[P.O.V: Arlo ]

"Hello there, Willow, I'm glad you agreed to come see me today.." my aunt greeted feroz once we took a seat in the cafe..wait a minute..who the hell is Willow..!? But..for some reason feroz didn't even seem a bit surprised..

"..Greetings, ma'am..it appears you already know my name..it is refreshing to be referred to by my birth given name rather than what people call me.." feroz..or better say willow spoke in a dead calm manner..

"Well..I did ask my colleague about you..and he told me your name beforehand..anyhow, how are you doing today..?" My aunt smiled..I'm still too damn confused..

"Just like any other day..anyhow..Arlo had informed me that you wanted to meet me..what for..?" Willow spoke flatly..it just feels wrong to refer to her by that name so I'll just stick to feroz..

"Well I heard from my nephew that you told him about the readjustment classes..did you by any mean feel like you didn't deserve it..?" My aunt asked calmly..

"..you know..sometimes I just feel a bit of self pity when I remember it..but then again..it was for the best...I mean..if anyone went too far it was me.." feroz replied with a faint chuckle..

"I'm glad you are aware and had become reasonable enough to understand that..it is pleasant to see the fascinating results of the readjustment classes blooming and shaping you into a fine young lady.." my aunt was delighted..well this seems better than I thought..

"Oh well..it is one of the reasons why control and order are necessary to keep everything peaceful as much as possible after all.." Feroz spoke with a cold..unsettling smile..that talk seemed to increase my aunt's delight..just why do I feel like something is off..?..why am I suddenly feeling like my aunt is talking to someone unhinged by all means when there is nothing wrong with what feroz is saying..but..is it just her..demeanour..or is she..actually..becoming a full sociopath..?

"Uhh

"Uhh..fer..I just noticed you wearing gloves when you didn't come wearing them..why..?" I couldn't help but ask.."..my hands feel a bit cold again..so the black gloves although fingerless would absorb heat from my coffee..and warm up my hands.." feroz explained with a cold smile..

"O-oh.." I couldn't say anything more..but my aunt could.."oh..?..is that so..?..although the weather isn't very cold today.." my aunt raised an eyebrow..to which Feroz just explained her condition simply without a care..and my aunt didn't get a chance to put a word in..

"Oh..I'm so sorry to hear that..but my that makes it more impressive seeing your record and past..to think that you managed all that while sick..I'm impressed to say the least..say..have you ever considered..working with the authorities..?" My aunt asked with a cold smile..

"Hm..?..oh no..I'm currently working on turning a new page and getting my life back on track..away from the fights and the hierarchy and all that..and I do not deserve to work in law enforcement with my record.." feroz smiled apologetically..damn..so that is why..?

"Oh..?..but why not take your rightful place and be a fair and proper queen in school..?..wouldn't that be better..?" My aunt tried to convince her..

"I don't know if I would be suited for the role..so I will avoid anything that might cause trouble and remain hidden in the shadows..to not repeat my mistakes again.." feroz smiled..although the mere thought of what happened in newBoston happening here in wellston scared me..

Anyhow my aunt and Feroz kept chatting while I listened to them quietly for a while before feroz decided to leave and go get ready for work.."such a proper young lady she had become..interesting..hey arlo..what do you think of her..?" My aunt suddenly spoke to me..

"Well..she is quite cold..quiet..doesn't smile often and tends to be struggling because of her past and illness..even tho she appears to be strong and bold.." I replied honestly..."why do you ask..?" I questioned.."well..I want you to ask her out.." my aunt suggested out of the blue..my face was beat red at that..my eyes widened and I was speechless.."hear me out..she is a beautiful..smart and rational young lady..let alone insanely powerful..she could help you climb up and become stronger..and you can help convince her to take her rightful place in the hierarchy and maybe even work with the authorities too..that way her life would be fixed..a great partner, a decent job and a proper life..it would be perfect.." my aunt explained.."but how will I even approach her..?" I stumbled over my words..

"Does she have anyone you can use to get close to her..?" My aunt asked.."well she had two brothers..her younger brother in specific is in the same school as us..but he is just like her..hiding his ability and refusing to join the hierarchy too.." I started..but then my aunt sighed and thought for a bit before she smiled and spoke.."I have an idea on how to fix both of them.."

"Damn it..we have more quizzes for the semester.." kayden whined in annoyance while me, him, rei and kuyo were walking at the park.."come on..its not that bad.." rei tried to cheer him up..typical.."it sucks...wait a minute, Zane, where tf is Julie..?" Kuyo spoke with a raised eyebrow.."Julie studied information technology and computer science..remember..?..she is at home preparing for her own quizzes.." I deadpanned.."I forgot about that.." kuyo facepalmed.."Anyways..how about yall come to my house after we hang out so we can study together for tonight..?..today we have crispy fried chicken and fried cheese along with grumpy Feroz's homemade chicken salad and hot sauce.." I suggested..

"...Homemade hot sauce..?..by that edge lord..?..hard pass..I like my tongue intact.." kuyo deadpanned.."come on..it can't be that bad..all that sounds good and feroz is a good cook so.." rei tried to convince kuyo.."fine.." kuyo gave in.."wait..wasn't that feroz your grumpy weird sister..?" Kayden raised an eyebrow..right..he had only met her once.."yeah..that grumpy edge lord..indeed she is.." I replied with a deadpan look..

[P.O.V: seraphina ]

"So, John, how have you been..?" I chuckled as I video called John..."yeah, been doing good..but some idiots broke my phone so I couldn't call you or text you.." John shrugged.."oh..?..and you, are you OK..?" I raised an eyebrow.."yeah..luckily feroz intervened in time and beat the shit out of them for me.." John chuckled.."oh..? She did it again eh..? She was too damn mad that day tho..I wonder what was wrong with her..she looked like she wanted to kill them but barely stopped herself.." John spoke with a bit of a shudder.."damn..what's wrong..?" I tensed up a bit.."no idea..but oh well..some things are hard to understand.."
