Chereads / "Nostalgic" / Chapter 5 - 5

Chapter 5 - 5

The servant was confused as to who he is referring to

Seeing his confusion Avner tried to enlighten him but not before glancing to where his cousins are to make sure they were not paying attention to their conversation 

" My new tutor "

" Master I'm afraid I did not hear you "

Avner was getting annoyed by this time so he said his next sentence louder 

" The new tutor damn it ! " 

After letting the sentence out he once again he made sure his cousins weren't paying attention to his conversation with the servant 

" Ahhh….the new tutor "

The servant was talking in his normal tone but for Avner it was too loud at that very moment so he slapped him on the arm 

" Auw "

" What do you think you're doing ? "

Avner whispered-scream at him 

" Is everything alright cous ? "

" Yes, yes everything is alright, I was just telling him to bring us some snacks "

" Alright "

after making sure his cousins were convinced and no longer paying him any mind Avner continued his interrogation with the servant 

" Be quite, why do you have to scream like that "

The servant did not consider what he had done was screaming but non the less he apologised 

" I apologise "

" Never mind that just tell me her name "

" Well that's Nephthys "

" Ahh ... .not to act like a spoiled brat but what are we doing here ? "

Today was lesson day but instead of the classroom they were on the bridge right above a river that wasn't too far from their mansion

" you will need more than just books to open your energy "

" So I really do have it, I was always told that I had just very little almost non "

" That's right you have it and quite a lot at that "

" Wow I knew it "

Avner was proudly holding his stomach were the energy was supposed to be " 

" Take your hands off your stomach "

" Yes ma'am "

and he did just that 

" So how is this place going to help me, should I try connecting with nature or something ? " 

 Avner looked at her and Nephthys looked at him and a little smirk appeared on her lips

OH,OH that can't be a good sign 

Avner knew something bad was about to come after seeing her look at him like that 

and he was sadly right….

*splash* 

Naphthys pushed him into the water right of the bridge 

Avner swam to the surface than looked straight at her 

" Why did you do that, it's freezing outside ? "

Nephthys looked down at him from up the bridge 

" So you do know how to swim what a shame "

" What do you mean by tha…."

Avner could not continue because he was pulled underwater. He looked at his foot to see what was pulling him but he saw something unexpected. It was water he was pulled by water, it was something…. snake like made out of water that just wouldn't let go of his leg 

Is she the one doing this ?

while still inside the river Avner could see his master's reflection and she looked as composed as ever even though he was drowning. He was slowly losing consciousness, he was dying but when he thought it was all over a bright light surrounded the snake water and destroyed it liberating his leg, he was now free to swim back to surface but his body did not move. Avner finally closed his eyes 

****

" Cough,cough "

" So you finally decided to open your eyes "

" Wha….What happened "

" You almost drowned "

and that's when Avner finally realised 

" You almost killed me ! "

He exclaimed and abruptly stood up from a lying position to a sitting position

" Lay back down "

Nephthys pushed him back down forcibly 

" Auh "

" I wasn't trying to kill you "

" Well it sure looked otherwise "

" I was trying to harm you "

" Wow how heart touching "

" Stop sulking "

" Why are you acting like you're annoyed when I was the one getting drowned ? BY YOU ! "

" You can thank me later "

" WHY WOULD I WANNA THANK YOU ? " 

" I wasn't the one to free you from the water-snake "
