CRIPPLE : A HIDDEN KING

Too Noisy

Earlier in front of the principal office...

So this is the principal office,

He stared at the door for a while, then he finally decides to knock.

"Come in" A strong voice comes from inside.

He inhaled as he walked inside the room.

There was a huge table where a nameplate was shinning "EMMA WILLIAM, THE HEAD WITCH"

"So you're here" A lady who was in her 30's with blonde hair smiled at him.

Jeez! That scary smile.

Raul just nod.

She stared at him with furrowed eyebrows all focused,

Raul smiled awkwardly, he knew what she.. was trying to do.

She scoffed as she shook her head in disbelieve "So now even pain infliction wouldn't work on you?"

Raul just pursed his lips in agreement.

Emma massaged her temples in irritation.

"Is she out of her mind?" she blurted out in frustration

She couldn't believe that her mother trained him so well that even these spells wouldn't work on him.

But then she stood up in dismay, as she asked him hesitantly knowing the stubbornness of her mother, no way she would let him come here "If you are here, then does it mean she ...she is..."

His throat got tightened as he saw her worried face looking at him with that questioning gaze,

"Yes...Grandma is dead"

'I finally said it..'

She gasped, covering her mouth as slowly tears started rolling down her cheeks. Her feet's trembled because of the sudden shock making her fall down on the chair. Raul steps forward in concern, but she held up her hand showing its palm.

He stopped, mix emotion of guilt and sorrow was running inside him.

"I am sorry"

After taking a couple of deep breathes, she wiped her tears,

"It isn't your fault, my mother cherished you a lot, she sacrificed everything her family, her dreams ... me just for you" She looked at him, in her eyes, there was no hatred or anger that he saw in those eyes ten years ago.

She clearly remembers ten years ago, when she found her mother after so many hardships in that cold forest all by herself with a child. She clearly remembers that day she was grown so weak in that cold place. The moment she saw her she wanted to hug her and tell her so many things that how much she missed her and how many times she prayed to god to see her.

But she wasn't able to tell her anything, after seeing her caressing a child in her embrace with all her love. She felt unbelievable anger fuming inside her body, all she had as the name of her family was her mother. Even if she got married to have a family now and even children waiting home. She still never stopped searching for her mother but after all, this what she actually discovered.. was her mother protecting that child because of whom everything happened and everyone suffered.. humanity, they... everyone. She was protecting him ....from her? as if even she was her family.

She can remember those cold words her mother said to her, She technically threatened her own child at that time "Don't dare to touch that child, Emma go back home.. when I am still giving you a chance"

Was he even more important than her own blood? That was the only foolish thought that came up in her mind. After hearing those cold words from her mouth, she didn't even look back at her mother's face and just left that place. And lost her last chance.

She was foolish at that time getting carried away like a child with jealousy. She misunderstood her mother at that time, for her mother it was a little life which she was protecting as a witch. Now, no matter how much she thinks about that time, the only thing that aches her heart is that she even lost her chance to tell her mother how much she loved her...

All that left is just.. regret.

But looking at him the child her mother raised all alone. She made up her mind, she will do what her mother always did...

She will protect this child at any cost.

"You know, right? You need to stay low here.. this place is full of your enemies if anyone finds out who you are... Then they will hunt you down" She said with a warm smile.

"Ah... Yea. I will stay low" It was really out of blue, he really didn't expect those words and he didn't expect her to smile at him like that.

"Now just leave. There are things I will tell you later, till then stay low without coming on anyone's radar" she said coldly but unlike other times there was still warmth hidden in her words.

"Okay" He smiled a bit and walked towards the door, as his fingers got close to the door.

"When you open the door, don't look at him in his eyes, just hang your head low and leave"

He reflexively turns his head towards her in confusion but seeing no response from her.

He just opened the door and the moment he steps outside he bumped into someone. He could sense it. It was a werewolf .. an original werewolf.

He got it what she meant.

'Don't look in the eyes and walk away from hanging the head down'

"Eghh.. these humans sure don't know their place" He growled at him disgustingly.

He didn't even look at him and just left lowering his head.

'Geez...  humans these days are really manner less.' He thought as he looked at that teenager back who didn't even apologize and walked away.

"Mr. Vlad Kessler"

He looked at Emma, as he remembered for what he is actually come for at this crazy place.

"Mrs. William," He said playfully as he entered the room and the doors got shut automatically.

….

Present time,

Though he laid down and closed his eyes shut, it was too noisy that he couldn't even sleep.

"I am Thana Laveau, here discipline committee head" She smiled as she looked at Woolsey and Selene.

"Discipline committee head?" "What head?"

Woolsey and Selene said simultaneously, then they both look at each other in annoyance.

"YES, we will make sure that you two and your precious kind don't create any fuss" Thana stated boringly...

"Like this?" Selene said as she looked at Wyld who will surely get killed because of that unbearable pain.

But then he heard some footsteps coming towards them.

"Yes... And if you don't want your kind to suffer like this then.... just cooperate with us and teach your kind to act friendly with each other" He said as he removed the spell from both of them. Then both groaning fools felt relieved from that unbearable pain.

Selene and Woolsey both look at that guy talking in front of them. He looked a lot like that head girl just his skin color is fairer than her and a bit taller.

"Now, who the heck are you?" Woolsey asked rudely, though he was thankful at least he removed that crazy witch spell from Waya.

"Agnes Laveau, her twin brother," He said with a mischievous smile.
