After you're little outburst, you were sitting up against the wall catching your breath but wondering how the gun didn't go off. John said it himself, the gun was fully loaded. That's impossible. You start to look around at your now destroyed room and remembered why you were so angry. You start to breath heavily, grind your teeth, and make a fist. You hit the wall with your elbow. You were so pissed off at Joseph for everything's he's done to you. You wished he killed you himself instead of letting you live. You were honestly surprised he or John didn't. Hell, not even Jacob tried when John told him what you did. You know he would have done it with no hesitation if it weren't for Joseph and his stupid Prodigy nonsense. You were so angry with yourself that when the gun didn't go off, you started to actually believe Joseph's words and his prophecy from God himself. You were not meant to die by yours or anyone's hands. You were meant to save as much people as you can and become their Prodigy to give him hope. To give them love. To give them faith that Edens Gates will be something better than this hell we live in today. You wondered; what happens after the purpose is fulfilled? Will you still be protected? Will you live amongst everyone? Is this whole thing just one big sacrifice you'll have to make yourself? Your life for everyone else's? Could you make that... You start to hear whistling outside the door. A familiar tune you've heard recently that made your hair stand. It starts to get closer to your room as you start to get nervous

*CLICK*

You look up at the door as it opens. John walks in. He let out one loud whistle that drags on for a couple of seconds while staring at you. You knew he was up to something because once he stopped whistling, he starts humming the same tune while having this big smirk on his face. He didn't seem to care about the mess in your room since he was fixated on you and only you. You glare at him from his annoying cocky attitude. He uses his back to close the door behind him

*CLICK*

Once you hear the door lock, you quickly stood up, on guard. Something was going on. Something really bad. John takes a couple of steps towards you then stops. He also stopped humming

John: You're in for a special trip Protégé. The Father has asked me to do something "unthinkable". Something I thought he'd never let me do. Would you like to know what it is?

You shake your head. He let's out a sinister smirk

John: No? Don't you want to know what my brother wants me to do to you? Why he asked me to do this?

You glare at him. You didn't know what the hell he was talking about but you didn't believe his lies. Joseph telling him to do something to you. I mean why not right? You tried to KILL The Father and failed. Was it torture? A slow death? From the way John made it sound like, he was too excited about it. John walks over to you so you're face to face

John: I can tell you're trying to figure out what it is he wants me to do. Here, let me give you a demonstration

He grabs your face and kisses you roughly. You stood there in shock but then try to get him off. He pushes you more against the wall so you don't go anywhere, grabbing your hands and holding them down to the wall as well. He let's out soft moans as he continues. You interupt him by kicking him in the crotch with your knee. He let's go and falls back, letting out a groan. He grabs onto himself and starts to laugh. You take something out of your pocket and point it at him. He looks at it, it's small hand made knife. You've been working on it after what happened to your parents and The Marshal. John stands back up when the pain goes away

John: My, my. This is going to be more fun than I expected

He takes his knife out then starts to circle around you. You keep your eyes on him the whole time, nervous as hell but you weren't going to let him see that so you glare at him
