The Sins You Hate and The power I Craved(A Jellal Fernández x oc Fanfic)

Chapter 9

Abe's pov

I walked up to the guild doors, hands shoved in my pockets. I'd been standing outside the guild hall for about 4 minutes now, trying to decide what to say as to not piss of the master. Deciding that I might as well just wing it since he didn't know where I lived so he couldn't hurt Rufus for now, I pushed the door open.

Some people turned to look at the door as I walked in, keeping a straight form as I walked across the wood floor. The master focused on me when I stopped a few feet in front of him. "Where have you been Abe?!" he bellowed. I bowed down before straightening up again.

"I was on a job sir" I replied, keeping my straight form. "And what of Rufus?! Where has he disappeared to?!" he snapped, standing up and easily towering over me. "He is currently resting up after a mission sir" I replied, doing my best to keep eye contact.

Everyone in the guild refused to look at us despite clearly wanting to, they were too afraid of what the master would do if they did look. Before I had a chance to react, I was hit hard across the face, body slamming down onto the ground and leaving a dent. I restrained from any pained noises as I pushed myself back up.

"Since that brat isn't here I'll punish you instead" he spat, punching me in the gut. I hit the wall, the strong stone cracking under the force that I was punched back in. I fell to my knees, swallowing back the blood that rose in my throat.

I didn't have much time to recover because I was getting hit again and again. Over and over again until he'd had enough. "Get out of my sight!" he spat. I quickly slipped out of the guild, limping through the streets, unaware that I was being watched.
