It's been 2 years since Eden stayed with Adrain, Anne and Lucifer. Those 2 years were the best since the incident with his parents. Anne, Lucifer, and Eden (A/N: Azrail too.) became closer than ever over the years. They're like siblings now.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAeArfIoxnKH
Eden had grown up. His hair is a lot sharper and the color of it changed from dark blue to baby blue. His eyes are as pretty as they were in the past. He stayed skinny but his skin got even paler—nobody knows how since he's already as pale as a vampire. He got considerably taller though, he is still the shortest among the trio.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAkVf5NI1O9I
Lucifer, on the other hand, cut his long soft hair to Anne's dismay. He is now the tallest among the group which made him proud since those two would always bully in for being short. His hair color stayed the same, fluff and wild. His eyes are brighter like the sun. He was happier than ever since he moved in with Eden. Lucifer never regretted his choices.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAsl8A9CIbpu
Anne stayed the same except the fact that her hair got longer. It's up to her waist unlike before—which is to her shoulders. Her green hair shines in the sunlight like she was some sort of angel. Anne's eyes are brown like chocolate on a sundae. She was the oldest of the group so both the boys considered her as their older sister who is wiser than them. She...is the troublemaker of the trio.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAKPxsUYqXdA
Those three are like siblings. They always hang out with each other day after day. Anne would teach them about survival tactics because she doesn't want to see her little brothers in danger while she was away. "So, Eden...why are you always eating candies like a toddler? You're 15 for god's sake!" She sighed while snatching away the bag of watermelon candies.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA2e8FDw4Dij
"B...But...But I need my daily watermelon candy..." he stretches out his hand and tries to take it away from her only to fall, face flat on the ground because Anne dodged. "Ow...." he groaned in pain. Lucifer chuckles quietly and picked Eden up. He was surprised that Eden was this light despite how much he eats.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAfXDcT7nVZU
"Thanks..." he went to a corner and sat down, planning a way to get his watermelon candies back. Lucifer takes out his sketchbook and draws a picture of watermelon candies and rips the piece out. He hands it to Eden who stares at it intensely. 'That fucking bitch....' Azrail grumbled.
181Please respect copyright.PENANALT2y63RQRX
'You should've taken it from her! I mean, seriously, it's right there...' he whined as he tries to touch the candies but fails because his hand phased through the bag. Fake tears fell from his eyes as he hugged himself and cried while floating in midair. Eden sighs and gets up. He walks over to Anne and smirked.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAJKPzmDUu9j
"I have a deal. I'll do 3 chores for that bag of candy." Anne's face twitched. She wanted to give it to him but shook her head. Her mind was slowly dying since she had to complete 3 chores. "No. You have to stop eating these or you'll be sick! I'm this household's doctor after all." She puts both hands on her waist.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAjdEJt7W3vz
Eden sighs once again and went up to his room. "Why can't Eden just listen? He won't be healthy anymore!" She rants by herself. Lucifer gives her a small smile and pats her on the back in a comforting manner. "Thanks. Why can't Eden just be nice like you already...? He's such a stubborn asshole." She curses under her breath.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAepdk2hW9Nl
Lucifer hand stopped patting her back. His eyes were filled with some kind of emotion she can't describe because it was too complex. His brown hair shadows his eyes as he gives her a smile. "Thank you for trusting me." He said. This sentence, however, rubbed Anne the wrong way.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAGlwqDjiGpu
"O...Okay...?" She stepped away from Lucifer and went after Eden. His bag of candies was in her hands. She must discuss this with Eden. She knocked on the door twice and waited. Having heard the knocks on the door, Eden asks "Who's there?" while sulking on his bed.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA7mnt3UXn3U
"This is Anne. We need to talk. This is important." She told him. He reluctantly answered the door but grinned when he saw his previous candies back. He snatched it out of her hands and consumed the candies immediately. "So..what did you want to talk about?" Azrail asks. "It's about Lucifer." She said sternly. Eden stopped eating.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAzRgYNBmvsu
"What about him?" He raises an eyebrow. His expression changed. He no longer was playful. He was "all ears". "He seems rather...suspicious nowadays." She admitted while fidgeting with her fingers. That was her habit, whenever she's nervous, she would always play with her fingers.
181Please respect copyright.PENANApnCbTKLUbm
"I know that," he hands her some candies. She took it without any hesitation and ate it. "Lucifer has...changed for the past 2 years. I have a feeling he's hiding something." Eden crossed his arms and wonders about what Lucifer might be hiding from them.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAnykVFKUq4E
"I agree, one time, he hid my bandana stash! I was trying to hard to find them only to find it under the couch. He was snickering too." She pouted while reimagining the scene.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAJMn0q1IjQi
"He likes to steal things and hides them. Especially my toothbrush. For some unknown reason, he hid it in his drawer." Eden wondered what the hell would he do with his toothbrush.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAtrc6bpaNtA
Meanwhile, Lucifer—who is being talked about behind his back—sneezes twice. 'Huh? Did I catch a cold?' He decided to ask Anne for some medicine since she's the doctor of the family.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAy1M4bmGuC4
"Why the hell would he take my toothbrush?!" Eden yells into the pillow while Anne comforted him. "Um...Anne?" Lucifer opened the door and saw a scene he can't quite forget. Anne was sitting on a chair as Eden is covered with blankets and pillows.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAUDiPG415Ho
"I...just wanted some Zinecs (A/N: copy of Zinc. My mother always told me to take that medicine whenever I sneeze over 2 times.)." He quickly looked away from a scene he has no context about. Anne took out a tablet of Zinec and hands it to Lucifer who gladly accepts it.
181Please respect copyright.PENANATpIi6eyJ86
Lucifer who is used to anything that's bitter, bites the medicine (A/N: It's tinier than a Mentos.) and drank water right after. Eden is shocked since well, he can't handle bitter stuff and has a huge sweet tooth. After that, Lucifer quickly went downstairs.
181Please respect copyright.PENANALkYANvpJhk
He hums to the tune of 'you are my sunshine' as he draws a portrait of a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her name is Alice. She was giving the viewer a smile that is as bright as the sun. That girl was also handing out a scarf that looks strikingly similar to Lucifer's scarf.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAc7xl5if955
"Luci! We're going out to visit Adrain's workplace." Anne called out to the teenager. "Coming! I just need to bring some snacks there." Said teen fast-walked towards the kitchen to get some snacks.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA0uDyMR2Q8k
'Eden.' Azrail spoke up suddenly which scared the living daylights out of Eden. 'Yo...?' He said, the tone of his voice is filled with uncertainty. It's been a long time since Azrail spoke. He's been completely different since...since Eden saw that dream.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAGu1XdBzowS
'I...I want to apologize. I'm sorry for ditching you all of a sudden. I...I don't want to put you in danger just because you saw that dream. I...am sorry that I allowed you to see it. I-I don't want to put the pressure on you to change the course of the future...at least, I think the dream was in the future. It's too late to turn back now....' Azrail pauses to take a deep breath in.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAxFykqDWAC8
He scrunches his eyebrows and furiously curses under his breath. 'Eden...' he began. This got said person's attention immediately. He knew that it was serious. 'Will you...will you change the course of the future for me?' He dropped the question.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ywmrEXl6
Azrail is nervous to hear Eden's answer. 'I... don't know. I-I mean, you suddenly just brought it up and I don't know whether I want to change the future or not! Changing the course of the future clearly means huge responsibilities. Am I doing this alone? Am I supposed to be a hero or something—'
181Please respect copyright.PENANAjlApYMhIpC
Azrail* grabbed Eden's shoulder and for a moment, Eden could feel his touch like he was a physical being. 'EDEN.' Azrail snapped Eden out of his train of panicky thought. 'Please just say yes or no.' He begged. 'I..give me some time to think.' And with that, their short conversation ended...abruptly.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA9zeQpnZtDO
Azrail* means Angel Of Death.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAmSXJIgRIfo
He walked towards the door and met up with Lucifer and Anne who were waiting patiently for him. Eden gave them a small smile of appreciation.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAvl7rgahGrF
"So...I rent us an AOX hoverboard to go to his workplace which is a couple of blocks...maybe 3 blocks away from here." She hands Eden and Lucifer a bracelet that automatically binds itself onto their wrists. Anne throws the poster flawlessly into the air like she just doesn't care. Eden caught it.
181Please respect copyright.PENANABCShC5HXV4
"Rent only....huh...this is pretty cheap for a highly advanced device." Eden murmured. "That's why I rented it in the first place!" Anne exclaimed. "Cheapskate." He was whacked with her fists.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAduNfio7Y2e
181Please respect copyright.PENANAlVq9EMt651
181Please respect copyright.PENANA4IPnsaYQ5M
"Woahhh...you rent us the newest version!" Lucifer's eyed sparkled with admiration and gratefulness. 'Let's test this bad boy out, Eden!' Azrail said excitedly. He was filled with adrenaline rush and thirsts to try out the hoverboard. He snatches the hoverboard out of Anne's hand and turns it on.
181Please respect copyright.PENANASjZnu0Cxfy
"Now, little man. Watch this training video with these glasses. You too, Luci." She said sternly, leaving no room to argue. 'Ugh...this bitch is annoying.' Azrail grumbled but watches the instructional video anyways.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA4obzmpW1wU
Eden's mind went blank. Something was pulling him outside of his own body. Azrail was confused at first. 'Yo...are you okay? What's wrong?' He asks Eden who for some reason, can't answer. He was choking on something. He was being strangled.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA5oINIHuvba
'H...he's ca..calling for m-me...' he managed to utter these last words as his soul escaped his body, leaving Azrail to maneuver it instead. Everything was quite. 'Eden?' No response.
181Please respect copyright.PENANACoPLFw6fgx
'Eden!' He yelled. No response was given. Azrail is beginning to freak out. 'EDEN!!!' He yells with all his might. The 'twin' of Eden Satire, Azrail is freaking out. He had expected a causal monotonous response but there was none.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAESf1RssOTc
Was he alone again?
181Please respect copyright.PENANAw3sVL9nrpl
'I don't want to be alone...' he whispered into the dark abyss which is Eden's mind. "Eden. Let's go." He was pulled by Lucifer over to the hoverboards.

"Where are you taking me—?!" Eden was slapped by a familiar figure. "....you don't even recognize me!" The little boy from before wept. His golden hair was pulled back by a hair clip. His eyes are bright and big. "Whatever. So, welcome back to your house. Last time, we were interrupted by your mother." He had a complicated expression.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAhHdkwOgsim
"You...changed your look?" Eden being the curious boy he is asked. "Yeah...figured this would make me more handsome!" Greg said in a very narcissistic voice. Eden wanted to smack him on the head so bad but calmed himself.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAw30MorJECa
"Okay. Back to business, you're probably wondering 'why did the magnificent Greg want you of all people?'. To keep it easy to understand for you simple-minded human, I chose you because I know your little secret regarding a certain...'twin' of yours." He sat down on the windowsill of Eden's room. Greg got up and quickly entered a code which is too fast for Eden to see.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAqL5jpvZbEj
"Soon...or maybe today actually, you will be able to join us." He closed the secret door back. "Here. The first hint that they left for you youngsters to find." He told Eden and hands him a piece of paper that's been torn apart.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAmdSLDOFYac
"I'll tell you a little secret....you'll go on an Easter Egg hunt soon." And he disappeared. 'Damn him and his dramatic exits and entrances.' He cursed under his breath and leaves the torn poster in the book case where the secrets of their word was located.

Greg was right. They will go on an Easter egg hunt. "Shit, I need to go." Greg quickly left after checking his watch. Eden could feel Azrail pulling him back to his body. He closed his eyes and feels his presence. Eden quickly left his lonely home.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAjCwY16N99S
Little did he know, a cloaked figure was watching him. "Kukukukuku...master will be pleased." The figure jumped off the roof and activated what seem like to be boots that makes you float in the air. "The show just got started." They spoke up. Greg stood next to the cloaked figure. "There you go again, ◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️." He smirked.

'Where the hell have you been?!' Azrail asked—more like, scolded. 'Somewhere over the rainbow~' Eden sung. Azrail smacked him—uh...he thought he smacked Eden but instead, he smacked air. "Eden...?" Anne who's sitting in the waiting room with Lucifer looked at 'Eden' with a strange loo on her face.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAykvT0S4bfC
"S-Sorry...I'm just anxious since we've been waiting for so long..." He rubbed the back of his neck in an embarrassing manner. "Eden...it's only been 7 minutes." Lucifer sigh.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAjykGiSmxyi
"Haha...I forgot to look at the time..." Lucifer looked at him for a moment. "Whatever, you weirdo." He chuckled to himself. 'Give me my body back.' Eden ordered. 'Fine, fine. So we've been waiting for Adrain to come out for the past 7 minutes.' Azrail briefly informs Eden.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAAQOnPmeFtu
After a couple more minutes, Adrain finally arrives and sits down in between Eden and Anne. "Hey! I didn't expect you guys..." Anne glared at him. "And girl to be here to see little old Adrain." He cleared his throat. His eyes—eye flashes with love and gratefulness in them.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAjX9WQd57LB
He got up and got a tissue. He blows into them as fake tears fall from his lone left eye. "Aren't we supposed to...oh, I don't know, get to know your colleagues and workplace?" Anne tapped her legs on the ground impatiently.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAKJDIg2lMHX
"Oh yeah...it's our break right now so....let's go!" He—somehow—picked up everyone and quickly ran like the fast person he is, towards the cafeteria.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAkzJKQYdQnn
"Oh wow....donuts...lots of sweets—OH MY GOD!" Eden yelped with surprise. Tears well up in his purple eyes. "What's wrong, Eden?" Lucifer asked while trying to study his face.
181Please respect copyright.PENANACf79DK1FlW
"They have watermelon donuts..." Eden quickly bite the donut and to his disappointment, it was painted to look like watermelons. It tasted just like a normal donut, just a little bit sweeter than usual.
181Please respect copyright.PENANASprdBoSJ1I
181Please respect copyright.PENANAf3CzDCDbxU
181Please respect copyright.PENANAyJrZ88kK9p
"My disappointment...I have no words to describe it." He fell dramatically on the floor while hugging his legs as he cries. Lucifer comforted him to the best of his ability but to no avail, Eden's crying never stopped.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAzV0zGxGMbZ
Anne Renalds, being the older sister of these troublesome children decided to set a mission for the family of misfits. "Okay, so here's the plan to make Eden happy." She whispered to Adrain along with Lucifer who listened intensely. "Go, go, go! We only have 10 more minutes." Anne ordered and they went their own separate ways.

"Okay, so I got to wait until everyone got their ingredients." Lucifer used the hoverboard and arrived at their house. He sat down in the kitchen for a while until he decided to get up and rummage around in the cub board under the stairs.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAY0QeV31KST
Lucifer found a photo book of their 2 years of being together as a family. He smiled softly to himself while flipping through each pages. Everyone was happy.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAyO7V50jgFM
He turned to a page titled April 22nd which is his birthday. He was so carefree. "I guess...I'm taking a trip down memory lane, huh?" He said quietly to himself.

◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️ is chuckling. "Kukukukuku...Luci is alone! Should I go meet him?" She said to herself and a strange weapon present in her hands. It looked like some sort of Yo-yo but needles were poking out of it. "Kukuku...everything will be cut to pieces." She giggled.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAEjP2TZAnZa
◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️ sighed. He was getting really tired of her weird behaviors. A whip can be seen wrapping around his rather feminine waist. He pushes up his glasses and wrote something down in his notebook. "Just don't do anything to him—" she was already gone.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAi7FR0mskji
He sighs again and jumps in with her. He can't have her ruining their plan. After all, ◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️ is the one who made the plan. It has to be executed perfectly.

Adrain ran across the supermarket for watermelons. Jacob who was also shopping noticed Adrain. "Hey, Adrain—" to no avail, he was ignored by the man. Being ignored and left alone with his shopping once again, Jacob's pride deflated.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA0w3881OmAG
He finally found the fruit aisle. 'The watermelons all look the same!' He thought to himself feeling anxiety slowly growing inside of him. 'Do I choose this one or this one? There's so many choices!' He began losing control of time as he looked at all the watermelons over and over and over again.
181Please respect copyright.PENANADLlYATGMtq
Adrain who is now the embodiment of anxiety itself shivered at the thought of disappointing his daughter and 2 sons. "Okay, Adrain. Remember what Charlotte told you." He took a deep breath in and decided to select a random watermelon from the huge pile.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAdsoNbwBegY
"Adrain. Whenever you're indecisive, try to think about the solution slowly and work your way through. Don't think about disappointing others because, if they can't respect who you are, they're not someone you should trust." For a moment, he can hear Charlotte. Adrain's heart ached as he desperately tries to search for the voice.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAvWIsYRGfPD
He can hear her voice. Was he going crazy? But then, for a split second, the energy of someone threatening appeared—or so he thought. He turned his head towards the direction the energy came from and found a rather interesting looking person.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAL4IEkKJKEn
"Hey, A!" Jacob who regained his confidence proudly smiled at him. "What's up?" The redhead raised an eye brow at his colleague. "Nothing much—Why are you holding that old-looking watermelon?" He stared at the bruised fruit and shook his head.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAo5CEHNG3iu
'Ah shit...I disappointed people again...' Adrain sighs and puts the bruised watermelon back in the pile. Jacob whose eyes glistened with regret decided to butt in. "I-I mean...it was a good try but you still have many chances to redeem yourself."
181Please respect copyright.PENANAueYA22MDKx
Adrain tried once again but this time, he didn't close his eyes. He looked around for a watermelon that isn't bruised like the old one that he had picked. He didn't care whether people are looking at him or not. This was his chance to face his fears.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAOsw548Ru41
Adrain whose mouth is now agape, found the perfect one but...he was too late as a kid already got a hold of it. His eyes begged for the watermelon yet he is unable to move an inch.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAZxPvNURI1A
The boy's shopping cart was moved to another aisle along with his mother. He clench his fists. 'Damn it!' Jacob stared at Adrain and sigh. He shook his head in frustration. 'This man right here has a lot to learn...' he pat the back of Adrain.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAR4TQaR6w7r
"Ah! Help me! Please save me." A bad—no, horrible—imitation of a woman's voice was heard. Jacob looked at the basis of the voice and found a little kid holding a figurine of a woman and another of a superhero.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAnuRv4ljdxk
While Jacob was chuckling at the kid's actions, Adrain had picked out another watermelon. "Is this alright, Jacob?" Said man glances at the watermelon and he smiled. "Congratulations. Now go get it checked out," he paused for a moment.
181Please respect copyright.PENANArMqrhuJ34o
"Now I don't know why you would buy a watermelon during a rainy season but alright." Jacob went to the cashier and paid for his groceries.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAhX2H06zZIY
Adrain has completed his mission. 'Now it's up to Anne for the flour. Hang in there, Eden!' Was his last thought as a certain blonde haired kid stared at him. The boy vanished out of sight as soon as Adrain spotted him.

Anne Renalds walked across the bakery for a friend of hers. The bakery is called Pierre's Pie Shop. Zachary who is the heir of the bakery is currently in the kitchen as his mother was busy sorting out the new pastries.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAVjPD95br1x
"Excuse me, ma'am..." she spoke up softly. "Just a second—oh...it's you." The middle-aged woman spoke up. "That dumb girl who didn't even finish school," She rolled her eyes as Anne feels her pride drop and burned down to ashes.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAZBLYsD8XYz
"Whatever. Dumb people should go with each other. ZERO!!" Zachary walked outside of the kitchen in a hurry and accidentally dropped a plate filled with donuts.
181Please respect copyright.PENANADlNeHP6YWN
"You clumsy piece of useless shit. Pick that up and go make more!" Anne was about to help but then she was stopped by the father of the messed up household.
181Please respect copyright.PENANATnnadzBpWO
"Let that creature do it." Was all he said. Anne froze in her steps. The years of abuse she had been suppressing due to the help of her new family came back up. She began breath irrationally.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAKV9biVWk4r
She wanted to vomit. "E-Excuse me...but..where is the toilet..?" She have a false smile that managed to fool the father. "Right down the corner." She dashed there. "Thank y-you!"
181Please respect copyright.PENANA0xq9VXTd6s
She was right. Anne vomited it all the food she had eaten. Tears spring out of her eyes as the world around her spun. But then...everything stopped as Zachary burst the door down.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAGAz9XQYN20
"Anne! Are you alright?" He freaked out as his only friend was slowly losing consciousness and drowning in her nightmare.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAxVBHXlCQxp
"I'll get you to the hospital immediately!" He was stopped. "Don't. It's better if they didn't know. I...don't want to burden them anymore." She begged him with her eyes glistening with pain and suffering.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA991LsTA1Vy
"B-But...but you—" he stopped himself. "I..I don't want to lose you...you're my only friend. You're someone who didn't hurt me..." his knees buckled down as everything came to a hold.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAV8XvT4wkiy
His body was trembling. Zachary's breathing wasn't shaking. He quickly took out his inhaler and used it. "I...I can't lose you..." was all he said as Anne hugged him. "I won't die this easily." She grins.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA1nbYblR2Cg
Zachary smiled back with his 'dumb' look. "If you say so..." he got up and gave her a piggy bag ride. He walked towards the front of the shop. Something cracked inside the mother's heart.

They entered a room and a man who's in his mid 20s—she assumed to be Dr.Dearn—was typing something on the hospital's computer. It seems to be an email to someone. "Dr.Dearn. You have a patient." The nurse told said man and hands him the clipboard with the information on Anne's condition. After that, she left.

"The...The trauma was me...suffering from abuse..." she whispered. "I am assuming that said trauma was triggered because of Mr.Grengar's situation?" Anne's eyes widened. How did this doctor suddenly guessed everything?

"You are probably thinking about how I knew of this. Well, it is because of your body language. Glancing at Mr.Grengar...asking him to leave," Anne quietly listened to what happens next.

"As I looked at Mr.Grengar's hands which seems to be cut from some sort of glass." He pushes up his glasses. "Ms.Renalds...is he being abused too?" Dearn dropped the bomb.
181Please respect copyright.PENANATyekgnCbq4
"Y...yes. He is being abused mentally and perhaps even physically as well." Anne admitted as soon as she realized that she cannot lie to this doctor that seemed to be able to read her mind.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAsxToZGmyYc
"Yes. I can read your mind, if that's what you wanted to ask." He rolled his eyes. "Now that no one is here..." he got up from his seat and stared right into her soul—at least, that's what Anne thinks.

"My name isn't 'Dr.Dearn' or whatever bullshit name they gave me. I'm not in my mid 20s either..." he pushes up his glasses as he smirked. "Now, Anne dear...why don't you join us?" This unknown man smirked.

"Why—" a collar was present around her neck. "You're probably going to say something along the lines of 'Why the hell would I?! Who even are you?'. Am I right, Ms.Renalds?"
181Please respect copyright.PENANAry1tuCUp2H
"First of all, you have no choice. Lastly, my identity is none of your business but I'll tell you my name since you've been a good girl," He removed her collar.

"My name is Kai, a 19-year-old assassin is what I want to introduce myself as but I'm actually Raven, a 16-year-old doctor who works in an organization." Raven smiled. His body suddenly shrunk down into the height of Lucifer.

"Damn! ◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️'s power ran out?!" He freaked out until he realized something. "Heh...at least ◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️'s censoring still works." Raven coughed. "A-Anyways, answer me." Anne glances around the house in worry.

"I'm pretty sure you need some time to think. Here, a card." Raven hands her a card with some weird code on it. "You yourself can't read it but someone can...they're in your family." He smirked and quickly grew in his previous size.

"Ms.Renalds, take this medicine and ease your pain of your past trauma." He hands her a bottle of some sort of medicine with a name that seems rather strange. 'Loekopa...? I've never heard of that name before...Rosemary even showed me a book that's been updated on medicines yet...' she glances at it.
181Please respect copyright.PENANATILi5l5f80
Why use this medicine? It will erase your trauma.
181Please respect copyright.PENANA0y5QfPTHv8
"Why should I take something so suspicious?" Anne asked while turning cap of the bottle. It opened with a *pop* and cyan pills of unknown origin can be seen. "It's still in development. I managed to steal the recipe of the beta version and improved it." He answered briefly.

"Why should I trust you that this isn't poison?" Raven smirked. "Oh...dearest Ms.Renalds...if I wanted to poison you...I could've done it ages ago..." he smiled.

Anne breaths in. "You know what? I'm not joining your damn cult!" She left the room and the medicine. "Zach, let's go to a therapist. I have Adrain's card." She grabbed hold of his hand and they left the hospital. "W-What's wrong, Anne?"

"Don't ever let me come to WellBright ever again. That doctor...I don't like him." Zachary froze in his steps. "Tell me what happened in there, Anne..." he laid both his hands firmly on her shoulders.

"Doctor...'Dearn' wanted me to join a cult by providing a beta version of some sort of medicine that will erase my trauma." She told him bitterly.
181Please respect copyright.PENANAPrLglAZraY
"I think it's better to just...oh, I don't know, report him to the police?" Sarcasm was Zach's middle name. Anne sighs. "Alright." She told him.
