《The Immortal Mutant Teen》Chapter 22 - No Need To Be Afraid
Advertisement
In the morning, Rose wakes up and gets ready for the day. She picks out Acheron's clothes that he would wear for the day, makes breakfast, and prepares the documents that are needed for Acheron to look over.
She walks to the intercom on the wall and notifies Acheron that everything is ready for him. She takes pleasure in doing these things, for her, she believes it to be training on how to be a good wife.
She blushes every time this thought runs through her mind, which in turn brings a chuckle out of Acheron as he sees her covering her cheeks as she turns her body side to side, like a bashful maiden.
'To think this girl ranks 1st in the international list of assassins' Acheron chuckles at this thought, 'I wonder what the other assassins would think if they saw 'Dark Rose' like this'
"Good morning Rose, did you sleep well?" Acheron asks as he sits at the dining table.
"Of course, Acheron-sama! I dreamt of you!" she gives a big smile as she brings his food to the table.
"Hoh~, is that so? What was it?" he asks with the smile on his face growing bigger.
She starts to blush when her dream flashes through her mind, "It's a secret Acheron-sama, I don't need to tell you anything!" Her blushing only intensifying as she looks upon his teasing smile, 'No way I can tell Acheron-sama that I had a wet dream!!!'
Acheron proceeds to eat his breakfast, he doesn't need to eat, but he just eats because he loves the taste of food, especially homemade.
His body also doesn't need to sleep, it has been almost 500 hundred years since he had last closed his eyes for something other than meditation. At that time, his powers had a breakthrough and fell unconscious for 27 hours.

He reads the reports that Rose brought him, he smiles at what he sees.
"Interesting indeed," Acheron says "I wonder how they will react when they see me this morning" he laughs as he puts the files away.
"I'm glad everything is to your satisfaction Acheron-sama" Rose smiles with a slight blush on her face. 'Ahhh~ Acheron-sama is so handsome when he laughs!'
Standing up, he heads towards his room, "I'll be getting ready, start the car and wait for me, I don't want to be late on my second day of school"
"Yes, Acheron-sama" Rose puts the dishes away and goes to the car.
Acheron arrives in front of the school in a Bentley, no one notices his arrival, since everyone here has money, he is not the only one getting out of an expensive car.
Today, he is wearing an all-black Armani suit with a red tie, Acheron prefers to wear a suit anytime he leaves the house, something about him looking better in them.
Though he is not the first in class, hardly anyone is in yet, as usual, he goes to his seat and looks out the window towards the sky.
15 minutes later, Akeno, Sakura and Sora enter the classroom, they have noticed him already in his seat, though it seems nothing has changed, to them, there's an inexplicable pressure that exudes from him that wasn't there before, or at least, they had barely noticed before.
Sora decides to just glare at him for a second before seating in his at his desk. Seeing this, Akeno and Sakura give each other wry smiles before nodding their heads in confirmation. It appears they already have a game plan ready on how they would interact with Acheron.
Most of their classmates notice the girls head towards Acheron before stopping just a few feet away from him. They bow toward him before saying, "Good morning, Acheron-sama"

This sends their classmates into a frenzy 'Acheron-sama??'
'How can their goddesses bow their heads towards a man they just met?'
'What is his identity?'
They were shocked and confused at the scene, they didn't know how to feel about this situation.
Acheron heard their greeting but didn't turn around to look at them, "So, it seems now you know somethings, was it from the Saegusa Clan Head?... if I remember correctly there was an incident about 5 years ago… Ah, that's right, I had to ask Steve to drag Alpha back home before he spilled more secrets to strangers… he has always been such lightweight when it comes to alcohol…"
They continued to just stand there, not saying anything, they just waited for him to finish what he was saying. They couldn't help but notice how the air around Acheron had changed, it wasn't the carefree aura he had yesterday, but the aura of leader, no, it was of a ruler.
"You girls don't have to be so formal, right now I am just a student, not some monster you need to be scared of, you can lose the 'sama' and just Acheron is fine, I will continue to refer to you as 'Sakura' and 'Akeno' is that alright with you?" At this point, Acheron had turned to look at the girls, as always, with a smile on his face.
The girls felt a huge weight lift from their shoulders, they weren't sure if finding things about him didn't already offend him.
With a smile on their faces, "Good morning, Acheron"
In turn, Acheron said, "Good morning, Akeno, Good morning, Sakura"
The girls took their seats, as they were going to ask questions about him, he beat them to the punch "Hey Sakura, why is your brother looking at me like that?"
They turn to look at Sora, who is just staring daggers at Acheron.
With a helpless look on her face, she mentally admonished her brother for being such a battle maniac. "He is just mad because Father prohibited from challenging you to a fight, Father is worried about him getting himself killed"
Acheron's smile grew when he heard those words,
"Understandable, I am known for not holding back even amongst my family"
That got a chuckle out of him, he remembered 5 years ago he flew to Japan just to kick Alpha's ass into the ground, he never even got off the plane, he had Alpha dragged into the plane before beating him, it took Alpha 2 weeks to fully recover from that beating.

Blackened Blood[Progression Fantasy]
Broken and lost by the dredges of this world a boy awakens once again into life's game within hallowed black halls, his first taste of new life cold and hunger along with the echoing drip of temptation. Deep sickness festering within in him. Given a second chance by either coincidence or something more sinister, follow the story of he who bleeds black. Betrayal, greed and blood littered in droves across this hellbound path. ********** 2000+ words daily for now, will reduce to thrice a week after the writathon. If it wasn't clear, this is a vampire story taking place in a high fantasy environment. Although while its main character is a vampire and that is one main focus of the story it will also lend itself to the magic side of this world as well. Basically, if you're interested in vampires or magic heavy stories, this will have something for you... probably. The synopsis is kinda vague but If you give it a shot, I think you'll like it. Also, feel free to drop any sort of constructive criticism since this is one of my first experiences writing in first person.Forgot to add that the story will be a little less action-orientated until around chapter 20+ when... well... read and see :) Any chapters with the * next to them have been edited or tweaked. I'll remove it once all of them are.
