Chapter 2: The Truth
It had gone past the hour mark when Harry and Miss Gatewood returned and all the adults had left to chat about what happened, leaving Ciara and Oscar alone watching tv, "So Ciara, what do you do for fun around here?" Oscar questioned carefully not trying to pry to much, "Well I like to study for school, because you learn new things each time you read the textbooks, according to my dad we are taking you and me shopping for our school stuff tomorrow." She smiled in response, knowing more questions where coming her way and she was prepared, "What's this school?" Oscar asked merely, "It's a boarding school, do you want to see the uniform and text books?" Ciara hummed proudly and Oscar nodded and the pair headed to her room.
Once the pair where sat comfortably in the black and pink bedroom, Ciara showed Oscar her school books which peaked the young boys interest, especially the titles, 'Magic 101: For Beginners', 'Vampire 101: For The Young', Shifters 101: For Those Who Had Never Shifted Before' and 'supernatural history 101', "Ciara why are these books apart of the school lessons?" Oscar asked utterly confused, to Oscar this reality with his new family and new school was becoming more unreal, the supernatural didn't exist, did it? Oscar asked himself in his thoughts as Ciara Brought him back to reality, "This is the uniform." She said avoiding his question and getting out a dark blue blazer with Yellow trimmings on it with a black skirt, a white t-shirt and a black hoodie with yellow trimmings, "This is my uniform from last year, each year group have different colours, you will have white trimmings this year, whilst I have orange." She explained like it was a normal thing.
"Ciara? Oscar? Where are you? Can you both come downstairs, please" Someone shouted from downstairs, "We are in my room, Auntie Nicole" Ciara shouted as she dragged Oscar by the arm out of her room and downstairs, "Hello, Oscar and Ciara, Oscar you probably have a lot of questions about everything, so why don't you sit down and we'll explain." Miss Gatewood said as Oscar carefully placed himself on the sofa, "My school isn't for mortals to put it in words, this school is for the supernatural." Miss Gatewood explained seeing the shock on the young males face, she inhaled deeply before continuing, "Oscar to answer your confusion, yes the creatures you have heard about in fairy tales when you was younger do exist and you and your family are apart of that world, you are what are known as pure-blooded tribrids which consists of a vampire, a witch or wizard and a animal shifter but you also are a void kitsune, an elemental which means you can control the elements and finally you are a natural teleporter." Miss Gatewood voice echoed in the front room as she let the information sink in to the young boy, she knew he would take it well, because after all he was a Riddle and they are the most powerful family in the unnatural world and the mortal world.
"That's awesome!" Oscar exclaimed excited at the mere thought of his childhood dreams becoming real and him really being apart of this whole new world, "Aren't you scared?" Ciara asked like she was treading on thin ice, as Oscar shook his head in a way of expressing that he had no fear of the world he just learnt was real, as Ciara Run up to her younger cousin and embraced him a hug, as the adults smiled at the kids.
"Well I must bid you goodbye, and I will see both of you at the beginning of term, goodbye everyone." Miss Gatewood exhaled as she turned into a mist of fog and slowly turned into nothing, where the once was a pristine woman now stood nothing, "Welcome home, son" Nicole said as everyone nodded in agreement but that one male that had disappeared earlier still wasn't here, so like any child would Oscar decided to question his new family about it, "That man, the man that disappeared earlier, who was he?"
"He is your father, Oscar" Harry said kneeling down to the younger males hight, before continuing, "He's never had the responsibility of dealing with a child, let alone his own child, so please bare with him, he's still learning to be a parent" He finished as he stood up, "How 'bout we show you to your room." Lisa hummed picking up a now yawning Oscar, as everyone said night as they where leaving the main room, after what seemed like a century, Oscar now laid in a bed that was pressed right up against a radiator, just like his bedroom back at the Morris house the walls where painted blue.
The young male lay in bed for what seemed more like a few years, than a few minutes, in that time a lot of small nagging voices in his head, nagging and picking at his thoughts, belittling him like always, the smallest thing that could of happened in his day, those small voices would make them even bigger than they originally where, it scared the young boy more than it should, he started to swell up and cuddle up to the bear that he was previously unaware of its presents in his bed mere moments before in his bed, but his whimpers could barely be heard as he let the darkness overcome him, whist everyone in the house went to sleep a few hours later each of them at different times Oscar first and then Nicole last after having to hear her only sons whimpers and tears before it all going silent which she gathered was him being asleep which calmed her to a point but not enough to let her rest but she wished she could of been there for the young male as she settled down next to her husband Kai wondering what tomorrow will bring.
