One Percent

Chapter 4

Risking for a stranger is wrong to many... but what is a stranger...

We sat across each other. The rectangular table was made of wood with a beautiful red coated paint. Halmind sat across me as Madame Suzy was in between me but on the other end of the table. I glared at her with intense eyes.

"Hmm?" She looked at my eyes then smiles before continuing "Mr. Fenuir Grimgar, Rino's pet." She leaned back

"If you would call it that madame, then yes." I snarled

"How can I help you?" She then leaned again but smiled even more "better be good if you forced me to talk"

"Well, here." I showed her the video where halmind was getting abused "you know the rumour the school kept brushing off as a rumour? It has been solved and it seems like , with all due respect, cared not for your students."

Her smile turned into a frown and a worried look. It seems I marked a spot. She moved my phone back to me and stood up. She went next to Halmind and brushed his hair.

"Let me guess. A whole month?" She said as we both looked suprised. How did she knew? The question made us open which made her smile faintly.

"Rumours are not really secrets but it started a month ago." She then went back to her desk and pushed a button on her telephone. "Syllia, dear, cound you get the doctor and the therapist in my office stat. Also bring a sofa from the storage room." She then ended her call with a thank you

"Hmm..."

We were silent but I still havent taken my eyes off her. She is still hiding something. I can feel it. If I wad a tail, It would be standing up

"Dont worry... I'll make sure those kids will be punished... severely..." her eyes then turned red. It made me flinch but it seems like Halmind didnt notice. Or... am I just getting paranoid.

"Very well madame. I apologize for bursting out on you" i bowed my head

"No harm done. Now, will you leave him with me or stay?"

I missed my class already. But feom what i know, its just a small briefing today. I looked at Halmind with a worried look but he shot me with a smile. He is too thankful.

"I will stay." I replied.

A little pass 5 pm...

I sat on the sofa as Halmind slept on my lap. I stroke his hair gently. I look at him with constant worry and problems. Madame Garcia then called out my name from her desk.

"How is he?" She asked

"Been through worse..." she nodded at my words then stood up and walked to us. She looked at us with intense eyes and a motherly smile.

"Why do you care so much for a stranger" she asked.

Now that I think about it... he does look like him... i small smile formed on my face as a teardrop fell on his cheek...

"Rave..." i said. She looked at me confused and in question

"My little brother" i started and stared at her "he resembles my little brother."

"I see..." she said " What happened, If you can answer." She then sat beside me by the arm of the sofa

"Its long so please bare with me" I said with her nodding approval

When I was young, I lived in a normal and happy home. I was just 13 back then. My mom and dad would always have fights and bicker about small things. Sometimes my dad would fight and place his anger on Rave, my little brother, 10 years old.
