1057 Words
It turned out to be real.
He accepts his new fate, and decides to live the best out of his new life.
He walks to the bathroom, and was quite awestruck by the beauty, and space. There was a bath, and a shower, and a large mirror by the side of the wall.
There were so many cupboards, and being a curious person, he walked towards them, and rummaged happily.
Even though he was unfamiliar with the new environment, he was quick to adapt, and didn't try to pee in the tub anymore.
He tried on almost all the clothes in his closet, and when he finally found one , he decided to go out of his room, and see the world outside this place.
He opened the door, and was met with a long hallway. The hallway was as bright as day even though there weren't any windows in sight.
He trudged on, and finally reached the end of the hallway. The smell of camphor was in the air, and the living room down the stairs looked so deserted.
"Mom!" A girl screamed, and barged into the living into the house like a maniac.
"I am so gonna kill him!" She screamed, and stopped her madness when she sighted him standing by the hallway.
"Oh. Hey, Ezana. How're you doing?" She said. Her voice had lowered, and she wasn't shouting, and screaming like a maniac.
"Who are you looking for?" He asked.
Apparently, he had transmigrated into a boy called Ezana, and now that he knew his name, he was more than happy to know the meaning.
"That rascal. How dare he?" She grumbled as she made her way past Ezana.
She suddenly turned around, and pouted. "You're not hiding him, are you? Cuz, if I find out you are.... Well, you wouldn't wanna know."
Then she stormed off leaving curious Ezana speechless.
"So, my name is Ezana," he muttered happily.
"Ezana!" A woman screamed as she marched into the living room.
Ezana recognized her as his mom. He had no idea how he recognized her, but he did.
"Ain't you supposed to get ready for school?"
Ezana was speechless. What was a school? He'd never heard of one in his previous life.
"Err... Mom, I can't go to school," he blurted. He was fine, and he wasn't sick, but he didn't know what a school was.
"You fool... What trouble have you caused in school?"
Ezana smiled flawlessly, and walked down the stairs. He didn't notice the man on the arm chair until a deep voice rang behind him.
"Where have you put your manners, boy?"
"D- dad," Ezana answered.
"Weren't you taught to respect your elders?" The man said.
Ezana was growing irritated by the passing second. How was he supposed to greet this guy.
He stood rooted his spot, and didn't even move a muscle.
"Morning pops!" A vibrant young man smiled at the man on the couch.
"Hey Ezana," he said as he turned to Ezana. "Ready to go sky diving?!"
Ezana tensed. Sky diving! He was terrified of heights.
Their mom, Callisto was a strict, but loving woman. She sounded, and acted strict for the happiness of the family.
Their father, Bedivere was a strict, and strong man. Although, he hated teenagers, he was brave enough to put up with his rebellious teenagers.
The first son was Darian. He was very rebellious, and he even skipped school; consequently, he went sky diving. He was practically useless to the family, and Bedivere wasn't gonna waste time, and money on trash.
The second child was a girl. Her name was Bryony. Bryony didn't take after her brother, Darian. She worked on computer engineering, and network. Being she was a black hat hacker.
The third child was Erasmus. He was rarely home, and was mostly seen at hotels, and clubs.
All three of them didn't even finish highschool, and their parents put hope in Ezana. But, their Ezana wasn't with them anymore.
The previous Ezana was very obedient, and kind, and respectful. Every morning, he'd fetch his dad coffee, help his mom in the kitchen, and then go to school.
But, the current Ezana didn't even know how to greet his parents.
Their family was the weirdest family anyone could ever encounter.
Why?!
They had network in the Mafia world. Bedivere was a very big influencer down there, and his kids... Except Ezana that is.
Erasmus was a spy sent by Bedivere to watch their enemy's moves. Bryony hacked their enemy's account, and put trackers everywhere.
Darian, in pretence of going sky diving was accomplishing some missions.
Ezana was pure, and innocent. He knew nothing about the business.
"I don't remember Ezana skipping school, and going sky diving with you. The poor boy is afraid of heights, you creep," Callisto said as she patted Ezana's long hair.
"Erasmus!!" Bryony screamed, and a handsome looking young man marched down the stairs grumpily.
His jet black hair was like a nest on his head, and his clothes were crumpled. He smelled like sweat, and cigarettes.
"Hey pops," he called as he made his way to the kitchen.
"Erasmus darling," Callisto called sweetly. She only used that voice when she needs something from someone.
"Mom, I can't help you to apply makeup on your friend's face today," Erasmus answered grumpily.
"No no darling. I want you to take Ezana to school," she waved her hands hurriedly.
She had once told Erasmus to help her in fixing her friend's makeup. It was her friend's birthday, and since Erasmus was a con artist, she thought he could apply some makeup for her friend.
The whole ordeal ended up in a disaster as the makeup was inappropriately applied. The powder was too much, she looked like a ghost.
The mascara was way too much, the eyeliner was a messy mixture of brown, purple, and green.
"Oh... Hey Ezana. Didn't see ya there. Let's go," he said as he walked towards the door.
Ezana didn't know what to do, and he racked his brains for an excuse, but could not find any. Nonetheless, he was a little bothered about Erasmus.
"Erasmus...." He called softly.
The whole family turned their attention to him, and he tensed a little.
"What?! Don't wanna go to school, princess?" Erasmus answered sarcastically.
"Oh no. It's just....."
