Blessings of Anathema

Chapter LIII: Pablo VII

It's been a week since Auro left. Odessa and Prophs injuries have almost completely healed. My own damages are fully recovered by now. We are all ready to leave for Richmond, however Dalton refuses. He says we can't leave just yet. He won't tell us why... but it seems urgent.
There was a knock on the patio door. I looked behind me to see Dalton standing there, looking through the door at me. I waved him out and he stepped out on the patio with me. He put his hands in his pocket and walked to the edge and looked out.
"How are you feeling?" He said, still looking out. "I'm fine." I said. "No, you're not." Dalton responded with. I stared at him puzzled. He turned and faced me. "We all heard what Auro said. This thing attacks your nervous system. It'll spread to your brain... you remember when you originally came to me? You told me you've been having moments where you feel as if you lose yourself. I think that's the virus. I want you to stay out of every situation that we may get into." He said, staring me down.
He thinks I'm weak. I squeezed my fist. So then he just looks down on me. I'm probably stronger than him.
I looked up at him with annoyed eyes. "I know you don't want to continue to be looked after by me, however until the situation is resolved, you need to be." He said.
I stood up. "Sure..." I said before opening the door and going inside. I was met by Ken and Ariana. She was wrapped around arm, as always. "Oh hi, Pablo!" Ariana called out to me, smiling. I smiled back. "Oh Hi." I said. "We're going to go to the local theatre. Catching a movie." Ken said to me. "Have fun." I said to him. "We will!" Ariana said, smiling. Ken waved and they left the room. Odessa was sitting at the table, reading.
I suppose Marz and Alyza are in their room. They've grown close recently. I heard a door open and turned. Proph walked out of his room. "You good?" He said after seeing me. "Yeah, I'm fine." I said back. "Really?" Coded said, putting down an empty bowl. "Because you look upset."
The patio door opened and Dalton walked in. I could tell them both my problems. How I'm capable of more... however....
Would I only disappoint?

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

A loud burst occupied the matter around us. Glass shattered around and the building shook intensely. The force caused me to lose my balance and fall over. Smoke filled the room and sounds of chaos could be heard underneath us.
I started coughing due to the smoke entering my lungs. As the air cleared, I seen Odessa pick himself up and grab his Scythe. I looked around and saw Dalton standing in the center of the room, looking down toward the sound.
"It's time to go."
