Angel Knight (On Hold)

Chapter 13

            Ahh.... I'm so so so happy to come back to school and so lucky that I have free lectures. That's right lectures, not just one lecture but three. You must be wondering why is the school being so kind to us... that is because Christmas holidays are coming. By that I mean they are just a day away. I probably shouldn't have come to school today, my friends have taken a trip together for this Christmas. They are going to London. You see, their parents are too busy to make time for them. This is a major reason why I don't like this town, no one celebrates festivals together. Not even as a family.

Rich people I tell you.

But this time Christmas is going to be very special for me. My brother, Peter you remember him right? I am going to make this the best Christmas for him. Felicity agreed to help me, she was so excited when I told her that I wanted to bring my brother to her place and celebrate Christmas together. Yeah, she started crying. It's going to be so much fun. My step-dad hasn't come back from Russia yet so it should be fine.

I am so excited!

I feel a lot better now, it's been two weeks since I was kidnapped and no one showed up yet. Looks like they have given up, but I still need to be careful. Mr. Storm has called me to his office so I am on my way now.

You do remember who he is right? My English teacher the handsome one. Yup he's called me, you know that reminds me when he came on the first day he had that silent stare off with Jack. The first time when he saw Jack he reacted as if he knew him. I wonder what that was about? I guess all the secrets are going to come out in December. That's winter for you, alright.

Look I'm here. I knock on the cabin door, "Come in" he says.

"You wanted to see me?"

"Yes please take a seat." He gestures towards the chairs kept in front of his desk. I do as am told. What could he possibly need me for? I mean I've submitted all the assignments, homework and given all the delayed tests. All the trouble I went through just to enjoy my holidays. He looks me in the eye, not giving away any emotion.

"Why didn't you come to school for so many days?" He gets straight to the point, so our teacher is a straight forward kind-of-guy. Well I've been learning how to lie, so you know I can try to do my best this time.

"I was sick." Too obvious I know, but hey I've done all the research needed and this time I won't stammer.

"With what exactly?" So he is persistent, but I know what to say.

"I was suffering from cold and cough," I said proudly.

"Seems like you've practised this answer many times." He's trying to get the truth out of me. His tone tells me he knows something, that he wants to hear from me. So what do I do now. I can't tell him that a bunch of crazy angels kidnapped me.... or wait I could tell him some bad people kidnapped me. So I wouldn't be lying in general I'll just be telling half-truth. Yeah that sounds good.

"Actually I... I was kidnapped, but you can't tell anyone." I sigh loudly, making it sound believable. It almost sounds like sharing a secret with your best friend. If he doesn't believe that then I don't know what lies to feed him.

"I knew it!" He shouted taking me by surprise. He knew it? He knew what? What is with me being surrounded by crazy people. Why God why?

"Care.. to explain sir." I said uncertainly. He sure was excited about hearing this. He cleared his throat and said, "I am really sorry. I might have caught you off guard, I shouldn't have reacted this way." He smiled genuinely.

Sure, he shouldn't have reacted that way.

"My name is Oswald Storm and I am from Ten Kross."

Okay now I am completely lost. "Ten Kross?" I raised an eyebrow.
