Chapter 1 : An Old Orphanage

July 28, 1991, London, England.

There was an orphanage called Greenwillow Orphanage in the Chelsea neighborhood of Kensington, London.

Many children was living in this old but clean orphanage building. But one of these children separates from all of them at the first glance.

As the wind blowing through the window entered the room of this special child, the child who was sleeping in the bed was startled and straightened up from the bed where he was lying.

The boy's black hair was stuck together in sweat, while his pale green eyes were big with fear.

He had an image that distinguished this boy, who looked to be 11 or 12 years old, from the others.

His appearance was flawless in a way that satisfied even the most critical person.

His smooth skin was pale white...

He had dark black hair , gray-green irises. His eyelashes were long and tight... he had a neat, perfect nose, full pink lips and a pointed elegant chin.

The handsome boy began to talk to himself while clenching his teeth.

" It's the same damn nightmare again... I'm tired of seeing this nightmare every time! "

While the child was grumbling, the door of his room opened and a mature woman in her 40s entered.

The woman's appearance was average. But she had a sincere and maternal temperament.

This temperament became even more pronounced when the middle-aged woman began to speak.

" Sean, are you okay? I heard you shouting as I passed by the room... "

The boy, Sean, sighed and comforted the woman who was the headmistress of the orphanage.

" I'm all right, Miss Grace. I had a nightmare... again... "

Miss Grace bit her lips and approached the bed where the child was lying and lovingly smoothed his sweat-soaked hair.

" Sean, I know I've told you this many times, but I want to ask you again : do you want to see a psychologist ? "

Sean nodded in the sense of no.

" You know, Miss Grace, I've already been to a psychologist 3 times before. None of them have found a solution to my nightmares. Besides, I'm slowly getting used to it... "

The brown-haired headmistress got out of bed with a sigh.

" Well, I respect your decisions. But this is the last time you said no to me. The next time you have a nightmare, I'll take you to a new psychologist. "

After the woman said these words, just as she was about to go out, she stopped with what she had in mind and turned around.

She spoke again, while the black-haired boy looked at her uriously.

But this time the tone of voice was scolding and skeptical.

" Sean, I heard that snakes raided Mr. Michum's stores. All his shops have been attacked by too many snakes to count. Do you have any information about this? "

The child lying on the bed squinted and thought in a lazy attitude.

" Mr. Michum... I don't know who Mr. Michum is, Miss Grace. "

But the woman did not fall for him so easily. Because he knew that the boy had a perfect mind and memory behind his perfect face.

" Mr. Michum is the one who made an offer to buy the orphanage building last time... I don't understand how you don't know. you argued with him when he came to our orphanage 3 days ago. Did you remember? "

Sean gulped at Headmistress Grace's words.

" Yes, yes, I remember. But no, I had nothing to do with it, Miss Grace... "

The woman took a deep breath upon these words. When he spoke, his voice was full of love again.

" Sean, I know you want to protect the orphanage, but not like this. If your abilities are discovered, it will be very bad. "

Miss Grace, who said the last sentence as if in a whisper, wrinkled her face with pain and anxiety.

Getting out of the bed where he was lying, Sean approached him and hugged the woman tightly.

The young man was taller than most of his peers. At about 5'1 tall (155 cm), he was almost the same height as Miss Grace.

Therefore, he had no difficulty in getting his next words into the woman's ear.

" I'm sorry, Miss Grace, but I haven't thought of any other way to prevent the purchase of the orphanage. "

As the woman's body stretched because of what she had heard, her anxious eyes met the determined eyes of the teenager.

" What if those snakes had hurt someone, Sean? Have you ever thought about that? "

Sean's voice sounded pretty stable this time.

" Impossible, Miss Grace ! I checked each one carefully. There is no way they can go outside my orders! "

Miss Grace murmured as she dropped her shoulders in defeat.

" Somehow I can't prevent you from doing it. "

This state of him involuntarily came out of his mouth as his child stretched out the following words.

" I give you my word, Miss Grace... I will never use my powers unless it is a last resort... But if I have to use my skills, it's like 2 years ago and like yesterday... I'm not afraid to use them. "

As Elizabeth Grace recoiled in horror at these words, her brown eyes found the eyes of the child opposite. The woman did not know what to do as the fear inside her grew.

Sean's pale green eyes became darker and darker, almost as if they had turned into dark green balls of flame.

The woman closed her eyes as the items in the room, the windows of the closet and the mirrors shook violently.

However, this situation did not last long.

Sean, who soon mastered his emotions, spoke in panic when he realized that he had scared Miss Grace.

" Miss Grace, I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to frighten you-"

" It's okay, Sean... I know you don't want to scare me, but please control your feelings ! I don't want you to hurt someone again... "

The middle-aged woman approached the child, took her perfect cheeks between her palms and planted a kiss on her forehead. Dec.

" It's comforting to have you here and to know that you will protect us at all costs, Sean, I'm not going to lie to you. But you're a child too, you don't have to take on so much responsibility! And forget about that incident, okay, son? He influenced you in a way that caused your nightmares. And I feel so guilty about it..."

The handsome boy raised his eyebrows at these words of his.

" It's not your fault at all, Miss Grace... That man deserved what happened to him. If it happened again, he would kill her again- "

Unfortunately, Sean couldn't finish his words.

The brown-haired woman put her hand firmly on his lips and prevented him from speaking.

The woman's brown eyes grew big with panic, she looked at the door to see if anyone had heard what the boy was saying.

Fortunately, only the empty corridor was visible from the door.

But Miss Grace still spoke sternly in a whisper.

"Don't ever say that again, Sean... That incident was an accident. You wanted to protect me, and you accidentally hurt that person. That's all... Did you get it? "

Although the child thought otherwise of her, he did not indicate it.

Miss Grace was very important to her and to everyone at the orphanage. That's why he did what he did to protect her, but not by accident or unknowingly!

Sean deliberately and willingly wiped that bastard of the earth.

The woman, who soon recovered herself, smiled as if nothing had happened.

" Come on, take a quick shower and go down to breakfast. You're late again. "
