Chapter 5 - The next morning.

Natalie was resting on my chest after we finished our lovemaking, her hands played with my hair. "I realize that your system makes it so that you have to sleep with your maids, so I don't have a problem with you sleeping with other women. But I want to be one of those women, can you also give me love?" Natalie asked me as I played with her black hair.

"I promise you I will love you," I said, knowing it would be hard, but now that we have expressed our feelings for each other, I will try to live up to your expectations. Natalie smiled as she lifted her head, resting her chin on my chest and looking at me as she spoke. "What an odd way to finally get what I wanted, but I am happy at least." She said before kissing me.

"Tom, can I talk to you?" Chad said as he entered the bus. "Sorry, my bad. I will wait outside." He quickly said, leaving the bus as we looked at each other and chuckled. Natalie kissed me as she slowly got up. "My hips are sore, Tom. You are so big." She groaned, giggling as I kissed her cheek, and her hand started to glow, healing her soreness.

As we finished getting dressed, Natalie spoke. "It looks like you raised stats by ten points." She said as I pulled out Riptide's info and saw that all her stats had increased by ten. I wonder if it's only for the first time each day I sleep with them, as Riptide and I had done it more than once. At the same time, Natalie and I did it only once, since it was her first time and she couldn't handle any more.

I will have to explore this more, as we were just about to step off the bus when everyone moved to take seats around a fire. Riptide was standing near the door to the bus as she bowed and followed behind me. We took a seat near James and Jason as Natalie sat on my lap, shocking everyone.

The head cheerleader had sat on the group's pervert, and almost all the guys glared at me with daggers. In contrast, the girls had a mixed bag of hate and intrigue. Chad got up and started to speak. "We don't know where we are, and we don't even know if we can get back to our world, so I think we should come up with a game plan for tomorrow." He said, looking around and stopping at me.

"I think we need to send a party out to find help. I think we should send Tom and his maid out. Those two can make it through this forest without being at risk." He said as everyone nodded, but I spoke up. 

"If I leave, who will guard the wounded and get food for you all. I get that we should look for help, but I think it's best to gain supplies here before I bounce to look for help. At least for now, that is, I don't mind going out. But I doubt any of you have the skills to hunt or gather food, as we all live in the big city. It would be foolish to send the only person who can hunt out for now." I said.

My words made people start to nod. "What Tom says has merit," Sam said, making me shocked as I looked at her, and she blushed slightly before looking away. Samantha didn't have the same kind of distaste for me as before. Not that it was a good look she gave me, but it was one of understanding.

"How long do you think we should wait then?" Chad asked me as I tilted my head and thought for a moment. "Seven days should be good enough, this will let Riptide be able to build up supplies along with other maids I can summon now," I said, making everyone break into mutters.

"How many maids can you summon?" Chad asked, but I kept silent for now. "I would like to keep that a secret for now," I said, making Chad sigh as he nodded.

"Seven days isn't too bad, we can heal up most of the injured in that time. And the food stockpile will help us wait for you. I am okay with the seven-day wait. Let's take a vote on it." He said as I raised my hand in agreement to the seven-day wait, but Kitty and her group weren't going to have it.

"I think the sooner he leaves, the better; if not, some of us can be in danger of him." She said, making Natalie laugh. "You aren't his type, you're too much of a dumb bitch to be worthy of being embraced by him," Natalie said, making Riptide nod and give her a thumbs up.

"I may be a bitch, but at least I ain't a whore." Kitty said as I picked up a rock and threw it at her face, hitting her in the nose. Her white knights stood up only for Riptide to step in between us. "How can you hit a woman, Tom?!" Yelled one of them as I broke out in laughter. 

"Wait, I thought she was all about equality? If a guy said that about Natalie, I would have done the same thing. You want to start a fight, be ready to get hit. These hands are E for Everyone. Tell her to shut the fuck up, or I will shut it for her." I said, looking at the two guys. They still feared Riptide as Chad spoke.

"Tom is right. Kitty, stop your stupid, pointless man-hating. Tom and Natalie are both consenting adults. If you can't understand that, then you shouldn't be in these talks." He said, making the others nod as Kitty wiped the blood running from her nose, as she glared at me and shrugged.

The stupid die the quickest; if Kitty doesn't change, she will only die the fastest. "Let's vote again and get a count," Chad said, regaining control of the meeting. It was 50 to 20 in favor of my leaving after seven days. James and Jason also agreed to go with me, along with Natalie.

The meeting was dismissed, as the guys voted to let the girls sleep in the bus while they slept around it tonight, taking turns guarding each side with two people. Natalie and Riptide forgone sleeping on the bus to sleep with me, and I wasn't going to turn that down, even if it made the guys jealous as they lay in my arms.

I felt like one of those young masters in novels; it was kind of fun. But I wasn't going to let it get to my head... Maybe.

As the sun rose over the horizon, I looked through the mist while on guard duty. Riptide offered to take my shift, but she needed to hunt for us. This was the least I could do, as I looked into the forest, I noticed movement. And the sound of something, trying to hear it clearly. "Tom, what's that!" The guy I was on guard duty with yelled out.

"Knights! Everyone, we have company!" I yelled out as the guys quickly got up and Riptide took her place in front of me. As the Knights cleared the edge of the forest and looked at us, a woman walked out of it. Making the men all gulp, even I did, she had long blonde hair and pointy ears.

She was an Elve as she bowed before speaking. "I am Queen Athena. I have summoned you all to this world to help it. But the summoning was tampered with, leaving you out here. I apologize for this mistake." She said before bowing again, as I gulped, her chest was massive, her dress tightly fitted, making her valley really show.

Chad looked at me, and I nodded as he and I walked forward with Riptide standing behind me. The knights looked at Chad and me before looking at Riptide and raised an eyebrow as one walked over to the Queen and whispered into her ear. Athena looked at Riptide and began to speak to her.

"Are you the leader here?" The Queen asked Riptide as she shook her head. "I am nothing more than my master's maid." She said, bowing slightly with a hand moved my way, making the knights and Queen look at me with a confused look, as if they could see through part of me. "Are you the leader?" They asked me, shaking my head and pointing at Chad.

"He is a better leader than I; I am more of a backup plan," I said with a chuckle. I didn't want that hot potato. Chad is more of a people person than I was.

"Very well, may we have both of your names?" She said. "I am Chad Jones, and this is Tom Wilson." He said as he bowed. She smiled and nodded as she spoke. "We shall guide you out of this forest and to the city before we talk about the reason we summoned you all," Athena said as we nodded.

It was better to get out of this place.
