The Cheat Seed

Chapter 24: [Dave's Vlog]

As Usual Dave Vagner Made his way to the Big Private Villa he owned by the coast. His Father was resting on a luxurious armchair when his mother was sitting by the swimming pool, her legs partially underwater. Dave greeted them gloomily as he closed the gate behind him with a pull of his hand in the air. He had mastered Telekinesis yesterday. When His Father saw his son enter, he got up from his Armchair and walked towards Dave.

With a hug, he received Dave into his chest and kissed his head.

"You are outgrowing me, Dave, That's my child *sniff*"

"Ah, cmon Dad I am 18 already, stop with these smoochy things"

Dave said in his gloomy voice.

Right after Dave left his Father's arms his Mother attached herself to him.

"Welcome Daveyy, Mommy made some amazing dinner tonight, there's so much food that you could feed 3 entire houses"

"Then It's better to feed 3 poor houses"

He scowled and rushed out of her grip into his Huge villa.

Dave's dad and mom looked at each other and sighed.

"He still hasn't forgotten him"

Dave's dad said as he got close to his wife and hugged her gently, his gaze fixed on his son who was walking away from them to the villa.

"How could he? he had the happiest time of his life with Marcus."

Dave's mom said as she laid her head on her husband and closed her eyes. A drop of tear rushed down her eyes and dropped on the paved path.

"He used to be so energetic, now look at him honey...he's...he looks dead!"

The woman spoke, her voice wavering.

Dave's dad shook his head.

"*Sigh* Let just hope that he comes back home"

He said, shifting his gaze to his wife who was also looking him in his eyes now.

"Let's just hope that Marcus comes back home"

.............

Dave reached his room in a breath and changed his Academy clothes and wore a casual T-shirt and loose shorts. Closing his door behind him, He slowly paced towards his table. He pulled the chair back and sat on it with a sigh. His eyes were barely open, it was not because he was feeling sleepy, it was also not that he skipped sleep. It was because of him. MARCUS!.

His only friend, The only friend he cared, The only friend he had made during his Eighteen-year-old life. The Sudden suicide of his only friend made him gloomy As if he had died on the same day too.

Dave rested his head on the chair and stared at the ceiling. His eyes waltzed as he thought about his days with Marcus. They were Fun and especially, they were happy days.

He came back to his senses and opened the table shelf beside him. There was a diary inside. His log recorder. Dave used to write in the diary and he recorded important things which happened every day, just in the hope that Marcus would come back and he could tell him all about the 2 years he missed.

Grabbing the pen from the pen stand, Dave opened the Diary and started writing.

'The year 2023

October 23rd

It's been 2 years since Marcus die... Vanished!!. His birthday is tomorrow and I have prepared for the Birthday party. Brought many presents for his parents and his cute sister. Evelyn resembled him a lot. I smile like a moron whenever I see her play around. But I also feel empty when I leave her behind.

Mr. and Mrs. Orno was always there for me when I needed them and Marcus too. But here I am, his only friend who failed him.'

A tear splashed on the page. Dave rubbed of the left tears from his eyes and evaporated the moisture on the page.

'Ah, What am I even saying, I am pretty sure he'll come back for us. He is not the type to leave his loved ones behind but...Leaving that matter aside. As I said I have prepared all the necessary things for his birthday party.

I still remember, How bloodshot His parent's eyes were when they heard about the incident. They registered a complaint against the school management and blamed them for their son's death...Disappearance.

I had done what I could to support them. Being a Legendary seed had helped me a lot till now, but during all that mess, my power, my seed couldn't do anything, For false accusation, Marcus's dad was charged and was pulled out from being One of The King's Ten Mages. Mr. Orno accepted it with pride and left with a challenge to the king, that he'll bring back his son and make him the best out of the best. The King didn't charge him with anything as he thought it was words from a paining Father who lost his son...

But even though I told them they could come to stay with us in the Villa, they denied it. Mr. Albert Orno now works with the Farmers in the fields and Mrs. Reirin Orno had started her bakery in the Capital city. It is small but I have arranged for people to deliver funds secretly. The one thing The Orno Family denied was sympathy. Haizzz.

But trust me, Marcus, I'll take revenge for you, I'll get that Gabriel son of a pig and his digger Girlfriend. Because your friend is now a Legendary Seed User, Ranking top 3 in the Revoker board at the age of 18...all for him. I am doing this for Marcus. My Best and my only friend....'

Dave threw the pen into the air and it landed perfectly on the pen stand. Closing his Diary he yawned. Dave pulled the table shelf back once again and with immense care placed the diary inside. He closed the shelf and locked the shelf with a fire spell.

Thinking about Marcus and his days with him, he slowly walked over to his king-sized bed. Dave smoothly got under the blanket and switched off the lights with a snap of his fingers. It was bedtime for him.

Dave had to get sleep tonight because he was going to have the biggest surprise in his life ever the next day.
