Chapter 31 – The truth
Sera clung to Karim when they got into the car. Her mother’s power was still very recent in her. Something very strong that when received, almost fainted.
“Use that power as I did not use it, Sera.” – she felt Ada’s arms around her.
Sera felt a kiss on her forehead and seconds later, Ada was gone. Waving at her with a smile.
That scene was still fresh in her mind and Sera has not stopped shedding tears ever since.
Karim hugged her and said nothing. He just let she cry as they made their way back to school.
Jae hyun drove in silence. Kallias seemed to have calmed down, but he still possessed and intuition that there was something planned by his husband.
This made him spend the entire trip waiting for something. When they finally arrived, he could finally sigh in relief.
However, by the time Sera stepped outside the car, Jae Hyun knew he had sighed too soon.
Several of his Crows were around the college, protecting him, came to them as a black cloud and in polvorosa.
Their pious was high and they flew around Sera shouting:
“Killer, Killer, Killer, Killer.”
Sera just protected her ears and lowered her head without knowing what to do. Karim’s eyes turned yellow and he growled at the Crows, trying to protect her.
“They won’t attack you. They just want to protect the school.” – Jae Hyun shouted among the pious.
He moved his hand and a barrier formed around Sera.
The pious continued:
“Killer, killer, killer, killer.”
Everyone in high school started going out to see what was happening.
“Mister Kim, what is all this?” – Cordelia appeared at the gate, worried and frightened.
“It seems that Sera cannot enter the college at the moment, madam. My Crows will not allow it. For sure, Kallias did something”
Jae Hyun thought that if what he imagined was true, Sera killing his father, surely Kallias would have taken advantage of this information. However, his Ravens were trained against Kallias and not Sera. For he did not inform the birds of anything. So someone else must have done it, your alpha surely.
“At the moment I have to take Sera elsewhere, director. For sure, Karim will go along. So forgive me for keeping your students away from school longer.”
Other larger crows appeared around him and drove away those trying to break through the barrier and attack Sera.
The new birds chirped and winged them above the smaller ones, causing them to be frightened. Jae Hyun snapped her fingers and the attackers went around the school again.
Soon after, he approached Sera and Karim and broke the barrier.
“Maybe you feel a little queasy. But, it’s the fastest way to travel.”
The big crows hugged them with their wings and the two young adults felt intense nausea and ferocious dizziness. The feeling was that their bodies would disintegrate. Finally, they disappeared leaving only feathers behind and a principal and her students very surprised.
——
Seeing something other than black feathers, Karim and Sera ran to the first lawn they saw to put everything out.
“I thought I was going to die. What was that?” – Karim asked in despair.
“Kallias took advantage of my absence and informed the Crows that Sera murdered someone. I programmed them to block Kallias, who killed several wolves. He used it against me. I can undo the programming. But it will take time. This is a safe place. You can stay here for now. Use the guest room. ”
That said, he just left. Leaving the two alone.
“Sera. Are you okay? ” – Karim asked affecting her back.
She nodded. The nausea and dizziness had already passed and they were able to explore the site.
They were now in a huge garden full of roses of various colors. In the center, there was a completely white house. Around you could see a cave and a temple for Mother.
Sera wondered if Jae Hyun and Kallias had lived there. They explored the site, there was food and water, clean sheets and towels.
Sera’s suspicion was confirmed when she opened one of the rooms and saw several picture frames with photos of Kallias and Jae Hyun. There were two also with a blond boy and eyes like Jae’s.
Their son for sure. However, there were none with alpha. It will be realized at that moment that Kallias did not know about the son and that that place had been a refuge so that the semi God did not find them.
They were silent all day. That is, Karim said nothing.
Sera knew he was holding himself back to ask. And she was preparing to answer.
After lunch, she decided to tell. But before, she was proud of Karim for being so skilled in the kitchen. Eating meat stew with his seasoning was delicious.
When they sat down on the couch, Sera breathed an urgent sigh. So Karim had the courage to be the first.
“Did you really do that? I’m not accusing you… I’m just trying to understand you.”
Tears began to flow from her face as the memories came. And something surprising, even for her, happened.
Her voice came out:
A soft voice, of which she had forgotten the sound, said:
“He hated me. He always hated me for not being a son. His only obstacle was my mother and when she was gone, he kept me alive to take out all his anger.”
The tears increased and she pressed the fabric of the sofa with hatred.
“He couldn’t or wanted to have a child with me. He said that everything that would come out of me would be dirty. And that was good, me being dirty was good not to have a child of that monster bastard.”
Karim didn’t know what to say. He decided not to interrupt, even though his anger would overwhelm his blood when he heard it. If Sera would stop talking, she might not be able to.
“It’s been 12 years. 12 years feeling disgusted by his touch. 12 years with him using me. Throwing me against the wall, hitting me with the feel and hanging myself. 12 years feeling it inside me as if it was garbage filling my body. As if every day I got dirtier. I still had to hear that it was useless, weak and not useful for nothing. ”
She bit her lips until blood came out.
“Every day when I bathed, rubbing myself madly, trying to take away the feeling of dirt and repulsion that he caused me beyond the liquid from him that flowed down my legs. Every time I almost tore my skin off from rubbing, I wondered why he kept me alive. Each time I looked at the marks he left on my body. I asked Mother to send me a sign, a sign that I should stay alive.”
Karim looked at her and had never seen a look like that knot in her eyes. Hate and anger, that is, revenge.
“In one day. He marked me with an iron. On my back and below my neck. I cried and cried. I begged to die. I passed out. ” – Sera recounted crying even more, completely frustrated.
“When I woke up, he told me to clean up that mess. I noticed he looked drunk. I was heating something up, I don’t remember what it was. However, I noticed the iron thrown above the bed. I pretended to remove the sheets, got dressed and took the iron. I approached the fire, he had left it on to get a bottle of I do not know what. The object became hot, almost burned my hand. But, I didn’t mind. That was my chance. ”
She took a breath before continuing.
“I felt something different that day. A power coming from within me, asking me to act. Now I think, it was my wolf. The bastard then came back, staggering like a pig. I didn’t give him a chance to attack. I pierced his stomach with the iron. He screamed. I kept drilling as he screamed. The bastard ran outside. I took the boiling liquid and threw it in his face. He kept screaming, but I didn’t stop.” – she screamed at that moment.
“If I stopped, it would be me. That was the opportunity given me by Mother. He fell to the ground, screaming in pain. So I pierced his neck with the hot iron. He stopped moving. So, without thinking, I put alcohol in his body, I set it on fire. I saw him turn to ashes and did not regret it. I do not know how I did not burn myself being so close to the fire. But I saved myself. Only I could save myself. I may be a killer. But it was the only way to be free.”
That said, she finally let herself falter and fell to the ground. Crying nonstop, in the midst of sobs.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Karim did the only thing he could. She hugged her hard and didn’t judge her. For him, Sera was a survivor and not a killer.
