Chapter 55- Lessons

"You know what to do, right?"

Rose nodded, clearly she wanted to hurt this man, it was 2019 there was no need for this kind of hate to appear anywhere anymore. It was this kind of people that drove people into hiding themselves from the public eye, or even worse, killing themselves.

As the crowd stared on wanting to do something but not having the guts to do anything, they noticed a couple heading towards the man. The beautiful woman with flaming red hair, walked past the man but stopping a couple of meters away and turning around facing the man.

While the young man walked right up to the man and just as he neared half a meter away in the man's blind spot he raised his leg. At the same time, Rose called out to the man,

"Hey Asshole! Leave them alone!"

Everyone turned to look at her, when the man angrily turned to look at Rose and was about to tell her off, he faltered at the sight of her beauty.

In his hesitation, something hard hit him square in the back and sent him reeling towards Rose,

"OOF! WHO THE FUCK JUST HIT ME?!" The man screamed as he rapidly stumbled towards Rose,

Those watching on had seen Acheron sent a Spartan kick towards the man's back just as Rose had called out to the asshole.

"Oops! I tripped!" Acheron said in a sarcastic tone, a cold smile seemed to have formed on his face,

Those gathered around couldn't help but think,

'Bro! Who the fuck kicks someone when they trip?!'

"Oh my god! Your going to fall! Let me catch you!" Rose also said in sarcastic manner, her face cold as ice.

Just as the man was going to reach her, Rose side stepped and then planted her leg forward as she extended her arm outward with a slight bent.

*BAM*

The man's neck met the crook of Rose's elbow with such force that the man was sent spinning 3 times in the air, so when he hit the ground, the air in his lungs seemed to have been forced out.

The crowd watched in shock, not believing what they just witnessed.

' Beautiful lady…. you don't catch people with a Lariat and end up almost killing them!'

"I'm so sorry! Let me help you up!" Rose said as she walked up to the man that was laying on the ground having trouble breathing.

"Oops!"

*Crunch*

"Ahhh!" the man screamed in pain,

Rose had stepped on the man's wrist and broke it, she leaned forward, her cold eyes staring in right into his.

"Next time you want to say some hurtful shit to anyone, remember this and keep it to yourself" Rose whispered with hint of killing intent.

She then proceeded to raise her foot and harshly bring it back down on his hand,

*CRUNCH* *CRACK*

The man passed out from the pain of every bone in his hand breaking in pieces.

Rose spit on the unconscious man's face before turning around and heading towards Acheron who seemed to be coaxing the now crying couple.

"Everything is okay now, there's no need to cry" Acheron said,

"Don't listen to that asshole, love is love and there's no need to hide it or pretend to be something you are not. You go ahead and love who you want to, there is nothing wrong with that, okay?"

The girls wiped their tears away and thanked him for protecting and helping them.

"Lets lighten up the mood… Hey you!" Acheron called out to one of the street musicians that was near by watching.

The man pointed at himself as he looked around to make sure there was no one else around.

"Yes, you, hand me your instrument"

The man quickly handed his Ukulele over to Acheron, he had seen what he and the beautiful young lady did to that hateful man.

Acheron stood in front of the two girls who seemed to still be a little traumatized by the events that just occurred to them. They looked up at him, and he gave them his warmest smile.

He fingers moved as he started to strum the Ukulele, a happy melody floated in the surroundings,

"The great yellow sun, is reflecting in your deep blue eyes

The day has begun

It's been around, it's been around

You laugh to yourself and I see you shine in every color

Resting your head in my arms

(You sing)

La la la la la la la la la

My God I think I might be in love!"

The crowd and the two girls couldn't help but move their bodies along with the song, it was wonderful song that was exactly what the two girls needed to hear to calm their shaken hearts.

"Get rid of all your sorrows in the summer city,

You'll never feel alone as long as you're with me,

Get rid of all your sorrows in the summer city,

There's no place on earth,

I would rather be!"

Soon other street musicians began to join in and played their respected instruments, causing a wonderful scene for those who looked upon.

"I found you today,

It feels like it's been forever,

Laughing all day,

It's been around, It's been around

Your hand reaches mine, Feels like I can do anything

Just give me a mountain to climb"

Rose at this point had leaned her body against Acheron's back, her head bopping along with song creating cute and sweet scene.

"(You sing)

La la la la la la la la la

My God I think I might be in love,

Get rid of all your sorrows in the summer city,

You'll never feel alone as long as you're with me,

Get rid of all your sorrows in the summer city,

There's no place on earth, I would rather be,

Get rid of all your sorrows in the summer city,

You'll never feel alone as long as you're with me,

Get rid of all your sorrows in the summer city,

There's no place on earth, I would rather be!"

The song ended and crowd cheered and gave a huge applause towards Acheron.

Acheron gave another deep smile to the girls who were now smiling in each other's arms before giving the Ukulele back and walking away with Rose attached to his arm.

"That man was really hateful..." Rose said,

Acheron nodded,

"Yes, he was, it appears as some part of society progress, there are parts where it regresses... but no matter what time period, you will always find people that hate others just because some parts don't conform to their own views"

Rose just walked and nodded silently as Acheron talked.

"I have raised children who were gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual and I never treated them any different than those who were straight, in fact, I probably loved them just a bit more... I, of all people, know that the world isn't as kind to those who are different, those who didn't conform to the 'mold' set by society. It is sad to know there are parents out there who disown their children, their own blood related children, just because they were gay. I take pride in the fact my children were never scared to tell me these things about themselves, that they knew I would support them and protect them, no matter what."

"No one is better father than you, Lord Acheron" Rose said with a smile,

"No, no, no, I am far from being the perfect father, Rose, but if I can give my kids the best life they can get, there is nothing I wouldn't do." Acheron said as he looked up at the night sky, the faces of all the children he adopted seem to be smiling down at him reassuring his words.

The walked until the arrived to the limo and the driver waiting for them.

"Where to now, Lord Acheron?" asked Rose,

"Lets go eat some where" Acheron said,

He turned to the driver,

"Take us to the best family restaurant in the city"

The driver smiled,

"Yes, My Lord"

When they arrived, people couldn't help but stare at the couple that just walked in.

"It seems we are a little bit overdressed..." Acheron said with a chuckle,

When they sat down and started looking at the menu, when Rose looked up her face twisted full of distaste.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't 'Dark Rose'.... On a date? Disgusting! Did you already forget about 'him'?!

Some one approached from behind Acheron, the voice of the woman was sweet like honey, but the words were full of poison.

"What are you doing here?!" Asked Rose,
