Crusader: Champion of the Dark One

Chapter 4

Ms. Amelia stared at Jason in shock as he turned about to leave, she immediately shouted out after him

“You’re expelled Jason, expelled!!!

But Jason didn’t turn back as he continued walking forward but if he’d turned back to look he would have seen a hint of guilt in Ms. Amelia’s eyes.

He walked out of the office, head held high and with a calm look on his face, he grabbed his bag off the secretary’s desk and stared into her eyes which were filled with shock before leaving, she must have heard everything that transpired in the office. The secretary felt a shiver run through her when she stared into those eyes of his. As Jason walked down the hallway he saw Alex and the gang along with Jessica staring at him with a smug look on their faces, other students were whispering as he walked, he wondered how the news of his expulsion traveled so far. He walked toward the exit but stopped and turned toward Alex and stared in a cold whisper barely above a whisper

“One day I’ll be back and I’ll make you forget this day, all of you even if I have to sell my soul to the devil  I’ll pay you back in full”, he swept his gaze across all of them resting it on Jessica as she looked down, he turned to leave but Jessica shouted after him much to the displeasure of Alex

“Wait_”

”I hope you are happy I understand now the difference between you and I so no need to pretend to be sorry the games over and I’m happy for you, the two of you deserve each other” Jason said and laughed as he left, a laugh that sounded hollow without any mirth that made all those who heard it feel a chill down their spine even though most won’t admit it.

Jason got home and unlocked the door walking into the house, he went to the kitchen and had a drink of water while thinking about the events of the day, the strange voice in his head, the eerie calm, and coldness he felt but when he thought about how he got expelled and how he’d lost his temper like that he got confused cause he was sure that wasn’t something he’d normally do.

‘Isn’t this better, those people don’t respect nor want you there so why bother allowing them to walk over you like that, with your intelligence any school will be glad to have you’.

[Yes I did nothing wrong, I’ve taken their bullshit enough]

‘Now sleep and in the morning everything will be just fine, then we’ll talk about how to help you get revenge’

Jason went to his room, fell on his bed, and went to sleep as a voice whispered gently.

‘Don’t worry darling, you’re far better than these mortals and soon they shall all kneel to you’

*Bang* Jason woke up with a start to see as his father walked into his room

“What is the meaning of this Jason!”, his father yelled

“Oh dad you’re home, I thought you were gonna take at least 3 days”

That was the plan until I got a call saying that my son attacked the son of the multi-billionaire Mr. Owen over a girl and when he was punished flipped off the principal and got himself expelled!!!, Jason’s father was seriously pissed but oddly Jason felt that chill behind his eyes again and felt only calm as his father went on a tirade about what this would do with his career, and reputation. He answered in a calm almost cold voice

“I didn’t do anything” while staring him in the eye. Now, his father was quite unsettled by this as Jason never looked him in the eye, and that oddly calm voice of his sent a chill down his spine

“I don’t care what you did or didn’t do you will go back to that school tomorrow and apologize publicly to his son and the headmistress, I’ve spoken to his father he says if you do this he will help you with the whole expulsion thing

No, I’m never going back to that place and I’d rather die than apologize to Alex

Enough, so what if you got bullied a little take it like a man do you know what completing that school will do for me this is my ticket back to the upper class, I have too much riding on this for you to ruin this for me

‘Now what will you do boy’

[Who are you, you’re not that other voice], thought Jason as this voice sounded older and held authority as if he was speaking with a King, it made him want to kneel from just hearing it

‘You’re right I’m not and that other voice would be my daughter’

[And what do you and your daughter want from me]

‘That depends on your choice, you see I have a proposition for you, my daughter thinks you will be up to the task but I highly doubt it but I will give you a chance depending on what you do in this decisive moment, so choose, impress me boy’

“Are you even listening to me Jason” his father said

“Yes father and I refuse I am sick and tired of you using my life to try to further your goals, this is my life and I’ll live it how I want so the answer is ‘No’ I’m not going back to that place” Jason said coldly as the coldness inside his eyes increased

“Not under my roof for as long as you live under my roof you do as I say”, his father said angrily as his face was so red it almost look purple

“Then I’ll leave” Jason said as he turned to walk up the stairs to pack his bags. His father felt so insulted that he just lost it as he took hold of his shoulder turned him around and lifted up his hand to slap him, but just as his palm was about to hit him Jason held unto his wrist effectively stopping him before it hit him. He stared into his fathers eyes as he looked as if he’d just seen a ghost

“Make no mistake you don’t own me anymore, and the next time you try to hit me, you might just lose this hand of yours remember I’m not a child anymore” Jason said as he turned and walked back upstairs

His father walked down the stairs with and ashen face, he poured himself some whiskey as he sat down trying to convince himself what he saw was just and illusion and that the light was playing tricks on his eyes but he couldn’t get out of his head how Jason got the strength to catch his hand with one arm and that too just as he was about to hit him plus looking at the bruise on his wrist that strength and speed was not ordinary but what shocked him most was his eyes, because in that moment when Jason caught his hand the sclera of his eye turned completely black and the green irises were glowing brightly
