Surprise.

'Are they back? Did they went to do some work earlier today and did not told me?' I thought while looking at the apple.

Looking at the kitchen entrance my instincts told me not to speak and I knew that it was not any of my parents.

Using mana sense I could only tell that was an adult and was a male, not only that but without mana sense I could already tell that the person was emitting bloodlust.

'Shit! I'm not ready to do this!' I thought this since my body was all sore and I felt that with my mana I could do nothing. I can still feel my skin a little wet with sweat from the recent 'workout'.

'If at least I could use stealth... but now I would probably just go unconscious from using all my energy.' If I had a human mana core I could only put some effort to make the pool extend, however as a monster the core can only be upgraded to expand the limit.

Giving one more silent bite to the apple I place the red round thing on top of the kitchen balcony and kept the silent atmosphere as I went and made a knife that was hanging on the wall float to me with my last drop of mana.

After this I could feel that my heart started to pump more blood towards my whole body signifying the start of adrenaline on the same.

As I stood there preparing myself I regulate my breathing and started sensing my surroundings to not lose the intruder.

Sensing that he was exploring the living room in search of something, which is probably me, I started to go to the kitchen entrance where it did not had a door.

On the other side of the entrance there was the actual living room where the man was so it was only a matter of time until he enters here and he finds me as I do not have a place to hide here... and he would have find me even if I was hiding looking the way he is searching for me.

Even if he was somewhat close to me I would not dare to make a mistake as I am not in a condition to fight right now.

I kept my sense up and notice that he looked at two doors, both of them being the bedroom doors. Finished looking on the living room he went to one of the doors, opened and soon closed behind him.

'I will not stay here to see his face as it is too dangerous.' I thought glancing at the bedroom he went in and I started walking in direction of the house's front door.

As I was about to open my sixth sense picked something up and made me stop my actions. Not wasting time I tried to feel what was on the other side and on the border of the mana sense I could feel another person.

Not wanting do die again my pupil shrunk and my grip on the knife got stronger.

'Why is life so harsh with me?' I thought while swallowing some of my saliva.
