even her mentor,
Christian.
The master had housed her and raised
her. She knew she was not only his student. She was more than that.
She was his niece. However, he didn’t difference her from the
others. He treated all his students equal. It was only sometimes
that he would show her affection as her uncle.
Rosa owed him a lot.
“ Yes, it because of that
day,” Rosa answered annoyed.
Valerie laid her hand on
her kneel. “Rosa, revenge isn’t good.”
She groaned, “Valerie, stop. I cannot
hear it anymore.”
Valerie sighed, “Yes, okay. No one can
teach you anything anymore.” Then she returned to her supplies to
continue cleaning Rosa’s wounds. There was a knock on the door and
Colin came in.
“ Hey, Val,” Colin welcomed
her and sat down beside Rosa on the treatment table.
“ Hi, Colin,” she answered
as she kept busy with her work. She started to sew the wounds, and
every time piercing pain gripped Rosa, she bit down on her lip to
hide it.
Colin looked at her breast.
Rosa didn’t pay him any mind—she wasn’t ashamed that Colin saw her
in her bra, because she knew that Colin was not interested in her
or her body. He was gay. With his blond hair, ocean-blue eyes, and
brown skin, he didn’t look gay at all.
When Rosa saw him for the first time,
his beauty had impressed her; however, she never wanted anything
from him. Rosa never wanted to start a relationship with a boy.
Many boys were interested in her, but she was not interested in
them. Rosa was glad she didn’t need to worry about the possibility
of ever being more than friends.
Nobody except for Rosa and Valerie
knew that Colin was gay. If the master found out it, he would throw
Colin out of the clan.
To the master, gay boys were weak.
Rosa didn’t see it the same way as he did, of course. She had
nothing against gays. Rosa found them better than she found
straight boys. Gays were much more sensitive and nicer.
“ Does it hurt?” Colin
asked her.
Rosa shook her head, “No, it doesn’t
hurt.”
“ Don’t believe her, Colin.
She would say that even if she were burned alive. Right, Ice
Princess?” Valerie replied. Rosa had to smile.
“ I don’t believe her,”
Colin said as he pinched Rosa. She winced.
“ Hey! That hurt,” she
said, slapping him on the arm
“ Ouch! And that also
hurt.” He rubbed his arm.
“ Rosa,” Valerie warned and
threw her a look. “Stay still. Otherwise, I can’t sew your
wound.”
“ Oh, now Doc is angry,”
said Colin. Rosa smiled broadly.
Valerie threw them another dirty look,
but said nothing.
“ When will you be
finished?” Rosa asked Valerie.
“ In a moment,” Valerie
answered.
“ So, now you must kill
only one of the Nephilim, and you are a full member,” said Colin.
Rosa nodded.
She had passed her test, while she had
killed the shadow creatures. Now she had to kill a Nephilim to
become a full member. She was ready for her next task. Every time
she thought about it, her adrenalin would rise.
“ I
am very excited
that I get to kill a Nephilim. I can’t wait,” Rosa
said.
Valerie looked at her with a furrowed
brow. “You are the first girl that I ever met who found it exciting
to kill a person.”
Rosa
shrugged. “I won’t kill a person. I will kill a Nephilim . They are not humans.
Besides, I have to clear something personal with
them.”
Valerie did the last stitches and put
the needle in the reservoir to disinfect it later.
“ Finished,” she said. Rosa
glanced down at her breast, noticing the three ugly
wounds.
“ Will I have scars?” Rosa
asked.
“ I think so. But if you
don’t move so often and don’t open the stitches, there won’t be any
extremely visible scars,” Valerie answered.
“ But there will be
scars?”
Valerie looked at her with
an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, but yes.”
As her anger rose, she hastily put on
her ripped shirt.
“ Rosa, is everything all
right?” Colin asked her.
“ Yes,” she returned
irritated. Colin and
