Chapter 56: Loved Ones (2)

The day after we arrived at the Holiday villa, they day I sparred with both Aurora and her father, Mr Singford simply could not contain his excitement about my abilities.

"Truly dear boy! You are marvellous! I have never seen this luminescent beam before! You might have made a new spell for all I know!" We were walking up the stair back to the main living room. The stairway was tight, and I could hear his every word echoing off the walls.

He hasn't stopped ogling over my powers for the past 5 minutes. It really was an honour, but it was starting to get annoying. I also realised that he is the only other person other than Aurora to know about my overwhelming strength.

"Dad!" Aurora abruptly yelled out. She was obviously more irritated then I am.

Mr Singford was shocked for a few seconds, like a deer caught in headlights. He proceeded to laugh nervously and try to justify himself. "Heheh... Well. You know. It's not everyday that someone so unfathomably powerful is right in front of you."

Aurora still stared dangerously at her father, trying to silence him. Seeing this, he did indeed stop talking about it, for a few minutes. Suddenly, his face brightened like he just had a brilliant idea, "I need to find out more about you! Tonight at dinner I am going to ask your parents! In fact, I think I'll go ask them right now!"

With a sudden burst of energy, the last thing I knew, Mr Singford was bolting up the stair case and back to the living room. Only upon seeing his excitement, did I fully process what he just said. My face went pale as my whole body froze. Meanwhile, Aurora stood rooted, her face buried in her hands. "Damn this old man." I heard her mutter under her breath.

Before I could run after him, it was already too late. "Hey Jack! How dare you hide your son's talent from me?! I thought we were friends man!" I heard Mr Singford's voice echo through the hall. I sipped some air and raced up the stairs, Aurora following behind me quickly.

This is bad. Very bad. This is gonna become really messy really quick. I reached the living room just in time to see my dad staring at Mr Singford blankly, his mouth slightly agape and his eyebrow raised. 'Oh shit.' Was the only thing I can think of now.

I looked at Aurora, but even she knew there was nothing we could do. She was just gonna watch the scene unfold before her, and to be honest, I wanted to see it too. "What in god's name are you on about dude? My son is amazing, but I don't know what hidden talent you are on about…" He was just sitting on the couch with his arms crossed.

Not long, I heard another set of footsteps coming down. I felt myself shiver when I saw who it was. Our moms. "What's going on?" My mom asked.

"Crap. Now we are in trouble." I whispered to Aurora.

"I believe you mean you." She said calmly. That's true. All she's doing is watching a family drama. This was just entertainment for her.

Mr Singford turned around to see our mothers and opened his mouth to explain. However, he ceased immediately after seeing me, his face lighting up like the stars. A sudden chill ran through my body.

I was thinking overtime of a way to get me out of this precarious situation, but seeing this man look at me, I felt like I was turned to stone. His facial expression was absolutely maniacal, worthy of being tossed in an asylum.

His smile was touching both ears. If you wanted a reference, picture The Joker. He looked scary in the comics, but seeing it in real life instilled a new kind of fear. To think he was a calm and friendly business man just 30 minutes ago.

He made long steps and reached the knife block, drawing one out in a swift motion. My face darkened and turned serious. What is this mad man thinking?!

I looked at Aurora, hoping she could give me answers or a way out, only to see her at the other end of the room, her hands raised like in the surrendering motion.

'What the hell woman?!' was all I could think of right now. But when I thought about it, she is exactly like her father, a person with multiple faces.

I looked back at her father to see him approaching fast, his maniacal smile grew even wider as he did, which I did not think was possible.

"Tom! What the hell are you doing?!" that was my dad's voice.

I looked at the stairs to see my mother looking liek she was about to break down, and Aurora's mother holding onto her firmly, but even she was uneasy.

Like a real psychopath, Mr Singford threw the knife at high speeds towards me, cutting the air as it travelled.

"KALER!" my mom shouted.

"You bastard!" my dad followed after, both of them leaping in my direction, however they would never make it in time.

Seeing a lethal object flying at my face like missile, I, naturally, and instinctively activated my speed. My eyes flashed golden for a second as the world around me came to a screeching halt.

Activating this burst in speed projected lightning bolts from my body which struck out in all directions. However, with my speed, everyone was basically a mannequin.

My dad was beyond pissed, my mom was weeping as she ran to me, and Mr Singford was jsut as crazy as before. Somehow it became even more unsettling.

The knife was basically stationary. Bolts of lightning were slowly crawling towards it. Speak of these bolts, I was fast enough to see them traveling.

If wanted to hide my powers now, it might be near impossible, this kind of energy would make me pass out almost immediately before. I had much more time to think. But I had no answers, either way, my parents would have found out sooner or later, so...

I waited for the blade to fly near me. In the span of a thought, I snatched the blade out of thing air by the handle. Time went back to normal as lightning flew in all directions, hitting plates, cutlery, the knife and some lights.

"bzzt bzzt" the bolts leaving residual energy, causing a buzzing sound. I looked slowly at our parents who were all standing there, shell-shocked.

Any trace of anger ony my parents faces was wiped clean immediately. Now they just stared at me, speechless, mouths wide open.

"Heheh... Yeah... There something I need to tell you..." I said, laughing nervously. As a further demonstration, now that the cats out of the bag, I raised the knife above my head.

With immense speed, I brought it down onto my other wrist. As I did, I could my mother's face morph with horror.

" Clink! " the blade made contact, however, shortly following that , the sound a metallic object hitting the wooden floor was heard.

I lifted the knife in my hand, or what's left of it. The blade snapped. I then showed my wrist, which had no injury, not even a scratch or graze. My mother was covering her mouth in astonishment, as was Aurora's mother. Meanwhile, her father looked at my father with the "See?" Kind of look in his eyes, as if he was trying to prove a point.

My father was the first one to snap back to his senses. He slowly approached me with a solemn look. At this point, I feared the worst. I was probably gonna be grounded for a whole month or something. He approaches, me then places his hand on my shoulder. I was rather confused, this gesture was meant to be fatherly and friendly, but I felt everything except that.

"What happened?" He asked extremely seriously. I sipped the air again, as if I was feeling the pain of being stung.

"I'll tell you. Just calm down, and don't be mad." I said shyly. Aurora patted me on the back as a show of support, giving me the courage to continue.

I explained to our parents, everything that has happened, how I acquired my powers, the extent of powers, and also the avatars. Everyone was over the moon. My mother was practically tearing from this discovery, and Mr Singford's eyes were burning with questions, which were only halted by his wife.

However, I did notice my father was rather silent. He smiled occasionally, but only when he noticed I was looking.. He knows something.
