1 Good news [1/10]
[Brazil, Rio se Janeiro]
A quiet morning was what one lived in a house ... that ordinarily did not have much
This was the Woods Rapp family mansion ... or well now it was just Woods
There was a lot of noise in the place and some small explosions
-Come on Ben you must try much harder, that way you can never become like me
That was the first voice heard in the great courtyard of the mansion, that belonged to Mr. Woods
-Father, I'm exhausted, I know I've only been training for a few minutes ...
-15 minutes to be specific, pretty pathetic
Again the voice of the Lord had been heard to denote some disappointment
-I know father but this training is too excessive for me, I just discovered my powers a short time ago
The young man replied being that he was right, but even so this talk was far from over.
-You do not know what you say ... this is not much, you must be prepared for everything, if we do not want the same thing to happen the other time
This time the voice of Mr. Woods sounded different, somewhat decayed and with some fury and anger within it.
-You can explain that to me, that has been your excuse for a long time and you have never told me why, I want explanations dad!
The fury was notorious and their patience was at the limit
-I won't tell you until you're ready, train ... then we'll talk
And again as it was in previous times he retired leaving his son there alone
-So you leave with nothing to say
-The only thing I have to say is that you have breakfast and then train for another time, otherwise you will not be able to go out to see your friends
-Okay father
Mr. Woods simply retired leaving Ben alone ... again as it was for almost the last month, which was when he discovered his powers
-I would like to know how to be more powerful ... I would like to be like my mother was ... or at least as I have been told
Flashback
POV Ben
I just turned 7 years old and it is one more birthday, all monotonous a party with people I do not know and with children who are not at my level, only children with millionaire parents and nothing else, they are just empty people
When I realized it I heard the door to my bedroom open as I heard the creak of the door, clearly being my dad when he entered to wake me up
-Son you must get up your party will be in 5 hours and 43 minutes exactly at that time the guests will begin to arrive, you must be presentable to receive them
How always my father so ... expressive and loving
But as I said, another normal and monotonous day, there is no difference to a normal day to my birthday
-Yes of course father, do not worry about me, just go see that everything goes well now I will take a shower
I answered trying to appear awake and calm although it was obvious that my father would not believe it.
-You are too sleepy you should immediately go to bathe a shower with warm water and do not last more than 40 minutes if not, it will not give you time to get ready properly
How he always answers me with disinterest and with that somewhat cutting tone that has always bothered me, sometimes I feel like crying but I remember that I am just a character without relevance in my own life story ... quite disappointing
After all I need to abide by what my father says
-As orders father now I will go down and I will arrange it, for the guests do not worry I will receive them when it is time
-Okay son, get dressed and stay presentable, and come downstairs your grandmother is waiting for you in the living room
-Yes, of course now I'll be in the room
After that he left and I had no other choice and I had to take a bath to later have to leave the bathroom still sleepy to dress formally.
I checked that it was a suitable time and I hurried to get dressed in 30 minutes it was already formal and I decided to go down to see my grandmother in the large and silent living room
Going down these stairs is gloomy and quite painful, the few memories of my mother are on that stair
Leaving that aside, I came to the room where the lady who was possibly the most influential in all of Brazil was waiting for me, my grandmother, Margareth Santos Lincoln ... that's how she is of English descent.
Leaving aside the respect that even her grandson should have for her
-Grandmother, what do you need?
-Your birthday gift will be to answer a question, just one, choose wisely, there is no going back, and for your father do not worry he agrees with this, so feel comfortable and speak quickly
-It's about my mother ... What happened to her? I mean, I never knew anything about her, I only have vague memories of her and right on that staircase that gives me such bad memories but I have to go through there every day
-Tell me Ben, are you sure about your question?
-Yes, that's right. How did he die? Tell me a little about that please I beg you
She just sighed
-Okay, as you know she died, shortly after you were born. There was a war and she had to be there, unfortunately she was in a bad place and your father could not be there to save her and well, he died, it was inevitable
I was just in shock but decided to go to my party and forget about it
End of flashback
I only went to eat after training I was exhausted and hungry so I went for food, when I finished eating there was my father addressing me with a serious look
-Son we have to talk
-Tell me father
-You were called to attend the School of Heroes, where I was at the time and met your mother
-...
-Just go to the living room, someone is coming to see you, it's about Dylan, while they are packing your bags, look at him on the positive side, it's the best way to develop your powers, I understand if you're angry, but the decision has been made, I'm leaving son, Dylan is on his way
-As father orders
Again, I did not have the courage to challenge him and I doubt that I will ever be able to do so.
With no other option, I just went to the classroom to wait for Dylan, maybe he was also summoned to school, it would be the only good thing in all the bad
