Hana

I made a new friend, Kira, who was Radian's sister and the only one who wasn't afraid of him.

Well she and her boyfriend James, who appeared to be Radian's childhood friend.

Radian just stared at me with an intense look. He spoke cold and short , we never had the possibility to have a proper conversation.

It looked like he was ignoring me.

My mom was weird, Robert was weirder.

It had been one week at that place, and things got weird and weirder.

It was the moment the bell rang, I didn't even know they had a bell. People ran everywhere shocked yelling 'Rogues , rogues! Run! "

" To the safe house follow me! " My mom ran with Richy on her arms, I tried to follow her with my fry pan in my hands, I was doing the dishes. I lost her in the crowd.

" I just washed it. " I sighed as they tripped me on the ground and I fell on my butt.

There was chaos , women dragging their children were running, between them some of the men.

Other women and men mixed were fighting with each other. They weren't entirely human. The person they called rogues when running were bigger in body and taller, they were like half beasts , with canines and yellow eyes.

Yellow eyes. My breath stuck in my lungs.

The beast! The beast who pulled my fathers heart from his body while still alive was real. Only that it wasn't one, they were many.

I saw Robert running towards one of them and the beast threw Robert on the ground.

I couldn't allow it to happen to Robert the same thing it did to my dad.

My body reacted on his own. I rushed forward to his direction standing in front of the beast.

Behind me stood Robert on the ground who screamed : "Hana no! Go away, run! "

The beast was so much bigger compared to my small body.

I held my fry pan as a weapon preparing to kick the beast with it.

My body was trembling, my eyes fogged from the tears , I was sobbing but I wasn't moving .

Images of what happened to my dad, I couldn't stop the beast then, but I had to stop it now. I couldn't let Robert do the same.

"Babi. (Dad)" I muttered sobbing.

Yellow eyes , I hated those yellow eyes.

The beast growled showing his canines ready to tear my limbs apart with one bite.

When I felt somebody push me away and throw himself at the beast.

It wasn't a normal body, It was a beast fighting against a beast.

I stared in confusion from the ground when two pairs of familiar eyes stared at me. Radian, it was Radian, he stared at me with worried eyes then his blue eyes turned to yellow and he fought another beast.

Someone pulled me from the ground.

"It's me, it's me Kira. Calm down." Kira pulled me dragging me with her.

I didn't feel my legs when walking, my head was back staring at Radian fighting other beasts.

Was he a beast as well?

.............

I don't remember anymore. I lost my conscience . When I tried to open my eyes my eyelids were heavy.

"Babi. (Dad)." The first thing I said before opening my eyes wide. Hoping it was another nightmare.

"She is calling her dad." I heard my mother's voice near me.

"Are you okay baby? Here, drink some water." My mother gave me water holding the glass by herself.

"Robert!?" I choked on my water.

"He is fine , he is here." My mother spoke again and I realised we were at Radian's office. My mom and Robert, Kira and James , and him Radian.

He was keeping his distance standing in the corner of the room with his arms crossed over his chest.

I couldn't decipher his face.

"You knew it! You knew the beast existed and you forced me to go under treatment!" I pushed my mother's glass from her hand .

The glass fortunately fell on some carpet and didn't shatter into pieces.

"Baby, I'll explain everything.."

I didn't let her finish .

"Don't! Who are you? What have you done to my mother? !"

I was disappointed and hurt .

My own mother knew the beast existed. Was she part of them as well? Did she have to do with my dad's murder?

"I have to leave! I'll take Richy with me. I'll leave. " I tried to stand up but my head hurt.

I closed my eyes when I opened them I saw them coming towards me. All apart from Radian. I searched with my eyes his tense figure at the corner of the room.

I saw him transform into a beast. I should be afraid of him.

"Can you let me talk to her, alone please?" Robert intervined but his head was towards Radian asking for permission.

Were they afraid because he was a beast? Radian just nodded and went outside. He was the first who left the room. Kira and James followed him, my mom at the end, I ignored her eyes.

"You were very brave out there, trying to defend me." Robert gave me a sweet smile as soon as they left the room.

He tried to sit next to me but I moved further away so he kept the distance.
