Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]-Chapter 248: Test

Jules’ pov

I touched Elio’s cheek, feeling guilt swamp up my chest as I took in his pale, unconscious appearance. I was extremely thankful that he didn’t end up dying, because if that happened, I really wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself.

Elio had been operated on a few times since last night and now he’s currently in a coma. The doctors said he was hanging on fine and should be up before the end of the week.

I wondered if we should contact his family members or not. Blaze advised against that, claiming his family members believed he was currently in school and that it was best they don’t start worrying for him unnecessarily.

I stared at him for a moment longer before moving away from his bed and shoving my hands deep into the povkeys of the large hoodie I currently had on. Kim was the one who provided me with these clothes; he and Roy went to do a little shopping this morning.

On remembering that my powers really are unlocked, I felt a smile stretch across my face. I really couldn’t believe that this was my new reality. When Kim saw me this morning, he could instantly detect the change in my scent, and I wondered how I’d return back to school this way with me smelling strongly of magic.

When I stepped out of the room, Kim was waiting for me and we soon fell into steps beside each other. A few guards were accompanying us, assigned by Blaze to accompany me to the hospital this afternoon because he claimed my life is undoubtedly gonna be in more danger on moving forward.

"Thank you so much for saving my life. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, I never did, but I want you to know that I genuinely regretted all of this and if I get the chance, I’d take it all back in an instant." As he spoke, the sincerity was starkly painted across his face and I felt my chest squeezed tightly, I didn’t know what it was about him that just left my heart feeling heavy and aching.

"Of course. I couldht let you die no matter what, and I do forgive you. Everyone deserves forgiveness." I responded and within my mind, I said, ’except the murderers of my entire family’.

"So, now... new powers, huh?" He hedged after a few minutes, waggling his brows a little. He went on to remind me that he once questioned me of what I really was and how after looking into me, the results came out empty.

"It’s actually a long story," I mumbled as we stepped out of the hospital. Blaze had assured me Kim wouldn’t tell a soul about what he witnessed yesterday back at the garden, and now that he was more involved with us, I guess it doesn’t hurt for me to tell him the truth, or some of it at least.

"I have time." He informed me as we got into the car and I chuckled underneath my throat.

~~~

"We’re being followed." Kim mumbled beside me just as the thought settled in my mind. We were both staring out the back of the car at the two bikes which had been driving behind us for over an hour. I let out a sigh as I turned back around and slumped against the car seat.

Blaze hadn’t wanted me to leave for the hospital Elio was in. He had told me it was dangerous considering I just got access to my powers again. I should have listened to him, the only reason he let me come was because he knew I was extremely ridden with guilt. He’d have even come with me if he hadn’t been busy with something else which he was planning out with Roy.

The partition of the car was up since the moment I began to explain a bit of myself to Kim, which was why Kim didn’t bother to keep his voice down when he spoke next.

"How about you use your powers to take care of those two punks?" He questioned, referring to the two men still tailing us with motorcycles.

I let out a scoff. "Are you insane? I don’t know how to control it yet."

He shook his head and arched a brow. "I watched you kill a man yesterday." He pointed out and I bit on my bottom lip at that reminder.

"That- that was different, i wasn’t the one in control at that moment, it had been a completely different part of me. I can’t access that part of me, I don’t even know if that part is still inside of me or if it had only been the rage behind that outburst at the garden." I admitted with a small shrug.

I had tried not to think about that, Blaze had also urged me to let everything flow and that he believed that was a part of me which I wasn’t familiar with, and that in due time, I was gonna become familiar with it.

Kim didn’t say anything else, he only asked me if I was gonna call Blaze next. I instantly nodded and whipped out my phone, but as my finger hovered over the phone, I found myself silently wondering if this was how I was gonna protect Blaze with how I could barely protect myself. This morning, I had told him I’d like to protect him as well, surely for me to ever be able to protect him, I’d have to actually not be a scaredy cat any longer.

I let out a sigh as I dropped my phone and then I looked out the car once again.

"You aren’t calling him?" Kim asked after a few moments and I nodded my head firmly.

"I want to try taking care of this myself." I informed him and when I glanced at him, an impressed grin was across his face.

"That’s the spirit!"

~~~

I ended up fucking up.

And I also ended up letting the people tailing us that my powers were no longer locked away, which was a very bad thing, said Blaze as soon as he arrived at the scene, because I did end up calling him after everything went wrong.

Because I didn’t really know what to actually do, and because I didn’t want to cause an accident and put innocent people’s lives in danger, I ended up asking the driver to keep up going around in circles, and then when we were not beside any vehicles, I summoned my magic and trapped them in magical bubbles. They had been so shocked and hadn’t seen it coming, and that made me feel so pleased and accomplished.

But only for a moment, because after Kim asked me if the magical trap was a good idea since my powers are supposed to still be a secret, I realized my mistake and instantly dissolved the magic. After that, the men tailing us turned around and began to flee from us, to definitely take news back that I could now use magic.

I had cursed myself out over and over again as I asked the driver to begin chasing the two motorcycles. One of the two riders ended up fleeing successfully but I ended up catching the second one by conjuring a magic that made him and hod bike glue to the ground. That was a part of the little tricks I was able to do even before my magic got locked away. I couldn’t do more than the basic types of magic, which was why I really needed a teacher. If I had thought harder, I’d have used this trick from the onset instead of the magical bubbles trap.

I called Blaze after that and didn’t relax until he arrived. He ended up taking care of the guy and ordered the driver to take Kim and I back to the mansion we stayed the night at.

I was anxious till he returned. He revealed that the guy ended up spilling some information, but he didn’t think it was important because apparently they weren’t sent by his father like we had both assumed. He explained that the guy claimed he was sent by someone whose face he was always covered with a cape.

When I began to beat myself up for fucking up, Blaze calmed me down and assured me that it was gonna be alright, but I still felt extremely stupid.

"I just wanted to take care of myself for once and not stress you out." I revealed and he sighed before going ahead to remind me that he never found that disturbing or annoying and that I should be kind to myself and to give myself the time to grow, going ahead to explain to me that no sane person would expect me to suddenly be able to control my powers or do extraordinary things and he ended everything with reminding me to be patient and to remember that I’m not gonna become a pro overnight.
