Chereads / Black Or White / Chapter 5 - Return

Chapter 5 - Return

The Knight are dumbfounded knowing that Mikayla is adopted. They are too focused on investigating Samuel and neglecting Mikayla itself. They are unable to find anything about Mikayla birth parents. The Wing Tribe value their descendent and will not easily let outsiders to take care of their tribesman. The representative from the Wing Tribe also did not recognise Mikayla as any of his tribesman child.

The other possibility is Mikayla probably comes from another Wing Tribe. After the big magic war five hundred years ago, most of the Wing Tribe are scattered to all the world. Nowadays, you can frequently saw the Wing Tribe on the Southern region than other region.

Mikayla did not show any anomaly and able to go back to the orphanage.

"Teacher Rachel, how many children that receive inheritance just like me?"

"There are about ten children and all of their heritage is being cleansed before they fully awaken so there is no risk for them becoming The Fallen."

"Mmmm, the other children are they also connected with the rebels three years ago?"

"Yes."

"Mmmmm."

"Mikayla, are you worry because your heritage is not being cleansed? The Knight already certain that there is no complication so don't worry."

"Hey! Hey! Mikayla, come and play with us" shouted Harry.

"Go and play with them, Mikayla."

Seven months have gone and the new year is approaching. Mikayla is devastated since he is unable to enjoy his year-end holiday because he has to practise to control his magic and cleansing his heritage. The cleansing process is hurt and there is a chance for him to lose control so The Knight divides the process. Every two weeks for three months starting this month he will receive cleansing treatment at the Ministry Of Magic. They also trying hard to locate which Wing Tribe he belongs to but to this day they did not get a positive answer.

At the orphanage, children are busier than ever because they receive many donations at this time and they also will say goodbyes to the ones that already reach eighteen next year.

"Mikayla are you sure that you can sing during the separation party next week?"

"Of course Cecile, why can't I sing. I am confident in my singing. I practise hard for the party."

"Yeah...yeah. Say someone that make the whole orphanage crying for three days straight and depression for a week because of his singing."

"Oh! Shut up Harry, that was an accident. AN ACCIDENT. It won't happen again. Besides, I already ask Mr Jack about this and he said as long as I control my magic power then everything is fine."

"Okay...okay we trust you, then what song are you going to sing?"

"Well, it is a secret! Wait until the party." Mikayla wink his eye and run away.

"Wait! Gee," shouted Harry.

Mikayla runs to the roadside in front of the orphanage where there is a carriage waiting for him to go to the Ministry Of Magic. He has to do cleansing treatment today. On the way, when he looks at the window, he sees Teacher Rachel. He has not seen her for two weeks because she took a long vacation since her pregnancy reach eight-month. There a man beside her, oh! it is Nelson Summer, her husband. Mikayla watch them entering a clothing store probably to buy some clothes for the baby.

Mikayla arrive at the Ministry of Magic.

"Ouch...ouch."

"Mikayla, I didn't start yet," said Mr Kenny.

"He...he...he. But it is hurt."

"Well, you will get used to it."

After three hours, the treatment ended. Mikayla is brought back to the orphanage and at there he sees Teacher Rachel and her husband once again. Her husband has come to help building the small stage at the garden for the separation party next week.

Mikayla did not go to see Teacher Rachel. He stays at his bed and watches her from the room. He is too tired and wish to sleep but something is bothering him. Teacher Rachel is different today. He noticed it when he saw her earlier at the town. He has his doubt and thinking makes him sleepy and dozes off.

The preparation for the party are going smoothly. Mr Nelson come every day to help with preparation. Today Teacher Rachel come to the orphanage with her husband. She had made some biscuit for the children.

"Teacher Rachel, good morning."

"Good morning Mikayla. What are you doing here in the garden alone?"

"Oh! I was supposed to pick some flower for the party tomorrow."

"Is that so, then we can pick the flower together."

Both of them plucking the flower one by one. Teacher Rachel seems to know a lot about flower, she keep talking about every flower that they pick.

"Teacher, are you one of the Wing Tribe?"

"Thud" the flower basket falls to the ground. Teacher Rachel body suddenly when rigid and she slowly turns her body facing Mikayla.

"What are you talking about? I am just a regular person. I did not have any magic power and hahaha, a Wing tribesman, impossible. What makes you think that I am one of you."

"Teacher Rachel, my eyes, they can see whether someone has magic power or not and I can see your aura right now. I was able to see it since last week besides that I also able to see your Wings, not only you but the child in your tummy, I can see a silhouette of Wings."

Hearing that, Teacher Rachel hold her tummy and stare at Mikayla.

"Did...did you tell anyone about this?"

"No, I was surprised especially regarding the Wings but father used to tell me that black does not mean that someone has fallen."

"Thank you, Mikayla, thank you." Teacher Rachel sits and starts sobbing. It seems she scared. Mikayla sits beside her and pats her back.

"The child in my tummy, did you see what colour it is?"

"Oh! It is white."

"Really! Good, good, good."

"Why? Didn't every Wing tribesman born with white Wings?"

"Yes, usually it is like that, but I was born with black Wings."

"Eh! you were born with black Wings. How? I thought you were once feeling a strong resentment that is why..."

"I don't know, but my life is hard because of my Wings and I decided to seal my Wings and unfortunately because of the baby my magic power is going haywire. I manage to hide it but it seems you able to see it."

"Did Mr Nelson knows about this?"

Teacher Rachel shakes her heads. It seems that Mr Nelson did not know about this. After talking and promise to keep this secret Teacher Rachel calms down and we head back to the orphanage with the flowers. They were arranging flowers until all the place are full of it. Then, Teacher Rachel and Mr Nelson say their goodbyes.

At night, on the alley, a man is hiding in the shadow and he is observing a particular house. He is been doing that since a month ago. Based on the poster, he is sure about that person but something feels off.

"What in the world happen? Did you lose your magic power after that fight?" the man murmurs to himself.
