Reborn For A Second Life

Come With Us

Gradually, Ezra's eyelids started to flutter open and his vision soon returned. His head felt heavy and his body was slightly sore.

"Hey, he's about to wake up..." 

"Call his parents..." 

....

Huh? Where am I? Wh-... Theo? Clara? Mom? And Dad? What's going on? Why are they all gatheri-... Then, a flood of memories before he went unconscious came filling in his mind.

He remembered the recent scene before he went blank, that he had cast strong wind magic and killed the wolves. Now, since he was bedridden in his bed that means Theo and Clara safely carried him to his house.

However, the issue right now was about his parents who might be in deep thought about what had happened to him. Moreover, he returned soaked in red blood.

As he looked at himself, he was wearing new and clean clothes. His parent had bathed him and changed his clothes.

I- I think just screwed up everything. Then, her mother instantly hugged him as soon as he opened his eyes. She was worried about her son who had come home in an unconscious stake covered with blood.

"Thank goodness you're fine..." She cried out loud.

Ezra remained speechless, he couldn't figure out what kind of excuses to tell his mother. He was thinking that it was probably the time, to tell the truth, that he was living his second life in this child's body. 

However, what will happen afterwards, will his parent's act as usual? Will his parent still love him? It could not be helped anymore, there's no way she would believe that his 4 years old son is capable of whipping five Dark Two-tailed wolves on his own.

What should I tell them? Mom to be honest your son was chosen by the Gods to save humanity. No way, that excuse kind of exaggerated. 

...

"Mom there something I have to tell you..." He said it. He clenched his fist while not revealing his face to her.

As he was about to convey his secret to her, his mouth twitched. He couldn't do it, he didn't want his precious life to be domesticated because of his carelessness.

But then,

"It's okay sweetheart as long as you did the right thing, we won't be mad at you.." She expressed those words in a soft tone.

"I know that my spearmanship will come in handy...poor dog" He proudly said.

"You don't need to tell us, we know it already, your friends told us that you saved them, you should just rest now okay, mom will make some chicken porridge for you."She said and stood up from his bed. There seem to be tears around the corner of her eyes.

Huh? What about my magic? Don't you wanna know how could your child beat them all into a junk of meats? Wait, what? Ezra was dumbfounded that his parents didn't ask about his ability to cast magic. As his parents walked out of his room, he let a big sigh and try to calm down.

He then asked Theo and Clara to explain to him what did both of them told his parents. 

"Hehehe we told them that we were attacked by a dog." He explained.

Hahaha, what...seriously? Do they believe that?

Theo also said to him that at first, his parent does not believe them since Ezra was drenched in blood, but as soon as Theo bring about the fact that Ezra killed the dog with a wooden stick that has a sharp edge and uses it as a spear, his father suddenly was moved by the story and proudly approved it.

Therefore, his secrets are safe thanks to Theo's amazing lies and dad's unshakeable bond with his spearmanship.

What a relief that was for him. He worried that his secrets if were exposed, his family won't treat him as the same anymore.

Then Ezra uttered gratitude to them "thank you for keeping my secret from my family." His face slightly turns red, but he turns his head away as he did not want them to see it.

However, both of them shook their head and said "No, we are the ones who should thank you." Since they are the ones who had caused him trouble and ended up being saved by him.

Then, Ezra changes the topic by asking them "by the way, how did you guys climb down the tree?" 

"It was because of your wind magic, it was so strong that it pushed us back and we fell." He replied.

Ezra laughed and rubbed his head while apologizing to them. Then, the three of them laughed together.

Then, Ezra slips out a question from his mouth. "How long did I sleep actually?" Theo quickly replied, "Oh, it's just 6 hours, it's already evening now."

For a second he thought that he had passed out for more than a day, but to know that it's not even a whole day.

Ezra stood up from his bed, then Theo dashed to him as he was worried about him, but Ezra stood up just fine. As if it was his normal routine getting up from bed in the morning.

Then, he said. "I'm fine now, follow me, there's something I want you to hear." Theo, who was worried about him seem to be clueless about what Ezra going to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They walked from Ezra's bedroom toward the kitchen where his mother was preparing them chicken porridges.

His mother was surprised to see his son coming to the kitchen. However, since Ezra had expected that his mother would worry about him so he quickly reminds his mother that he already feels better.

He then sat on the chair at the dining table and he seems to be wanting to ask his mother something.

"Mom, I have something to ask..." 

Her mother nodded her head and listened to his question. 

Ezra then gave her a puppy-face while asking "Can Theo and Clara lived with us? they doesn't have any place to sleep." His question had caught Theo and Clara in surprises. 

However, his mother didn't even flinch hearing those sudden request from his son as she was predicting him to say so. She was also having the same idea ever since she heard about them. She was someone who couldn't watch children in miserable. She tend to help children.Anyway, she didn't care about the rumours anymore because both of them are the one who had helped his son carried him to his home.

She wants to ask the children to stay in their house, but she believe that Ezra are much more suitable for that role.

She gave him a warm smile and said: "Are you sure you want them to live in our house,  don't you worry what other would say about you?" 

After, hearing his mother question Ezra answered it without hesitation. "Yes, I don't care".   

"If my son said so then it's a yes." She said it with an affectionate smile. As she had finished preparing the porridges, "Then, invite them to come here and eat the porridges with us." She said.

After both of them heard the approval they were ecstatic that they could stay over with Ezra's family since they had nowhere to sleepover. They were so excited and grateful to them "Th-thank you so much, Aunt Katelyn and Ezra."

Hearing those words made him felt happy. He let out a pleased smile radiated on his face and accompanied the two of them to their sit. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the sun goes down, the moon came up bestowing the Night with its beautiful moonlight.The three of them were sharing in the same bed. 

"Are the two of you still awake?" He asked them.

"Yeah.."Both of them replied in the same tone.

Ezra had used [Trace] to check his parent and found out that both of them were still sleeping. 

"You are fine to tell me now, both of them had quietly fallen into their slumber." He said.

In the Evening, Ezra parents had asked both of them about their background but Ezra advised them to not tell the truth yet and just gave the 'We Lost Our Memories Excuses'.

The reasons were because Ezra could sense a cursed mark on both of their body. However, it was not a dangerous curse mark like poisonous or that could lead to death, but instead, it was a slave mark cursed.

Ezra tells the two of them to lie to his parent because he wants to investigate it first, before letting his parent know about them being a slave. Ezra did so to prevent things from becoming complicated.

Then, the two of them began unfolding the truth about their origin and when did they receive those SLAVE MARK.ReplyForward
