Goodbyes and new beginnings

CHAPTER 8

It was 6pm the family all went home after the burial,The siblings uncle decided to take them in,but they decided to live in their family's home,he would be coming over often to check up on us and make sure we were doing alright.

"We'll told him we'll be fine."they replied

The siblings both arrived home at 7:30pm

"Hey victor look what they gave us"

She brought out a gift basket full of food,with a letter that read:

"We'll always be there for you"

"How nice of aunt sandra"victor replied after reading the letter.

"And check it out, clothes!!.....aww but there all men's outfits and why are they all black?"

He remembered what Ignatius said.

"I'll take those!"victor quickly grabbed the cloth from her

"But i thought you didn't like dark outfits?"

"..."

"Well whatever take 'em, but I'm keeping this t-shirt"

"sure..."

"I'll check the rest tomorrow for now I'm tired,I'm going to take a shower then I'll make dinner."

"Huh?Oh,yeah,sure."

POV victoria.

Hmm, what's going on with him,is he still traumatized by our parents deaths?....no,no,he didn't look sad at all,what could he be thinking?

I'll quickly finish here and try to get it out of him..

*Thirty minutes later*

Maybe the quick shower thing might have been wrong but the rest will happen, alright time for dinner!

I got to the living room and saw he had already made dinner,chicken salad,was my favourite,he set it up with dressing on the side,but why would he make this?Why now?

"Hey sis i made dinner for tonight"he said with a smile.

"I'm sure it won't he as good as my cooking but I'll try it."

[Takes a bite]....It's so good,i think I'll almost cry,i knew he could cook but this is great.

Even more suspicious.But I kept eating

"is it good?"he asked

"Is there anything your hiding?"i asked

"I-i'm not hiding anything"

"Well look at the time it's 9pm, I'm going to bed"*yawn"

i finished eating and went to bed.

"Oh good night sis."

"Night..*Yawn*"

*Clank*

"Huh? what's going on?"

what's the time,i checked my phone it says 2:23am

I walked to the living room to see my brother dressed, carrying a back pack.

"Where are you going?"i asked

"I'm sorry but i have to go,i can't take it anymore, something about our parents death isn't sitting well with me,it was feels planned and i want to find who ever did it!"

"What makes you think leaving is best way to find the person?!"

"..."

"Your splitting up our family for this?!

i get it,your feeling entitled because you're special now,so now everything must lie on your shoulders."

"..."

"We're you even going to say goodbye?!!"

".....bye sis"

He walked out the door without looking back,i ran after him,it was cold outsides with winds blowing dirt in my eyes.

"PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!"

POV: victor

Don't worry i won't!

Ten minutes later i arrived at the motor park i nearly got kidnapped at for our rendezvous,i saw someone coming, It's anna.

"..."

"Well?Aren't you going to say anything? whatever i came to pick you up"

"...."

We took a short walk untill we reached a dead-end wall in the park.

"So where are we going?"

"Take my hand"she said with outstretched hand

"Why?"i asked

"You need to be touching me in order to pass"

"Then your shoulder will do"i said as i placed my hand on her shoulder.

"Tch.....why not my hand? you shy or something?"

"If there's wasn't another option i would have"

"humph.... somehow i miss the old you"

"....."

We passed through the wall as warped up to the location i found myself the first time.

The boarding school themed place,with a furnished living room in the middle.

We took the elevator as usual and went to his office on the 7th floor where the mid twenty lady opened up.

"Welcome victor, it's a pleasure to see you again"he said in a fairly excited way.

"Same"

"You don't sound pleased,well ignore that for now,i see you wore what i sent"

"....."

"Not much of a talkative anymore huh?"

"Can we get down to the test?"

"Not now,later in the day while everyone is at full power,but for now,miss alice will show you your room,Get some rest."

"Sure"

The woman in her 20's name was apparently alice. She took me to a room on the second floor,it was like a small-medium room with my bed next to the window,a closet, There was a bathroom with a translucent glass,a bathtub,mirror...etc but no toilets ,i guess that one is somewhere else. So much for appearances.

"Hey alice, where's the restroom?"

"Open this door"

There was a sliding door by the left of the of the bathroom i hadn't noticed.

"Okay get settled in and I'll come get you by whenever you wake up"she said while leaving.

she closed the door behind her.

I feel so awkward right now,but this isn't the time for that, let's get some practice in and then some sleep.

I practiced my abilities for 3 hours before going to sleep.

I woke up by 11:30am,I wasn't in great shape but at least I'm not tired.

I took a shower ,put on some clothes and went outside my room where i met miss alice waiting.

"Did you wait long?"

"Not really i was just coming to check in you"

"Well then shall we?"

We got into an elevator, and it took us to the fourth floor,it was a whole research facility,with an arena type place,where i saw four people waiting inside.

"Ignatius what's this?!" i asked slightly annoyed

"It's the test i was talking about,you have to fight and win against those guys with your ability"

"You said your saving people from being lab rats hows this any different?"

"I'm not making them do it they're free to decline anytime they want,and besides two of them have been with me since they were kids,they're kinda like my kids i wouldn't do any harm to them"

"Hmm,fine I'll fight but if your "kids" gets injured it's not on me"

I walked into the white arena, before i could blink i saw one of them in front of me.

He was boy wearing jogging attire, sweat pants,sneaker,tight shirt.

Another boy in the back who was way taller than me, I'm 178cm but he looks like a 184cm. He was well built, alittle muscular but not veiny,he wore a dark T-Shirt that showed off his build,black shorts and sneakers. A girl busy playing with her phone,she wore black leggings,a crop top and white sneakers and the last one was anna ,she was wearing a red sports bra,ash sweat pants,and black shoes.

She was pretty hot.

All four of them vs me.
