Chapter 5: Riza Nox

"VALAK!!" i yell as i wake up from a nightmare, I'm in a room I don't recognise. I'm shocked and a little worried, I take a look around the walls are white and I notice spots in the wall where posters used to be. I'm covered in bandages and can still feel the pain in my body, I struggle to get myself to sit up. My eyes wander for a while untill I look out the window and see a boy standing in the front yard, he has black hair, a white shirt and a black cardigan. He hasn't noticed me yet, I look closely and notice he's burning something in a small metal bin, I think its a couple of posters and a pillow. He's staring at it intensely, he doesn't blink or let it leave his vision, he watches it burn and fold while listens to the crackling of the fire. This guy is crazy.

I hear the door handle turning and ready myself for what comes next. A lady walks into the room with a plate of food, It's real food and not the usual slop they feed us at the brothel. It looks delicious and it's hard to resist but I want to know where I am and who these people are. The lady introduces herself as Amelia and encourages me to eat, she's seems fairly normal unlike that other guy, she tells me that I got jumped and her son (the crazy dude) Acacius had saved me.

I'm not sure if that's true but why would he save me? I've got nothing of value and the brand on my left hand means I'm a prostitute belonging to a big gang. "I know what the brand means and I don't care about it, you were in trouble and my son decided to help you, that's all that matters", tears begin to roll down my face and I thank her. I end up eating the food and ask her if I can thank her son.

It still hurts to move around so I stand up slowly leaning against anything I can, Amelia grabs me and helps me catch my balance. I thank her and make my way towards the front yard, I stumble a few times and make it to the door. Amelia thought it would be a good idea to speak privately with him. I open the front door and walk out, his back is facing me and the flames are bigger than they were before, they burn as high as the house.

Acacius begins to slowly turn around, I focus on his slowly turning head, his gaze meets mine. His eyes are purple, his gaze is intense and his the energy he's giving off is terrifying, he's on a whole other level of power. All i manage to say is "My name is Riza Nox".
