Chronicle 15:preparing the next level

I woke up late and my baby sister was still fast asleep, clearly thinking that I was the pillow godsend. She is such a godsend, who was I to put her through so much pain? I get up move her scarlet hair off her eye and kiss her cheek before stepping into the kitchen sarah  and Judas are cooking breakfast, or trying to. All I smell is burnt and I just shake my head

"buon dio Vulcano sopra!!" which meant "good god of fire vulcan above!!" which was me bewildered by the disaster of the kitchen and cursing the god of fire. "Blood is blood like brother like a sister can either of you cook?" I yawn and walk into the kitchen and I sound sharper than I realized, and Sarah looked down and swallowed. "Well I'm sorry your genes are better to cook next time I won't try your guest so go to fuckin Mcdonald's if you have a problem" She threw down the spatula and stormed out of the room. I sigh in annoyance at myself for neglecting my tone and my thoughts. I look at Judas and he's silent. I clearly did him a disservice by insulting his sister so I stepped up and started trying to redo breakfast that they tried to do. after maybe 15 minutes I speak "I forgot how slightly sensitive she can be.." "And how bullheaded you can be about your tone, you forget this is a girl that hasn't seen us in how many years, and the second day you bite her...but enough of that, we need to talk I'll handle it, NO I'LL handle my sister you just get back in the thought process of return trip" 

I look at him and start forgetting by washing silverware. I'm nervous, of course I'm nervous, it was only a day ago that Gabriel made me pretty much brutally destroy three guys for tarnishing the Regio crime family's princess reputation, and before that, I was a mangled mess in the coliseum, and even before that I nearly bring down the Sistine chapel and I can't even tell Judas. I get a flashback to the posh terrace: Boscolo exedra Roma where I Systematically destroyed three guys for disrespecting the Regio. I punched the guy with glasses in the face shattering his glasses and breaking his nose, I muay Thai knee struck his friend possibly breaking his rib and jujutsu threw him into a cart of food, silverware, and plates. I can't even fathom how unnatural that felt. I didn't get into the church to learn to fight or to destroy people with what I know. I still think about what Gabriel said

"Some deadbeats have insulted Alexis's reputation I want you to go in there and give them "a stern talking to and bring me what money they have" "Because if you want Order you need to show a slight amount of force I bet you that guy you punched in the face is gonna need to go hospital get his nose fixed and pay a decent number for his glasses and he's walking about like the world didn't even stop spinning, the guy you threw into the cart feels embarrassed, slightly bruised his ego and his ribs, and the third got sopping wet and likely will need to throw his clothes in a dryer and be in the for the day and night. no harm and you got some money for it, so be happy you not even getting in trouble for it...keep your mouth shut and everything will get handled now if you don't hurry up we're gonna get the teacher suspicious then we will have a hole in our story timing is everything" "what are you saying?"

"pretty basic if your paying attention Caleb" Judas continues speaking, " you and I will stay here for maybe the afternoon, I'll have you talk to Kali about some of the things that have been going on be sure to give them a phone number let me remind you we're not supposed to be here then on our way back, we'll stop and get you some better clothes than the punk clothes you got now, I think, now that you see where you're going, fair and just, your preparing for the next level of your training." I blink thinking I missed something. "Next level of my training? I thought my level was made by experience? and studying cos'altro stai nascondendo?" that was Italian for "what else are you hiding?" I finished the last dish and wiped my hands and my emerald eyes looked at him, curious. "What part of my training is next?" I ask and he smiles as he in turn once again has proven he knows more than he's letting on. "You are a warlock, a sorcerer remember? don't you want your powers to grow to protect your family like I mentioned before? you've seen the danger that they are suffering without you the only things that can grow your strength is 1) your history that you learning each day with your teacher Mr. Mathias, 2)your experience in the church, and what is coming next...your experience is growing...soon your gonna be under my wing" I'm taken back and I look at him and see him as the advanced he showed to be so small before, when did he become my elder? "and what is it that you have planned for me?"
