Chapter 70

"I came here to make amends for my wrongs." I said. 

Although I could not see her expression, she stammered a few seconds before speaking. 

"Are you serious? Do you think just an apology could make everything right?" She said. 

"I know that it will not but I still wish to express my remorse. I have no excuse for my actions on that day." I said. 

"Just come in, she'll be furious know that." Samantha said and opened the door for me to which I walked in. 

"I told you to leave, I can..." Lily would have finished her words but when she saw me her expression changed to one full of anger, her face twisted in anger. 

"What are you doing here?" She said and picked up a vase and threw it at me, it hit my head and crushed but I chose not to move. 

"Get out." She said. 

"I am sorry but I cannot, I came here to make an amends of my actions." I said. She went silent, blood began to drip from the top of my head. Samantha rushed to pick a towel from the bathroom and came over to wipe the blood, but I moved her hand away. 

"It is pointless for you to wipe of the blood if I do not achieve what I came here for." I said and moved forward until I was just Infront of her. "Although I a=cannot offer my servitude, I am giving you my sincerest apology." I said and bowed down to her. 

I bowed for some time, my head started spinning but I refused to move from that position. 

"Alright, I might never be able to get past what you did to me but at least don't make your death my fault." She spoke. 

I then stood up. "Thank you for your mercy, even if you can't find it in your heart now, I hope you do one day. If you can excuse me, I have one more apology to make. 

I went to Sebastian's home, I wanted to knock and see if he was there, but I was unable to do so. Memories of all what I had done to Zack came flooding to my mind, anger had taken me over all that time. 

Dororthy Stark. 

Since I was no heir to the stark family, once I was of age I left and started my own school. It had grown greatly in the capital. Although the gold was one of the benefits, I found more thrill in educating children. One day I got an approach from the magic academy, they wanted me to educate some of their first year were of common birth and were unable to even the most basic of education. Later on, the academy and my school developed a bond, one day three quarter through the year I received a request to come and teach and it had personally come from the principal and was out of the blue. There were no available teachers, so I took on the assignment. When I got there, I was surprised to find a tall built young man who looked to be in his early twenties. Although I found it odd, I asked no questions. Our lessons took place in a mansion. Although the size was not as large, it was a mansion none the less. 

As if we were in the middle of the lesson, a young boy, who looked to be in his teen age, passed by. Mars, my student, with no hesitation stood up and bowed, it was alarming to see this, but I kept it to myself. When he sat down, he seemed happy. In the afternoon just as I was about to leave, I asked him a couple of questions. According to the answers I got, he was actually a student. He, another student and Mars were the only ones who stayed in the huge mansion. HE didn't know why though but he did tell me that those two were incredibly strong. I continued going for my lesson with Mars. 

One day at my office I got a report from one of my teachers. Apparently, a student who had been brought recently was acting secluded. He would not talk to others and when anybody came from behind him, he would jump up startled almost in tears. I called him into my office one day, to see if he could open up. 

Zack 

From as long as I can remember I only had Mars, I have no memories of parents and according to Mars they had made a choice to abandon us. As I grew up, he would always take care of me but then one day a sudden change in him occurred, he would come home late in the night smelling awful, and then he became abusive. Whenever he came back smelly, he would hit me then apologize in the morning. I stopped going outside since I didn't want anybody to see me injured. It went on for a long time, I missed most of my meals since he was seldom there to prepare them. One day, he didn't show up and one of his friends came over, he said we could leave with him, I was worried what would happen if my brother found out, but I still went with that man. The following day he showed up at the house where we were, and he was with someone else. The moment I saw him fear gripped me tight, he soon left but a boy had been left behind. He asked me what Mars had done to me and I told them everything. He too soon left. I was left with the two men who had been taking care of me. 

In a week all my wounds were not that visible, and I was enrolled into a school within the city. I enjoyed being there, I had access to many books, but I was still not comfortable there yet. One day I got a summon from the head teacher.
