The Teacher's Daughter Part 9

"Argh! I going to suffer from homework overload." I hit my head on my book. "Man, I know studying for test is hard work." I didn't think studying for an exam would be hard work. But, I was wrong. I had to learned everything all over again. "Argh, it's too much. Crap."
"What's wrong, now?"
"Oh, nothing," I thought.
"Right," Cyrus thought. "My advice: Don't stress about it."
"Easy for you to say, your the one making the exam," I replied.
"True."
"Okay, I'm going back to studying."  I went back to studying as I plan. "Argh. I'm studying too hard for an exam that going to be easy. Maybe, I should record some videos of something." Then, I looked at Harry and noticed that he was bored and look depressed. "Or maybe I should go outside and take him for a walk." So, I did just that. It was nice to go outside. I wanted to scream "fresh air" but, people would think I'm weird. After that, I just went online. I guess I didn't know what time it was because it was 4:30 when I started and it was 7:30 when I stopped. "Wait, I should get something to eat." I ran downstairs to the kitchen and saw nothing cooked. "Argh. I'll cook something, then." I just made some chicken and vegetables for me and the parents. I just ate in my room. It was quiet in the house. I didn't think it would be so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. I went to bed early that night. I was thinking this evening. It's like a ghost town in here. Maybe, I could make it more lively here. I don't know what the deal is with Cyrus and Annie, but something me there is more to what happened two months after that day. I know who to ask.
"Cyrus," I thought. "Could I ask you a question?" No answer. "Cyrus, could I asked you a question?"
"I heard you," he thought, rudely. "What do you what?
"Someone is in a bad mood, today," I laughed to myself.
"Ask your question or go to bed."
"What happened two months after the incident?" Cyrus didn't answer. "Should I repeat the question? Hello, Cyrus." I didn't get nothing else. It's like the nature of my question bothered him. I'll ask him again tomorrow.
That morning was even more quieter than last night. There is no life in this house. I was bothered this. I didn't mind quiet, but this was too much. I went to the kitchen to get some cereal. I saw the plates that were on the table from last night, empty. They must have been hungry just to come here to eat. I wondered about the idea of trying to get them to eat together. No, that wouldn't work. I erase all of my ideas from my head.
After school, I sneaked into the myth tower to see Cyrus would be there. But, he wasn't there. Weird. I almost went home, but was stopped by Seth.
"Where you going?" he asked.
"Home," I answered. "I was going to study."
"To study what?" he asked again.
"I don't have time for this," I mumbled my breath. I spoke louder. "For the exams, aren't you going to study. There later this week."
"Really," he said looking dumbfounded. "I thought that was next week."
"No, it's this week," I said. "You better study because you'll be screwed if you don't."
"You're right," he said. "Later, then." He ran to his dorm room so fast he would be matched with a wild horse. I went home.
"Hello," I said to an quiet house. "I'm home."
"Oh, I didn't hear," said Annie. "How was school? I thought we could go somewhere tonight."
"What about Cyrus? I asked.
"Oh, him," her voice changed to distaste. "I was thinking you coming to see my parents."
"Sorry, but I have to study," I said with a weird look.
"Oh, right," she said. "You're lost." Then, she left the house. Her behavior was different from all the other times. It was like she didn't like me using his name. I was more curious than ever to found out what happened.
I went to my room, first. I picked up Harry  and carried him to his study. I just walk in. I looked around the huge library. I couldn't found him. It's like he doesn't want to be found. I tried the kitchen and and the living room, but he wasn't there. I wasn't going to give up. I was going to try to talk to him in telepathy again. I sat on the couch, holding Harry in my hands, I was concentrating on my thoughts. I tried to contact him, but nothing. It's weird even for him not to be responding to me. I took a deep breath and Harry jumped off of me. I know he was hungry and so was I, so I made dinner for myself and Harry. I just ate dinner at the table. After I made dinner, I just stared at the plate of food. I wanted to eat, but I something was telling me that I should figure out what is going on. I ate most of my food and went upstairs. I went up the bedroom and knocked on the door. No response. I pushed my ear against the door. I heard was crying. I want to walk in, but it was wrong. I didn't know why he was crying, but I know he needs to be alone for awhile. I went to my room. Harry was following me the whole time. It was nice to know someone haven't deserted me yet. I just went to my room and fell on my bed. Harry jumped on the bed and licked my hand. "Oh, Harry. I wish that there was a way to get them back together. I know you're listen, Cyrus." I looked out the door and didn't see anything. "I need some sleep."
When the weekend come I was so happy, I thought I was going to scream. But, it would be the last weekend I would see Seth, Cody, and Sabrina because next week is the last week of school. Then, we're on summer vacation. I will be able to see them during the summer, but it wouldn't be everyday. We decided on working on our quests.
Once we arrived on to the Krokosphinx, we went to Shalak the Wise to get a quest from him. He wants us to find General Khaba. He was one of the few of the members of the Order of the Fang that were in the Great Sleep. Shalak told us go to Rami because he could help us. But, we had more problems once we got to Rami, we had to defeat some Sphinx Sokkwi. Luckily, that was easy and we went back to Rami. But, the general will only speak to us if we have the Seal of the Fang and Tut Nekhbet has it. It took some time to defeat him, but it was not too hard. Now, we are able to see General Khaba. He asked us about what happened during the Great Sleep. We told him what is going on. He know that they should have destory the Tut earlier. A Soul Scavenger had stole his Coin of Density. We know we have to beat him to get the coin back. It take twenty minutes to beat the ghost and we got the Coin of Density back. That was the easy part of the General's quest, though. We had to repair a sword. I repair stuff when I was eleven, but that was technology, not a weapon. It took a long time to gather the stuff to make the sword new again, maybe a little bit better than it was before. The last thing to do was to forge the sword with the materials we got. But, we need a key, so we had to defeat the Sokkwi Crusher to get it. Twenty Sokkwi Crushers later, we found the key and went back to the General Khaba. The last thing we have to do was used the forge. Problem, the forge is guarded by Odji Sokkwi. And we have to defeat him. This would be better if we just fix the sword with magic, but that wouldn't work well. We were able to defeat Odji Sokkwi, after we went to the Oasis to get our mana recharged. I forge the sword. It was lot of work, but the sword looks like new, probably better than his old sword.
"I hope he likes his new sword," I said.
"I hope so too," said Cody.
"I would want a sword like that," exclaimed Seth. "I wondered if he doesn't mind if I use it."
"Uh, Seth," I said. "We need to give him his sword back not damage again."
"Right," said Seth in dismay.
We went back to General Khaba and give him his sword. He was happy to have his sword back. He stayed behind to rally the troops He told us to let Shalek know about this. Shalek was glad to hear that there was the no effects on the Order. We decided to go home for the day. I wanted to asked Cyrus again. But, there was no point, he'll probably just ignore me. I just played my 3DS for the night. Harry headbutted my arm. "I want to asked him, Harry, but he won't tell me," I told him. Then, I thought, "Harry, maybe you could care him up." I picked up Harry and put him outside of my bedroom. "Come back when you cheered up Cyrus." I waited. Then, Harry showed up. "Harry, I'm glad to see you. Did you cheer us Cyrus?"
"He did."
I was happy to hear his voice. "I was worry about you," I said. I hugged him. I noticed that he has been crying for a while because the tears have dried on his face. I asked, "Why were you crying?"
There was a bit a delay. Then, he answer, "Sorry, I was just a little sad, that's all." He wipe away some of the tears. "I just remember something that happened a long time ago." He looked away from Roslyn after he told her.
"What happened?" I asked. "Because you have been acting weird ever since I asked you about you and Annie's relationship."
"That's what was I was depressed about," said Cyrus. "It was about what happened two months after you were born. Your mother was in so much pain about losing you. She thought it was her fault. I, on the other hand, didn't want to tell her what really happened. But, things got worse. It got to the point that she will do anything to get you back. But, she didn't know where to start. Then, one night I told her the truth. At first, she was shocked. Then, she was furious with me. She started to yell saying that I shouldn't have put you in the mortal world. After, she yelled at me, she asked me, Why I did it? And..."
"You didn't say anything," I guess.
"No, I wanted to protect you," he said. But, that didn't seem to work because she started to cry. I left her alone after that. That when we started to talk less and less. Now, it seems that she does talk to me at times, but it's never often. I'm sorry I told you this story. I know you were probably..."
"No, I wanted to know why you two don't talk to each other," I said frantically.
"It's late," he said. "And you need some sleep." I went to bed after that. I couldn't stop thinking about their relationship. Maybe, there was a I could fix this.
The next day was long and challenging. We went to the arena. Shalek told us that we would need the Khai Amahte. But, he was also concern with their ally Ako hasn't found him yet. He asked us to help him found Khai Amahte. We arrived to see Ako, he told us that we all need to get the Mark of the Gladiator. But, the only way to get it; was to defeat some Sokkwi. We had to split up to get our own Marks of the Gladiator. It took some time because they didn't want to give them up. So, it took a few times just to get one off of them before they died. After, we got four Marks of the Gladiator, we returned to Ako and he said we were good to go. We went to the Colosseum. The Arena Master just laugh at us. He told us to go battle a Sokkwi Ripper. That was too easy. It took one battle to defeat one Ripper. We return to the Arena Master. He said that was pretty good. He told us to go against a wild sunbird. We have  to solo this one because that's how it work. It took me two times to defeat the sunbird because when you're second class is Fire. It makes it harder to defeat creatures that are Fire. After the second time, we went back to the Arena master. He was surprised that we were able to defeated. He thought was beginner's luck. He continued to test us. He had us get some spider eyes for our next opponent, Krag Stonechin.  We went straight to crushing him. But, it took me and Sabrina some time because he was a myth creature. But, we were able to defeat him on the first choice. The third one was Bort Malletmane. Before we could beat him we have to defeat some Sand Stalkers. When we got to Bort, we was another myth creature. The same thing happened to me and Sabrina.
"I hope there are no more myth creature here," said Sabrina with anger.
"I hope the next one that use ice magic," I said.
"You guys are complaining about having myth creatures to defeat," said Seth. "You would be in trouble in you were a balance student against a balance creature with no luck in beating him." The next thing that happened; we were arguing with each other.
"Stop it you guys," said Cody. "I know that it's hard to defeat something from your own class, but that's why we have prism in our decks. Those are used to make your spells be the opposite of your school." We stop arguing and nodded. We went back to work.
The last one was Itennu Sokkwi. We had to defeat some more Sokkwi before him, but that was the easy part. Itennu was harder than the others, but wasn't too bad. For Cody it was a little harder because Itennu was a life. But, he was able to manage using storm spells.
Finally, we would be able to go against Khai Amahte. We were able to beat him together too. No more solo missions. Yay! We arrived at Khai Amahte chamber and went into the room. We confronted Khai Amahte and started the battle. He was a warrior, so this maybe things harder for us. He was beating us. We need a miracle and fast. Luckily, Cody was able to heal us with his unicorn spell. Things went better for us when the battle continue. We were able to defeat Khai Amahte. After the battle, he decided to retired in riches. We told him about Shalek's request. He joined us. He going to get some help from his fellow gladiators. We return to Shalek and told him about Khai Amathe. He know that some of them would forget themselves. Now, they are reunited. After that we went back to dorms and home.
I arrived home to smell food. I went to the kitchen and saw food on the table. And Cyrus
and Annie sitting at the table. I was shocked to see this. But, I ignored the initial shock and sat at the table and ate with them.
