Messed up! The Great Beginning

Page 72

When CK and I returned to MF, she was ecstatic to see her sister. MF was almost crying and literally lifted her sister up into a tight hug, to which CK responded very calmly and hugged her back.

These two really are the opposite of each other.

Just as I was about to leave, MF stopped me.

"HEY! Where do you think you're going?" She angrily called out.

"I haven't even thanked you yet." She said.

She walked up to me and gave me a hug as well. It was strong yet gentle. She got startled for some reason and pulled back.

"Why does your arm feel so weird!?" She shouted.

"MF! Don't be rude!" CK said.

"Oh, it's fine. My right arm is fake, well replaced." I explained.

"Oh, shit. Gee, I'm sorry about that." MF said.

"Like I said, it's fine. That's also why my right eye looks different." I said.

"Hm, looks cool, though. Especially your scar. It looks badass!" She said.

We continued our chit-chat and had a great time getting to know each other. Unfortunately, it was starting to get late and I had to go home. CK packed me a piece of her town famous strawberry pie and MF said that she liked me so much that she'll smith the things for me for free.

"Seriously, it's on the house, kid." She said.

I thanked them like a hundred times and left to go home. I made it back to town and used the warp pad to get back to the castle. I arrived just in time for dinner. When I sat down at the table, my grandmother acted a little odd. Odder than usual.

"Where were you all day?" She asked me.

It almost felt like a threat.

"I was at my friends house." I answered while eating dinner with the golden silverware.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yes, why? Did I miss something important that I wasn't told about?" I answered, trying to hide the fact that I was annoyed.

"I remember you going to a blacksmith." She said confidently.

"...What?"

"Yes, don't you want to tell me what you were doing there?" She smiled at me mischievously.

A look of disgust and annoyance formed on my face.

"What if I don't?" I asked, dropping my silverware on the table.

"Who said you could talk to me that way?" Her eye twitched.

"I did. You say that I should tell you where I'm going even though I can never find you anywhere." I said.

"You dare to talk back to me like that young lady!" She spoke up as her smile faded.

"YOU SHALL TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE AND WHAT YOU WERE DOING THIS INSTANT!" She shouted furiously, slamming her hand on the table.

"I WENT THERE TO GET MYSELF A SWORD! I'M A SWORD FIGHTER AFTERALL!" I shouted back at her. She can't find out about my wand.

"DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU'RE STILL BELIEVING IN THAT BLODDY CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT YOU'RE MOTHER IS STILL ALIVE!" She screamed back.

"WELL, WHAT IF I DO, HUH!? WHAT IF I DO!?" I shouted, getting up from my seat.

She stared at me, absolutely furious.

"Get. out." She said in a strict tone.

"What?" I didn't understand what she meant.

"GO TO YOUR ROOM AND OUT OF MY SIGHT, NOW!" She screamed, pointing towards the hallway that connects the living room with the dining room.

And that's what I did. I ran to my room and locked myself in there. I felt like crying, but I didn't. Instead, I ate CK's piece of strawberry pie. I checked my phone that was vibrating like crazy. Jack said that his tree house was destroyed in our group chat. Everyone suspects that it was Reynold. But I don't know if he can chop down a whole tree. Jack said and even sent pictures that the whole tree was chopped down and on the ground. I guess we can't do anything about it now.

After some more debating, I decided to log off and go to bed. I unlocked my door and got ready for bed.

On the next day, I woke up to banging on my door. Then my door got kicked down and two armed men from what looked like the game SCP containment breach took me by both arms.

"HEY!!! WHAT THE F-!" I screamed while trying to free myself right before getting knocked out.
