John's POV

What is she doing here?

This is weird.

But I can think of only one possibility of why she's here.

She probably came here to check if they progressed with the issue of her ability.

But whatever, this doesn't mean that I'm going to talk to her.

Instead, I'll just head home.

I visited my dad earlier, and it didn't look that this affected him a lot, mentally speaking.

He's the type of person that puts a good face against bad situations, and I'm honestly relieved by this fact.

But I still think that it would have been better if he just told me anything about his attackers.

If they were able to pinpoint him so precisely...

Demonstrates what they're capable of.

And if I want to destroy them, I can't underestimate them.

Then, when I was thinking about some measures, Seraphina suddenly walks closer to me.

But I hope that-

- "John!" Said Seraphina, who gets closer when she noticed me.

Oh... great.

Give me a f*cking break.

- "What do you want?" I coldly asked.

- "How is William?" She asked me.

- "So... you came over here just because of that?" I bluntly asked.

- "Well, yeah, I visited him yesterday, but he was unconscious at the time." She replied.

- "And those injuries are terrible... did he told you anything about his attackers?" She asked me.

- "No. He didn't." I coldly answered.

- "That's weird... I would assume that he said something to-" She managed to say before I interrupted her.

- "Not yet. But that is none of your business, it's mine, and I'm going to do something about it." I said with a cold tone, trying to cut up the conversation.

- "But how-" She managed to say before I interrupted her.

- "Instead, you should try to enjoy your current lifestyle, because "living in the edge it's so fun!"  I said sarcastically, remembering what she said time ago.

- "If that's everything, then I'll head-" I managed to say before getting interrupted.

- "I don't get you sometimes..." Seraphina coldly said.

- "How can you say something like that?" She asked with an annoyed face.

- "And why are you so closed to talk?!" She said, while her face was losing all trace of her usual deadpan face.

I...

I'm getting so tired of this.

- "You know... I can bear a lot of things." I said.

- "Pain... Violence... Bullying... and for a lot of time, I just endured it, since I didn't want things to come out like this." I said with honesty.

- "But. There are two kinds of people that I hate the most. And doesn't matter who they are." I said annoyed.

- "People who dig out in my past... and people who betray my trust." I said.
