Robert heard and turned toward her. “What’s wrong, Rachel? ” he asked as he seen her pale face.
“Robert, remember that I told you that i hate my dad and I run away? ” she remind him about their last talk at the Forest cafe before.
“The thing is… My father is not even human. ” her tears start rolling down.
Robert surprised by the her statement but manage to keep his cool.
“What do you mean not human? An alien some sort? ” he kept asking.
“ Worse. A devil. ” Rachel showing her glowing Crimson eyes. She remember it. She remember everything. Her name, her destiny, her home that has been destroyed, her dying mother. It wasn’t a nightmare. It was. REAL.
A sudden burst to the door and john hurried to both of them. “We have a situation back there uh…. ” as John seen Rachel with glowing crimson eyes he stopped for a while.
“Come on! We need to move. Where’s the others? ” said Robert as he take his bag then he look at Rachel. “Come with me. We need to get you to safety. ” as he held his hand to her.
Rachel stare at him with confusion and solemn. “You…suppose to kill me, Robert. I am the devil. I am the nuclear bomb. ” she said with teary eyes.
“…and that doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve to live, Rachel. I’ve been there too. But my father, he accept me because he sees something in me that are more than meets the eye. ” Robert expressed his feeling about his father which he’s grateful about it.
“I… ” she was speechless. She could heard her emotion, telling her to grab the boy’s hand. ’ Follow your heart, Raven! ’ says Happiness. She made her mind and grab Robert’s hand. “let’s go! ”

“I’m gonna be in trouble if i’m telling this, Rachel.” said Robert.
“ What, Why? ” as she heard his enigmatic statement.
“ Actually we are not student and teacher as you see. ” John explained.
“Oh.” she was taken aback and her mind try to processing their words. “So, you guys like police or something? ” she still confused.
