I didn't want my mom to miss my reply. It came out so loud that my fork on top of my microwave shook a bit and fell off the top. I froze right there in shock...
"What have I done!!!" I said outloud.
I rushed down stairs as fast as I could... it looked like I slid down the railing it was so fast. My mother was holding her head.
"What just happened?" My mom just asked.
I could feel Cain hurting as well. It felt like my ears were starting to bleed from the loud sound.
"Mom are you ok?" I asked worried about her.
"What the hell what that sound? It was so loud that I blacked out for a sec and hit my head on the railing. Onyx what the hell was that sound?" Mom asked me kind of dazed and also angry.
"Honestly Mom, I have no clue. It hurt me as well. I think it came from my phone when I clicked on a link on accident." I replied.
I touched my ears and indeed there was blood coming out of my ears, just a little bit of blood but still blood. I showed my mom the blood and she went from pissed off at me to worry.
"Are you ok Onyx? Is the pain bad? We might need to go to the hospital and have your ears checked out." My mom said getting quieter and quieter as she spoke.
"Mom, I don't need to go to the hospital. I promise you if I feel things are getting worse or if they don't get better... I will go and get checked out tomorrow. Ok mom?" I replied.
"Well at least we know that you can still hear. Now here is the thing from the school. I want to see it right after you open it. I think its the midterm grades for your last year semester. You are an adult now so I can't open it up anymore." My mom stated.
I opened up the mail and saw that it was exactly what she thought it was. I looked over my grades and saw that I had straight A's except a B in my gym class for lack of ability. I smiled about that one thinking that now things would be different as I am faster now then I was. I can now speed up a bit and show that I am acutally putting in an effort versus trying as hard as I can and still being told I wasn't good enough and struggling to get even a B. I handed it over to mom and turned around.
"I am going to head back up to my room now and see if I can figure out what happened. You are correct mom and I have all A's but gym again. It is at least a B. I have a few weeks to try to keep it a B or see if I can do something to get an A in there." I replied as I walked away.
"Straight A's but gym... I hope she can keep up the grades and do her job at the same time. These grades will get her into a good college or prevent her from being able to get into the college she wants to go in." My mother mumbled to herself as I was walking away.
I whispered, "Cain, are you ok? Do you know what that was that happened?"
"Master, you used my ability to enhance my voice. It was something I could do when I was a terran. I am sorry, I did not know I could still do that. I didn't even remember that I could do it until you pulled it from me. I was always scared to figure out what I might be able to do as my last Master didn't like different and made us do really bad things if we could do special things. I will try to see what I might be able to do. I will do my best to try to remember what I could do as a terran as I have been told I was quite special back then by people who use to know me before I was turned. Apparently it was a huge loss to the village when I was turned. It was why they didn't kill me with a lot of others. When they captured my old master and seethe, most were killed. Those that were something to the village are those of us that are left now a days." Cain replied.
"We should go and talk to some that remember you from before to find out what alll you can do." I replied back to Cain. "Now I will eat and get ready to test our link that we have."
"By your command Master I will head back to your room now, everyone is resting or asleep and I reinforced the command that they are to stay in the room if they do get up. The door is still locked as well. Both of them where checked and are secure." Cain said.
"Very good Cain," I replied.
I pulled my food out and started to eat my 5 cheese rigatoni. It was pretty good and I decided to wash it down with my favorite soda drink because of its name, Croak. It was a very funny name for such a brand but I love the orange vanilla flavor as well as the cherry flavor. When I finished both, my drink and meal I put in my stuff bread into the microwave and went over and picked up my special water bottle. It was called a Cirkul and it had unique flavor cartridges that flavored my water with vitamins and/or caffeine. My current flavor was orange and it tasted just like orange juice without the calories. I filled my waterbottle up in my sink with cold water and brought it back just in time for my 4 cheese pizza stuffed bread to be finished cooking in the microwave. It only takes 2 minutes in order to cook one of them.
I headed up to my bedroom with the stuffed bread and changed into a comfortable set of pajamas.
"OK now Cain I want you to relax and see what you can feel, taste or see right now." I said quietly.
"I feel pain in my ears, and heat on my hand. You must me holding something warm or hot. I can taste an odd taste in my mouth that isn't bllod but it is nice. I am guessing its the lingering take of the food or drink you just ate. As for seeing, as of right now I can't see anything except the back of my eyelids. Sorry Master, I guess I won't be able to see things from you." Cain replied.
"Try opening your eyes while maintaining your connection with me." I said hopeful.
Sure enough I could feel right away his excitement. I knew what his next words would be so I started looking around so he could see more. I can't believe that I was worried it would be taxing for him to connect with me this way but in fact it was energizing me in a way I never expected.
"This is my bedroom," I said. I then got up and walked over to the railing and looked over to show him the rest of my personal tower of an apartment/bedroom in my Mom's house.
"You have your own set of stairs in your bedroom, that is so cool. You really are nobility both in and out of the game." Cain said with wonder.
I walked over to my mirror and Cain goes, "Master I can see you, you look almost the same as in game. Alfred told me that his master looks different outside of the game. So I was expecting the same to be said for you but its not true other then what you are wearing. Its very soft and comforting."
"I will now try to link and see what I can see from you now Cain." I said to Cain.
"Yes Master," Cain replied.
The next thing I knew was a loud alarm going off.
