'That night.'
Flashes of the event that night reminiscenced in her mind.
"[Heavenly Binds]!"
Those words.
"[God's Wrath: Cleansing Smite]!"
Those spells.
"[Hell Flame]!"
Was it her that said them? Was it her that casted them?
It was as if she was watching through a virtual reality set. She could see everything happening but she was not in control and yet those actions were hers.
Was it mind control? She asked herself.
No, this was different. She had already been mind controlled once. This did not feel like one.
What was this exactly? She was not sure.
Only moments after casting those spells, she lost consciousness midway casting another.
…..
She opened her eyes in the early morning. She
"What's this about me?" Matthew asked after he silently entered the ward.Cecilia and Rose were speechless. He had just suddenly showed up right as they were talking about him."Matthew."Matthew smiled and walked closer when Rose mentioned his name."I was so worried about you, Rose." Matthew held Rose's shoulder.Time stopped at that moment. Rose stared at Matthew's face that was lit by the sunlight. She could see trickles of sweat which showed that he came in a hurry.His clothes were dirty which showed he had just come from a quest. His sword was still on his waist. He did not return to the mansion to put it away.He had literally just returned, and headed straight here. She was so happy about that."Rose, are you okay?" Matthew's question broke her out of her trance."Y-yes, I'm okay." Rose s
Rose opened her eyes to a completely intact hospital ward. Everything was fine as if nothing at all happened.“Was that just a dream?” Rose thought. “I hate falling in dreams.”“Rose!” Cecilia came crashing down the door as she did before and hugged Rose.“Oof!” Rose was once again surprised. “Cecilia! Get off me!” Rose pushed Cecilia away hard.Cecilia was utterly shocked and confused but she still managed to apologise. “I’m, I’m sorry Rose. I was just too happy to see you awake now.” Her face brightened up almost immediately.Rose was still trying to catch her breath. “Please don’t just jump on people who just woke up like that.”“Y-yeah, sorry.”Not long after, the same doctor and the same few nurses came in. “Miss Ce

“Who is that?” Rose asked.Roosevelt answered with a bitter smile. “That’s me.”Rose glanced between the two people. It was definitely believable that it was her that casted all those spells at once.Rose still wanted to make sure.“That’s you?”Roosevelt chuckled softly. “I hate my past self. I did as my father told without question. As much of a genius as I am, I did not realise what I was doing was wrong.” She shook her head side to side slowly. “That is not who I want you to be. I want my descendants, all of my descendants, to live a peaceful life.” Then her expression changed from sadness and regret to anger. “But that boy just had to bring you with him.”Rose was confused and surprised by the sudden change in Roosevelt. “Who are you talking about?”“Drag
Matthew ran as fast as he could through the streets as he made his way to the hospital. The hospital was filled with people and so was the elevator.He took the stairs and made his way up to the fifth floor. Then he continued running towards a certain ward. He saw a few people standing in front of the ward's door.Cecilia, Yuki and even Gustav and Emilia were there. Matthew stopped once he arrived. They already saw him from afar and turned their attention to him.“I came as fast as I could. What happen-”*SLAP*Before Matthew could finish speaking, Cecilia slapped him on his cheek. Matthew held his cheek and looked at Cecilia confused.“Where have you been?” Cecilia asked him with a threatening voice.While still confused by why he just got slapped, Matthew answered. “I just got back from a quest.”
Matthew was sitting outside the ward on the bench outside. He’s been sitting there for almost an hour already but Rose did not move at all. She was probably asleep.Matthew distracted himself to kill time by imagining many random scenarios in his mind. At some point, he recalled the time he took the Hunter Exam. When he fought a student who had been killing other students in the exams.“Alan, was it?” Matthew asked himself, trying to remember the guy’s name.“What’s wrong with Alan?” A man’s voice suddenly came from his right. There, he saw one the most powerful Hunters in the world.“Ajax?!” Matthew stood up as he was shocked to see him.“Relax, kid.” Ajax said as he walked closer to Matthew.“Ahh sorry, just surprised to see you here. Are you visiting someone?” Matthew asked
Rose laid still on the bed. Her eyes were swollen from crying until her tears dried up. She was devastated by the nightmare she had. She didn’t let anyone in no matter who because she feared what might happen.It was not safe for her to stay here either. She must find a plan to run away and stay hidden. She looked out the window and it was already night. She felt her stomach rumbling. She had not eaten for the entire day but she did not have an appetite despite her hunger.She rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up. She looked around the dark room. The only source of light was from the window leading outside and the hallway light that leaked through the door’s window.Rose snuck a peek through the door window. “No one there.” This was the perfect time. It was night and there were none of her friends there.Rose dragged her body to get off the bed. As soon as she stood up, her head
Matthew stood in front of the door while Rose stared at him from the bed.Upon seeing him, "go away" were the only words that came out of her mouth.Matthew did not move. “No,” he said. He stepped closer toward Rose.Rose pushed herself up the bed, trying to stay away from Matthew. “Go away!” She shouted.Matthew didn’t want to attract attention so he stopped. “Rose, relax. I just want to talk.”“No, we can’t talk. We can’t…” Rose shook her head slowly as she said.Matthew spoke as softly as he could. “Please.” He looked deeply into Rose’s eyes, trying to be as innocent and sincere as he could. Luckily, it worked and Rose gave in. She nodded once but refused to look at Matthew.Matthew eased up and stood in place. Matthew thought about what to say f
