18 Chapter 18 (1/2)

”Take me... someplace... private...” my voice cracked under the pressure of my imagined hurt and pain. HAHAHA!

”Medical Bot, take care of that boy and take him to the infirmary. I will handle this one right here.” my teacher instructed the one that helped my injured classmate.

”To the rest of you, class is dismissed. I'll see you all tomorrow morning.” and she added before whisking me away from this place.

”THUMP!”

FUCK!

Was that my left ear? HAHAHA! Miss Lillian bride carried me out as i heard several parts of me drop with each jiggle.

”What do you want me to do?” she asked after we arrived at what seemed like a private quarter for teachers. Hers.

With only the two of us and away from the eyes of people. Just like the doctor ordered. HAHAHA!

”Okay... Let... me cast... the seal... first...” i answered in difficulty.

”I call upon the blood of my predecessors... May they come alive in me today... To grant me longevity... To let me use the power that was once theirs...

Borrowed Time!” my voice was not uttered by my mouth but it was heard all the same by my teacher. The words of power echoed loudly within the confines of the room.

”Incantations? You're the descendant of a witch!” Miss Lillian's shocked voice resounded out loud.

”Yes. Can you keep this a secret, Teacher Amber?” i was now totally fine. My body reformed itself anew. For a time. And at a dire cost.

”I will have to report you to my superiors! It is my duty to do so. I'm sorry.” my teacher replied.

I could see that she was crestfallen about her decision. What an innocent maiden. HAHAHA!

”I understand, teacher. You don't have to do anything at all. You could just wait an hour for my spell to expire.

And after that... After that i don't need to worry about anything anymore.” i said in a sorry voice.

I could have been a good actor if i wanted. HAHAHA!

”What do you mean?” she asked.

”My resuscitation is only temporary. When the time comes, I'll be long gone and be finally free from this cursed life.” i answered and sat down on a chair, then closed my eyes to wait for death in silence.

But with my mind's eye, i could witness her reaction as clear as the bright of day outside. She wanted to open her mouth but no words came out.
