Aurora Perrault

POV : Aurora Perrault.

I came back from work early and decided to surprise my friend Zephyrus by just popping in front of him out of nowhere.

I drove my car all the way to his apartment and parked it and went up the elevator.

This area always seems deserted, even the simplest things like hailing a cab becomes a task. I wonder how this fellow commutes.

The elevator swung open and brought me back from my thoughts. I knocked on his door and as I peeped through the peephole, he wiped his tears off from his shirt exhaled before he opened the door.

"Oh good lord, Roar, is that you? Why's the Heedless humourist at my door?" He said looking at me with his eyes wide.

"Long time, Psycho!" I said as I opened my arms for a hug.

"Indeed, Loud mouth. Missed you so much." He smiled like he wasn't crying a moment ago.

"Bitch, cut the crap, why were you crying?" The colour of his face faded.

"Was I? My eyes have turned red, but that's because of those stupid onions I was chopping." He said with a smile, sounding as casual as he could.

"Liar." I stated firmly gazing into his eyes.

Maybe I would've been convinced if I had not seen him through the peephole.

"You know how upset I get over everything litt-"

"Why can't you fucking tell me what happened." I yelled at him.

He took a deep breath.

 "My professor has been abusing me since a year, I have not told a soul about this."

"Abuse, of what sort, like scolding-" I paused as I saw his eyes welled up, and his voice turned shaky and low.

"He pesters me for..." He couldn't bring himself to voice it out.

He bent his head in shame. It felt like hundreds of needles piercing me at once.

"For sexual favours." He managed to only whisper, as his voice was cracking while he was shivering.

"State his name, I'll handle the rest." I said firmly, my eyes darkened.

"No, you don't understand the situation and the consequences your action would have, on my life-" I interrupted him. "Name!" I questioned vehemently as I grabbed his shoulder abruptly.

"Taylor Abbotte" He mumbled as tears flowed down his cheek.

Starts with T and with E. I reminded myself mentally.

"Bye" With that I stormed off in a second.

I drove my car all the way to Zephyus' college.

Ethereal Hospital and Research Institute. The huge ass board read.

Ethereal? My foot!!!!

I stormed inside and there was this deserted hospital with little to no crowd.

There was also this board with Doctor's name with their specializations written bellow and arrows denoting the direction of their respective chambers.

The name I had to find was simple.

It starts with T and ends E.

Tobias Arendelle. The first name on the board. He is it.

I immediately looked at the arrows and rushed into his chamber.

Inside was a seemingly calm man who sat meditating like he's the next incarnation of the lord himself, suddenly he opened his eyes and saw me, he straightened his back before leaning back onto his chair.

I was fuming.

"What do you think of yourself, you bast*rd" I roared in rage.

Thwack. I slapped him, his jet black eyes flashed a hint of shock.

For a sec, his gaze lowered. Something seemed to have changed in his demeanor.

And boom, he slapped me back.

The sheer audacity!!!

He signed something which I was too furious to decipher.

He took his phone out and did something.

I instantly snatched it and threw it away.

I went back to the door to close it.

I gave him a glare that literally was giving -The-hell-awaits-your-arrival-and-I'll-make-sure-the-wait-ends-sooner.

I immediately picked up the pen on his desk and barged at him as I said "You torture people for some petty marks, I'll slit your filthy throat today!!"

Splurt

The stabbed the pen so hard, but he had moved away right in time. The sound of the stab echoed. The pen stuck to the wall.

I punched him hard and sent a blow from my elbow to his jaw.

...I hope it's broken, if not, I'll make it will be....

He gazed, straight my eyes and smirked before I could decipher what it meant,

Thud, He picked me up like I'm some rice sack, and tossed me, like he wanted to crush my spine.

Makes sense.

I couldn't help but let out a growl in pain. He punched my jaw.

Now the bloodshed seems inevitable.

I sent a kick to his abdomen. He moved a step back due to the impact.

He glared at me like he wants to kill me, the saint guy who was meditating earlier was long gone, the man stood before was an absolute beast.

And I'd love to feast on a beast.

I sent a fierce kick to his groin, which he stopped by catching my ankle in time and pulled me towards him abruptly from my ankle, I lost balance and fell to the ground.

He lifted me up from my ankle and slammed me to the wall.

"You son of bitch, you put up a facade of a good guy all day and-" I smirked as I came at him and

 Thunk. I tossed him down and he was locked, he closed his eyes in reflex. He raised his elbow for a blow.

"Roar, You're in with the wrong guy." I heard Zephyrus 's voice.

I tapped on my cochlear implants in disbelief.

"Come out ASAP. The man you're beating is not the one I told you." He said in despair.

My eyes widened in shock. WTH did I just assault a wrong person?

I face-palmed in embarrassment.

"Bitch I'm gonna hunt you down for this!" I yelled in rage.

Why the hell did she give me the wrong name!!!

I was infuriated yet embarrassed. I wanted to a dig a hole and bury myself in it.

I looked up, too ashamed and embarrassed to gaze at his eyes I bent my head down again.

I slowly gazed at him as I took a deep breath in. My eyebrows stayed furrowed as I noticed that he has just frozen with his elbow halted in the air.

He noticed my eyes at his elbows and lowered it.

"I'm extremely sorry." I said in a gentle tone.

Even I wasn't satisfied with my own apology.

"I honestly don't know how to apologize and even if you don't forgive me, I am really sorry for whatever I did and for all I shit I said." I admitted, honestly.

He seemed as puzzled as I am and lastly smiled at me in response.

God knows why?

"I'm sorry too," He signed.

I wonder why?

"Are you dumb?" I asked as I realised he never actually spoke.

He pulled out the pen stuck to the wall and wrote "I'm verbally challenged."

"Then I guess I'm audibly challenged" I said as I couldn't help but smile at his sudden politically-correct behaviour,

Ouch! I winced in pain. I guess my jaw is maybe dislocated.

"I'm so sorry." He signed in worry.

"Me too" I said with gritted teeth due to the pain.
