The Celestial General

Chapter 09

Charles's - [P.O.V]

I couldn't stop My feet at all, even so My energy was low but I soon stopped.

I had reached our house which was almost burnt to nothing, shocked at the sight, I didn't know how to take it at all.

I felt dead already inside.

My mother is dead... I couldn't help her, these people were far smarter than some wars I faced, the worst part is they aren't even coming out to fight one on One.

My brother Drian is dead too... I couldn't save him.

Our house has been burnt down to the ground.

"What else am I doing in this world?" I asked myself.

There's no one that I can love or that would love me.

"My life is now finished in reality." I said to myself.

It began to rain and I fell to my knees.

I looked at the sky in return to see God.

How could he exist and let me suffer this much?

"Why?" I asked him as I looked over the ground to see a short knife which I picked up.

"Why did you bring me to this world to suffer?" I asked.

"Eh!?" I cried to him.

"I am tired of this world, let me end my life too!" I screamed to the raining sky before I sent the knife to my heart.

But then lightning strikes around me.

I feared that I could be lightning stroked as I shouted gulping air, before I threw the knife away.

"I have no body!" I shouted in pain, noticing how weak I was and seeing how my body vibrated with high fever as it rained on me.

"You have to be strong, my son." I recalled my mother's last words as I got up, staggering far away from home while thinking.

I was unable to control my own footsteps as I entered the main road mistakenly.

"Ah - a headache." I held my head.

I couldn't stand firmly and I fell to the ground.

Blanked out in darkness.

I tried to open my eyes.

"Where was he found?" I heard a strong female voice ask someone else.

"He was found almost dead on a main road Ma, before he was rushed to the hospital by me." A man replied to her question.

"And doctor, are you sure that he is my son?" The same strong female voice asked.

"Yes ma, we did over five blood tests on him and it matches that of your missing son, he is your flesh and blood." Another male said as I heard footsteps approaching me.

My eyes finally cleared, staring at them.

I could see a motherly looking hot woman in a red suit with her hair held in the air and a gold plated hair clipper over it.

She was looking back at me so intensely with a doctor in white staring right into my eyes as well.

"Why am I here?" I asked.

"I can't believe it, my son is alive." She said as I struggled to get up from the bed wondering what they were talking about.

"He is awake now." The doctor added.

"You, you saved me." I said to another man standing by the doctor's side, who was dressed in black, remembering that he picked me up when I had fainted earlier at the main road.

Then the lady walked towards me, dipping her hand into my chest, so carelessly.

"Excuse me!" I said annoyed as I grabbed the woman's hand as she raised my necklace out from my chest in Return.

"Oh my god, he is my son." She said as tears filled her eyes instantly.

"Charles." She calls the name written over the necklace in tears as she looks into my eyes.

"Yeah... Who are you?" I asked back.

"I'm your mother." She said, causing me to feel lost for a moment there.

My mother?

"No, you aren't, my mother is dead." I said to her.

"No Charles, I'm alive, can't you remember me?" She said cupping my face in her hand and I got a huge painful flash striking through my brain.

It felt like my brain wanted to explode.

"My head." I said placing my hand over it.

"I can't breathe." I noticed my body was choking for air, as I tried to inhale and exhale.

I felt my head hit back against the patient beds pillow as I began to convulse with different memories rushing through me like electricity.

"Doctor help, my son cannot die." My mother immediately holds me to herself as she begins to scream for the doctor's help.

"If I lose my son again! I swear to God that I will close down all your hospitals!" She threatens as her tears fall over my head while my body begins to shake the patient's bed uncontrollably.

I managed to open my eyes to see my mother.

"Please, let me have him." The doctor said tearing my shirt off before carrying a huge needle to me.

My eyes opened in shock.

"No, Jeez!" I fought back before the doctor managed to penetrate my skin with the needle.

And I immediately recovered.

"I remember mum, I remember everything." I said as a tear rolled out of my eyes.

"Thank goodness!" She hugged me.

"And for you... You saved my son, here you go." She said giving the man that had brought me to the hospital a box full of dollars.

"Oh my god, this should be up to a million dollars, how can I thank you." The man said going on his knees immediately with the doctor standing by his side intrigued as well.

Did she just give the man a million dollars?

I wondered how rich my mum was.

"You have done enough already for me." She said and the man bowed, thanking her before he immediately left.

"This hospital isn't even in a safe location, but tell me son, how did it happen?" She asked me.

"Before the attack, dad warned me about how I interact with the rest of the family members. He asked me to be strict with all of them and that he someday wanted me to become president." I said, recalling his voice in my head.
