Chapter 56 Dark

Isiah patted Ciel's head trying to calm him down, because he was sobbing since he reached him this time.

The kid kept on saying that he was a good kid, just the typical response from a traumatised kid.

"Hey, Ciel…let's go back home now"

Ciel's eyes were glowing in the dark when he heard Isiah saying that.

He just giggled then said:"Thank you, sir"

Isiah started to walk this time while saying:"Don't call me, sir"

The kid followed him immediately while saying :" What do you want me to call you?, sir"

Isiah couldn't help but smile at him, then he said: "Isiah "

For some reason Isiah didn't want to tell him about his full name, everyone in this region knew who Isiah Duncan was even though he didn't do anything.

The one who destroyed the system was his brother, but all of them just sat there anticipating his radical change .

Isiah walked towards his home very tired because of the long walk he had, while the kid looked so lively that he thought it was not normal.

The moment he entered his house garden, he looked at Ciel with eyes filled with curiosity.

The garden was burned to ash and Ethyl didn't fix it when she was fixing the house, therefore it looked very bad and scary.

The kid didn't seem to notice anything, he just kept on putting that smile on his face.

The moment Isiah stood closer to the door he found some food left by Richard's mom.

After all of these days , she always took the old food that Isiah didn't even touch and replaced it with a new one ..

The kid smelled the scent of food and ran towards it .

Isiah wanted to tell him not to touch it but it was too late .

Chiel removed the sheet that was covering it and looked at it for seconds before he started to eat it .

"Delicious…''Ciel said while holding a boiled sweet potato in his hand and giving it to Isiah .

Isiah shook his head while trying to reject that offer but the kid peeled its top and stood there and asked him to lean towards him.

Isiah did what the kid asked him, he didn't know what he was going to do but he did it anyways…

Ciel smiled then put the potato on Isiah's mouth.

Isiah was taken by surprise at that moment, he didn't want to throw it and it was indeed delicious so he just went with it and ate the part that was in his mouth .

"See!...i told you …it is very delicious "

Isiah nodded then said "Yes, eat as much as you want "

Ciel ate half of what was there, and when he finished he just dragged Isiah to sit there and eat the rest.

With those adorable eyes, Isiah found himself eating the rest under the looks of ciel.

And when he finished he took the plates and carried them with him to the house which was very dark.

For more than he can remember Isiah never enlightened the house whenever it was dark.

His parents did with their magic, every house here has a gas lamp and they all used their magic to set the fire that which was impossible for Isiah.

" It's dark" Ciel said .

"The place is messy too"

Ciel approached Isiah again and clenched into his tunic, then said :"Do you have a gas lamp? "

Isiah looked at him clueless then said:"I do have one but i didn't use it for a long time, it is down there"

Isiah pointed at the basement then added:"And it is very dark, i don't think i can find it right now"

Anj he completed within himself 'or use it '.

At the beginning Isiah thought that he was dreaming, however that small kid just made a fire spell in his palm, a huge stable one, then said when he realised that Isiah was too shocked with his ability to make a spell: " Where is the lamp ?, let's go find it"

Isiah noded to him then showed him the basement door, and went there accompanied by him to search for the lamp that survived that night with just a few more things.

Isiah took the lamb that was just sat there from that night untouched then walked back with Ciel to the first floor.

The kid enlightened that gas lamp the moment they set their foot on the first floor, and cut the spell that provided him with fire.

Isiah was stunned, the kid was almost six years old yet he was doing the spell at an easier pace ,in a better way, while he was struggling for the past few weeks just to maintain the flame for a few seconds.

"Why does the place look empty? "Ciel said.

"It was burned a few weeks ago"

"Burned?"

"Yes, and since it was fixed again, i kept it this way"

The kid started to walk in the house with curiosity, the house was empty except for some few things that survived that night ..

After he finished his tour, he came back with the light again and said: "Where do you sleep?Where is your kitchen tools?Where are your clothes?"

"I don't stay here that much"

"Why?"

"I have things to do"

"Where is your family?They leveled up?

"Yes" To Isiah that seemed like the right thing to say.

He couldn't tell him that they left him here to face his horrible fate.

" So it is just the both of us"

Isiah didn't reply to what he said, he kept on looking at him in silence .

"Katarina said that my mom and dad died, but…"

What the kid said grabbed Isiah's attention immediately ..

He looked very sad suddenly, he just stood there silent with eyes filled with tears, the kid was trying so hard to contain his emotions.

Isiah stood there motionless, he didn't know how he was supposed to ease the kids' painful memories.

Ciel looked Isiah in the eyes then said:"They didn't die…they leveled up"
