Exhausted yet Exhilarated
"We- We g-give up! Gi-give up!....."
"Ah shit..... -"
A man fall into his unconscious state. Crimson liquid flowing through his wrist and different parts of his body. His body was fool of pink fresh scars like a werewolf have scratched him. His hard rock abs full of injuries. As much as you can even say, Bloody Hell.
They're all laying in the floor, including the subconscious Elliot. Breathing like it's the end. Blood were coming out off his head. His stomach was going up and down like a messy rollercoaster. There was no one in the gym thankfully that can see their bloody state. If there is, they can be reported for attempted murder on each other....
The gym were full of dried blood, as all of them bleed out for their thin wounds. Some grave even. Elliot smiled, he didn't expect this really. He can still feel the excitement that ran through his veins earlier. It was rather a new feeling. Perhaps, a whole new feeling after his battle with his Master Arch. He was stronger, and so his opponents. A new encounter. A stronger battle for his stronger self.
They've gone all out in that fight, and the easily concerned Raizel sent out some mediwizards they had in the company to apparate in the gym to heal them all after the Owlers became unconscious.
Those mediwizards arriving, all were shocked at the view in the center. All of them, Owlers and Elliot, laying like they're dead. Hit by a car or something. It's like a massacre just happened. Blood there, blood here, sword there, traces of blown magic right in the corner. Wands were scattered around. It was chaos.
Raizel just helplessly let the wizards make their shocked faces....
Raizel sighed in a pitiful face, his master is pretty reckless when it comes to fights. As long as it's exciting, he doesn't care about the things that can happen. And now here, some parts of of the gym were destroyed, in grave state. The floor were destroyed, a huge dent made. There was almost a fire just before, leaving the charcoal black color to the ground. While the conscious Owler, Grey and Vail, 06 and 07, including Elliot were just laughing, as for the excitement they had earlier.
They could say it was a tie. Everyone was wounded and bleeding, exhausted and wanting to sleep. The mediwizards were on their work helping them. Taking few minutes or so.
☪️ ☪️ ☪️
"Are you okay?" Elliot heard Raizel's exhausted voice. He must be tired after waiting for an hour and a half with his neck just staring at them fight. Continued fight until they're in the cliff of their death.
"Are yOU okay?" Elliot countered back, he can handle himself later on. Raizel haven't sleep yet, and he got more works to do. While Elliot would be just hanging around later, as the CEO without doing anything really. Meaning, Raizel should precious himself more.
"Of course sir, simple nap will do it" Raizel never got rid of his annoying formal way yet. And Elliot sneered. Having a disbelief look. Raizel let a nervous laugh. He should get used to his master's behavior. It's very complex. Sometimes you cannot tell if he's being serious or not. And if you made a mistake treating his serious orders a joke, your done. Just done. Yet, if you treat his joke as a a serious one, well, your done..
"Tell the mediwizards to heal the others more, make me apparate to the orphanage," He asked Raizel as the lad nodded. Unfortunately, Elliot hasn't trained his apparition yet that much. He can only with short distances like when he teleported back then at the fight.
Elliot stood up first painfully, groaning in grave pain. Raizel had no choice but to help the little kid. Elliot gave him the look, and Raizel blushed. Now then, Elliot stared at the Owlers, mostly unconscious on the ground. Richard state was the most pitiful one, as he was the one acting as the tank. Grey was the only one conscious, but she was breathing hard. About to pass out in any moment.
Elliot smiled. They still manage to keep up even though they were already tired. He made a good
pick. He remembered back when Raizel himself recommended a group acting like Board of Directors if we were to compare Owling into a normal company. Elliot reluctantly agreed. Didn't expect too much about the wizards he will be recruiting. But look at them now...... .almost dying. Kidding, they're pretty good. He laughed. Making a sarcastic remark in himself.
'Good one Elliot, you've achieved the comedy award..'
"Faust," Unexpected, a voice calls Elliot out. With the name 'Faust', a name he isn't that used to much yet. But nevertheless, he turned around only to see a conscious Vail , 07. He raised his eyebrows, he though he was one of the unconscious guys that were laying there.
"Yeah?" The childish voice of Elliot voice out, as much to his dislikings.
Vail has the face of respect. Now then he wondered, is he really a child? What if it's an expert in Polyjuice Potion?
He then speak out as the quiet Raizel beside Elliot peeked in.
"What year you are attending now?" He asked simply. And it did took some moments before Elliot could answer as much as to his confusion why did he question that. Raizel made a cough as he was the only one that isnt used to not using formal ways.
"1st?" Elliot responded. And Vail gulped, "Isn't that illegal?" He says back as he daringly questioned his supposedly boss out. Elliot deadpanned. "And how so?" He asked.
"You're already old, why start your youth again by acting out as a kid?" He straightly got to the point.
And Raizel chocked. He keeps in his half laugh nervousity. He wants to answer Vail himself but it would be disrespectful to his master.
Elliot grinned, smirking in defiance.
"And what made you say that? " He didn't gave out the answer quickly. Interested at the white haired hunk in front of him. Are these kind of hairs natural these days? And did puberty changed of its now turned into turning yourself have some good looks and soft face? Elliot was directing those questions to the hunk. He's handsome as hell. No homo.
Vail continued in, satisfied that Elliot proceeded more.
"It matches right. When you came, others said your real form is a black tall man, though might seems weak, is actually strong. You don't like being called a kid, and prefer others to talk to you in the same manner they talk to their age group. You're very talented and powerful. You taught us in a good way, so what makes all of that coming from a child like you? "
His voice has the confidence it was right. Some arrogant hints between the words.
Elliot nodded his lips going upward a bit. Yes, he made some crucial pointing. He can be a good detective.
But unfortunately, he was an overthinker. He should accept what is in front of him. As going to the deep self of a person might be damaging to itself.
"Flattering really, but then, perhaps why did I didn't have any wands at all whatsoever? Nor why did I came back from the orphanage? Maybe why I liked chocolates?... oh wait, everybody likes that-"
"Well, your a good thinker. But you should accept what I am. Insulting really..." Elliot crunched up his face putting his curled fist into his heart rubbing it in a playful manner. But he smiled, Vail might be rebellious but when it comes to these things, he's very respectful and good.
Vail had a look of disbelief. Incredulous. His face displays disappointment. Like any of his words were not taken seriously and answered truthfully. He probe into the topic more, unyielding. "Then tell me atleast how you're this good? Any normal mentality can say you, a kid-" He smirked, intentionally giving sympathy to the word. "Is not 'normal'....."
Before Elliot answers, he continued his reasoning, giving out good evidences.
" The Owlers became my very fist companions I admit. And it's overwhelming how they're all strong, like it's just normal to see bunch of beast powered wizards bundled up together. I sometimes questioned why you recruited me even. I doubt that I was enough for the team. I really respected them despite my tomroublemaker attitude," He let out his feelings about the team. Admitting his bad traits himself.
Elliot gulps seeing how deeper the topic got in.
But he will try to keep it normal. In the other hand, Raizel was starting to crunch his eyebrows. Disappointed at the attitude Vail gave in.
But it seems Elliot was gulping, trying to find the right words. And Raizel just let Vail off juts this once..
The mug look of Vail showed up, was he right? Elliot is gulping, he's right, right?
Elliot smirked baiting him into his expectancy only to he dissapointed later on. He was clearly annoyed now. The other Owlers were all gone into the cars, the mediwizards only waiting for Vail. Elliot knew there was not time to waste, as he might danger the others, as well as himself. He could still feel the wounds bleeding out all over his body and everyone is just acting like it's normal and alright. Wasting time, Vail will make others wait as they talk. And some of the Owlers might be in grave state now. And leisurely taking time wouldn't be a good idea.
"You know what? Whether what you believe, I don't care. Quit if you're dissapointed. I'm an 11 years old orphaned and you can't do anything about it. I will be attending Hogwarts this year and you can't do anything about it. I'm trained by my Master, and you-"
Elliot stopped, emphasizing the next sentence.
" You. Cannot. Do. Anything. About. It"
Raizel stared at the sudden tension. This is what exactly he meant earlier. You pissed him off, your done.
Elliot left off as he purposely made that statement. The others will be in grave danger if Vail doesn't soon go with them. So technically, he was angry just for a play. But the others seems tooked it off seriously.
But he was stopped as an iron gripped halts him so from moving. It was the recognizable white non- calloused hands of Vail.
"Send me to Hogwarts....."
"...."
They stared, up, down, up down. up dow-
'Oka-....."
'Now what the fuck is this kid? He made me go all through that trouble just for that simple...'
'Motherfu-'
Elliot's soul was left in the air. As they stared for a minute in the very same position.
☪️ ☪️ ☪️
He made himself heal for a bit, hearing the birds waking up singing their sweet little songs that wakes the people up. It means it's already morning, lots of time already have already passed unknowingly. He thought it was only about 12 am or something, but looking at his silver watch, it seems it's already in between 4 and 5 am.
After healing, all the Owlers including Vail are sent off to their cars, as Elliot ordered the mediwizards to drive and bring them back to the company.
He was still in disbelief. That guy was unbelievable. He waddled all those times because he's embarrassed to say he wants to have an education again straightly, as he was expelled from Durmstrang.
Elliot of course didn't really took it of as a serious matter. But it is indeed a problem. Elliot need some connections in Hogwarts to make Dumbledore accept Vail. That's why he didn't specify if he would do it or not, as he might disappoint Vail if he can't get to Hogwarts.
He's actually only 14, God dang 14. After getting expelled from his family and Durmstrang, he had no choice then but live his own life. That's why he took the Owlers as his 'first companions'. Much like Elliot, who never really had friends in the past.
But only time will tell. As it's one of his boy's request, he will try to find a way while he's in his 1st year to get him in.
Passing that matter, Elliot just sighed going to the half asleep Raizel in the corner.
"Bud, are you aight?" Elliot asked as he approached his state. Raizel came off surprised. As the sudden voice woke him up. And it's his master at that.
He bowed, apologizing, "I'm very sorry sir". He finished off with that usual sir. It's too much Elliot doesn't even bother anymore.
"Can you apparate still?.... Two person perhaps," Elliot made his question clear. It's just basically an indirect way of saying can he apparate himself and Elliot to the orphanage.
"Very much so, please," He nodded responding. He offered his arms to grip on. And Elliot thankfully grab so. Apparating, it still came off as a dizzy small moments. It's like being sucked by a vacuum only to find yourself into another place. You're being squeezed in. That's what makes it uncomfortable. They were in front of the orphanage. Seeing the sunrise in the side. Totally not a good partner for the bad house. Elliot turned around, about to say something only to find himself alone. Raizel seems to exhausted and quickly apparate back.
He sighed...yeah, there's always that moment where we will find ourself alone....
Laughing, he cursed himself by his terrible sense of humour.
He knocked on the door, expecting for someone to open. But there was no sound. Everyone is still asleep..
He opened it, to be welcomed by none. His feet were light. Discreet sounds. Sound of silence one might say. Looking left and right like a rat going to its food cheese, he goes up to the stairs sneaking. Arriving at the ground, he opened then their room in relief, finding two snoring buddies. The other one was covered by the book he gave earlier, presumably fallen asleep while reading. The other was in a weird position. Her salive dried near her mouth. Justin and Tasia of course.
He left them off in peace. Caring for himself first. He naked his upper body bare. Seeing two cut open wounds, dried thick blood surrounding it. Pink in color, freshly made.
He sneered by the ironic smell... God damn it he needs to stop with his jokes. The blood containing iron displayed a metallic smell. And the dried blood within his mouth was also giving the taste. Gross but it's his own blood.
The scars are still there, and some open wounds that putting an alcohol would make anyone scream, maybe even Snape....
He was left with enough mana to heal himself. Will be long time though. Doing some basic episkey spell wandless and nonverbal, some minor wounds started healing in just a drop of sand. He is left alone, healing himself.
Only to be interrupted by the supposedly sleeping Justin, now staring at him in obvious curiosity. He immediately stop his hands. Leaving his wounds all alone. He saw it. Justin obviously saw it. His eyes were creepily gazing at Elliot's one. Like he's about to pierce a spear or some kind.
Elliot draws his eyes away embarrassed. What should he do now?
He had no words to explain yet. And Justin got up, sending him his lasts glint, going away downstairs. Elliot had a sigh of relief. He can't believe he's almost caught. And from an intelligent perspective observing kid too. But he's very odd. He didn't even question what was he doing even after seeing it. The old Justin would definitely do that..
He continued healing, constantly staring at the door in front of him, also to Tasia, which had no signs of really waking up. He immediately then halts as a knock ws made. It was from another person, as his roommates won't probably knock on their own room.
Stopping again, with his bare body, he opened the door surprising the girl that stood, suddenly flustered by his abs turning into an exploding tomato with her excessive blushing.
"U-ah-uh....."
Elliot only gulped. Waiting for her to end it already with their uncomfortable state.
"Just-Justin is calling for you!"
With her squeaky voice, she rans off and Elliot wondered for a second. Will he confront him after what he saw?
He got his shirt on clothing himself. Leaving Tasia alone in the room, he left off going downstairs to see loads of people already awoken. It seems 5 am is their morning time.
Most of them have tangled hairs, bloody saliva dried in their mouth, their eyes half awake. Elliot ignoring those off, he saw Justin cleaning some pots while talking with a boy.
Elliot exhaled and got up to him after waiting for the boy to be gone. Justin noticed his presence immediately. And stopped his work.
"You got something for me?" Elliot asked the other.
Justin nodded.
"Right, here"
He gave a brown big folder with flat surface. Meaning, not that big is inside.
"What is this?" Elliot asked, never remembering if he ordered any Owlers or Raizel to do something.
"Oh.. thought you would know..."
"It appeared on the mail box outside. First time we got one so I got curious. Got your name on it, seems a letter I think...."
