Elemental Lost Past

Chapter 2

We got home and I went straight to my room, and dropped my backpack on the floor. I took a deep breath and sat down at the end of my bed putting my face in my hands. Summer time, then the next year then the next then the next. Always going to be the same..

 

I took out and texted my friends. Asked if they wanted to go to the diner. After the replied saying yes I went to ask Amaro.

 

“sure” He shrugged “I’ll be in the car..” He was quiet for a few seconds and bit his lips “Grandpa..wants to kinda see you” and he quickly went downstairs.

 

I looked down the hallway to the study, door was half open, oh god. What did I do? Is this about my sleeping in class? Grades?!

 

I gulped and started to make my way down the hall, before I enter I Knock the door dont want to get in anymore trouble

“Grandpa?” I peaked in.

 

“Midnight.. Come in” I walked in, I couldn't believe how much he seemed to have changed from the morning. His hair seemed to be extra grey, his dark blue eyes bloodshot, he seemed tired, yes something had happened.

 

“Grandpa?Are y-” Before I could finish he put his hand up to tell me to be quiet..it seemed like forever until he spoke. He looked up.

 

“Midnight, I needed to tell you I’m taking a short trip, I wont be long” I was surprised, he never really told us if he was going anywhere he just left.

 

“Why did you have to tell me?” I said before I could stop myself. He raised an eyebrow and I mumbled “Sorry” he cleared his throat.

 

“I wanted to give you something, incase I took longer than anticipated” He opened a drawer and took out a small silver box, it had our family crest on top, a 8 point shining star..The Shadowspire family. I stared at it in awe.

 

“Your parents gave it to me for safe keeping before.. the incident” his eyes glazed over with sadness, that day he lost my father... his only son, grandma died a long time ago..and I guess we could just never replace him .

 

I nodded and took the little box, as I was about to open it, I found him standing behind me with his hands over mine.

 

“Not until you turn 17” He tried to hide his sadness but I could read emotions pretty well, I looked up at him.

 

“My Birthday is January 1..Thats forever away..” I took some time to think. “you don't plan on coming any time soon are you?” he frowned and sighed shaking his head.

 

“No Midnight..but I assure you I’m coming back. Just..A lot is happening..” He lost himself for a second “I mean in my company”

 

I nodded “Aren't you going to tell Amaro?”
