The Scards: Start!
Chapter 2: Is It Because I'm Different?

'BRAKK!' 'KRAAKKK!'

"Whataaa!!!"

The sound of a buzz accompanied by the crack of a wood followed by the cry of a man who boomed full of emotions breaking the silence in a simple minimalist 2-story residence.

A middle-aged man of about 58 years old punched a table until it was split into 2 pieces, before him stood a young man with a face full of scars, brownish-black hair and beautiful blue eyes knelt down while bowing her head.

"Basic stupid! What are they thinking?! You don't know yourself!" Raung is a middle-aged man who, while swearing at someone, is Damian Brawijaya who is currently expressing emotions after hearing reports from the young man before him.

"You don't have to kneel like that, Albert. Awake." He said to Albert kneeling before him, "This is not your fault, son. You have nothing to do with this." Damian continued while calming himself.

According to Albert, the handsome young man immediately woke up from his kneeling event. But Damian's emotions again peaked when someone entered while slamming the door of the room until the poor door hinge was almost dislodged.

'BRAAKKK!'

"Dad what's wrong?! Why are you screaming at night like this? Do you want to die?" A handsome young man was still wearing a doctor uniform with a sharp and beautiful bluish-gray eye on the frame of his eyebrows firmly, a slender yellow skin with a firm jaw, a slightly pointed nose, and a slightly pointed nose, honey-brown hair with a sturdy body and 176 cm tall 21-year-old broke in and immediately nyerocos with a sinless face made Albert snort miserably.

"You expect your father to die soon, huh?! You bastard!" Maki Damian to the young man who was replied with a crybaby.

"Then what's going on?" Asked with a plain look that managed to make Damian's head twitch irritated. Albert who had just been able to watch the drama of father and son there was no ahklak.

"Albert tell this shit. I don't know why my blood always boils when I'm dealing with him." Damian's word while insinuating the young man named Joshua Alandero Mahardika Brawijaya, the only son of his puppet who always upset him.

.................

After hearing Albert's story, the room temperature suddenly felt hot. The visible embers of the fire coming from the floor that Joshua was treading around the young man, caused Albert to kneel down as he was unable to withstand the pressure exerted by Joshua.

Damian realized that after seeing the red light shining on the back of the young man's hand followed by a Phoenic-shaped tattoo of fire. Until the fire grew and...

'TWOARRR!!’ 'BLAARRR!’ 'CROPPER!!'

A hole was created in the wall of Damian's room. Joshua seemed to be twitching his jaw to hold back his heightened emotions.

"Basic doesn't know it's lucky! I'll kill them!" He bellowed furiously as he unsheathed the burning sword towards the hole.

Joshua sheathed his sword back and a samurai hilt landed sweetly on his head.

'Play'

"That's right! Why did you hit me?" She asked angrily when she saw Albert pinching his head.

'Place!' ' Play!'

Instead of stopping, Albert casually clasped Joshua's head back with his samurai handle without guilt or anything and said coldly, "If you're so emotional how do you deal with them? At least calm yourself down and think of a way, fool!"

Joshua was silent at Albert's words and rubbed his head that was covered by the caress of affection from the handle of the young man's katana.

"Albert, we're handing everything over to you." Damian said as he patted the young man on the back.

The moon has returned to its contest and is replaced by the sun shining on the earth with its timid light accompanied by the melodious singing of birds perched on tree branches around the Anderson residence.

The morning sunlight barging through the curtain gap made the owner of the room that was still rolled comfortably in the blanket frowned because it was disturbed by the glare of the light that barged in. Slowly the tiny body wriggled before finally opening its eyes. His tiny hands rubbed his eyes that still felt a little.

The girl stretched her body for a moment to relax her stiff muscles and immediately tidied up her room. After making sure his room looked neat, he immediately headed for the bathroom to clean himself.

Moments later the girl came out with a fresher state even though her face was adorned with several wounds caused by her own birth mother.

Ran immediately took the medicine box stored under his bed. The little girl painstakingly treated the wounds in several places on her face and then covered them with wound plaster.

The girl pecked herself in front of the mirror while combing her hair. Visible reflection of himself with a cute round face, slightly chubby cheeks that make anyone want to pinch him because of his anxiety, dark blue eyes, jet black hair with some strands that are bright blue. Very different from the Anderson family who have black hair with dark brown eyes or the Brawijaya family who have blue eyes with black hair. Even her facial features slightly resemble that of her mother.

"Is this why they hate me?" Gumannya. Not wanting to linger thinking about unnecessary things, the little girl immediately stopped her activities and tidied up her medicine box and headed towards the dining room considering that her little stomach had sounded asking to be filled.

When he arrived at the dining room, he did not see any of his family members there. The little girl rolled her gaze through the room and decided to ask one of the maids who was busy with her duties.

"Auntie, where's father, mother and sister?" Ask politely.

"They just came out, miss. Can I help you?" Answer the maid in a soft tone.

"No, bi. Thanks." After saying so Ran immediately rushed towards the dining table and revealed the hood, but he did not find any food left for him.

Not discouraged, Ran immediately ran to the refrigerator in the kitchen and took a loaf of bread and a box of milk to prop up his starving stomach. The girl ate voraciously considering that from last night her stomach was not filled with anything.

As he turned around, a maid looked at him angrily and grabbed his hair cursing, "The little thief! How dare you steal food!"

Ran could only cry because of the strength of the maid. The merciless maid hits Ran blindly.

Hearing the commotion created by the maid as well as the agonizing cries of Ran caused several maids to approach them and attempt to pass through it.

But their efforts were in vain because the maid was reluctant to release her grip on Ran, until finally a flat-pitched and cold voice stopped her activities.

"What are you doing?"

The maid immediately let go of his grip violently, causing Ran's head to hit the floor hard until a loud 'duk' sounded. Eventually, Kirania was unconscious.

"I'm just giving that little thief a lesson, is that wrong?" The maid answered with a stupor, while the other maid immediately lowered her head.

"Alex, take him to the hospital." Tell the man to a man with a rogue face. "Make sure miss is okay or we'll get in trouble later." Said the man while glancing sharply at the maid who was now trembling in fear.

"You all disperse!" Tell him firmly. They all immediately disbanded resuming their pending duties, leaving the maid alone.

Alex immediately carried the helpless body of the poor girl to the hospital.

'Miss, please hold on' Her mind is anxious.
