The Man entered with a bang. How rude, didn't even knock. Zuna froze as she stared at who came in through the door, while Arius and Dante looked at the door in unison.

Although ordinarily, Arius wouldn't be afraid, he couldn't help it when he saw Zuna go pale. He was scared, if even slightly for the first time in... hundreds of years.

Dante hugged tightly to his bag of potato chips. Who ever Arius was scared of had to be even worse than his own brother. The man had surprisingly refreshing light brown eyes and dark brown hair, he took a step forward.

”Dad!” Zuna called out.

'Dad?! This is who scared you!?' Arius screamed in his mind as he and Dante both simultaneously turned to face her.

Arius shook his head, why would this man be a threat? He put Dante on the floor and stood up. He walked towards the man with his arm stretched out, prepared to give a proper greeting. ”So, you're Zuna's-”

”Arius, stop!” Zuna's warning accomplished nothing, as her dad kicked Arius straight into a wall. She turned to face the man sternly as she walked in front of Arius, whose body made a large dent in the wall behind him. Dante followed her lead as he ran towards Arius, immediately focusing on healing him.

”What is the meaning of this?” The man's deep voice could be heard. ”Hazuna?”

”He's a good person!” She urgently said.

”Explain why you didn't call or text me.” He sounded calm, but it was his calmness that was off-setting.

His cold tone of voice struck fear in Arius, who at the moment had only just processed what happened. With Arius's build and strength, he could easily stand up after such a blow, but did he really want to? He really regretted getting on this man's bad side.

”My phone died! What was I supposed to do?”She said exasperatedly.

”You should have come home.” He crossed his arms.
