Thomas POV

'........'

'I can hear something.....'

'A beeping noise....'

'Where is it coming from....?'

I open my eyes to see a bright light. It was the lamp above me. I look around to see a white room, with mom sitting while reading a book in the corner.

Wait.

"Mom?" I tried to sit up but my body hurts like hell. Oh God.

Mom noticed my voice and rushed over me,

"Hey sweetie...., how are you feeling?"

"M-Mom...., what ha-happened?"

Mom looked at me, seemingly concerned. She pauses for a moment and I can see tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Y-You were attacked..."

"A few men followed you home and you tried to shake them off by using a longer rout home b-but you turned up to a dead end a-and y-you-"

Mom was practically crying. I slowly move my right hand towards her face, wiping down her tears.

"Mom, hey. I'm fine now see....., don't cry"

My mom smiled at me and nodded.

"How'd I get here though?"

My mom sat beside my bed and offered me a glass of water, she then smiled and took a deep breath.

"The doctor said a young man around your age carried you to the hospital.... The nurses tried to ask him his name but he kept his identity anonymous, the nurse didn't push him any further, but he gave the nurse something. He gave the nurse a small box and inside it a camera tape, some photos, and a note about your attackers. The young man just smiled at the nurse before exiting the building"

I glanced at my mom seemingly sad and grateful at the same time.

"What's wrong mom?"

I ask her as her eyes widened.

"Huh?"

"Your face...., you're sad but grateful in the same time"

I glanced at her. My mom looked at the expression on my face and giggles before sighing and looking down.

"Well dear, I was at my shift that day. The hospital called me just when I finished the shift, it was an hour after you got treatment because they've just found your identity card inside your wallet."

My mom then looked at me with a sour look.

"And I couldn't even say thank you to the young man that brought you here....."

Ah, so it's guilt she's getting. I see now.

"I'm sure he already knows how thankful you are"

I gave my mom a bright smile just before a realization struck me.

"Hey mom...., I remember something from that day...."

My mom starts to look at me with a serious look.

"I remember the guy that carried me, but I couldn't remember what his face looks like....., we actually met at the school's science fair."

My mom raised an eyebrow at me, seemingly confused.

"Eh? What do you mean?"

I looked up.

"White hood with black accent and purple stripes. Pale, cold skin....."

I try to remember what he looks like, but the only thing crossed my mind was that he smiled at me.

My mom looks dumbfounded for a moment. She didn't know what to say.

"How did you two met in the first place?"

"I tripped down the stairs"

"YOU WHAT?!"

"I tripped and he catched me before I could take impact"

My mom eyes just widened. She sat Silent there just looking at me and sighed. I feel tired though, I could feel my self yawning, my mom then breaks the silence between us.

"Oh my, I think you should rest for now dear"

My mom rubs my hair and gave me a kiss on the forehead,

"I'll check on you in a while my little warlock"

"Love you mom"

"Love you too sweetie"

Thomas POV

*Mumble*

'Huh?'

'Who's there?'

'I can hear something.....'

'No....'

'.....Someone'

I open my tired eyes and greeted by a young man. He looks like he's not too far older then me, maybe 2 or 3 years older.

"GAAAAAAH!"

I screamed surprise. Who the hell is he???

"How did you get here?!"

I stared at the stranger that is in front of me, he doesn't seem to care.

"Hmmmm...., your mother didn't exactly close the door...."

He glanced over the door just before turning back my gaze to me.

He seems to be...., studying me? Eh?

"Oh my God I can't believe Michael assigned me to assist this idiot"

He was mumbling. But he knew I heard him.

"Hey! What do you mean?!"

I looked angrily to the guy in front of me.

"Oh please, a proper warlock should've easily fight back without having to take out a spell book"

The stranger put out a sigh and crossed his arms.

"Wait. What?"

For a few moments there, I had a pure shock. This person. That I have not even met before. Came to the hospital. And blandly stated that he knows my secret.

"Do not be alarmed Thomas Sanders, I simply come to watch over you and give you the aid of protection."

He said while he goes around the whole room and tidies it up one by one. Right now what crap would possibly go down so, mind as well ask him his name.

"Okay then, can I ask you something?"

"Go on"

"Erm..., what's your name?"

The guy looked at me with surprise. He probably thinks it's weird that out of all the questions I could ask I simply ask his name.

He fixes his tie that he is wearing, crossed his hands, and gave me a small smile.

"Logan Dech. But call me, Logan"

My eyes widened and I could feel my lips form a smile.

"Thomas Sanders! But call me Thomas."
