“Where’s Abraham?” Was Lyon’s question as soon as he entered but with the way Chelsey sighed, he could tell that even she hadn’t seen Abraham that morning.“I tried calling him out of his room but the farthest I could get him to go was to the door and long enough for him to tell me to leave him alone.” She responded.Lyon looked behind him but Asher doesn’t seem to have come in yet and judging from the insane amount of hatred he could perceive from Asher.Lyon knew that whatever happened between them must have been serious but since he couldn’t perceive anything from Abraham, he could tell that the only person holding a grudge was Asher.Abraham only seemed to be matching his son’s energy and since Asher arrived last night, all Lyon could perceive from Abraham was sadness.His heart broke for them and even though he knew it was going to be really hard work, he wanted the both of them to make up as soon as possible.“I’m going to talk to him.” Lyon said firmly as he made for Abraham’s
That question caused everyone at the table to stop eating, Lyon never intended to open up old wounds but Asher didn’t look like he was going to let it go.“W— We don’t have to talk about it, you know?” He said wryly, trying his best to get the situation under control but it was out of hand already.“Actually, I want to talk about it,” Asher said, not batting an eyelash or looking away from his father who was doing everything he can to avoid eye contact.“What was my childhood like?” Asher directed the question at Abraham who cleared his throat and moved uncomfortably in his seat.“It was fine, we went picnicking and I made a house just like this one and—““Talk about another fond memory of me, you’re my father, you should have a lot of memories.” Asher probed with a side smile.Chelsey and Lyon were now starting to feel uncomfortable and Lyon hated himself for bringing up something like that.Of all the conversation starters he could think about, he had to bring up one about Asher’s c
Everyone tries to tell him how he’s supposed to act but no one is interested in knowing what he went through for years after losing his mother.That was Asher’s thoughts as he roamed deeper into the woods, he hated the fact that anytime anyone wanted to intervene, they’re always telling him to make up with his father.“Can he just get away with things just because he’s my father?” He asked himself, sobbing as tears streamed down his eyes.He clutched his chest tightly as he walked and it wasn’t until he got to a big oak tree that he finally stopped walking.“I’ve tried to forgive him for years but I don’t even want to see that face anymore!” He yelled at no one in particular.“I don’t have a mother now because he refused to come home when we needed him.” He cried, the tears falling inevitably and refusing to stop.Asher held his legs close to his chest as he placed his head on his knees while memories flooded him.The memories of his last moment with his mother has been haunting him s
“I apologize for Asher’s behavior.” Abraham said, bowing in front of Lyon who only smiled and shrugged it off.“You don’t have to apologize, it’s really fine and this is like the fifth time you’re apologizing.” Lyon responded with a smile that made Abraham smile too.They both got comfortable on the couch and for what seemed like minutes, neither of them was able to say anything.Abraham didn’t want to talk and Lyon wouldn’t stop being scared of saying something that would strike a chord and ruin the morning again.He was starting to doubt his ability to solve these kinds of problems, maybe it would be best if he stayed out of it like Chelsey had suggested but he couldn’t possibly do that.He doesn’t know about their relationship enough but Lyon knows that both Abraham and Asher love each other so much and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t ignore that fact.He wants them to get back together like father and son, he wants to see what their relationship would be like and a part of h
BACK AT HOME WHERE KELVIN AND ELEN ARE.Kelvin was breathing heavily and even though he had gotten stronger, he couldn’t believe that he couldn’t still keep up with Elen.“How are you not tired yet?” Kelvin asked breathlessly as he clutched his chest and tried to regulate his breathing.His relationship with Elen had gone so far that now both of them are comfortable with each other and in order for Kelvin to get stronger Elen had suggested that they both go out together.“Because I’ve been doing this since I learned to walk and talk,” Elen responded as she slashed the final beast, revealing its core.“Finish him off.” She ordered and Kelvin did as he was told. He wasn’t surprised when he felt his powers getting stronger and he felt as though he had gotten more powerful than when Lyon left the house.He only had Elen to thank for it because she never left the house for a mission without him and since Lyon had a protective veil over the house, beasts rarely came there.“We’re done for t
“Fuck.” Lyon groaned as the knife cut him and the blood that came out of his finger from that cut was an unusual amount.“That’s the second time you’ve cut yourself today, are you okay?” Chelsey asked as she rushed to Lyon with a napkin to cover his blood.“I’m fine,” he assured her but despite the fact that he was trying to be fine, there’s this nasty feeling in the pit of his stomach that makes him feel like something is terrible.He wanted to call Elen and Kelvin to pose the question but since arriving at this place, there had been no cell service so there was no way he could.He couldn’t possibly teleport too because that would be going against Abraham’s rules and he had made a promise to himself that as long as they are here then Abraham is the master.“I just really think something is wrong.” He explained to Chelsey who cleaned the blood off Lyon’s fingers only to see that he had completely healed.“You know, sometimes, I forget you don’t need medical attention,” Chelsey sighed
Three days had passed and Kelvin still hadn't woken up even though they had removed all the strange particles in his body.“Are you really sure he’s going to be okay?” Elen asked one of the organization's medical attendants who nodded positively.“He’s just an ordinary person and his body is weak against these kinds of attacks so he’s going to be fine, it’s just going to take a while.” She explained to Elen.“How long do you think it’s going to take him to fully recover?” Elen questioned but the attendant only shrugged.She has been trying her best to be strong and not worry too much but no matter how hard she tries, she ends up being even more worried.Kelvin was lying with his eyes closed and also in an obvious state of coma, it was hard to not worry about him.“Elen, I need to talk to you.” Akira’s voice jolted her out of her thoughts and she stood from Kelvin’s side to go with him.“Did you find out what kind of creature it was?” She questioned but Akira shook his head negatively
“What?!” She yelled before she could have a hold on herself, she couldn’t believe her eyes especially when she just spoke with the attendant and was told that it could take a while for him to wake up.“You look like you’ve seen a ghost, what’s going on?” Kelvin choked out, his body still felt numb and he couldn’t move.“You— y— How are you?” Elen stuttered, fumbling her words but making sure that she was still able to say something.“I’m not so fine,” Kelvin winced, “I’m having a bad headache and I can’t move my body.” He explained as Elen’s eyes widened.“Where am I and can you please dim the lights? I can barely see.” He said in a low tone and Elen did as he asked.“So, will you tell me what’s going on?” He asked and she shook her head, she still looked like she was petrified and could barely speak.“Just lay still, I’ll be back in a minute!” She shouted and before Kelvin could say anything, she was out of the ward room.Kelvin looked around and it didn’t take long for him to realiz
