Silver Eyed Abomination

Evening

POV F/N

Glynda and I were inside Junior's Club spending some time together. I invited her out to get to know her a bit more. I only know Glynda as my instructor and not a person, which needs to change if I want her to be apart of Midori's life like she wants. We sat at the bar and ordered some drinks. I don't normally drink since it dulls the senses but it wouldn't hurt every once in a while to enjoy.

"Thanks Glynda for caring for Midori when I couldn't." I took a sip of my drink.

"Anytime, I actually enjoy spending time with her." She says. I look to see Glynda take a sip of her glass. "Why did we come to this club out of a normal bar?" She asks me while staring at her glass. I look at the crowd and back at Glynda.

"You were worried about a teacher and student spending time together. We won't get noticed here so this was the best place." She looks at me.

"I see... Anyways how is everything?" I look down.

"Heh. For the first time in my life I'm actually happy, truly happy." I look up and take a deep breath. I remember the things I did. I followed a simple rule, protect my family at all cost. I almost broke that rule... No I broke that when I killed Midori's mother. I failed but I feel like I should at least tell someone.

"What do you mean you're happy? I thought you were always happy, a bit serious but happy." She questioned.

"I broke my one rule, protect my family." She looks at me.

"What do you mean, they are all safe and I assume happy."

"I think it's about time I told someone." I took a sip of my drink.

"About." She had a worried expression.

"I killed Silvia Schnee, almost killed Midori. I was a different person before I met Midori. My father wanted me to spare them but I had a mission and I never failed a mission."

"What stopped you?" I was surprised she hasn't become hostile towards me.

"The way she looked, it was like me. She was bred for battle, I was trained. We were, are the same. I fatally wounded Silvia with a long range weapon, Midori saw her mother wounded and the look on her face made me feel something." I look at her.

"What was it?" She asked.

"Sorrow, the same sorrow I felt when I saw Kurumi suffer through her depression, the same sorrow I felt when my mother lost contact with her protege Amber the fall maiden and her sister five years ago, the sorrow of seeing the look my brother gave me when I told him how I became so powerful."

"What look did he give you?"

"He was horrified. After that moment I swore to care and protect her like a true father. My only regret is not doing it before. Sorry for souring the mood." She chuckled.

"It's fine, it gave us something to talk about." I look at her.

"Your taking this very well."

"You care for her deeply don't you? Why would I get aggravated over something that happened nearly six years ago? Do the rest know?" She asked

"No I don't want the others to see me differently." I replied.

"I see, understandable. By the way when is Midori's birthday?" I smiled at her question.
