your right eyebrow and ask the question."
The system of the watch is interactive with the owner. It is also linked with the user's mind. Whosoever created it must be a genius.
"Who am I??" Vic said as he touched his right eyebrow and a system tab appeared a few space from his eyes. Not only that but as the machine voice sounded, the wordings were showed to Vic on the tab.
"Uhh, nice to meet you too." Vic answered the system.
"Sure! Vic!!"
"Okay. I'm Sternly Vic."
"Just who am I and who the hell are you!"
"Why would I name you, like you're some kind of baby to me!" Vic answered.
"Vic!! Vic!!! It's time to cut the Cake" His mother interrupted.
