a huge problem

In the earth realm, a familiar looking house came to view, and in it a certain effeminate boy could be seen rubbing his eyelids as though he'd just woken up from his slumber.

It had been a week since he started schooling at the academy, he hadn't interacted with the humans despite their attempt to be friends with him, occasionally he'd get some curious glances from the white haired lass and her friends but he paid no attention to them.

This had earned Theodore the hostility of some people in his class, to them he seemed more like a snob or a prideful noble, but they wouldn't understand no they couldn't understand, they didn't know how it felt being surrounded by the race responsible for ruining his life.

Then there was Darren, although Theodore had never encountered him again since their first meeting, he was deeply troubled, it was only a matter of time before the organization made their move, till then he had to get stronger.

The years he'd spent in the void had taught him various skills and techniques, the training he had to undergo and everything he needed to know about being a killer was etched in his bones alongside the countless experience of battles.

The things he learned in the void as Lucas was by no means something to scoff at, with the skills he'd aquired he'd be able to rival a high ranking assassin and emerge victorious in a battle.

The only problem right now was his body, although he had the skills, his fragile and slim body couldn't work as effectively as he wanted it to, he had to train, he had to build up his body, only then would he be confident enough to face a member of the organization.

He had been training since dawn, and it was currently noon, with today being the weekend the school weren't active. He'd fallen asleep for a while after training but the chatters of various people woke him up.

He made his way down the hall, completely oblivious that his aunt had tied his hair into a twin pigtail, with his hair falling as bangs on his fore head stopping just below his brows making him look more feminine than he already was.

His aunt seemed to like toying around with his hair, not that he cared though, if anything he seemed to enjoy the attention his aunt gave him.

Abruptly stopping above the stairs he stared at the visitors who were engaging in a conversation with his aunt and cousin, from the looks of it, it seemed like they had just finished a project they were assigned to.

He could see familiar faces, faces of some of his classmates including the white haired beauty.

Below him he could see, the brown haired girl who he recognized as Kenzie, one of the people who had tried to talk to him, then there was the white haired beauty, Sylvia as well as a dark haired boy who he knew as Jake, then there was belle, a good looking lass but paled in comparison to Sylvia.

He could hear their conversation, the girl belle had just asked his aunt a few things about him, he wasn't sure why she was curious and he didn't think she was one of the organizations spy but he wasn't going to compromise his safety because of that, if she indeed is a spy of the organization he'd kill her without any hesitation.

He decided to listen a bit more before concluding anything.

The girl suddenly asked,

" Mrs Amelia, is um.... Theodore always cold towards others?, I... I mean he doesn't even talk to us, no matter how hard we try, he just ignores us completely, it's a bit saddening."

Amelia stared at the girl for some seconds, then sighed with a somewhat saddened look she said.

" Theodore... Has gone through a lot of troubling experiences despite being young, and so he finds it hard to trust or even interact with others, Don't take it the wrong way... He just needs time to heal his wounds. I believe he'll slowly open up to you people."

The looks on the faces of his classmates were not very appealing to Theodore, they had a shocked and saddened expression on their faces, it was something he hated, Theodore hated any form of sympathy from humans, as such their current expression didn't settle well with him.

As if noticing his presence, his aunt turned and stared at him, then with a smile she spoke.

" You're awake, Theodore.. please come join us.."

Theodore wanted to refuse but he didn't know why a certain ominous feeling was coming from the halls behind him, this feeling.... It was death, something dangerous was roaming in the halls, he didn't know what it was and he wasn't crazy enough to remain in the halls where the scent of death was slowly getting stronger.

Without much of a resistance he came down the stairs and walked over to his aunt, he didn't pay much attention to his classmates or Adrian, but he at least glanced at them this time.

Surprisingly Kenzie spoke up

" Hey Theodore, how are you doing?" She asked.

'Huh? What's she playing at, I've been ignoring her all these while but she's still trying to be on friendly terms with me?'

He stared at his aunt who gave him a slight smile and a nod.

He returned his attention back to the brown haired girl before replying.

" I'm okay! "

Kenzie blushed, for the first time since the academy, Theodore talked to her and hearing him speak she couldn't help but be flustered.

Despite his awkward but straight answer, the rest of his classmates were equally as surprised as Kenzie, well most of them, Sylvia seemed undisturbed and less concerned about the whole thing.

Belle awkwardly greeted Theodore, following in her friends footsteps, and Theodore replied her the same way he did to Kenzie.

After drinking a glass of water, he sat close to the dining table in the open kitchen, his unease increasing by the minute. He decided to warn his aunt that something dangerous was in the upper floor of their house.

He called his aunt and tried to warn her, But just then a voice sounded from above cutting Theodore's warning.

A man stood looking down on the humans beneath him, he smiled when his gaze fell on Theodore and his aunt Amelia.

With a slight grin displaying his fangs,

" Ah?... Amelia it's been a while."
