The Awakening

Chapter 23

"That was very clever of you Levi, you're a smart one and very quick on your feet, but I assure you that I am going to get what I want so you did win this battle but I will win the war." Doctor Feresway said before he slid in the last of the needles into my body and slid on my mask.

He pressed a button on the new chamber I was placed in causing liquids to ride from the rise from the bottom on the chamber until it was filled up. They used a very strong injection to cause my magic to go into stasis but for some reason I was still awake and very aware of what was going on. I didn't fight him tough because I needed to get back into the Obalist, if just to shed some light on the real world to the others. He moved away from the chamber and went to the computer where I stayed for a few minutes typing in god knows what. When he was done a clock appeared on the wall where I had seen the scenario from in the Obalist play out.

"Now Levi, I'm explaining this to you for the sake of conversation. I am rebooting the Obalist which means the life you knew would be wiped from your memory and a new one would be conjured. This one I believe would get me much closer to my goal, the only factor that had to do major changes to thanks to you was removing Alaric. I hope you do have a fulfilling life Levi, I'm counting on you." He said right when the minute had passed on the clock and I felt an electric current go through me and I fell unconscious.

I opened my eyes to the morning sun shining straight into my eyes from the curtains that had been recently opened. I groaned knowing that yet again I would have to get up and go through another obnoxious day, with disgraceful people. I kicked my feet off the bed and stood up my toes curling I to the fuzzy mat that lay under my feet, I walked over to the bathroom and freshened up before getting changed and heading downstairs in hopes of going unnoticed by anyone.

As I walked down a few stairs I heard someone move behind me before that horrid voice came, "Levi, have you no manners. You poor parents must be looking down from their resting place embarrassed that you can't even tell your grandmother good morning before heading to school."

"Good morning Beulah." I said turning and giving her a stretched smile before running downstairs before she could open her poisonous lips again.

She had moved in a few months after my parents died saying that I needed an adult who would act as a parent figure in my life now. I didn't oppose because I couldn't care less about what was happening in my life anymore, my parents left me to figure out this life alone and so I would. I was very close to making it out of the front door when I felt someone tap my shoulder and I turned around ready to snap at Beulah. But I was met by an older and kinder face, it was not that Beulah wasn't old but rather she was rich enough to not look old.

"Good morning master Levi, I do hope you have a good day today," Mr. Clifford said stretching his hand out with my backpack in it. I thanked him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek since he was the only one I care to be kind to in this house but he spoke before I could escape, "Can I ask you a favor master Levi?" He asked.

I sighed and turned around giving him a smile and a nod of approval making him smile back and raise his finger up to let me know to wait. "Aaron hurry up, the master would show you the way!" He said loudly but with temperance so that he didn't upset Beulah.

Not a second later a young man came from around the corner wearing his uniform slack. His shirt wasn't fully buttoned and his tie hung low along with his pants. His broad shoulders and toned body was obvious to see and it went well with his blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes, he smiled cheekily as he approached. He tapped Mr. Clifford on the back and threw his bag over his shoulder before sauntering off out the door stopping to look back to ensure I was coming along. I quickly caught myself and took one step at a time until I was walking normally and overtook him so that I wouldn't be distracted.
