Special: Ministry of San Juan’s New Life- Daniel
Located at the Northern part of Rio Grande City...almost outside the city, on top of a hill...there is a special church where the Di Fiore Family lives...The Ministry of San Juan…the church is surrounded by a forcefield. The church has several buildings aside from the church itself…
The Church is humble and has very little personal...after the arrival of the Di Fiore Family...this is their new way of life...on Daniel's Point of View…
March 15th
(BEEP BEEP BEEP)
"Daniel...time to wake up...you're going to be late for school…" I heard the voice of my mother, I...Daniel Di Fiore...slowly opened my eyes and saw the ceiling. I know I need to get up but...I just can't, I am so lazy right now that I could just sleep for 10 more minutes...So, I decided to close my eyes once more.
"Daniel...Daniel...come on...wake up…" I hear an annoying voice calling me. Then, someone began to move me around, trying to wake me up...Sheesh that was annoying...I slowly open my eyes and see a girl that has white skin, blonde hair and dark blue eyes she is wearing a dark blue skirt that goes down to right before their knees, white buttoned shirt, a red ribbon and a dark blue jacket, that's our school uniform for the girls.
"What do you want, Fabiola?" I asked her as I barely had my eyes open. "Sheesh Daniel...come on and wake up…" She pulled my arm, I was so lazy that I fell off my bed. She put her hands on her hips and said; "How long are you going to sleep?" I yawned and replied; "Well, I can't sleep right now, I will have nightmares after seeing your pink panties…" She immediately covered her skirt and tried to kick me, but I was faster and got up to my bed. "You pervert" Fabiola quickly ran to the door. I yawned once more and replied; "You're the pervert here…" She left the room angry.
I know what you guys think, having a beautiful blonde girl, who's not your relative wake you up and see her panties is any guy's dream...however, not for me...I don't have interest in those things...right now...I only just want to sleep...but I know that if I don't wake up now...my mother will come and make a scene…
I decided to stand up, and went to the restroom to wash my face. I used the opportunity to wash my red hair and see my green eyes. I put on my glasses and returned to my room. I put my uniform on, consisting of dark blue pants, a white buttoned shirt and a jacket with the school logo...Well I have to go, I am only 13 years old afterall...
I went down the stairs towards the dining hall.
As I walked, I heard someone say; "Good morning Daniel...may God bless you today…" I turned around and saw a nun with blonde hair with dark green eyes, she was sweeping the floor with a broom. "Good morning, Sister Carolina...thank you...you too…" I replied to her and continued on my way.
I entered the dining room and saw two girls eating their breakfast along with Fabiola. One has brown skin, black hair and light brown eyes, she is Abril. The other has white skin, light blue hair, and also light brown eyes, she is Mariana. Both of them go to the same school as I, so they have the girl's uniform.
"Good morning Daniel...can you pass me the homework?" Abril, who is very enthusiastic, greets me like usual. "Abril, don't do that...you must first say hello...Good morning Daniel…" Mariana, who is more of the quiet type said to me and Abril. I just ignored them like usual and went to the kitchen.
I entered the kitchen and saw my mother, Maria, preparing breakfast for me. My mother has light brown skin, red hair and blue eyes. She greets me with a smile:
"Good morning Daniel...here, I made your favorites…" My mom gives me a plate with scramble eggs and bacon. I smiled back at her, despite how I look and act...I do have respect for my mother and I would do anything for her… I went to the dining hall and sat at a table by myself and began to eat. I still had 30 minutes before school started so I had time.
"G-G-Good morning…" I heard a voice of a girl entering the dining hall, that girl was Estrella, the new member of the Ministry. She has brown skin, white hair and dark blue eyes. She also goes to our school, that's why she was wearing a uniform...She was once our enemy but now she is considered family...
I personally could care less, but since she is here, I can't treat her badly…Estrella went to the sisters' table...they began to treat her like family, which is good, I bet someone who was alone all this time, really deserves this…
The girls finished their breakfast and decided to run to the door, because there was only 15 minutes left for the school to start. I decided to wait more and slowly stood up from the table, took the plates to the kitchen and walked outside. As I walked outside, someone greeted me:
"Good morning Daniel, I see you're taking life slow as ever…" I turned around and saw Father Clemente, he is a priest and the one in charge of the Ministry. He has white hair and a white beard. "Good morning Father, yup...you guessed it…" I replied to him, he smiled at me and entered the dining hall.
I went outside and looked at the blue sky. Here in the borderland, when we're close to spring, the heat begins to be felt and we only need a jacket to warm ourselves up. I sighed with my eyes closed...
I am a very lazy guy who doesn't like to walk. I took out a circular object and threw it to the ground. The circular object spreaded into 3 pieces and slowly opened a red portal similar to a door.
This is something I haven't told anyone but I connected a portal in the guy's restroom, now I only need to take one step and poof...I am in the boys restroom at the school. By the way, I have cameras installed also, just to make sure nobody is in the restroom...I don't want people asking later…
I teleported to the restroom, (No one was there…) and casually decided to walk outside towards my classroom. I looked at the window and saw the four sisters running towards their classroom. I chuckled because I didn't need to do that.
I entered the classroom, my first class was Algebra...something so easy that I always sleep in the classroom. "Good Morning Jefe…" I saw someone approaching me, he's name was Diego or Apá like he likes to be called. light brown hair, white skin, and brown eyes.He always has his shirt unbuttoned with a dragon shirt below. Behind him were other three people:
Tito (Victor) the brains of the group, he has brown skin, long black hair and bluish eyes. Bofo (Adolfo) the brawns of the group. He has dark skin, curly hair and brown eyes. Chuy (Jesus) is the extra of the group. Because there is always someone who is extra. He has long blonde hair, white skin and green eyes. They are all self-proclaimed delinquents who called themselves The Chuco Clan.
They call me Jefe because I am their boss after the incidents with the Shadow Tamer. They decided to name me their leader but they don't remember any of that...I could careless honestly, but I do need some henchmen…
"Please check our homeworks...we want to pass this class…" The Chuco Clan asked for my help...Even though their delinquents, they want to be greater people...at least that's what I told my Big Brother to put in their memories...I checked their homeworks and made corrections…
(RRRRIIIINNNGGG)
The class began and the teacher entered the classroom, the one who entered the classroom was Flor Gutierrez. She has brown skin and long brown hair. She has yellow eyes, and she is always smiling...which sometimes can be annoying...oh, and she is also a secret member of Yggdrasil, the group that my Father used to belong to...but I have no interest...
"GOOD MORNING STUDENTS...LET'S BEGIN" Ms. Gutierrez began to give her lecture, and I slowly closed my eyes…
School went by as normal...in gym class, we were playing soccer...I particularly hate exercising, but I have no choice...it was a test to complete a mile on the school's track...what a drag…
I was the first to complete it...because I didn't want to take that long...with a time of 6 minutes…I decided to use mana to increase my speed...well, if we have the ability, why not use it right?
"Incredible...you're a natural born athlete…" The coach said to me…Everyone looked so tired and sweaty, something that I dislike…"Gyah, you were amazing...hey, want to hang out with us…" The girls from my class surround me, something that I hate because they are sweaty...I see the guys looking at me with jealousy...Jealous of what? Being surrounded by sweaty girls with high hormone levels? No thanks…
At lunch time, I always go to the ceiling...it's forbidden for students, and that makes it perfect because nobody bothers me...I can relax all I want...well, at least that's why I thought…
"Uhhmm...Daniel?" I heard a feminine voice, I opened my eyes and saw a girl with brunette hair, white skin and hazel eyes. Her name is Naomi and she started to talk to me after the events of Shadow Tamer...I can feel her presence following me...Is she a stalker?
"Do you need something?" I asked Naomi. She looked at me and gave me a home-made muffin; "I made a muffin...please try it and tell me how it tastes…" I sighed and thought that if I tried it, maybe she would leave me alone. I went ahead and tasted it; "It's good…" I said to her, "Really?" She asked me with excitement, I nodded. She quickly stood up and said; "Thank you…"
She quickly ran to the door, I could see Estrella trying to hide. Both of the girls left the roof. I sighed and went back to sleep.
After school, I decided to go home and play some video games when suddenly; "Jefe...what are we doing today?" Apá asked me along with the rest of the Chuco Clan...Seriously, I don't want to do anything with them today...I just wanted to play...I turned around and replied:
"I have stuff to do today...Do your homework or something…" I began to walk, I thought that they would get mad, however; "We will do our best Jefe…" The Chuco Clan screamed and quickly ran to the library. It was embarrassing…
I decided to walk home because I like to see the sky. As I walked, I remembered the events that happened on that night, it was so exciting, I wondered it would happened again...well, when you are the brother of El Charro Negro...it might happen again.
Oh, by the way, Uriel and Valerie decided to live in Sun City...they said it was easier...Easier for what? I mean Uriel can teleport anywhere and Valerie can fl...Oops, I almost spoiled something important…
Anyway, I decided to go home...When I arrived home, I saw my mother, she was preparing some "Caldo de Res" or "Beef Stew", she looked at me and smiled; "Welcome home…" I made little smile and went to my bedroom and wait...After playing video games for a while...I heard my calling; "Dinner Time"
I went to the dining room and we had dinner. Everyone was there, except for Uriel and Valerie. We all ate like normal, Father Clemente told once again some of his stories, everyone already knew about them, but Estrella was so impressed because it was her first time hearing them…
After dinner, I decided to go and do some secret training...yes, I also trained despite being lazy...and that's because believe or not...there are people I want to protect...I went to the hills and began training...You know with a basic jog, some push ups and pushing a giant boulder for strength...and some manna control…
As I was training, I once again felt a presence...this presence has been around for quite some time now...I always look around but I see no one, one time, I got a glimpse of a "golden wolf" but I don't want to jump to conclusions...at that moment, someone else appeared…
I sighed and said; "Do you need something?" Estrella walked out of the shadows and chuckles; "You knew I was here all along?"
She really asked me that? Of course I knew...I have sensors and cameras everywhere...the only one who know that is my brother and his stupid rhythm sense...Now then, I nodded in agreement. She looked nervous at first, ever since she came here...we have only crossed words once or twice.
She looked up and asked; "Daniel...do you hate me?"
What the hell? Hate her? Where did that come from? I sighed with my eyes closed and asked; "Why are you asking me that?" Seriously, she just wanted to ask that? What a bother. She began to reply:
"It's because, ever since I came to live with everyone, you have been acting very distant from me...I would like to know why? Do you think of me as a threat?
"Of course I think of you as a threat...you are a shadow tamer after all…" I replied without hesitation, she looked surprised at first and then she lowered her face really sad; "I see...then...I…"
She looked like she was about to cry, oh boy...time to stop being dramatic; "Look I see you as a threat however, you are now part of the Ministry of San Juan, which means that you are someone that I will protect...Estrella, I don't hate you okay…"
She looked surprised and smiled back at me; "Thank you…" She began to walk away. Oh boy...I do see her as a threat but she is also a human being that committed mistakes, I mean everyone makes mistakes too…
It was almost 9pm...I decided to go home...I arrived at the Ministry and saw my Mom sitting on the ceiling of the church...she looked like she was crying... I immediately went to the ceiling with her...I actually got nervous.
"Mom...are you alright?" I asked her, really nervous. She turned around and smiled at me; "Oh Daniel...how was you training?" I was really nervous, and immediately asked; "Are you okay?"
"I am...I was just remembering the times I passed with your father that's all…" She said that to me...I sighed with relief...Again? She does that very often...I don't remember my dad very well...but my Mom really loved him...so much that she keeps crying for him once in a while…
That's something I am investigating as well...how did he die? What happened the night of January 31st, Five years ago...My mom begins to say: "It's been more than five years...Roberto, you dad, was a great man...he died protecting us...Daniel, you must follow your path okay, and you must be strong because...you never know when I am going to follow your father…" -TCH- "Please don't say that mom...you're young okay…"
"I know I know...anyway, time to go to bed okay...I will see you tomorrow…" My mom left the ceiling. I really hate it when says that...as if she has a premonition or something...Valerie always cheered her up but now she is with Uriel...This is a drag…
I decided to go shower and go to bed...As I looked at the ceiling I wondered...what is the meaning of this life? Are we just puppets who are moved by Destiny?
I know pretty deep questions right? I bet you have always wondered that…
Before I slept, I decided to continue preparing for something...I have the feeling that something will come...something will happen that will be worse than the Invasion...and I need to be prepared...I need to be ready for when "it" arrives….
That was the story of my normal day here at the Ministry of San Juan...I...Daniel Di Fiore...am always cautious… The End...
