“Open up Rosie.” Sam knocked one the appartment door before calling Rose out.

-CLICK

With a click sound the door opened and Rose answered;

“S-Sam, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be choosing your dorms instead?” Rose asked in confusion, clearly flustered from her visible red cheeks.

Although they call it dormitories, it’s actually mansions that the students of Hero Academy gets to choose. One mansion is appointed to every 30 students. Only Warriors gets to choose the one they wants though, in terms of location and building.

“Don’t worry, I’m just a duplicate. The real Sam is choosing his dorm as you mentioned. Anyway, I’d like to meet our guest.” Sam said as he casually walked in. Upon entering, his eyes went to a spot.

“Isn’t this the same spot I killed your bestfriend? And here you are helping her killer, hell you’re even crushing on him, even though you have a fiance. EagleClaw was he?” Sam smirked.

“Isn’t this all your fault? You made me like this, I would prefer being dead over having these feelings for a criminal.” Rose locked the door and spoke with her back facing Sam.

“You say that but I could feel the tremble in your voice, you heart is beating faster and…” Sam walked up to Rose and grabbed her from behind; “And you’re soaking wet.” he whispered in her ears.

“N-No th-that’s because you did something with my brai-“

“Unfortunately, you can’t have me darling. To put it frankly, you’re not worthy of me.” Sam shrugged casually and walked away to enter her bedroom.

Rose stood there for a moment and calmed her breathing down. A part of her wanted to hurt him, she knows it’s impossible but she wanted to do it anyway. However she couldn’t act on those feelings, she tried, but it’s like she’s just a mortal and couldn’t do anything against her owner, her God.

After calming herself down she proceeded to follow Sam into her bedroom..

“Isn’t it truly a miracle Rose?” Sam said in amazement. “No one can survive the ammount of enhanced neurological toxin she’s dosed with, yet here she is, breathing like nothing happened. Tell me what do you think?”

“Well I gave her a regular supply of toxin like you ordered me to. I found two things, she doesn’t need to activate her superhuman durability, it’s like it’s always present. We can’t even inject the needles through her skin, it’s tough, so much so that I have to stab her eyes with the syringe and inject the toxin through it.”

“Yeah I know that, it’s something that got me killed. Quite literally. Anyway, what’s the second?”

“Second, I don’t know how to put this but… I think her body, it’s adapting to it.”

Sam widened his eyes in surprise.

“Adapting? What the fuck? I injected her with a neurotoxin that was made from Kiara’s blood. Her serpent physiology gives her an ability to produce all kinds of neurotoxin that has been known to mankind, hell her’s is even more potent than those. You’re saying she is adapting from that?”

“Well yeah… Remember her heartbeat? It was once every minute, now it’s thrice every minute. It’s just been just 3 hours but according to my calculations she’ll be able to resist the toxin in about-“

“Next twenty hours.” Sam cut off Rose and spoke in disbelief. “That’s even less than a day. 23 hours. She will be able to resist a toxin made by Kiara in less than a day… What the fuck are these Willburns made of!”

“Are you sure you’re not worried about her now?” Sam asked.

“I’m totally fine. Besides she’s a Willburn, she can take care of herself, and you know what, you were right, I should start trusting her, so this is me trusting her.” Anthony spoke in a reassuring tone.

“Then why are you still holding your phone as if waiting for her to call back?” Sam arched his eyebrows with a smirk.

“Sh-Shut up man! I always do this.”

“Haha, Sam leave him alone, he’s been through a tough day.” Kiara said while holding a giggle back herself.

“Well it’s been pretty rough for Sam too lol. Remember how hard he was panting after the combat class was over.” Anthony commented and Kiara bursted into laughter.

“I was not! That kind of exercise is nothing to me!” Sam retorted but Kiara and Anthony only laughed harder after the response.

“Anyway, I’m glad that you chose this dorm Tony.” Kiara said with a warm smile.

(Have you ever seen her smiling like that for you?)

“Thank you Kiara, I’m glad we became friends too and now we’re dorm mates lol.” Anthony replied with a geniune smile.

‘Shut up! Don’t ever try to manipulate me again as you did earlier today!’

“By the way did you two heard, Lucas, the boy who aced the entrance test has chosen a dorm around this area too.” Kiara spoke in a curious manner.

(When did I ever try to manipulate you?! I spoke the truth, nothing else! And besides you didn’t even kill her!)

“Oh really? I would like to meet him too. In the ceremony he… well sounded kinda competitive haha.” Anthony replied with an awkward laugh.

‘I know very well what you did! Do you think I’m a fool?! And besides I did try to kill her, but this fucker sensed me!’

“Mhmm. Although Sam liked him however, even I don’t know why lol.” Kiara shrugged.

(Oh come on! Do you think I’m stupid?! You could’ve killed her with just a snap, there was no need for all that bloodlust! You could’ve given her a heart attack or shut her brain down, but your subconscious mind didn’t wanted to kill her!)

“Really Sam? What do you see in him?” Anthony asked before turning his head towards Sam.

‘You know very well that’s not the point here! You tried to manipulate me! You call me family but you betrayed me!’

“Sam hello? Earth to Sam?” Anthony called out to Sam.

(Even if I did manipulate you, which I didn’t by the way, I still did it for you! This girl is toxic! Your relationship with her is toxic! Just end her! You even have the chance right no-)

‘SHUT UP!’ Sam mentally yelled back at the voice in his head, before he could speak anymore, a hand to his shoulder shook him out of his thoughts.

“Sam you okay?” Kiara asked in a concerned voice.

“Huh? Yeah I’m okay.” Sam replied before shaking his head.

Currently all of them were sitting in the mansion, they call dormitory’s lounge and gossiping about random stuff.

The mansion was spacious and it had exactly 30 bedrooms. There was lounge, gym, swiming pool, bar and all the amenities that one might get at a 5 star hotel.

The furnitures were custom made with a high quality wood that gave it a classy look. The design for all the bedrooms was different and also, even if they haven’t seen any other dorms, they were told that all dorm features a different look. However, the antique look of this mansion caught Kiara’s eyes in the first glance so they registered for this dorm.

While they were chatting, Sam suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head before he heard a voice, it was his own.

‘Sam, we gotta talk.’ The voice spoke.

‘You should know that I don’t like to talk telepathically! What happened?’ Sam replied furiously.

‘I wouldn’t have done it if I had a choice. It’s about Rebekah, I’m at Rose’s and examining her. I think she’s adapting to the neurotoxin.’ The voice spoke leaving Sam in disbelief.

‘Bullshit! That neurotoxin was made by Kiara, who gave it to me in case of emergency. That neurotoxin is, if I dare say so myself, the most potent neurotoxin in this world! You’re saying Rebekah is adapting to it?!’ Sam replied in denial.

‘You know I wouldn’t have accessed our telepathic link if it wasn’t true. I can send you my memories if you want.’ His voice suggested.

‘No need, I wouldn’t like to experience more mental pain for today. I’ll be heading over there wait for me and don’t do anything.’ Sam replied before cutting off the mental connection between him and his duplicate.

“And you know what, after that we didn’t even get to finish the dinner lol!” Anthony finished his funny story he was talking about, making Kiara burst into laughter again. Sam pretended to laugh too even though he didn’t even heard the most of it.

“Hey anyway guys I’ll be heading out now.” Sam spoke before standing up.

“Where you going?” Kiara asked.

“To a friend’s.” Sam replied casually.

“You have a friend in this city?” Kiara frowned.

“Oh what can I say Kia, I’ve friends everywhere, coz afterall, I’m popular.” Sam said narcissistically before exiting the lounge.

It was already suffocating enough to keep an act on, he didn’t wanted to stay a single second there anyway.

“Her heartbeat is raising, at this rate she’ll wake up, we should inject her with another dose.” Rose suggested in panic.

“Calm your tits down love. He ordered me not to touch her until he gets here… Well speak of the devil.” As soon as Sam’s duplicate finished speaking, the bedroom door opened with a click sound.

-CLICK

“About fuckin time.” Sam’s duplicate said before turning into a violet light and disappearing.

“Huh?! Where did he go?!” Rose asked, clearly startled.

“His work was finished.” Sam replied before he quickly got to Rebekah’s side and checked her pulse.

“Fuck it was true.” Sam clicked his tongue in frustration. Just when he thought he found something remotely close to a weakness-

“Wait… I remember using the same neurotoxin on Starboy once. It didn’t work on him but it did on her, that led me to believe that Rebekah is not immune to poisons unlike her brother. But what if I was looking at the wrong side…” Sam placed his hand on the chin.

(I see! You mean what if, Anthony “developed” an immunity like what Rebekah is doing now!)

“Yeah like that. But it’s impossible… Abilities can’t just be developed, they are something we’re graced with by birth…” Sam tried to wreck his brain around all the possibilities but nothing made sense.

(Sam think about it later, right now do something, she’s waking up.) The voice in his head alarmed Sam.

“Rose bring me a 20ml syringe.”

“20? But isn’t that the half of what you earlier assigned me to give her?” Rose frowned in confusion but still opened her side drawer and took out an half filled 50ml syringe. “It’s a little less than half, this should be about 20.”

“Thank you,” Sam replied before taking the syringe and opening Rebekah’s left eye. “I asked 20 ml because we’re going to torture… I mean nicely ask her for some information. 20ml would let her stay awake but she’ll be too weak to activate her powers.”

Rebekah’s unconscious opened eye reflected a needle as it grew closer to her eye membrane. In a moment the needle pierced her eye and Sam’s lips curled up into a eerie smile.

“Get up Rebekah, it’s time to play.”
