63 - Anger

*Stupid Papa! Stop!

Stupid!

Papa*!

Three sweet, childish voices screamed in Fang's mind and a moment later, the door was thrown open violently and Pax ran in with a thunderous expression on his face. He snatched away the knife in Fang's hand and slapped him, hard.

"What the hell are you doing?" Pax shouted.

Fang had never seen Pax so angry before. He smiled awkwardly and threw up his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I wasn't trying to kill myself, seriously," he said in a small voice. "I just found out something accidentally and was... experimenting." He held out his hand. "Give me the knife, I'll show you if you don't believe me."

"No need," Pax said coldly. "You've been trying to stab yourself all over with this knife and it keeps bouncing off, isn't that right?"

Fang's eyes widened in shock. "How did you know?" he asked.
