"Wake up Tim," Maddie cried as she tried to wake Tim up a he laid unconscious on the floor after what just happened. She wanted to call the ambulance so bad but she knows best not to, she had been avoiding the hospital since they have been living in the city, he never falls sick and they have no reason to go to the hospital.
Tim woke up suddenly, like he wasn't just lying on the floor unconscious, Maddie felt relieved to see him awake, she quickly hugged him. Tim's face was showing confusion all over, he sure have a lot of questions on his mind.
"What in the world just happened?" He asked.
"I was floating in the air and I could feel fire in me mom," Tim explained.
"I really can't explain full but I will explain in the best way I can," Maddie said as she stood up and they both went to have their seat in the living room.
Maddie knows already that this is the time she will have to tell him everything, Tim has no idea where he is from, who he is and what is going to happen to him from now on.
"So?" Tim asked expecting her response.
"So, this the reason I asked you to not have a birthday party today, the truth is, you are not a normal human being, you are a supernatural, you are not even human, and you carry the fire dragon in you," Maddie explained.
"What?" Tim asked looking like she just spewed complete nonsense, unable to grab what she just said.
"I know you can't understand, it's too complicated for you to understand, even I didn't when I found out, not to talk of you. Anyways, your father is not a human, he was..." Maddie explained the story in the best way she could for the next hour, Tim sure had a lot of questions but he just did not know the way to ask them or how to even ask it as it seems stupid and ridiculous to him, everything is to him.
"The fire dragon in you is very powerful and in the history of your father's world, it has been extinct for a very long time, the host of the fire dragon is also considered as a very powerful being in history, so many people are after you life right now. For long the fire dragon in the host will remain dead and redundant but when the host of the fire dragon is eighteen years old, the dragon is awakened and when the dragon is awakened, it alerts other beings form the spirit world. And when they come, they just want to destroy you, we don't know when but they can start coming any moment from now, that is why I prevented you from hosting any party, we can't afford to have such a disaster from happening.
Tim was just shocked and was just sitting and thinking over everything she said.
"It's getting late, I need to sleep so I can wake up early tomorrow," Tim said as he stood up and went to his room to sleep it all out.
When it was morning, around seven o'clock, Tim was already prepared for school, this was his first time of doing such, he realizes that he has a lot of responsibility and has to be less carefree than before.
As he was done with wearing hus casual top and jeans, he headed straight to the living room and saw Maddie holding a cake in her hands.
"I know yesterday was a shock, but it can't stop us from celebrating your birthday," she said.
Tim laughed and ate out of the cake in a plate that is on the table. They both laughed and enjoyed the morning like they normally would on every if his birthday, that was the only day in the year that they have a beautiful morning, the other mornings were usually rather opposite.
"I'm off to school," Tim announced as he went to get the door.
"Tim!!" Maddie called, and Tim turned around.
"Be safe," Maddie said.
"And anything or anyone that seems weird to you, run from it okay?" She asked.
"I'm okay mum," Tim reassured his mum before closing the door shut.
Tim was still pondering on what happened and everything his mom explained to him.
Tim finally got to school and went to his class early, this is also like his first time of going to class this early so people were surprised to see his face.
He had his seat and Kelly came to meet him.
"Don't tell me you came early because it's your birthday?" She asked.
"As if, If I had the chance I would sleep more cause its my birthday," Tim answered.
"Anyways happy birthday," Kelly said as she brought a present to him.
"Well thank you," Tim said as he hugged Kelly.
Other girls that had a crush on Tim, started coming to give him presents, some even gave him flowers to profess their love to him.Thomas also came and gave Tim a box of gift too.
Few minutes later Olivia and Carter came, holding presents in their hands too, Tim was shocked as they just joined the school yesterday, and they already know it was his birthday.
Carter came forward and gave him a gift "happy birthday bro," he said and found a place to seat, leaving Olivia right in front of him, Tim was not expecting any gift from Olivia with the little he knows about her. And truly she was not holding any present.
"Happy birthday," she said awkwardly.
"Look, you don't have to say it, and I know you did not bring any gift but thanks, I appreciate your effort for trying," he said.
"Whatever," Olivia left his presence and found a place to sit too for their class.
After long hours of stressful classes and they were all ready to go home, Kelly came up to ask Tim a question as she was confused.
"So we are not holding any party this year?" She asked.
"No," Tim replied.
"You could have at least tried to persuade your mum," Thomas interrupted.
"Nah, I tried and it just won't work for some reasons," Tim explained.
"Well whatever," Kelly said.
"Just make sure you enjoy your day," Thomas added.
"I will," Tim replied as he began to go on his way to his house, he was holiday a bag filled with gifts from his friends, the edible gifts that he received, he had already shared them with his friends.
Tim was already outside the school on his way then he saw Olivia and Carter going the same direction of his house, then he decided to follow them.
"So you guys are staying at wellington street?" Tim asked Olivia and Carter as he finally caught onto them
"Well..yes," Carter replied.
"Wow, I had no idea, I also stay there," Tim said.
"That's great, we can head home together," Carter said while Olivia was basically ignoring Tim.
Tim and Carter were the ones doing most of the talking while Olivia was just silent, during their journey to their house.
When the finally got to Tim's house, he waved to them and started heading to the door till he heard a voice that called his name.
"Tim!!" It turned out to be Olivia that called, Tim's face was full of shock that Olivia could even put his name in her mouth as she doesn't care.
He turned around and saw her coming up to him, w e was already scared because it looked like she wanted to beat him up.
"I forgot to give you something," she said as she brought out a chain from her pocket snd handed it over to him.
"Happy birthday," she said as she gave it to him.
"Wow, thanks," Tim said, he felt really excited like this was the only present he has received all day.
Olivia continued her journey as she left with Carter, Tim went inside the house and went straight to his bed in his room and slept off.
Maddie came back from her store and it was already late at night, so she went to wake Tim up for dinner.
Tin got up and went for dinner, as they were eating, they could feel a cold breeze blowing at them, though the night was cold but the air was colder than normal.
After wards, the window began to shatter into pieces and bats started to flood in, causing Maddie and Tim to get up from their feet and run, but those bats started heading towards Tim, then the came to the center of the house and kept flying in circles till the stayed forming a shape of a human on a black hood.
"Not again!!!" Maddie cried out.
"What is that?" Tim asked in fear.
"One of those after you." Maddie replied.
The man in the black hood brought out a sword in his hand and pointer it to Tim and was running towards Tim and an arrow came from the air and hit the strange man and he turned to check who shot the arrow, then he saw three people standing by the door.
Maddie and Tim also tried to see who that was and apparently the three people standing at the door turned out to be Ariel, Olivia and Carter.
