Magus Supremacy-Chapter 65: One more person to protect
"Mum, I'm home!" He called out and then he opened the door and walked in with a smile on his face.
"Grey?" Clara called from the kitchen and then he heard running noise and a small girl appeared in front of him with a smile on her face.
"Bro… Grey." Jesse called out after almost calling Grey her brother.
"What do you want?" Grey asked with a sharp annoyance in his tone and Jesse's face fell flat in sadness and she almost began sobbing but she quickly regained her composure.
"I don't want anything Grey, I just came out to greet you." Jesse said but then Grey just walked past her nonchalantly towards the kitchen while Jesse choked up.
'Why? Why is brother Grey pushing me away? Why does he hate me? Did I do something wrong?' Jesse thought but with a sigh, she walked towards the kitchen trailing behind Grey who just entered the small kitchen that had shelves barely hanging on.
"Mum!" Grey called out again and Clara turned around to see him have a beaming smile on his face.
"Grey? Where were you?" Clara asked.
"Mum! I have good news for you!" He smiled and then took his mum from the kitchen after turning down the fire and they went into the sitting room.
"What is the news?" Clara asked. "And where did those town's lord men took you to?"
"They took me to see lord Cedric who needed my help with rescuing his son that was kidnapped by the other town." Grey replied.

"Kidnapped? Help? Hope it wasn't dangerous? Are you okay?" Clara asked as she began looking all around Grey trying to spot any visible wounds but there was none.
"Relax mum, I'm alright. Anyway, after the mission was completed, lord Cedric decided to reward me with 5000 gold coins." Grey said happily.
"5000 what?!" Clara asked as she shot out of her seat feeling her heart thump loudly in excitement.
"Yes mum, this is it." Grey said as he produced the chest with the gold coins in it and Clara's face was glistening looking at them and she even reached out her hands to touch them to see if they were real.
"They are real!" Clara said after thinking that they were fake as she was doubting what Grey was saying all along but seeing and as well touching the coins, she knew that they were real.
"Woah! Shiny!" Jesse exclaimed as she reached out her hands to touch the gold coins.
"Did I give you permission to touch them?" Grey asked angrily and Jesse's outstretched hand froze, motionless and uncertain. Before she slowly pulled it back and her eyes welled up but she quickly wiped it away and walked towards her room.
"Grey, you don't have to be rude toes her. I thought you would have forgotten about this by now." Clara said.
"Are you kidding me? I can't forget this, for it was because of her you almost lost your life." Grey replied angrily.
"But I told you that it was my decision to save her, she didn't force me to. So if you want to hold someone responsible, hold me." Clara replied. "Please, try to get along with her, we are the only ones she has. For f*ck sake, this girl is an orphan.
What if something happens to me in future, would you abandon her like this?"
"What are you saying mum? Nothing will happen to you, I promise to protect you with my life." Grey said.
"I know. But I also want you to have another priority apart from me. Please consider her as the little sister you never had, kindly forget about that incident please." Clara pleaded with tears welling up in her eyes.
Grey hated seeing his mum like this. The last time he saw her cry was when his dad died and ever since then, he promised to make his mum as happy as possible and he would make sure she never felt sad or cry ever again. So seeing her eyes well up, it was pulling at his heart strings so he just sighed.
"Fine. I will do what you said, I will forgive her and draw Jesse close. Happy?" Grey asked.
"Very! Now if you will excuse me, let me go and try cheer her up." Clara said and was about to stand up.
"No, let me." Grey said and then he handed his mum the chest full of coins.
"I will hold onto this and tomorrow I will go and look for a new, good house in the upper parts of town so we can live in comfortably." Clara smiled.
"As if you read my mind." Grey smiled back and then he used his wind magic on a minuscule scale to fly towards Jesse's room or in other words, his mum's room.
As the house just had two bedrooms with his parents occupying one earlier and him occupying the other as he enjoyed his privacy from a small age and it wasn't as if like he had any older or younger siblings to begin with.
Getting to the room's door, Grey gave it a gentle knock.
"Jesse, you in?" He called but there was no response so he spread his wind magic around the door and causing it to seep into the room and then he heard soft sobbing.
Twisting the door knob, he walked into a room that was much smaller than his with a single torn and worn out bed at the side and the paint in the room was already peeling.
'It has been ages I came into this room, I don't remember it looking this miserable. Now I'm feeling bad for getting the best room out of the two rooms in the house.' Grey thought and then he scanned the room for Jesse when his eyes landed on a huddled over Jesse knee with her back on the wall and her face in between her knees sobbing.
"Jesse!" Grey called out softly and then she lifted her face up to see Grey in front of her.
"I did nothing, please don't scold me again like you always do." Jesse said in between sobs and snot.
With a sigh, Grey walked over and sat down beside her with his back against the wall and him facing ahead.
"I'm not here to scold you, I'm actually here to apologize to you." Grey said.
"Apologize? Really?" Jesse asked sniffling and wiping her face from the tears. "Are you here willingly or did mother Clara forced you here?"
With a sigh, Grey stood up. "Wanna see a trick?" He asked to which Jesse replied by nodding her head.
"Fire magic! Flame!" He called out and a small flame appeared in front of Jesse. "Lightning magic!" He called again and a small spark of lightning hit the fire in front of Jesse and then it exploded in a mini fireworks producing a mix of different colours.
"Wow!" Jesse exclaimed as she wiped her face totally of tears and watched the phenomenon happening in front of her eyes with wide eyes.
"Feeling better?" Grey asked and Jesse responded again by nodding. "I'm sorry for always scolding and pushing you away. I don't know if you will understand what I want to say but I will say it anyway." He said and then he came over and sat back down in his position.
"I lost my dad not long ago and seeing my mum brace herself and run into danger to save you while almost dying, this feeling of pain I felt when my dad died came back again and I developed a sort of resentment towards you for almost being the cause of my mum's death but now I see I was slightly wrong for resenting you.
It wasn't your fault that you lost your parents nor did you force mum to run up and save you. She saw a helpless kid and wanted to do whatever was in her power to help, something I should I have done. So that's why I'm here to ask for your forgiveness, will you forgive me?"
"Of course bro… Grey." Jesse said with a beaming smile on her face after wiping all the tears from her eyes and snot too.
"Don't worry, you can call me brother. You are now my younger sister." Grey said as he ruffled her hair and then her face lit up more and she swung her arms all around Grey hugging him which caught him unexpectedly.
'I guess mum was right huh? I have one more person on my list to protect from harm's way and I will do everything in my power to protect those on my list.' Grey thought with a smile as he hugged Jesse back.
