Arch-Sabre: The Inheritor of The Blade

Chapter 2: Draw The Blade

"EVIE! Why are you being so reckless?! What if you cannot walk again after this!!"

Eva is an awful worrywart and hopelessly exaggerating over everything when with me at home. When I was little, I loved her when she is being so protective and spoiled me all the time but when I get older, somehow it become a nuisance and I get annoyed a little.

Another reason that my sister is so fixated with me is because when I was 13, I lived with my grandparents for five years. So, when I return to live with my family, she was so shocked by how much I changed and even cried during our first met. It was awkward at first, but she started calling me Evie to be casual and even now, the nickname is attached to me. It does sound indulging and childish a little bit to me but honestly, I don't mind it too much.

People said that I'm too attached to my sister but it actually the reverse. Perhaps this relationship of me and my sister which every girl in my class already know is the main cause of why I am not being in any sweet lovey-dovey love story right now. If Quinn knows about this, I hundred percent sure he will do his annoying sulking behaviour like before.

It was when second week of my first year and he already be in my circle, he keeps babbling about that one senior girl he had this crush and all and ultimately, that girl was my sister. He was so shocked and cried so loudly in the class after I tell him that. Every girl was looking at me as if I am the one who make him cried, and they tried to persuade him while blaming me for making him cried, tell me that I am a bully and all.

Then my sister suddenly came to the class and make things worse by saying "oh my little cute brother! What have you done to him? Even though you love me you should not bully your friends..." and go to persuade Quinn. Quinn was so happy and able to smile and laugh like he was the cheeriest guy on planet.

Well, at least he does not act up like that after that day until now, that is one thing I am grateful about.

"Sis, stop that! You are hurting me! If my ankle swollen, it will be your fault!"

"What? I am so worried, and you said I am hurting you? By the way, it's already swollen Evie!"

Currently, I am lying down on the couch at my house in front of the television while my sister is touching my bandaged ankles and a little rough at that.

Does she even know how to treat a wounded people like me?

"Mom!! Look at Eve! She is messing with my foot!!"

My mom is washing the dishes at the kitchen while humming, I guess I need her help to get my sister get off from me.

"Eve... Evie is injured, treat him softly, will you?"

Mom, dad, and I frequently call Eva by Eve since our name is almost identical.

"Okay sure mom!"

Mom, that is not helping me a little bit. It is already 8.30 pm and my father should have been at home by now.

"Mom, where is dad? It's already late."

"Hm... I also wondering why, usually he will call me or tell me if he has something about his work."

My sister stop playing with my feet and went to help mother to wash the dishes.

Thank God! Finally, I can lie down peacefully.

"Maybe something has happened?" I suggested.

Frankly. I don't like a question like that to be asked since this evening occurrence still caught me in anxiety, and my mind began to believe what was said by the mysterious man. My curiosity is killing me, so I ask my mom to call his office where he works. Father works as a spell developer at a Spell Programming Company in the Central City. The company is quite famous among several other companies in the same field throughout Azaria. Sometimes he taught me how to do a simple spell, but I guess it is too challenging for me.
