Matthew and Susan finished their meals after everyone else had already left. They picked up the plates and put them in the sink to be washed. Susan and Matthew stood side by side at the sink, scrubbing and rinsing the dishes together.
Matthew was quicker and more efficient in doing his chore than Susan. “You know, we used to always do chores back in our house.” Susan started speaking.
“Excuse me, our house? When the hell did you live with me?” Matthew asked.
Susan chuckled. “Haha, we were in an.. Academy, I guess. You, me, Megat and a bunch more other kids. Our batches were divided into houses and we were in the same house.” Susan paused to put a plate on the rack. “As any school goes, they tend to make students do chores here and there. You would always volunteer and Megat and I would get dragged with you.”
“Oh, uhh sorry about that.”
<Metil was chatting with Azazel out in the open outside of the house just by the sidewalk. Matthew closed the front door behind him and walked over to them. Both of them noticed Matthew approaching and stopped their conversation.“Sorry, did I interrupt something?” Matthew apologised seeing that they turned their attention to him.“No, it’s fine. We were just talking about some random things.” Azazel said.“I was waiting for you actually, boss was just keeping me company.” Metil said.“Well, I suppose I should take my leave now. You two have fun.” Azazel reached up to pat Metil’s shoulder and left Matthew and Metil alone.“You too boss.” Metil said before Azazel went inside the house. Then he turned back to Matthew.Matthew had to tilt his head back a bit to look at Metil’s face. Mat
Rose woke up in a room. It was already bright outside as the white sunlight shone through the open window. She felt a slight pain in her head, probably from being hit earlier. She remembered everything.Judging from the time of day, at least an entire day had passed. This room was unfamiliar. The walls were made from wood while the furniture was very simple. The window showed the scenery outside. The area was surrounded by trees and there was also a faint sound of water flowing, a river perhaps.Rose did not know where she was but she knew she must get out of there. She got out of bed and checked herself. It seemed that she was unharmed. She reached for the door and opened it.To her surprise, there was someone already standing behind the door. The man also seemed surprised as well.“Oh, so you’re up-”“[Wind Blast]!”“Uwaa
“You will fight with him.” Loki said while pointing his index finger at Rose.Rose was stunned. It would take a long time to know what Loki meant, however, Rose was confused by the way he said it.“What do you mean?”“You will support him in the front lines, possibly directly against the Scarlett King if needed.”“But how?! Even so, I don’t want to do that. We’ll both be killed!” Rose shouted at him.Loki maintained his calm demeanour and explained to Rose. “Everything that happened has a meaning. A reason. Fate had decided for the two of you to come to this world. Coincidentally, the Scaletts also arose during this time. It is no coincidence, it is fate.”Rose was not one to believe in such things as fate. It was ridiculous to believe that fate had anything to do with it.
In Cecilia’s mansion, Yuki was leaning against a wall beside a door that led to Cecilia’s room. Her parents were inside, trying to cheer Cecilia up who was currently traumatised.Voices of her parents constantly trying to persuade their daughter could be heard. Yuki’s heart felt heavy hearing them.The door opened and the parents came out of the room looking worried.“How is she?” Yuki asked the parents.“She’s fine, thankfully. I believe she just needs more time to calm down more. It was her friend that caused her fear after all.” Gustav gave his explanation.Yuki sighed in relief. “I can understand that. Even from way out here, I was also shaking. Cecilia who was right there with him must’ve been petrified. The amount of power displayed could reach even the ends of the world.”Gustav and Emil
(Sorry for not updating for a while. Been busy with exams.)Chaos erupted that night as flames covered the building. People had their phones out to record this event, incapable of helping. Brave men in fire proof suits were rushing to get the fire under control.A little boy was crying while shaking two bodies lying lifeless on the burning floor. The bodies were battered, bruised and covered in blood. Despite the fire surrounding him getting closer, the boy did not care.Two firemen entered the house. They saw the boy and the two bodies beside him. They rushed over to rescue the boy however the ceiling collapsed before they could.…..Matthew opened his eyes. His body was covered in sweat and he was breathing heavily.He covered his eyes and slowly regulated his breathing to calm down.…..“Hey, ea
A past that no one except for Matthew knows.Five years ago.The delicious aroma from the stew that was being boiled on top of a stove filled the house. A woman with black hair and golden eyes stirred the contents of the pots while humming a simple tune. Her name was Rin.“Hmm~ Hm~ Hmm~”A pair of feet stepped into the kitchen. Rin noticed the presence and turned around.“What is it Matt?” She asked the boy with blonde hair and bright blue eyes.“What’s for dinner tonight?”“Oh, just some stew. Since you’re here, why don’t you go set up the table? And call your dad to come down as well.”“Roger that!” Matthew replied and went to the cabinet and retrieved some bowls.Rin smiled and returned to her cooking. She scooped out
Matthew laid on his side seemingly lifeless on the floor. His eyes and nose were red. He felt like all his strength had left him.How long has it been?After listening to Susan’s story, Matthew remembered everything now. The moments before his parents died by his hands, he remembered it clearly. He felt miserable and he hated himself.“I killed them. I lost control and killed them.”:It was not your fault: Draco suddenly spoke inside Matthew’s head.Matthew was surprised by Draco’s sudden appearance, but he couldn’t really express it.“Drake? No, I remember it now. You don’t have to comfort me.”:You seem to feel better now:“After crying for a while, I guess I’ve somewhat calmed down a bit.”:That’s good. Let me repeat,
Days have passed and the situation has somewhat calmed down a bit. Everyone had seemingly forgotten about the incident and went on with their normal daily lives in general. However, things were very different in certain parties.The Hunter Association was questioned many times about the demon. The executives that were questioned could not give a clear answer since only the president, vice president and the Five Coloured Hunters knew the whole truth.The Hunters under the association were also interviewed. Some claimed that they would have beaten the demon if they were there, some simply ignored the questions and some honestly tried to answer.Even the nobles and royalties could not escape this. It was only thanks to the line of knights that they were able to escape the paparazzi. The nobles had to attend many meetings to discuss further actions.Today also they held a meeting between the nobles of th
