Chapter 3 Surprising Events
We studied for an hour or two. My brain was crammed with numbers and dates but somehow I managed to keep focus. Suddenly, Silver looked up from the history textbook and started starring at something. I followed his gaze to the chandelier in front of the kitchen door. It started to creep me out.
"Hey, Silver? You okay?" I asked, waving my hand in front of his face.
"Is that chandelier bolted to the ceiling tight enough?" He asked.
I wondered what that was supposed to mean. "I think. Why?"
"It's about to fall on your mother." He said calmly.
"What!" I screamed.
Right on queue my mother walked through the kitchen door and I saw the chandelier's chain break. "Mom!" I screamed, trying to warn her of the chandelier, but the chandelier didn't fall instead it was being held up by a mysterious, aqua, glowing substance.
I looked at my mom with panicked eyes. Then I looked at Silver with frightened eyes. My gaze immediately fell to his hands which had the same glow as the substance keeping the chandelier from falling.
"My goodness, Sonic! What's with all the screaming?" My mother asked me.
I looked back at the chandelier trying to figure out how to answer that question. Luckily, Silver saved me. "Oh, he's just nervous. I'm Silver Hedgehog, Sonic's tutor. You must be his mother?" Silver reached out his hand.
My mother took his hand and smiled. "Yes, I'm his mother. You can call me Mrs. Hedgehog or Mrs. Bernie if you'd like?" She said.
As soon as my mom walked out from under the chandelier to shake Silver's hand the weird glow around the chandelier disappeared and the chandelier scattered as it hit the ground. Smash! I stare at it in pure shock. I look back at Silver (whose hands were no longer glowing) and my mom as they turned around in shock.
"Well, lucky it didn't fall on top of me, saves me a trip to the hospital." I knew my mom was joking but I was not laughing. I was in a state of horror, shock, and confusion.
"Yeah… lucky." That's all I could mutter.
"Sonic, sweetie, are you okay?" My mom asked.
"Yeah, fine mom." I said.
"Are you sure?" Silver was about to say something to get my mother to leave me alone when my sister came rushing down the stairs, with my brother following close behind.
"Is everyone okay? We heard a crash!" Sonia said in a worried tone. She looked at our mother, then looked at Silver, then looked at me, until finally her eyes laid on the chandelier on the floor, now in a million metal and glass fragments.
"Okay..? What did we miss?" Manic said, staring at the broken chandelier as well.
"No need to worry, darlings. The chandelier just broke, but we're all fine." My mom reassured them. Soon, I was the only one left that was staring at the chandelier in fear.
"So, you must be Silver?" My sister asked my tutor.
"Yes, I'm Silver Hedgehog and you are?" He asked.
"Sonia Hedgehog. Nice to meet you, Silver." Silver reached out his hand to shake Sonia's hand but she rejected it. Silver had no problem with this and walked over to Manic.
"Nice to meet ya, Silver. I'm Manic." Manic said. Manic and Silver shook hands as my mother went to get the broom.
My mom came back with a broom and a garbage can. She was about to begin the task of sweeping up the chandelier when my brother asked if he could help.
"Thank you, Manic. By the looks of this mess I'll need as much help as I can get. Sonia? You wouldn't mind if you could help me as well? Sonic needs to stay with Silver and study." My mom smiled brightly.
"Okay, mother." Sonia said. I looked at my sister and just now noticed the new outfit she was wearing. She wore a white summer dress with a light brown ribbon rapped around her waist. She had a light brown, short sleeved jacket and light brown, high-heeled boots. She looked elegant.
As my siblings and my mother sweep the glass fragments and picked up the metal pieces of the chandelier, I stared at Silver's hands, for the fourth time today, expecting them to glow again. I didn't even notice that Silver was talking to me. I snapped out of my trance and turn my gaze to Silver's cheery face. "What did you say? I didn't hear you." I asked.
"I was only asking if you wanted to finish our lesson on history before I leave. Are you okay? You seem stressed." He asked.
By now my sibs and my mom were already taking the trash out so I was sure it was safe to ask the weirdest question I will ever ask in my entire life, "How did you know that the chandelier was goanna fall?"
Silver's smile immediately turned to a nervous grin. "What are you talking about?" He asked.
"You told me before my mother walked through that door, before you met my mother that the chandelier was going to fall, but on her" I angrily said to Silver. "Then, suddenly the chain breaks and the chandelier was falling, only it didn't. Your hands… they were glowing the same strange glow that the chandelier had when it broke. How did you do that? Oh man, I'm so confused." My head was spinning its gears, trying to make sense of this.
Silver's gaze turned to the floor, "Oh, that." He said. "You see, that strange glowing thing you saw was me using telekinesis. It's where you lift things with your mind." Silver's gaze returned to my confused, emerald eyes. He rubbed the back of his head in nervousness.
"You can lift things with your mind?" I wanted to laugh and say 'Good one' but my brain was telling me that was the only explanation.
"And as for knowing about your mother before I met her and the chandelier falling before it did… I can see the future." Silver said, even more nervous.
Now I just wanted this to be a nightmare and hopefully, I'll wake up soon. Maybe I fell asleep will studying with Silver. I looked around the room and saw my history book. I grabbed it and slapped myself in the face with it. Nope, still very much awake and now in mondo pain. I thought.
Silver looked at me like I was going crazy. (Can you blame him? I thought that too).
For 30 minutes we sat in awkward silence until my family came back from their chore. Silver stood up.
"I'm going home." He said, his face expressionless.
"Okay…" Before my mom could finish what she had to say, Silver rushed out the door, grabbing his backpack and supplies along the way. "What was that all about?" My mother asked me.
Wow! Awkward! Wait to go Silver! Why don't you just tell Sonic it's the end of the world? LOL Hope you enjoyed this chapter ;)
