She happened to be the last person I would want to see Ms.Hilda, who soon quickly approached me and Marvin, she held him like he was some delicate flower and looked at him with care "Did he harm you again?!" She said while I stared on, observing to see what he would say
Marvin shook his head "No", "No? Then what are you doing near him when I repeatedly told you not to several times" she sighed at the end of her sentence. Marvin had his head down "I wanted to talk to him" he whispered
"Go to your room" I turned around and left 'humbly' knowing fully well it was directed at me.
Inside I sat down on my bed as I contemplated "People with rare abilities are usually taken by people with power so how are they still here, and the facility is very good unlike other so called orphanages"
"And they all have abilities, there still has to be someone who would take most of them since they have good abilities or very strong abilities"
"And that Ms. Hilda, I wonder why she treats Marvin like gold, hah, but thankfully she didn't bother me which is a relief"
A few minutes later I heard light footsteps, the person opened the door after a few struggles. The person being Marvin who was holding a rabbit bunny " What are you doing here?" I asked coldly to which he replied "I am here to give you the bunny"
"You're not meant to be here, you clearly know the rules and plus the last thing I need is for that old hag to punish me" "I know but I just don't want to see you alone" his head was down once again it seems he does it when he feels guilty or so.....but that didn't matter what did was for him to leave as soon as possible.
He approached me and sat down beside me, earning his a glare.
"What are you going to name him", "I didn't accept the bunny"
"What's your name?" He asked, making me raise my brows, "Alec"I answered. 'Wait.....what does he need my name for!?'
"Then his name would be Arvec" hearing that left me confused 'What the hell is Arvec!', "huh! Why?" "That's the combination of our names Alec and Marvin"
"I also wanted to apologize for my previous actions towards you" he said as his face turned red
I shifted the topic and asked "How long have you been here?"
He was a little bit suprised but it soon turned to sadness "Since I was a baby" I was shook if someone like him with his rare ability was not taken in by the government and with all the training they do it must have attracted some attention or the other, which clearly means that this orphanage must have a backer with a lot of power, the orphanage even their technology is the latest which I know isnt cheap.
I stared at him suspiciously, he handed the bunny to me and bowed "Please accept it as an apology" then he left
I stared at the bunny and cracked a smile "Arvec,eh" remembering Marvin's smile ' cute' I thought. I also heard him mutter "I should leave before him in trouble".
"Someone actually apologized to me" I touched my face. I oatted Arvec and heard footsteps approaching 'What does she want now!?'
The door was opened as Ms. hilda walked in with a red hair behind her, she pushed the girl in and said "It seems more cursed children are being brought here" then she left leaving this place in darkness once again.
The girl fell down "You'll get used to it" she stayed quiet, after a while I just acted like she didn't exist and slept off after seeing her get on the bed and cover herself.
*The Next Day*
I woke up early and went to wash up and changed my clothes, I opened the door, only to see Marvin
"What are you doing here?" I asked, he stared at me blankly "Am I not allowed to go to the bathroom" he asked or answered I don't know.
I sighed deeply " No it's not that", "then what is it" his blue eyes stared at me confused " I was not expecting anyone here this early"
"Who's the girl?"he asked
"The red hair, I don't know, they brought her here yesterday"
"You didn't allow her near Arvec did you?" As he spoke his expression changed as he looked pissed off and also expecting my answer to be negative.
"No I didn't, oh yes before I forget what do rabbits eat?" I asked, I had to I didn't want it to starve to death and plus it is my first time staying around any animal like this or any infact I had no knowledge about what animals eat only their habits.
He replied earnestly "They eat hay or grass with some green veggies and fresh fruits, but it would be better if they are of good quality and of course keep them away from some plants or foods like meat of any kind as it can make them sick and don't forget some pellets which I have so I'll give you some and the most important one let it go out"
"Thank you" I said...hey if there's one thing I can completely agree with humans is 'repay good with good' and he didn't necessarily cause it, if there were two boys...big boys saying as young as him and who knows how long they have been in this place and this discriminatory environment, you might do the same.
His face flushed red, making me confused 'Why is his face red, has nobody told him thank you before' afterwards he left, allowing me to to continue my business.....I saw him standing outside again.
"I...I forgot something inside but couldn't come inside" he said while gripping the hem of his shirt
"Okay I'm done so you can go inside" I walked back to my room and as soon as I entered I saw the red hair holding MY Arvec and smiling, I grimaced at the sight
"What are you doing?" I asked coldly which doesn't help, with the fact my face is stone. She quickly dropped him and stared at me in fear and ran out.
I hurriedly ran to him and checked on him after seeing everything was alright, I took him outside and let him go on and about, I also did some exercise, listen although it seem like I'm not really into this revenge like not acting hostile towards every single human and one I'm too little, two; no power and more importantly no connection.
This 'orphanage' is definitely not your usual one, so it definitely must have great power behind it, and so they must observe the children for progress and Marvin is the most promising in other words I can use Marvin to get something from this orphanage or to scope the power behind.
After I was done I heard a noise, after momentarily hesitating I followed and reached the back of the building, and saw a small crystal butterfly, It was stuck between two rocks, I lifted one of the rocks, lifted it up to smash it and hit and not a surprise it did not die but the stone did by shattering, poor rock R.I.P.
"Bloody hell" I went to look for any insect after carefully placing a stone right between it's wings, keeping it in place and came back with a lizard instead, and placed it on the butterfly, and watched as the lizard decomposed until nothing was left.
'living matter decomposes, but non living matter doesn't' I thought...oh did I forget to mention the dead grass my bad, I was currently holding a tin box and hoped it wouldn't decompose, I wanted to use glass but it could break and it was see through.
I carefully put it inside, making sure to not touch it out of fear I would lose my hand. I then kept the box under my clothes.
I Picked Arvec up and went inside directly to my room for a short rest before I do my 'chores'. I didn't see the red hair girl inside.
I also didn't see Marvin or any of those brats until evening which meant they were in class. The next day my heart almost leapt out of my chest, I saw the butterfly got out and had blood on it and was...was also on top of me!!!!
"Could I be dead?" I touched my body "Oh, no it's not mine" I said to myself and turned my head to see a bloody red hair with her leg corroding, I jumped out of bed and inspected it, then casted my healing ability on her.
Yes, I can heal not only injuries but even bones and organs, as for my injuries I don't want to.
I managed to unseal only three more of my powers totaling four,with the healing ability being one of them.
I quickly healed her and cleaned her bloody figure, I noticed some wounds on her body but I didn't heal them before I laid her on her bed.
I sat down to meditate and become more proficient, honestly I used this power to stalk people quite a lot, after an hour I stopped. I went outside and finished my chores quite early, surprising her .
The rats were still doing their test. This test was done by everyone and it tested their improvements and if they got high grades they will be taken away...where I don't know.
As I was relaxing, Marvin came to me again, to ask about the red hair. I asked him for the name of the people that were taken away. He said they were recruited by a powerful man.
It had me wondering why wasn't he taken I mean he has great talent but I didn't overthink it.
We went outside and talked for a while before parting as I was about to go inside a figure bumped into me which led me to fall down
"Damn it can't you watch where you are going!?" The figure's body looked familiar until I saw the red hair "Damn red hair you're lucky I'm in a good mood"
I stood up and walked inside, there I saw those twin brats "See it's the cursed child better hope he doesn't get near you"one of them said to which I identified as the older of the one.
The younger one was shy and always did what the other one said "How can she be cursed she reminds me of someone who wasnt born in a good family" the younger one whispered
Honestly they weren't ugly but I just didn't like them so they are ugly in final words.
I ignored them and went on along and took a shower before going to my room and sleept, I woke up later in the night and noticed she had a necklace with a ring around her neck with a ring attached to it, 'where did she get it' I thought as it looked familiar to me but I couldnt place my finger on it.
I stood up to get a further look at it. It was black with blue insignia 'MD'
"MD, I wonder where I've seen this before" I tapped my chin before ultimately going back to bed.
