8 Chapter 7 - Clan Pervus

Chapter 7 - Clan Pervus

Early in the morning, the family was up at their usual training time with 3 more members. Micheal not only wanted to have a party he also wanted his reserves to learn two things.

Sara was shocked,

"So you're saying that not only is little Terra the theorized advanced thinking ability user, but he has already learned how to make us stronger."

Terra clarified,

"Mrs. Sara, Uncle and I both have found this. I believe if Uncle ever had the will to become stronger he could have found it on his own."

Anne reminded her nephew,

"But you gave him the will to become stronger. Without you, he would have never wanted to grow."

Anne was smiling gratefully as if Terra saved her life not just helped Micheal.

Terra smiled knowingly his aunty would not relent on this. But then when when dawn finally arrived he noticed the bags under her eyes.

"Aunty, are you ok? Was the bed not comfortable? You look so tired."

When Anne heard that the sweet smile turned hostile and she turned towards Micheal who also looked equally tired. Terra looks like he understood.

"I see"

Anne and Micheal stopped breathing.

Terra clarified,

" Uncle, did you snore too loud? Didn't you say yesterday that you will use the towels to make your head higher?"

Anne and Michael sighed. Anne then looked at Micheal in anger again, with a look that said explain to him now.

"Yah Terra we played so much yesterday I forgot to roll up the towels."

Terra grabbed his head like a troubled parent.

"Uncle you are not sleep alone anymore. Aunty if Uncle is not letting you sleep you can sleep in my room."

Micheal looked at Terra like a child that got his candy stolen. Anne laughs.

"See if you don't behave I will sleep with Terra."

Micheal puts his head down and says,

"My body is at your mercy."

Anne puts both hands on her mouth and became red. All the adults laugh. While Terra complained.

"Uncle in one night you can't sleep without Aunty, come on man, grow up."

It was not known how Terra very accurately attack Micheal without knowing his weakness, but this only amplified his damage.

Margarette brought everyone back to the topic.

"Now besides that, everyone today we will train you how to make your abilities stronger meaning more substance M. But no one is allowed to tell anyone else without Terra and Michael's approval. Any questions?"

"No sarge."

Everyone besides the two medics and the child quickly went back to the time they were in the military. The family accepted Clare as Anne's family. But Anne said this secret was too heavy to tell a child. Everyone agreed and continued their training. luckily Clare did not wake up until noon. She came out of the room grumpy and called for Terra.

Terra was training with Chole with his new sword which was the gift from his parents.

Clare was mad when he did not respond. After the spar was over he nearly fell over but Anne grabbed him. She growled at Chole like a mother bear protecting her cub.

"Do you need to be so rough he is 1 yesterday you know."

Chole shook his head and said,

"Anne this level is approved by Micheal and Margarette. And I agree my heart hurts doing this that is why all three of us take terms sparing with him. Now you as his aunty will join this rotation."

Anne immediately refused.

"No, I refused to harm my nephew."

Chole shocked his head,

"Look over there. Micheal and Margarette at some point stopped soaring and were watching over Terra while hitting their thighs in helplessness.

"Anne the more we push him the less the world can put him in danger."

Anne looked at the boy trying to calm his mother and uncle. With a big smile. She then recalled all the deaths in the war and realized that if those soldiers trained more during peacetime they might not have died.

She looked at Chole again and noted. She stood Terra up and started using her ability.

Anne, part of the Jackson family, held the family trademark fire ability, but her mutation was in healing. She has a soft warm heat that provides healing.

He was surprised all his soreness was gone but he felt much more hungry and tired. Anne herself felt a bit tired since a lot of her substance M was used.

She looked at Terra and said.

"I am sorry that I cannot train you but I will help you not be sore and heal you as much as I can."

Terra didn't know his whole family wanted to help him get stronger and was momentarily shocked at her promise. But Anne is his family now he will accept all her goodwill.

"Thank you so much, Aunty."

He hugged her. And she hugged him back. But clarified.

"But that doesn't mean you can force yourself just because you are not sore."

Terra turned his head as if he was caught doing something bad.

"TERRA!"

Terra looked at his little savior.

"Oh Clare you woke up let's have lunch. Right, Aunty?"

Anne replied,

"Yes, but you still need to promise me first."

For the first time, Terra saw his Aunty's serious face. He knew she would only worry further so he promise.

"Yes Aunty I promise"

Since Clare woke up training ended and everyone started eating lunch.

Anne said,

I think it's about time to send back Clare. And for us to go.

Everyone was stunned and then realized. Then realized it was time to go back home and their vacation ended. Micheal held Anne's hand and said.

"You not allowed to be out of my reach."

He said so seriously that 3 women gulped.

Anne realized her mistake and clarified.

"Neither will I let you leave my reach. This includes my new family and my friends too. I have been spoiled recently so I want everything now. I will take Clare back with the teleporters then take everyone to the academy."

The sad faces on every loosened into a smile they too never wanted to be away from their friends either.

Sara suddenly said,

"I don't need to pack I'll buy new clothes later. I never want to leave my friends."

Margarette supplemented,

"Then let us make a new oath. We shall no longer be friends. Friends come and go but we have gone through hell and back. Micheal even put his blood in all of us at this point. Hahaha. We now are one creed. We are one clan. We are one family. Creed is to keep our family safe. Our mission is to keep the world at peace. We are the PARVUS!!!"

"Parvus!!!"

This time when Margarette spoke the whole family screamed in perfect unity. Clare was the only one that got scared by the screams and had to be calmed down. She was told it was a game. Then she too said,

"Parvus."

In her sweet little voice making everyone smile. But then she looked at everyone's faces and stopped at Terra and started crying. It was time to say goodbye.

Terra spoke up before the first tear dropped.

"Don't worry you said we are family right so you can come visit at anytime. We will be with Aunty at the Academy and you will have to go to school there eventually right? We have no choice but to be together then."

Clare tearfully nods her head. And asked for a hug. Terra hugs her. Then she walks towards Anne showing her agreement to leave. Anne then reminds her family.

"Ok, guys I will be back soon with three teleporters get everything that you want to take in a box. But if it's too big and you want it I will try to see what I can do."

Micheal asked what he thought was important.

"Wait Anne where will we live after we teleport."

Anne replied as if it was simple.

"Of course the principal's mansion. It was made for the families of the principal and you are my family."

Micheal who has lived at the Academy City. Was shocked.

"Wait if there is a mansion why did you stay at the teacher's dorm next to me?"

"Ugh"

Everyone in the Parvus clan were getting tired of this blackhole-level dense man. Terra couldn't help but grab the collar of the blackhole.

"Uncle, because she loves you. Wow, you're such an idiot. I cannot believe it."

Anne sighed

"Thank you, Terra. Yes Mr. Blackhole, I have always loved you. I wanted to be close to you, so if you need anything, I could help. Besides you can't cook and you refused to clean. So I always did for you. Don't you remember?"

Micheal refused to respond,

"If I repeat what you told me why you wanted to help. I think Terra and will Margarette will beat me to an inch of my life."

Anne knew this perfectly this is why she brought it up. But she was a good woman. She saved this last amount of dignity for her man. But her family was not dumb.

Margarette grabbed her eyebrows and destroyed the couple's plan.

"She probably said she likes cooking and cleaning and he said oh go ahead then."

Terra grabbed Margarette's sword.

"Uncle I am sorry I think you need to be punished."

Anne looked shocked how did they know her so well after just one day? Honestly, no one has ever paid so close attention to her in her life this is why she was shocked. But her new family was very attentive. And her straightforward personality was easy to predict. Meanwhile, Terra was still chasing Micheal.

Anne and Clare left for the teleport station. Teleporters were people with the ability to teleport individuals and objects. Since horse carriages would take a great amount of time to travel such large distances there was a station at every city. While walking to the station Anne looks down at the sad little Clare and tries to cheer her up.

"Did you have fun this time?"

Hearing the question Clare immediately brightened up and nodded and said,

" Yes I loved it, I love Terra, Margarette, Chloe, and the new Uncle too. They were very nice, not like the people at home. All they want me to do is train. I never got to play like that before.

Anne's heart bled for the child; she too remembers that the house only cared about the results, not the method by which it was acquired. She spent many days training mindlessly without a single respite. She couldn't help but compare her new family. They too loved to train. But not only did they have the right method of training they trained together like a family activity. They had fun doing it and everyone bonded through it. Her family only had one thought: keep using your power until you can't move. This they would drill into all the descends' heads. And the more prominent ones like herself and little Clare would be brainwashed into thinking it was their privilege to lead humanity through the Jackson family. She honestly does not wish to take Clare back. She doesn't know when this little bird would see the blue sky again but she couldn't take away the heir to the Jackson throne.

Anne stops and looks at Clare with a serious expression.

"Clare if anytime you feel that it is too hard. You let me or any of our friends know. No matter what happens we will come take you away. Do you understand?"

Clare laughs and nods. When they get to the teleporter building they spot an entourage of Jackson members. Their self-righteous attitude could be seen every they go. They believed themselves the saviors of humanity and could change their minds about it. Anne felt a headache just speaking to them. She felt a pull on her sleeve. Little Clare was calling for a hug.

"I know Aunty hates the family. But you love me, thank you so much. I will say bye to Aunty here. Bye-bye."

The hug was tight and both parties were reluctant to let go. But they eventually did let go. Clare walked to her family members while they bowed to her. She put her head down and held the hand of the maid that was among the warriors. At the same time, Anne walked in the opposite direction small tears could be seen from wherever the two aunts and niece went

Anne returned home with three teleporters behind her. When she saw her family was already packed she started crying again. Micheal was waiting for her and when he saw her cry he ran up and hugged her.

The teleporters and the rest of clan Pervus moved all their valuables while the husband comforted his wife. After a long while, Anne calmed down.

"You know if it wasn't for the war I would have been stuck in the house with the same pattern every day. First, you trained in solitude until you can't move then study your assigned field. They treated us not as people but as objects to be used at optimal times. This is why family members are not allowed to leave the main house unless assigned a mission. You know before my sister became the head she was a kind woman and would often sneak me candies that her fiance at the time hid and brought her. Since their marriage was for the betterment of the clan they were allowed to spend time together and he was a kind man who gave her chocolates every time he met her. Of course, it was a hidden secret that only my sister and I knew about. But all changed when I left for the academy. She became so cold to me and everyone around her. I was hoping to take Clare out to prevent that from happening to her, but seeing the head maid's expression I don't know if the next time we see Clare, she will be the same. You know… maybe I shouldn't have brought her back to them. You know…"

Every time Anne said 'You know' her heartache intensified and it stabbed at Micheal's chest as well and he would unconsciously tighten his embrace of her. Anne could not finish her words. So Micheal did it for her.

"Maybe we should free her from them."

Anne looked up with shock. Was she even allowed to think that she questioned? Micheal spoke in a loud voice.

Micheal nodded at his family. Then he looked at his wife.

"You are a Pervus if you want to give a hand to someone we will never stop you. Did you forget our creed: keep our family safe? That means regardless of what happens. "

Anne noted and said,

"Then we will wait until she comes to the academy. And we will convince her to stay with us at that time."
