Chapter 9 - 9. Mommy Returns

Knights POV

it's Wednesday and I'm supposed to be in school but caleb's sick and since we no longer have "parents" I have to stay at home and take care of him.

I woke up to him shivering under his covers his temperature high and he was very hot, When I saw him my first instinct what's to call mum, but then I remember that she wasn't at home I'd just returned from Walmart ,where I got him some drugs ...

I'll probably have to make soup for him and me and force him to eat, I'm sure he wants pizza but that will make him vomit and I don't really know what I'll do if he pukes... he's managed to make it from his room to the sofa and is watching TV in the living room.

"Hey man"

"Hey..."

"So I got you some drugs but I'll need you to eat something first"

"Pizza"

Of course....

"No man you can eat junk food or you'll throw up"

"Oh mannn..."

"I know it's fuckedup I'm going to whip up some porridge for you"

"I think just the thought of that makes me want to puke"

"Very funny Caleb"

I walk over to the kitchen to make some porridge for Caleb and myself - I kind of feel sick too.

I wasn't the best at cooking but I could whip up something, I heard Caleb shouting and I quickly ran out of the kitchen ,Caleb was shivering now as heb try to stand I looked and saw mum by the door the knife in my hand fell to the floor and made a cackling sound both mum and Caleb turn to face me.

I really don't know what I'm feeling right now anger no! hurt maybe... I hate being confused of my emotions - I hate it mum was crying as she made her way across the foyer, Caleb was still shivering wordlessly I went over to him and use the blanket wrap around him drawing him closer to myself

"Knight...

I was vibrating now and in a few seconds I knew what was going to happen....

"It's been 3 weeks mum...'

"I know I can explain .... I"

I let out a sardonic laughter I'm pretty sure I sounded like the devil himself....

"I'm sure you can, you left your children for three weeks mum, three goddamn weeks did you know how we ate, how we got to school how we fucking did anything

"I'm sorry.... I'm sorry...."

"You're not, you only care about yourself and the God for seeking sperm donor we call a father"

"Don't speak of your father in that manner"

I laughed menacingly as I walked over to meet her I couldn't really know what colour my eyes were at the moment but I was sure they are changed, possibly to dark gold when my powers were at it's fullest.

I wasn't human anymore only one thought in my head at that moment... catastrophe destruction, mayhem oh wait that's three words I'm sure they all come together you know.

I could hear a distant calling of my name it was so distant and far away..

"Knight bro please"

Bro... I'm no one's bro think about it it does rhyme a little.. I am Brainac I am all that I choose to be and more...and yet the stupid voice won't stop, it was affecting me strangely

almost immediately I felt someone grabbing me from behind... what audacity!!! I felt something soaking my shirts... tears..

That faint calling of my name..

"Knight.. knight.. it's me Caleb please come back to me"

"Caleb..."

"Knights... are you there?"

"I think, what happened ...where is mum?..

she left immediately you started goings beserk screaming that you're not a son something about you being possessed by Satan"

"Oh god"

I had lost control and forgotten that Caleb was sick and there was porridge in the fire, I smelt the burning coming from the kitchen

Christ help me...

Alejandro's POV

I had just returned from my office and was settling in today had been hectic with all the issues I'm having in Diacom, I hear my phone ringing urghh!!!.. must be one of the investors or shareholders..... can't I have peace for like 1 hour , I walk over to the table where I dropped the phone.

"Hello"

"Good evening Mr. Alejandro"

Ok even if this dude was one of my shareholders he seemed awfully calm.

"Good evening please who am I speaking to?'

"That is not important"

"I think i if you're one of my shoulders so I can assure you that you will....

"I am not one of your shareholders rather do I work for diacom"

"Ok so how did you get my number and what do you want?"

"How I got your number is of no importance Mr Alejandro, however I have a proposition for you"

So I have began to think that this is probably a prank call from one of those street thieved who are trying to make ends meet, I'm a business man and I do like business propositions and why this man sounded strange the least I could do was to hear that whatever crap he has to say.

"Hmmm...so I don't know what you think you can offer me but I'm no mood for games I suggest...

"Diablos.. went missing did it not?"

"How the hell do you know about that?"

He actually laughed...

"For someone of your calibre and status who runs a multi-millionaire company you do seem to be slackening these days- but I digress i presume you're looking for answers"

"Indeed I am"

Excellent I have answers for you, meet me next week Monday at saint Augustus Street v block at the "your bar"

I was about to reply him when the line went dead.

I'll probably tell Ethan to try and trace the number but something tells me I won't be able to find it, who am I kidding?

This phone is probably 10 feet under the ocean together and for men like this they don't use cell phones most probably burner phones that can't be traced... the wheels are turning in my head.. whoever this guy is, he meant business and I needed answers.
