REMEMBRANCE 3: THE LAST.

"Damn it." I shouted as I got pushed by something. I landed on the floor and lay there, not thinking about moving.

"Father?" Leonardo said in confusion.

"We already know it's your dad, no need to announce it twice." I said in irritation. I sat up and looked at their direction, only to see Leonardo's father behind the man. He walked forward and stood at the side of the man.

"So you aren't truly dead." The man's voice boomed in anger.

I felt pissed off. I mean, why are their voice so deep.

"Sir, I am innocent, I didn't do anything." I said in defense.

"Liar. You're a damn liar." He shouted as tears began streaming down his face. "What did we ever do to you, to deserve such." He added and bent his head.

Well if I am not wrong, this is the part in anime, where the victims closes their eyes and expect to be done for in a jiffy. Exactly what I did. But my eyes were still open a little. Classic huh?

He looked up suddenly, sending fear through my body. "And now, you shall pay." He added and clicked his finger. Four wolions appeared. The one that have been standing behind me walked to the man, almost giving me a heart attack the moment it passed me.

"Damn lap dog. I am sure it was you that pushed me." I shouted in a faked deep voice, trying my best to sound tough. But the tough guy only looked at me and growled. I instantly retreated back into my shell, not wanting to end up a dog snack. And besides the dog was looking at me the same way I would have looked at a delicious mouth-watering meal that is misbehaving. I am so sure it is thinking of hundreds of way to enjoy me as a delicacy in a proper etiquette manner.

"I don't want to kill you. I only want to feed you to my dogs." He said and laughed.

I guess the man still have his humors. But now they're damned and dark. Was he trying to be funny. Cos if he were, then that's not funny.

"Now which of you boys want to have a treat?" He asked his pets and surprisingly they all raised their paws, beaming with joy.

'What in the world. This creatures are in for business.' I thought in disgust.

"Leonardo, do something." I shouted like a helpless child and cringed.

"Yeah. Do something son. Go against your father for a random guy." He said and laughed. "And besides you are now in Lord level. You might stand a chance against me with your unique ability. Maybe, just maybe. You might upgrade to God level after this fight. And who knows, you might be able to beat your old man." He said with a wide innocent looking but dangerous-aura smile.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. Since when did my little friend become a tough guy. Someone who couldn't even pin a baby goat to the ground. Is now a Lord and a soon-to-be God level magic.

"Don't worry tough guy. I know you can do this. I mean, you can do this right?" I said, trying to assure myself that bro would win. I wasn't sure if that's how to encourage someone, but I had to be sure.

"Thanks buddy. I'll try my best." He said, looking at his dad and the hooded person. Then he turned and looked at me. "But... " He paused.

"Ehhhhhh?" I said as I felt my heart stop for a millisecond. "But?....." I asked, spinning my head like a tornado. "We're doomed right?" I asked, hoping he would say no, challenge his father and win easily. But all I got was a weak nod in agreement. I smiled and tapped beside me. "Alright then. Come and lie down beside me." I said in sarcasm and smiled a all-hope-is-gone kind of smile.

"Sure." The child said and joined me. I could have sworn that if I was with a cake, I would have slammed it so hard on his face that he would be traumatized by the experience.

His dad and the hooded figure were surprised. Although I'm not sure about the hooded figure. But who wouldn't be.

"Go boys." His father commanded and you should have seen the looks on the wolions faces. They looked like happy puppies that are rushing to gobble down a whole fried chicken. But surprisingly they all stopped and started walking slowly as if they're saying "let's not run cos lunch can't escape us and besides let's give our meals sometime to cook under the sun properly." It was like they were all smiling wide, or were they showcasing their teeth. I don't know.

"Leonardo. I know I look delicious as heck. Duh. But this isn't the way I'm meant to die." I said in tears.

He only laughed and looked at me. "Stop being a cry baby. You lobby lobster." He said and laughed, pissing me off.

I felt a strong urge to slap some sense into him. Yeah, a very strong urge, but I held myself. Although I was happy to see this side of him. The side that makes fun of me and calls me nicknames, but I don't want to end up a dog snack.

He held my hand and smiled. "Are you ready to escape in a wild and fun manner?" He asked.

I looked at Mr Mike and the hooded person. And I must hand it to them, that they are extremely patient. But I wasn't sure if their patience was normal. Maybe it is like my patience with ants. Whereby I let them run around and give them a sense of hope to escape only to crush them when they are about to. I couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Typical and classic me.

I looked back at Leonardo. "Yeah. Anything." I said weakly.

"Good. But it might be painful though." He said and laughed out loud.

"Aren't you guys done with the drama. What happens to the action." Leonardo's father shouted in irritation. And I don't blame him. I mean, why should I? If I was him, I would have walked forward and slapped some sense into I and Leonardo or would have just gone home. The wolions began running again, reminding me of their graceful presence.

"Hurry. Hurry. Hurry." I shouted as fear enveloped me. My mind moved back to Leonardo's speech. "Wait, what do you mean by " it might be painful?" I asked, making the important words louder than the rest. I opened my mouth to speak again, but only felt like a bug that was being squashed by an elephant. Before I knew what was happening, I saw myself high up in the skies, levitating. I became breathless and so scared to talk. I felt a puke trying to escape, but didn't give it a chance. But I must say I am pretty impressed by such a strange but genius idea.

"Now what?" I asked not wanting to look down.

"This is." He said and increased the gravity around us, making it strong. It was so strong that, we were instantly on top a tree. He increased it again, making me feel like a bug being squashed. I instantly felt light and was on air again. He increased it again and we were instantly on another tree.

Now I get it. He increases the gravity around us alone and then releases it, but also increasing anti-gravity around us in the process, gathering the force from both and shooting us in air. It's like, hitting a ball to the ground and somehow increasing it's rising force with the force it used to land and the force it's using to rise. 'Phew. With that explained, I feel like a professional genius. Which unfortunately, I'm not.' I thought to myself and sniffed, feeling insulted.

"Guess you don't understand how I am doing this." He said, smiling wide and feeling very 'genius.'

I laughed. "Yeah, Mr smarty pants. I am just that dumb." I said in sarcasm and he understood, cos his face changed from a Mr sunshine-smile face to Mr stepped-on-poop face. I laughed, enjoying the moment.

I stopped and looked down. He was still holding my hands, leaping from tree to tree like a monkey and pulling poor me along. I'm sure the monkeys were really oppressed by such level of acrobatics.

"Why did you save me?" I asked in confusion.

There was a long silence. Then he sighed. "Because.... Because..... " He paused and sighed again. "You know what, forget it." He added and silence took over again. I could feel anger rising in him and decided to keep shut.

"Ok. Thanks." I said with a smile.

"Sure. You're welcome. Mum would have wanted the same thing." He replied and Mr silence ran to the scene, taking over.

He finally dropped me at a spot very far away from where his dad and the hooded figure was.

"You know dad left us alone right? He would have easily captured us if he wanted to." He said and I nodded in agreement.

I felt a sudden extreme pain on my hand. I turned and looked at my hand only to see a wolion, happily relishing my tasty blood. I looked at it in horror and was too scared to shout. "H... oooo... wwww? H... ooo.... wwww?" I asked, feeling severe pain.

Leonardo quickly rushed forward and began petting the monster, making it to growl playfully and happily. It freed my hand and I stared at my holed hand in horror.

"Good. I must say your little trick is nice." A voice said, followed by the clapping of hands.

I looked up only to see Leonardo's father smiling widely. At his side, the hooded figure stood in silence. The monster walked back to Leonardo's father and vanished.

'How did they reach here so fast?'I thought to myself, feeling my anger rising, but fear suppressing it. Tears began running down my face. "Sir. I swear, I aren't the one who killed her. It was a doppelganger." I said as I fell, landing on my knees.

"How do we know if you're not just another doppelganger sent to kill us?" He asked, leaving me dumbfounded.

'Damn. He is good. How, why and where did he bring such a question from?' I thought to myself and looked at Leonardo. His face had a mixture of worry and doubt, but they instantly changed into a I-trust-you face.

"Dad. He is innocent. I can just feel it." He said in my defense.

"Shut up. You damned soul." His father shouted in irritation.

"Ok dad. I challenge you to a fight. If I win, you forget about him. But if you win, you can have your way with both of us." He said and I felt our death was near.

"Ok.. Fine. But train extremely well. I would love a defeat." His father said and turned around. The hooded person turned too and they both walked off, disappearing behind the bush.

After all this drama. Leonardo took me to a non-magic hospital. I got treated and was bandaged. He walked me home and then left. So much for hiding my house location. I continued school the next day, being the school addict I am.

..... END OF FLASHBACK.

And now, this? I am in so much pain to even move. I manage to stand up. 'Shit no kidding. Those wolions have something in their saliva that makes healing of wounds take time and extremely painful.'

"Oh is that so. So you were attacked by a wolion and you managed to survive. I am impressed." Sai says in surprise, causing others to be surprised too.

"So you can read minds. That's such a good magic." I say, trying to sound nice. Which I am.

"You aren't serious." Mike says and began laughing.

"Yeah. Definitely not serious. He is messing with your mind." Nick says and joins Mike in laughing.

I didn't know when I began to laugh. "Ha. Nice one." I say, still laughing. I wipe a tear from my eye and stopped. Knowing my boundaries.

"I think we should go." Nick; their leader says.

"Yeah. Sure. That's a great idea." Mike and Sai say together and they all left. Nick leading the way.

'Something isn't right here. They wouldn't just leave. I know them too well. Maybe something is wrong. I need to run.' I began walking away fast.

"Hey. What isn't right? " A voice asks behind me, almost scaring me to death.

'Oh. No wonder they left.' I smile. "Leonardo?" I say and turn around. I was happy to see him again. Maybe it's because he is the only close person I have. "Hey how did you hear my thoughts?" I ask in a faked scared manner.

"Just a simple guess, I guess?" He says and laughs awkwardly. "How are you doing?" He asks with a smile. "And your hand?" He asks and looks at it. His smile disappearing the moment he sees it. "I am sorry for all this drama. I promise to defeat my dad." He says in assurance.

I smile. "It's okay. It isn't your fault." I say, trying to assure him. "How is your training going?" I ask in high hopes.

"Great. Very great." He replies and damn did it sound like a symphony to my ear drums.

I open my mouth to speak but find myself in the air.

"Come and watch me show you something cool." He says and pulls me along with such powerful force and speed that I felt like I will melt in the air. We instantly appear in a non-magics hospital.

'Wow, he is fast.'

I got treated and my bandage, changed. He then pulled me out of the hospital and the next thing I knew, we are zooming through air again.

'Oh, God. I am feeling sick.'

We are still zooming through the air in a thick forest, when I sight a young teen boy that is standing on the ground with his head bent. He looks up instantly and grin a wide grin. The aura from this boy was intense.

"Who is..... " Leonardo didn't complete his statement as we are instantly smashed to the ground by a strong force. No, a strong being.

'Could it be the kid?' I groan in pain and could also hear Leonardo groaning in pain too. I knew he saved our life, cos we would have been jelly-from-above for the creatures in this forest. If he had not lighten the gravity around us.

"Hello weaklings." The boy says and began laughing. He began approaching us, his footsteps louder by each second. I and Leonardo lay on the ground, too weak to move. "I am Daniel." He says and came to a stop. "And I am a God blessed." He added in a boastful manner and began to laugh again, pissing me off to the max.

The word God blessed sends shivers through my body and I became scared. I am sure Leonardo heard it too and was also shivering. Cos damn his aura is suppressing.

'A God blessed? It can't be. That's just a rumor. Such beings can't be real.' I have heard of them from magicastory. Powerful beings, said to have been created by god of magic from Omni God's energy.

"And I am here for you two." He says and smile a wide innocent smile that is obviously fake.

Now I wish I was still in the good side of Mr Mike. He is strong enough to match a God blessed. If there is one.

The boy raises his left leg and drops it, shattering the ground n

below him and appearing in front of us instantly. I am not surprised. God blesseds are capable of such powers and abilities, according to magicastory. He raises his left foot again, thinking of how to turn our heads into squashed melons. I close my eyes, preparing for the worse.
