‘Let him live. We can get the information from him when he gets older. After all, parents give birth to children with the same genes.’Perseus felt a numbness in his throat as the man's voice rang in his head all over and over again. The voice looked scary, and he remembered that mask the man was wearing perfectly. [Do you think you could stand a chance against him if you meet him today?][What if he comes after you? Would you survive it?]Iris was making sense, and Perseus wanted to ask more questions when he felt an arm on his shoulder. “Are you alright?” Sherry asked. “You have been zoning out on everyone since the serial killers were mentioned.”Perseus got out of his trance and found everyone staring at him. “I'm fine.” He told Sherry. “Fine? Have you been daydreaming about you-know-what that you didn't listen to our discussion?” Sierra snapped. “I would rather daydream than look at you.” Perseus retorted.Sierra's fist tightened, and she was about to yell at him when Zeppe
Perseus knew what was coming. "Iris, calm down.”[Not until you get punished.]The electric current hit him, and it was worse than any other one he had received. He held on to the nearest wall to regain his footing.“That's unfair; I only asked a question.”[Don't ask that anymore!]Perseus felt like crying. “Sure, yes, I wouldn't ask anything like that anymore.”[Good.]After a few minutes, Perseus was back to walking again. He was getting tired since he didn't seem to notice the stalker. “I'm heading back.” He mumbled. “I guess he could see through me.” It suddenly hit him that Timtat was going around watching him. He should have met the stalker; he wondered if Timtat did. Perseus turned around and began heading back. As soon as he was out of sight, a man wearing a hat got out of his hiding spot. “He is getting suspicious.” The man said it on the phone. “I guess he knows about me now.”“Stay away from him for some time." The person at the other end ordered. “After a week or two,
Perseus glanced back at the empty road as he headed for school. Eris and Sherry took the car, and he wanted to get the stalker. [Do you think he would show up?]“We have to try,” Perseus replied. Iris was on his shoulder this time and was sitting comfortably. Perseus watched the environment, and by the time they got to school, he found no one.“I guess I was overreacting,” Perseus muttered. “My stalker might have heard Zeppelin and me yesterday.” [Perhaps he stopped for you to forget about it.]“I guess so too.” Perseus sighed. He was having Mr. Kross's class, and he knew the man was going to stir up trouble for him. After he had blurted Ms. Twinia's secret out, he hadn't bumped into Professor Kayden Kross.He walked into the class with his hand tugging at his pocket. Mr. Kross was already there, and when he saw Perseus, he frowned. “If it isn't the student who spilled his teacher's secret to everyone in class,” Kayden said, Wish a grin. Perseus grinned back. “Good morning, prof
“What were you laughing at?” Perseus asked as he and Zeppelin walked out of the school to the cafeteria. Zeppelin had suggested that they head there since they were both kicked out of class. “It was nothing.” Zeppelin avoided the question. “Your nothing threw me out of class,” Perseus stated. “Aren't you going to tell me what you were laughing at?”Iris was floating above Perseus, her gaze focused on the path ahead. Like, Zeppelin wasn't even there. “Well, I daydreamed a little and forgot that I was in class. It was just a memory of a funny time of my life.” Zeppelin was lying, and Perseus knew it, but since Iris couldn't analyze him, he couldn't get the answer himself.“And I think Mr. Kross kicked us out of class because he has a grudge against you and not me.” Zeppelin presumed.Perseus frowned. “But it was your laughter that gave him that chance, not mine.”Zeppelin was quiet, and they both got to that cafeteria. Zeppelin ordered their food and waited; he invited Perseus, who
Perseus grabbed Lexi, pulling her and grabbing the knife with his hands. Since the person was an expert, the knife cut through Perseus' palm. “Argh!” Perseus groaned as he tossed the knife to the side. Lexi was staring at him wide-eyed as he peered down at her. “Are you alright?” Perseus inquired. She managed to nod her head, and her gaze landed on his hand. “You are bleeding!” Lexi panicked. She reached out for his hand, but he shoved her behind him and shielded her with his body. [Detecting an injury to the host body.][Healing ability has been activated.][Stopping the bleeding in a few minutes.]“Tsk! I didn't know the officer was going to be her too.” A female wearing a mask said.Another male appeared next to her; he also had his face covered. “Let's do what we are here for; don't pay attention to him. Kill them, and let's leave.” The woman nodded. “Sure.” They looked like the leaders.[They are killers and leaders.] Iris informed him. [Killers that were paid.]“Am I a
Lexi's muscles tensed as she prepared to defend herself. "I'm not going to let you hurt anyone else.” By this time, Lexi was done with the others and was left with the female leader. Her voice was steady and resolute. "I don't care what your reasons are or what you're after. I'm going to stop you, no matter what it takes." The woman laughed, her eyes flashing dangerously. "You're too naive, little girl. Do you think you can stand up to someone like me? You're nothing but a child, playing at being a hero." Lexi's fists clenched, her knuckles turning white. "I'm not naive, and I'm not a child. I've seen things you can't even imagine, and I know what it takes to protect the people I care about.” The lady dropped her dagger and raised her fist. “Let’s drop the blades, would you? Fists look better if you want to go against me.”. Lexi's hand tightened on the knife before she let it go. “Fine.” A grin spread across the woman's face. “Let's get it done.” Perseus, on the other hand, w
“I'm so sorry.” Lexi apologized for the seventh time as she wrapped a piece of clothing she had gotten from her shirt around his palm. Timtat said nothing but just let her do what she wanted with his palm. Perseus pulled off his jacket and placed it on Lexi's shoulder. He glanced at her and found a guilty expression on her face. She raised her head toward him. “I'm sorry for injuring him.” Perseus raised his hand and stroked her head. Lexi was a redhead, and he got that feeling from her hair that he hadn't gotten from anyone else. Her hair felt like he was stroking a cat. Her face turned red as she raised her hand and placed it on his. “If you keep on saying sorry, he is going to get sick of it. Besides, he seems to forgive you.” Lexi's eyes brightened. “You think so? He hadn't shown any reaction.” “He doesn't show any reaction.” Her green eyes had a shade of sadness in them. “He was like my brother too.” Perseus gave her a questioning look, but she was unwilling to s
Perseus was done tending to Lexi's injury and was returning the first aid box when Sherry peeked through that door. “What's it, Sherry?” Perseus asked. Lexi raised her head to look at Sherry, and as soon as their eyes met, Sherry beamed, but Lexi looked away. “I was wondering if our guest could eat something. I prepared something.” Sherry muttered. Perseus’ gaze shifted to Lexi. “Would you like to eat?” Lexi nodded vaguely, as if she had no other choice. [Ding!][Lexi's trust level is currently at 80%.][The mission will be completed if you can get the rest of the 20%.]Perseus peered at the panel, and the trust level added up real quick. He shifted the panel to see what else it had to say. [Another reward will be added if the host completes the mission as soon as possible.]Perseus liked the sound of that. As they made their way towards the dining room, Perseus pondered what he could get. The fight with the killers has shown him that he wasn't strong at all. He wondered what
