[b]Chapter Thirty[/b]
The bed was soft as Zane opened his eyes. As he looked around he found himself in a small, cramped room. The walls were dark and the single sized bed he slept in covered half the room. The desk that took up the other side of the room was covered in small pairs of clothing that looked like they would fit a small child. Then, as Zane looked at himself, he realized.
He was a small child.
[spoiler]For Zane.[/spoiler]
English
-
"What the hell....What's going on now?" He hopped out of bed and looked over his clothes and his appearance, very confused on how he was a child again. In fact, this was his old room.
-
What should have concerned him more however was how he spoke. It was light and high, and definitely not deep. As he looked down, he figured he was maybe 3'9. The size of his seven year old self.
-
"Ok, what the actual Fûck is going on....Why am i 7 again?!" He sighed as he got dressed in his armor, clearly annoyed.
-
His armour...well...he didn't actually have any. All he had was a black cloak that fit snug over his frail body.
-
"Oh yeah...They didn't make anyone use armor. Less weight but more speed...." He finished getting dressed and went to open his door.
-
Before he opened it, however, it swung open. Standing in the door was a slender girl with dark curly black hair and brown eyes. She was eleven from the looks of it but she towered over Zane in comparison to his frail build. "You slept in again little brother!" Setsuna, Zane's older sister told him. You must stop doing that or you'll get Akira and me in trouble!
-
"Sorry big sis, I couldn't sleep so I snuck out to train." "[i]Ok, I must be having some kind of flashback. Sis has been dead for years, hasn't she?[/i]" he thought to himself.
-
"Uh huh. You weren't just chasing Akira through town then? Like Miss Winters said you were?" She asked him. She was quite the snoop that was for sure. But that was the duty of the overprotective sister.
-
"It was speed training, gotta keep getting faster right?" Just talking with her was making his heart pulse with pain, why was this happening?
-
"Right, right. So when you sleep in the middle of class, that's meditation training right? And when you don't eat all your food, that's you testing your endurance as well?" Setsuna asked mockingly.
-
"Exactly! What kind of assassin would I be if I slacked on my training?" He laughed inside, Setsuna always gave him a hard time but he knew she was just worried about him.
-
"Ah pretty incompetent one that's for sure." Setsuna told Zane as she grabbed him by his collar lightly and guided him out of his room. There were in an old looking house. Zane's house. Setsuna walked down the stairs that led to the main floor where there was a warm light that egged on Zane to go towards it.
-
His eyes squinted at the warm light, adjusting to them as he followed his sister. "What time is it anyway? How long did I sleep?"
-
"I couldn't tell you. I don't know when you went to bed doofus." Setsuna called her brother. "It's the regular starting time. Five'o'clock." She told him as he arrived on the main floor and saw the incredibly small home. There was a chair, and a square kitchen with a table and an icebox. That was all there was.
-
He let out a yawn as he walked over to ice box and opened it, looking inside. "Damn, only slept for 2 hours then."
-
Setsuna suddenly slapped Zane over the back of his head. "Don't say words like that!" She told him. Zane felt the burn of her contact heated into his skull as his sister reached into the box and pulled out a loaf of bread and a small jar of jam and set them on the table.
-
He winced as he rubbed the back of his head and moved to sit down at the table. "Geez sis, why'd you hit me!?"
-
"Your tongue is speaking fire, Zane. You're seven years old. You shouldn't be talking like that!" She told him as she brought out three plates. She let out a breath as she yelled upstairs. "AKIRA! GET DOWN HERE, NOW!" She called.
-
He sighed as he opened the jam and began to spread it over the bread. "Hey sis, we got anything to drink?"
-
"Water pump is outside. You know that." She told Zane as he heard rushed footsteps making their way across the top floor.
-
"Right, just making sure." He scarfed down his jammed bread and started to spread more jam across another slice.
-
"That's for your brother, right?" Setsuna asked him. "That's the only loaf for the week, Zane. You can't have seconds."
-
Edited by SDK Zane: 5/26/2017 12:31:00 AM"I know sis, maybe we can luck up and catch something later, like a rabbit." He said as he finished spreading the jam.
-
"You know that the Master and mistress would punish us if we did." She told her brother. "We can't have anymore then the other kids. That's that." Then, the footsteps came downstairs. There was a brown headed shaggy haired boy with brown eyes who ran to the table and grabbed the slice of bread and immediately began to scarf it down. This was Zane's little brother, Akira. He was the age of six.
-
"Damn Aki, remember to breath little bro." "[i]Heh, it's a miracle he never choked on his food.[/i]" he thought to himself.
