Bab 2: GIFT
I wasn't going to let my guard down, after all someone had just broken into my dorm. I was wondering how they did it without my watch as it was the only key that could open my dorm.
I still had my hands up in a fighting stance "w-who's there, s-show yourself, I'm not scared of you, I know judo".
I wasn't lying when I said I know judo, before coming to this school, I usually attended a judo class for two weeks. I stopped immediately when I realized how painful breaking your nose was.
But it still counted as I knew a few moves. Anyway back on my dorm.
After a few minutes of waiting and screaming at no one, I finally put down my hands as it was obvious that no one was here.
I went closer to my desk, I looked at the two objects lying there.
One was letter and the other was a white orb.
I picked up the letter and and read it's content "Dear chase, we've sent you a present for your upcoming birthday, it'll help you grow stronger so in the future you'll be able to protect yourself and the people close to you. I know you have a lot of questions to ask and we promise to give you the answers you're looking for, when the time is right, and we also want you to work hard and become stronger, the faster you progress, the faster you get closer to the truth, we're really missing you and we need you by our side to become a complete family. Stay safe, we're watching you. Love... Mom and Dad".
I clenched my fist hard after reading the letter, I clenched my fist so hard that I started bleeding unknowingly
"what kind of joke is this" I wondered who thought it was funny to play a trick on me using my dead parents.
That's when I realized, no one knew the date I was born, but my parents and the school management.
So maybe it was really my parents "but my parents had died fighting the tarris" or so I was told.
"Then if it really was my parents, then why didn't they come back for me" suddenly tears started to escape my eyes
"they didn't know how much insult I had to take from the public, they were the main reasons I had to become an introvert" I clenched my fist tighter.
My gaze fell in the white orb next to me, I picked it up the blood on my hand dripping on it
"if this is supposedly going to make me stronger, then why didn't you give it to me in person. You left me on my own, I don't even know what your faces looked like. Now you're telling me to get stronger" I said angrily
"if this is really from you... then I don't want it" I threw away the blood stained orb towards the door.
Suddenly the blood stained orb started glowing brightly l.
I wiped the tears off my eyes with my bloodied hands "what's happening".
Immediately I was enveloped in a very bright white light, the only thing that was in my mind at that time was "am I going to die".
I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or it was reality, but I could see three animals standing right in front of me.
One was a fox with black and white fur, it had its tail swaying majestically at it's back.
The next one was a snake, a dark green snake with spikes coming out of its back, and the last one was an eagle, it's body seemed to be fully covered in black steel.
We just stood there staring at each other, after a few seconds of our little staring contest.
Those animals then conjured themselves into mist and moved straight towards me, they were penetrating me from every orifice.
I was feeling immense pain "Arghhh" I let out a pain filled scream.
I felt pain physically but not as much as the pain in my soul. It was like they were tearing my soul, then reattaching it.
The sound of bones breaking filled the room, I fell to the floor. It was excruciatingly painful,
"I'm going too die if this pain continues" as if waiting for my call, all the pains stopped in unity. I stood up from the floor brushing my shoulder.
"what was that" I thought "with all those pain, it's surely going to leave a mark" I said.
I walked towards the bathroom, I took a good look at myself in the mirror.
Instead of seeing a teenage boy with wounds and bruises all over his body, I was surprised to see that I had changed literally
"i-i'm handsome" was the first word that escaped my mouth.
my hair had changed it's color from brown to white and black and I no longer looked skinny, I had this athlete physique just like Jake but better, everything about me screamed perfect.
"was all of this done by that orb" I had no idea of what was happening all I knew was I looked like a model now
"let's see how Jake liked this" I said smiling "speaking of jake, I wonder what was the time" I looked at my watch and I was surprised to see that I was behind schedule.
"6:50!" I have just ten minutes, if I'm late Jake won't be happy" I thought, I quickly got my clothes.
I was wearing a black hoodie and a pair of brown jeans. I wasn't stupid, even though I wanted to show everyone my good looks I wasn't ready for any questions and I wasn't a good liar
*BEEP*
I had a hint on had just texted me but I still looked at my watch to confirm my suspicion.
"chase where are you, I've been waiting here for ten whole minutes".
After reading through the message Jake had sent me, I took a look at my watch "7:10" I said "I've got to hurry".
I closed the door behind me, and left for the school field.
On reaching the field, I saw Jake waiting with three other students, two girls and a boy, one of which I knew too well.
The oldest girl had golden long hair, a triangular face, deep blue eyes like the ocean and a very curvy body, she wore a loosed top, coupled with black jeans, her name was Natalia, the daughter of the peacock clan, one of the three prime nobles of the king.
The other girl had this timid look on her face, she had curly black hair, a pair of green eyes that complemented her childish face, she had curves in the right places but not as much as Natalia she wore an off the shoulder top coupled with high waist jeans, her name was Lucy the daughter of a lowly commoner, albeit I knew her name and her background, we've never really talked.
And for the boy, he had a muscular physique, he had brown hair, he wore the normal average clothes.
The only reason why I remembered him was the fact that he has a crush on Natalia and he had tried proposing to her in public which she said no.
He was known all over the school with the nickname "lover boy".
And as for jake, you could expect nothing less from him.
He wore white shirt and dark blue jeans, on his wrist, he wore a gold watch, everything he was putting on screamed perfect.
"there you are man, we've been waiting for you for hours" Jake said
"I'm only 15 minutes late" I tried to put on a confident smile but I just couldn't "well it seems longer, let's not waste any more time here, there's a club waiting for us" i wondered how Jake got in touch with the peacock princess, maybe it's because his father too was one of the prime nobles, but still she doesn't answer to anyone, she had this look of pride written all over her face.
After walking for 30 minutes we came to a halt at a building, on it was written "ALL NIGHT CLUB".
We walked into the club and took our seats "what'll you guys have" Jake asked "I'll have a beer" Natalia said, I didn't really think she would be the kind of person who drinks with all the political stuff going on in her family.
Maybe the whole reason why she accepted to come was that she could finally live a normal life for once.
"Me too" Lucy said.
She has always thought of Natalia as her role model that's why everything Natalia does she follows
"me three" Adam said, well let's just say he still has a little crush on Natalia after she refused him.
"Don't worry chase I've got you covered" Jake said winking at me.
"Why does he always have to be like this, he didn't even give me a chance to choose what I wanted".
"I'll be back guys" Jake said leaving to get our drinks
