Magic boy (discontinued)

Chapter 11

I look at peter then walk into the living room to see a well-dressed man with graying hair and a tired yet happy expression when he sees peter. I watch as his expression turns to curious and little startled when he looks at me.

"peter is this the friend that you told me about?"

"yes uncle Ford this is Vladimir hayashi."

"hayashi? Isn't that Japanese? Sounds familiar..."

"I made you your coffee so you didn't have to worry about it."

"thank you my dear nephew"

I watch as his uncle takes the coffee and drinks it sip by sip. As he drinks I notice his eye turn slightly red which is noticeable from how light his green eyes are. I get the paper out and peter still sees it as blank yet his uncle can now read it. I look at him.

"I hope this isn't too much to ask. I can always come back."

"nonsense you need help with your paper. I'm happy that someone so young is interested in the history and language of Latin. Peter talks about you a lot. It's nice to finally meet you"

"it's nice to meet you as well Mr. Quentin."

"please call me Ford. Calling me Mr. Quentin makes me feel old"

I smile and I nod. Once he sits down I hand him the paper and I sit with him at the table. Peter to my left and his uncle to my right. I look at him watching him read it over.

"where did you find this?"

I look at ford when he asks and I think quickly.

"my mother's old books. She had a history book about the language and it fell out."

Peter looks at me.

"why didn't you ask her? You have her number don't you?"

"I have my adoptive mothers number....my real mother died when I was 3"

The room goes silent again and I look at Ford.

"why? Is there something wrong?"

"it's a letter to you. From Rosemary Hayashi."

"that's my mother! What does it say?"

"well...it says my dearest son; I know you'll receive this when imp long gone. By now you're probably confused and scared. I'm writing to explain everything to you. You have a long and difficult path to follow because of me unfortunately. I have more letters spared through my books. Find them and you'll know everything..."

I sit there staring at the paper. I look at Ford.

"your mother must of not wanted anyone else to read this but you."

"I can't read Latin. I mean when its spoken I can understand it but reading it is different..."

"there's more young Vladimir. Shall I continue?"

I nod and have him read the rest.

"I have little time so this is my last letter. The first one you'll find. Your special my son. A one of a kind. I know you might be having someone read this for you since your adoptive parents probably didn't bother with the lesions I had planned for you. I know you have already met you friends that you will go with on this path. I love you my son. scire licet mentem ac praemium fore."

I look at him and I look at the paper. I rub my necklace say that he said again and to them I passed out. To me I'm face to face with my mother. I look at her.

"m-mom?"

"yes my son it is me. I'm here to tell you what you need to know."

Peter is running around trying to calm his uncle and put me on the couch. He looks at his uncle.

"he probably just fainted from shock or the fact he doesn't eat."

"I can understand that but he spoke perfect Latin without any lesions! Peter and your friend are in something deep aren't you?"

Peter looks at him.

"I'm not sure uncle....im going to go make food. He needs to eat more."

Peter walks off to cook as his uncle looks over the letter over and over. I wake smelling food and I sit up. I jump hearing peter talk.

"are you okay? You passed out on us."

I nod and I look at the plate of food his holding. Looks like a burger and fries. I take it when he hands it to me knowing he won't take no for an answer so I eat. I finish the rest of my food in a few minutes. I look up when I hear his uncle walk in and hand me my paper back.

"I hope what you got into doesn't do any harm"

"don't worry Ford well be okay."

He nods and goes to his study to grade papers. I look at peter.

"you got a room or something we can go to?"

"ya follow me"

I follow him into his room. Its messy yet clean. I only ever use the bed in my room or read books but his floor is clear and carpet. His desks and shelves are cluttered. I sit on his bed as he sits in a rolly chair. He probably just rolls around instead of walking from desk to desk.

"so...what happened Vlad?"

"I saw and talked to my mother. For the first time..."

"what did she say?"

"she said that each other us is special and that we only just meet because fate wanted us to..."

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"I don't know probably bullshit. She said we need to find these five stones. I already have on. She said that the others will know which is theirs. She said she thought Tsuki would be the one but since I'm here she was surprised..."

"but her letter said son.... does that mean?"

I nod and I stand up walking to my bag I brought with, I get my book out and I look at it.

"she said there's a spell that can help us find them."

"I'll tell the others so they now what's going on. Tomorrow is Friday so we can meet up and talk about it."

"well need a place to go after school other than the club room.... ill message everyone where to go once I figure out where we should meet."

"sounds good Vlad."

"I'll head home and prepare the spell. I might steal a flower or two from you."

"just don't pick the daisies"

I nod and I gather my things. I say my goodbyes to Ford and peter then I head home with the things that I need. I get everything ready for tomorrow then I head off to sleep. Tomorrow will be a crazy day.
