The Threshure's house

18 days before Cain's turning of age ceremony

Third person's pov

It was a usual morning as always for Cain, the sunlight beamed through the small window of his room, dazzling upon his face, slightly waking him up in the process. As Cain felt the sunlight, he opened his eyes and slightly adjusted his body to be more comfortable in bed. He remained there, lying in bed for some few more seconds before Lana slammed his door open, "for, how long are you planning to sleep for? Wake up and eat this", she said as she brought a plate with small proportions of food in it. "Good morning, Luna thanks alot", he said, to which Lana just stayed quite. "Don't come downstairs father and the others are in the sitting area, but I am going to warn you, that if father asks for you to join them, do not get to nervous and be on you best behaviour." She to which Cain completely froze up, " M-me? Why would father ask about me, a-and GO DOWNSTAIRS!! in his presence", he claimed, bewildered. Lana just rolled her eyes, showing her annoyance and, in a nonchalant tone, just said, " will you ever learn to fix this attitude to yours, always stammering and nervous...... He just wants to inform you about your turning to age ceremony and to not waste his reputation, I guess', Cain felt shivers just hearing about the interaction. "Why would he even arrange a ceremony for me, I thought he didn't wanted anyone to acknowledge me, that's why I was never allowed outside?" He said in a small, defeated voice, Lana just gazed at Cain with a stern look, while internally pitting on him, " well, all I can think about is that,he thought it would be a good way to get rid of you" she claimed, while making her way outside from the small room.

Cain's pov

What! This is seriously happening. My father wants to talk to ME!!! The same person that didn't even want to look at my face, the person that didn't let me outside this house for my whole life wanted to arrange a ceremony for me. This is just insane, a whole event with thousands of people....he's willing to let me being seen by this many people. I thought that I was ruining his reputation enough by just existing... While thinking such thoughts, I finished the food Lana kindly bought me. I couldn't taste the food, but it's not everyday that I get breakfast, so I just ate everything completely. After two hours I'm still panicking. Why hasn't he asked for me yet? What should I do when I go downstairs? How should I even greet them..... and mother will also be there, I don't even clearly remember her face since that day...

flashback ( 13 years old Cain )

As the enchanting and submerging melody was ringing through the music room, the 13-year-old boy became curious and followed the sound, ever so quietly he peeked through the giant door and saw his mother, a sight he rarely saw, playing the piano. Even though he barely saw his mother, he still remembered her. He remembered his mother coming to his room at midnight and just patting his head and kissing his forehead, but she stopped coming for a while now....he missed her, so he sneakingly went inside and when he was close enough to her, with her back faced towards him, he with much hesitation just hugged the women really softly from her Back. The women froze up and immediately turned around. As she saw him, her expression changed to one of confusion and slight annoyance. She got up from her chair and just dragged the boy from his arm in a really harsh manner, all the way outside the room and hurriedly closed the door... After a while, coming to his senses, the boy just ran to his room and went to bed, thinking that his mother had forgotten about him, she couldn't recognize his face and, while thinking that, he cried himself to sleep.

As I was thinking about that day, tears started rolling down my face. I just hurriedly wiped them off while thinking that, it's no time to cry over past memories. I need to change into some presentable clothes to greet them downstairs. I opened my closet and realized I didn't have much. Well, it does makes sense, the only cloths I had were all given by Miss Anna, David and sometimes Lana. So I just grabbed whatever looked the most presentable and changed.

Soon Miss Anna came inside my room, "dear,...Lana told you, right? Your father wants to see you downstairs" she said worriedly, "yes, Miss Anna Lana told me, does he wants to see me now?" I inquired. "Yes honey, but you don't have to even worry about a thing, David is also downstairs right next to the door, he's on guarding duty today" she told me, to ease my anxiety. "Thankyou! Miss Anna, but don't worry, I'm not that nervous, Lana already told me a little about the discussion that is suppose to happen" I said, in gratitude to which she just smiled in relief, "honey, be careful and when you're done make sure to stop by our place, oh! I forgot I was baking your favourite cake, I have to go look at that!! Don't be to nervous OK, I have to go now " she hurriedly claimed as she left, after patting my head. Miss Anna is so kind, she always makes sure to make me feel at peace..... Well, now I just have to go downstairs. The thought of seeing mother was making me feel so uneasy for sometime now, all these listless and baseless thoughts kept spinning around my head. A few minutes later, I prepared myself, cleared my head, and .....went downstairs....
