When I regained my senses I am at  the Vilches’ mansion.

When I opened my eyes I saw ZK and AJ (Alpheus Jade) by my side

ZK is silently sitting by my side while AJ is standing

My wounds are properly dressed

“How are you Annica Beatrice?”

“I am fine”

“ZK, told me that you got that from a car accident”

“It’s just a minor accident”

Alpheus Jade’s phone rung so he went outside the house to answer it.

“Why am I here?”

“The hospital is too far, you might get worse, so I brought you here”

“Why did you tell him that I got all this wounds and bruises from a car accident?”

“I am shocked that he's here, and the most convincing alibi that I have think of is to tell him that you got it from a car accident”

“Thank you that you didn't told him what really happened”

“I told you Rogue, your secret is safe with me”

I hugged him tight to tell him how thankful am I

He also hugged me back

“Get well soon, I mean as soon as possible”

“Sure, Zymophore Kriegspiel Vilches” I replied with some giggles

“Your, gear it's extremely worn out”

“Just let it go I think I need a new one the one that is not just made of fabric”

“I will take care of your new gear”

“No need”

“I insist, I will take care of it trust me Rogue Argonne”

“If you insist then, okay just make it light weight”

“Sure”

He brush my hair with his hand

“Take a rest now”

I could hear a genuine concern from his voice

I lay flat down on the bed, he turned the lights off

“Goodnight my pretty psychopath”

“Goodnight ZK”

He slowly closes the door

I close my eyes and try to empty my mind

I have fallen asleep

The bright sunlight that passes through the black tinted glass windows awakened me.

ZK is wearing his school uniform

“Good Morning pretty psychopath”

“Good Morning ZK”

I try to get out of the bed but my body still can't

“You will stay here, I won't let you go to school in that condition”

“but…”

I am not yet finished telling what I wanted to tell when he spoke

“No more complains,I promise that tommorow you can go but please, stay here for now and take a rest”

“Okay”

“Breakfast will be served here at the bed, about 10 minutes from now”

“seriously?”
