Hello guys ! Here is the new chapter. Thank you for reading this story and for the reviews ! I'm glad some of you tried to guess what sense Felix would lose. Here is the answer ! I hope you'll like it.
Disclaimer : I still own nothing.
Felix was listening to his new song when his mother and brother came home. It was just before dinner which meant he wouldn't have to cook thankfully. Both of them looked ecstatic. Felix smiled, it was another proof that his spell had worked. He loved to see his little brother so happy.
'Felix ! According to the doctor my legs are healing ! He said I would probably be able to move them again and maybe walk again with some muscle rehabilitation !'
'Really ?! That's amazing Oskie ! I'm so happy for you.'
'I can't wait. I never thought I would walk again !'
'The doctor said it was a miracle. That with the accident Oscar shouldn't be able to feel anything. Ever.' His mother added.
As she talked, Felix saw a spark of realisation in his brother's eyes. The boy stared at him in silence.
'I'm going to call your father, we need to celebrate these good news. I'll be right back.'
Just after she went outside to call, Oscar wheeled himself towards his brother.
'What did you do Felix ?' His voice was cold.
'Nothing, Oscar. You know that if I could have done something for you I would have already done it. Last time already taught me a lesson.' He lied smoothly.
'Oh. Sorry Felix. I just don't you to do something incredibly stupid like trying to sacrifice yourself for me again. You're way more important to me than being able to walk again, you know ?'
Felix flinched lightly. He had always known this but couldn't help himself. He knew it would hurt his brother if he realised what he had done but he felt he still had to do it.
'I know, Oskie. I know.'
Felix dreaded the moment he would lose that mysterious sense. Because from that day on, he would have to hide it perfectly. What would he do if that sense was hearing or sight ? He could simulate taste and smell but not hearing or sight. There was also the possibility that the mysterious sense was magic like a sixth sense. If that was the case, it would be easy to hide for a while and then say that he lost his power later.
For now, he just wanted to enjoy the moment with his family.
A week later, Oscar had made improvements. He now had feeling in all his legs. He couldn't move yet but he was definitely going there. All his family were behind him. Of course, it's always when all is well that something that something comes up and ruins everything.
Felix didn't realise it immediately but after a week he was completely sure of the sense he was losing.
It came progressively. At the beginning of the week, he felt like the volume of the sound was a bit low sometimes but he had naively thought he was just distracted and didn't paid attention. But now ? The sound was always lower than what it used to be. He was becoming deaf. If it evolved at this pace, he would be unable to hear anything in a few weeks. He would never hear his beloved music or the sound of Oscar's and Ellen's voices again. And that scared the hell out of him.
So what did you think ? Don't hesitate to leave a review !
