Chapter 16: Amon goes to the Mountain (1/2)

That same Tuesday, Amon went out alone again with a backpack.

”Be careful, and don't go deeper into the mountain, it's very dangerous,” Sonia said in a worried tone.

”Oh, I will be,” Amon replied and nothing appeared on his expressionless face before leaving.

Though she hasn't been a good mother to him Sonia hopes he doesn't take too many risks. She knows she doesn't have that right, but she still cares about him. Besides her initial fear of him is almost gone, although he seems cold she was quite surprised at him helping Julia. Even an idiot would realize that he took it easy on Elijah even though Elijah wasn't thinking about the well-being of Amon. Although she didn't want to believe it, she realized that Elijah had a grudge against Amon.

'What that boy Nick said... Does it seem like maybe I've been wrong all these years?' Sonia looked at her son's back and an expression of regret made her want to cry, if that's what it was, she really was a horrible mother.

Julia wanted to go along but was convinced not to ask. After all, Amon was strong, but she was not, and since she was weak she could get Amon hurt so she gave up on asking to come along.

The mountain was the same, Amon intended to get closer to the white stone this time. He felt some connection with it, and it made him feel curious and even attracted to that peculiarity. But still, he would not act rashly, although he strengthened himself there might be strong animals near the white stone.

As Amon walked through the streets with a backpack on his back, his aloofness and stride made people back away. A few women still stared at him boldly since Amon was charming with his cool ways, honey-colored eyes, handsome face with a piercing gaze, and well-built body.

Amon was wearing a white tank top with jeans and black sneakers. Because of the strong muscles in his arms and the white T-shirt that fits tight to his body, he attracted the attention of many women, although most feared him.

”Oh my God, it's hot, you're hot~” A young adult aged 19 to 20 walked past Amon waving her hand and smiled softly at him. She was suggesting that Amon was 'hot', but Amon who overheard thought she was talking about the day that was pretty sultry, so he was oblivious to what she meant.

”Oh…” Amon simply nodded and continued walking.

The woman was frozen in place, the heat she felt faded and she even felt a chill as she saw the coldness in Amon's eyes.

After that, those who saw it were not foolish enough to do the same.

They just admired him from afar or even took a picture.

When he got close to the mountain, there were hardly any people passing. Amon passed the signs that warned him not to enter and walked up the mountain.

Someone who saw him enter frowned and asked to stop the car.

”Miss. Barbara, why do you want to stop here?” The driver asked curious, after all, there was no store or anything like that close it was just a quiet street near a mountain.

She didn't answer and, opening the door when the car stopped, she yelled, ”Amon!”

Seconds later, she saw the boy who had his back wearing a white tank top turn around, it really was him... She was thrilled.

She walked over to the danger sign, ignoring the driver's screams.
