"No!!! Please dad ! Come back !"
"vivet! vivet! vivet! viv-"
"It's no use , Rene . He's already gone now . We have to accept it ." Nath said packing me back.
"I want to give him a proper farewell . Let's get out of here ."
We were mentally and physically exhausted so none of us could use any kind of magic properly .
We had entered a room where the helpers were sleeping . My eyes were burning from all the crying but I managed to get father's lifeless body onto my back .
We went out the room and walked down the hallway . Our subconscious mind were already taking us to where we entered from . It was still high and we needed a solution . There was no way for us to go out through the front door because we didn't know the way to anywhere precisely .
We decided to work with what we knew and Nath proceeded to jump down the window . The magic being accessible to dad only delayed his deceasing process . He was looking pale and thin , when he was muscular and fit every time .
His body wasn't heavy at all and I was scared that I would break something in him . I was having trouble breathing and I didn't know if I was entirely responsible for his death or not .
Father's body was halfway down , his head upwards and his body down , when his eyes shot open , forcing me to leave my grip on him . "Ahhhhh ! "
Nath , not knowing what happened was fast enough to catch dad , and he was shocked to death too when dad stood up from above Nath .
I was relieved , as well as shocked but I was in more shock when I saw Nate right beside me . He had caught up to our voices . I was still unable to use magic so I tried jumping out . Unsuccessful . I pitied myself . I had no way of knowing what the hell happened to dad , and I was caught . Nate and dad both wouldn't be able to perform any magic for at least 3 to 4 days and they couldn't possibly stay outside and wait for me !
"You guys go and get help ! You won't be able to perform anything right now ...." I lost both sound and vision of both of them as I was dragged by Nate to a dark hallway .
"You ain't gonna get anything from me ! I promise you ." I tried remaining calm but the thought of me not being able to escape doing a single jump was humiliating me.
Nate answered to my question anyway , even though he didn't have to . "You may not have what I need but some of your friends may be more than willing to give away what they know to get you back . "
He was already ready for our arrival . My hunch was that Beth was actually fully in control of Nate , she simply didn't know. I regretted trusting her blindly when I had no idea if she was indeed herself when she confessed to me that day .
"Stop dragging me . I know how to walk . "
"I don't trust you . " Whatever he said , I would be able to escape myself when I get my powers back . It was just too tragic that he couldn't sense his kind of people . I just had to wait for about 4 days and I would be fully recovered .
He took me to a dungeon like cell and I was thrown inn harshly . "I wouldn't want you to die . I'll give you breakfast after a few hours . I'm almost sure that the sun's started rising . "
With that , he left . Right then , I was sure that I would be able to sleep safely since he didn't plan to hurt me . I couldn't believe that II almost wanted to help that disgusting person when I didn't even know that he was sick .
The next three days , I felt like an actual prisoner . Worse , I felt guilty that I had broken into his house .
On the morning of the fourth day , I felt normal . I wasn't tired OR irritated , I felt normal , capable of doing something . I would've taken my chance and escaped using a teleportation spell but I didn't want him to know that I had superpowers until the last moment , when I could defeat him . I still had no precise idea of what powers , other than hypnotizing , Morkoths had .
It was kind of a good thing that Nate judged me quickly to be a human because his guard was completely down whenever we made small talks . I hadn't seen sunlight for a long time and it was the only thing that I had in mind to do the moment I escaped .
The others didn't know that I wanted keep my powers from Nate a secret so I highly doubted that they had tried to save me . I was answered immediately when I saw Cora right next to me , as if she was a wisp of vapor .
"Why aren't you coming back Rene ? You must be fully recovered right now ! Both Jaden and Nath are !"
I smiled at her after looking at my cell door , making sure that there were no footsteps to be heard coming towards me .
"I don't want him to know tat I have superpowers . He thinks that I'm human . "
Cora looked at me understandingly . "We're coming , don't worry ."
With that , she had disappeared into thin air . Before long , I could hear footsteps . I thought that it would be Nate but for the first time since my capture , I was wrong. It was obvious that SHE used magic .Cora was standing right in front of me , keeping the door open .
"Are you coming home or what ?"
I joined her excited . It had been long since I had seen some familiar faces , and it felt great seeing Cora . I hear Nate ACTUALLY coming to my cell this time . I didn't want him to think that I was supernatural so I asked Cora for help .
She waited enough to let him see that II was not alone , she also shouted her chant word for teleportation , which was deeper yet sweeter than mine . I knew for sure now that he knew I had friends with supernatural powers .
