That merciful tender voice disappeared in an unknown instant. Isiah faced death multiple times now, however, the fear of it continued to be horrifying.
He didn't know how much time had passed, the pain was the only thing that confirmed to him that he was still alive, yet the influence of darkness around him gave the impression that he was under hallucination.
The sense of time had gone the moment his body impacted the ground beneath him.
Something kept holding his body still this whole time and for him, he was sure that it was not gravity.
It was something that he refused to believe, he always hated the belief system because of his manipulative horrible parents, he only believed in what he saw since his first life and it has been working just fine for him.
His mind didn't struggle that way and his heart took a rest from battling endless battles that he always lost for the love of his corrupted parents.
"Isiah …are you awake!...this is taken so long…I feel like something went wrong when I tried to save you "
Again that tender voice is begging for him to open his eyes as if someone is really waiting for him to be awake….As if someone is caring for him.
"Isiah …you don't get to be arrogant like you always do…just give me a sign"
Isiah listened to that voice when all he could see was darkness, and just followed it day after another till he woke up feeling a hand touching his, carefully.
" Isiah …Isiah …you opened your eyes …oh ….this is ..how are you feeling? ..are you okay!"
Isiah listened to that voice and all he felt was despair, he already opened his eyes yet he couldn't see the woman next to him ….
Now and after all her attempts to wake him up, his mind just gave an idea about who she was.
" Miss Adelita …what's happening here !"He tried to control his voice as much as he could, his reaction too.
" Three days ago you had an incident…. a terrible incident in the institution….you fell from the window and you hit the ground….from the third floor …it was a huge impact ".
Isiah's memory was not clear, he didn't even recall being there for a start, he shook his head then covered his face with his hands, and the smell of ash and fire disappeared.
" ahhhh..aaaaaah ….i ….miss…i …i can't ..see"He was now trembling.
" What ….What are you saying !"
" I can't see…you "He yelled at her impatiently.
"Okay …okay …I kind of thought about ….such a thing …I told you the impact was huge and you fell on your back, do you remember what you were doing before that?".
Even when Miss Adelita tried to cover her frustration about his state he just noticed the stuttering in her words.
Isiah sat on a comfortable bed, he knew that he was not in his house because he never had such a comfortable bed one .
" The pain is gone ….did you help me ?"
" I am not that powerful when it comes to healing magic, I only eased your pain a bit but that will start the moment my magic is drained "
" Am I in your house ?…"
" No one tried to help me , right!"
" No …no …don't say that …Isiah …I just wanted you to be safe here, some kids told me that your parents left the district…I wanted you to stay by my side till you recover ".
" Recover? Recover ? ….ohhhhh…. I want to die …I want to die ….i want to start all over again …I can't …I can't live this life …it is too hard for me …I can't stand this world …I am just blamed for something I didn't do …tell me why !!!!tell me ….you are the …educated, strong powerful mage here …tell me why am I blamed for what Lucas did"
Isiah lost it completely at that moment, he wanted to stand and leave yet somehow his body didn't obey him, he had severe injuries and the only thing that kept him alive was miss Adelita's magic .
She cast a freezing spell on him so he didn't just resist her while laying him on her bed, but he kept yelling and swearing like he was possessed.
Adelita was used to seeing him as a cool kid who was forced to get out of his shell to face an outrageous world.
He was doing okay until he started to resist.
His teacher admired that about him, she stood on his side when no one did, some people hated her for that but to her, she was doing what she was supposed to do.
" You should have killed me …it was the perfect shot yet …you chose to torture me for a longer period …I hate you …Ihate you adelita …I hate the institution ..I hate my colleauges…I hate magic ..I hate the system ..I hate my parents...I hate myself …I hate Lucas…I hate Lucas more than anything…just do it …kill me …kill me ..kill me "
He kept yelling and yelling all the time he had been conscious, and all she did was sit next to him without doing anything but freezing his body so that he couldn't move , and ease the pain he was feeling because of the impact.
Adelita kept listening to him day and night, she felt his pain like it was hers…She wanted to assure him that she was going to stay by her side but all she felt was the heaviness of the emotions that he had been carrying around . This update is available on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Days had passed that way, he wanted to die, he wanted to disappear from that world, slowly he remembered the incident and all the events that led him to that state…
He shouted for Samuel's name for days while picturing his face whenever he felt pain .
That was endless torture for his hurt soul, he lived when he didn't want to.
