JACE, a voice whispered
He lazily opened his eyes as the rather chilly than calm breeze graced the surface of his face
He would have sworn he'd locked the windows before going to bed, but he got up anyways.
Observing the content of the room with the aid of the light which the moon let in through the curtains
"same freaky old place"
He adjusted himself making an attempt to get on his flip-flops.
He noticed a strange shade beside the curtains... He rubbed his eyes fast with the back of his hands nd looked again.
Now he was sure he'd seen something Odd
Is someone there? He managed to ask.
As if in response to his question, the doors of the windows shut,
Jace Froze.

"How you've grown"
a voice finally spoke
It wasn't the voice of a woman, and it didn't sound much like a mans' either, it was husky and had an edgy tune, yet it sounded very familiar.

"Jace Hawkins, or m I still allowed to call you FEATHERBALL" the voice continued as a figure began to approach from the opposite end of the bed.

"ReX??"

"Hello brother"

"ReX??" Jace asked again to be sure

What? Not happy to see me?

I, No.. You've..

I know, I left but now m back

"I was only 6 when you... "

"And I was 11"

"I could have died"

"But you didn't"

Why are u here anyway, Jace asked, looking ReX right in the eyes.

"Am here because I needed to see you, I wanted to apologize, I'm sorry"

Jace looked at ReX with Every doubt in his heart,
"And u didn't think I was dead"

ReX turned so he was sitting Face to face with Jace, he took Jace's hand in his

"Look, i know I wasn't the most responsible Big brother to u, I was only a kid and I was very desperate at that moment, i know I shouldn't have sold u to those men for any reason but we had nothing, some sacrifices needed to be made and that was the only thing I could think of then, I totally regretted it after, but it was too late, I've looked for u all these while, every single day of my life and now that I've found you, I promise am never letting u go, Am back to make up for my past mistakes"

Jace kept looking up at ReX with raised brows, all this years he'd hated his brother, he always thought he'd kill him on the very sight if he ever did see him again...
like come on, how could someone sell his own blood brother to Slave Masters even Luke wouldn't have...
An 11 year old, selling an innocent kid,
The nerve!!

How did u find me? Jace asked

"I don't know , like I said, Ive been looking for u all my life, I guess I just believed you where out there somewhere"

What if u thought wrong and I was dead??

ReX immediately held Jace's face, so their eyes were locked on each others'

"Then I would never forgive myself Jace", he replied. Never!

"Come with me, Let's become Blood brothers, then we'd never be separated, never again, not even death would be able to separate us"

Blood brothers?? Jace asked.

"Yes, Blood brothers"

"What's that about??"

"Come with me And I'll show u"

Jace!! Another Voice called, this time it was a woman, it sounded very faint, like it was from a distance

Did u hear that? Jace asked ReX, not very sure he just heard his name

"No, I didn't"

The once chilly breeze began to grow wild causing a disturbance amongst the curtains nd d contents of the room, the doors, and doors of the window kept shutting nd opening

What's happening, Jace asked, worry on his face

ReX stretched one of his hands towards Jace,
Come with Me, now...

What's Going on??

Jace!! The lady called again

Let's become blood brothers we'd never part again, Come with me, Take my hand

Jace!!! Breakfast!!!

***
Almost immediately his eyes flung open
There he was on his bed
"Same freaky old place" he muttered... Wait, was all that just...
Jace!! She called again and This time it was louder than ever..
Yes Mother!! he answered jumping on his flip flops

"Was that all a dream" he thought, as he hurried down the stairs.

"it felt so, Real🙄"

As I walked into the living room Father gave me a very warm smile
I smiled back
"Rough night I guess?? " he asked
"Nah, I slept good.."
I pecked mom on the cheeks
"Good Morning mum"
"Aren't u supposed to be set for school"
"Oh well, I guess I'd run late, ain't feeling very well after all"

Tessa was helping mother make breakfast,
Luke was sitted at the table all dressed for school
Stitch was just lazing around as usual.
Nothing beats home, Jace sighed as he grabbed a chair besides Luke
Soon they were all done with breakfast and off to school.

***

It was a rainy day, so We waited at a shade for the bus.
I swear I couldn't wait to gt home, i was extremely tired, for school today had been very hectic
Are you okay, luke asked

"Yea am fine just a bit stressed"

Luke smiled hitting me lightly on the shoulders
"We got the entire weekend to relax bro"

"Well, sure"

Luke smiled

Sup with the new kid?

Erwin?

Oh, dtz his name

Yea, he's a cool one bro

He seems Clingy, sure u ok with that??

well, not exactly...

I thought so.

As The bus arrived, the boys took a seat behind...
Yo Jace, can I borrow your headphones? Luke asked soon they had seated

"Oh shii!! I must have left them"

Left them?

Yea my headphones, left them back at school, guess I'd be catching the next bus.

Oh, alright catch u later then...
