Adelita thought that the breakdown she witnessed in the past days was going to be a long consuming process, thinking about the teenager who had some anger management issues made her believe that he will be stuck in the dark side of grief forever, she even tried to adapt to an imaginary situation so that she won't give up on him when all the roads lead to his trauma.
Adelita tried to think excessively about the incident to find some solutions on his behalf, but it turned out that she never knew Isiah at all .
One day he just woke up and decided to move around as if nothing had happened to him, walking all carefully so that he won't bump into objects in his way, and touching everything to form an idea about the place he has been in.
To think more about it Isiah had never been in this house, so he didn't know how it looks from the inside and the outside .
That morning he greeted her with a quick, beautiful cute smile, asked for her help to guide him outside the house, and sat on the wooden chair she made years ago to enjoy the look of her small garden, his breathing was very calm as he kept listening to everything around him with patiency that she never thought he had.
That day Adelita was shocked by his change of heart, she even thought that he was pretending to be calm just to run away at the right moment.
Adelita even told him her doubts, but all she got from him was a smile and complete ignorance.
He welcomed her hospitality and thanked her for it. Isiah even said that he was grateful that she was the one who helped him the day the incident happened.
What she kept seeing was a little boy who didn't know how to be sad, his actions were studied and that transition was a coping mechanism to ignore the pain he was feeling.
She couldn't take it anymore and that's why, after two days of going with it she just yelled at him at the dinner table to put an end to that play.
His teacher cooked him a healthy meal to boost his body recovery, and eased his pain for more than a week, he was still in a state where he needed help daily but at least with her mediocre abilities of healing he can walk now and move normally
"I was waiting for you to be in a good mental state to introduce you to one of my friends for help, but ..I don't think that you are in a good state right now ".
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm " I am recovering slowly, but still it is progress "He added a smile to his words.
" Stop it ….i have been wanting to tell you this in the past two days…you are being creepy …this isn't you!"She was yelling at this point.
" What are you talking about? I am fine , I just need to do something about my eyes …that's it ".
" Well, this isn't exactly how you should react …Isiah ".
" I didn't know that there was a catalog that I should follow !"He replied sarcastically.
" A catalog ! What's that?".
" Don't mind me…just bring the person that you wanted to seek his help".
Isiah finished eating and then went outside and sat out there alone in her garden feeling fresh air upon his skin, he kept thinking about the next step.
He needed to move forward no matter what, he couldn't learn magic when he was blind like this, but whining about it won't get him anywhere either.
Isiah tried to adapt to his new state but it was very difficult, his senses weren't that sharp even after years of hunting around with his dad since he was a kid.
He kept moving and falling around, he sought help most of the time and tried to be cool about it just to escape the grief phase, he never grieved in his life about anything
.
And that started exactly when his auntie Rosa died, his parents acted as if nothing happened for the following days.
Little Isiah asked them whether he was going to see her again, but both of them told him that this wasn't going to happen, however, they didn't look very sad about it .
Nothing changed, the trips, the dinners, and the cult's events continued to happen and the worst part was that people kept asking about their feelings and how they were dealing with their loss thinking that they were truly devastated by her death .
He didn't know how to react after her death, he was six, and he missed her presence in his life terribly because she was the only one that treated him right.
In the beginning, he held her picture whenever he wanted to sleep, he didn't know why he was doing that at the time, but now he knows that he was hurt by her death.
" What are you thinking about it this late!"Adelita put her hand on his shoulder and then sat next to him.
"I want to ascend….no…I need to ascend ….i can't survive in this place".
" You can't survive in any place, and you already know that your parent's choice will keep you here your whole life, Don't think that it is necessarily a bad thing…you just need to adapt and think about the bright side ".
Isiah smirked then replied:" Isn't this a bit silly, talking about the bright side to a blind man".
" I am sorry…I….I"
" Why are you helping me Adelita? "
" Because you are my student".
" I don't think that this is the reason for helping me …after all, I am Lucas's brother… you want to keep the reason hidden from me..but …you should know that you can't hide it forever".
The past days were so tough on Isiah, he managed to control himself and everything around him, controlling his thoughts in the chaos was basically the first step to controlling his entire existence.
