Chapter 37 - : Mind that hard to read

After torturing and killing Alex Rhully, Peter and Lisa took a quick stroll through the park while making sure not to be spotted by anyone as they did.

"Man at night it quiet peaceful don't you think" Lisa said

"Yeah and if you look up you kind of forget about all that had happened recently" Peter replied steering up at the night sky. The night sky was a mix of colours of black and purple with stars shining like jewels in the night sky, it was a sight to behold as not many could witness it.

"Yeah, Peter before we go back should we stay here for a bit and do some star gazing" Lisa offered as Peter nodded, wanting to spend so much time with the person he loved.

The two went up to a nearby bench and watch the star as it felt like time around them had stop,

"Hey look it a shooting star, should we make a wish" Lisa said whiling turning to Peter

"Yeah on the count of three, one….two.....three" Peter staid as they both thought of their wish before the star vanished in the night sky.

"So what did you wish for" Lisa asked in curiosity

"You first" Peter replied

"Oh come on you can't put a lady on the spot like that you know and it's always the man that goes first" Lisa argued

"Fine let's say it at the same time then," Peter suggested and Lisa nodded "On the count of 3...1...2...3"

"WANT TO BE TOGETHER WITH LISA/PETER FOREVER" They both shouted as both of their faces turned red in an instant before both started laughing.

"Hahahaha can't believe we both made the same wish" Lisa said as she couldn't stop laughing

"Hahaha well it shows how much we both care for each other" Peter said as he continued to laugh. After a while the two calmed down and looked at each other, Peter got off the bench and went on his knees.

"Lisa I know we are technically married but I still want to do this" Peter said with a straight face grabbing her hand "I promise whatever happens I will alway come back alive to you and I always love you and never abandon you". Lisa started to cry which took Peter by surprise as he got up and stepped aback a bit.

"Why are you crying"

"Because...you...sound like you are going into a battle that you don't know if you are going to win" She said as tears from her face kept going

"Nononono I didn't mean it like that" Peter said as he tried to comfort her "I just want to do a proper proposal and a promise to you"

"Then I should do one as well" Lisa said wiping the tears off her face and looking at Peter, "Peter I promise no matter what we face I will always be by your side and I will never abandon you". After the two made their promise they both decided to bring her back home.

After they got back to Peter home, Peter went and took a shower to clean his body and to wear some new clothes while Lisa decided to go into the kitchen and cook something to cheer Peter up.

"What should I make, I know why not steak dinner" she said as she turned on the cooker and began cooking. After a while Peter finished his shower and got changed in his room before going downstairs to check on what Lisa was doing. After walking down a couple of stair he could smell something sweet, as he entered the kitchen to see Lisa in middle of cooking

"Oh darling do you want to help by setting up the table I made steak dinner with mushroom and chicken soup on the side" Lisa said still stirring the pot with soup

"Sure but why don't we eat in the living room while we watch something" Peter offered and Lisa nodded. Peter took the table in the dining room and brought it to the living room. Peter states in STR it was easy and there was enough space for people to eat and sit at the same time, then he took a glass and filled them with water before placing them next to each other.

"Lisa is the food ready" Peter asked

"Yeah just finishing the final thing" Lisa said as she slowly place the food on the plates.

"Let me help," Peter said, entering the kitchen and grabbing two bowls before pouring a bit of the soup inside them both. Both of them took the two plates of food into the living room and placed it on the table before turning on the television and watching something on Netflix.

After they finished, Lisa went and washed the plates. Peter offered to do it but Lisa refused his offer saying "it's fine I can handle this". After a while Peter and Lisa watch Netflix on the couch together until dawn.

"Ok I going to school do you want me to open a portal back to the dungeon" Peter asked as Lisa shook her head

"Na I will stay here for a bit, I don't want the same thing to happen again like last time. I will be down in the basement practising if that alright" Lisa asked and Peter smiled before replying "Of course it is" before going off.

When Peter arrived at school there was a massive commission near the footpath through the forest, not only the Rose family execution team was present but also association. Peter smiled as he could guess that they found Alex's body. Peter continued walking into the school building as he entered class. Every one of the students were talking about why the association and rose family were there.

"Hey did you hear they say that they found 8 student dead and one of them was Alex Rhully" A student said

"Well service him right for acting like a big shot all the time" another commented

"I heard that a beast attacked them as they wandered into the forest" another student commented to her friends. The student kept talking about what had happened and who the victims were, Peter really didn't care and steered aimlessly out of the window waiting for the day to end. After a while the teacher walked in and everyone quieted down and went to their seats.

"As you all know some of our fellow student have sadly passed away, now due to some circumstances the children name shall not be named but due to this incident we are postponing dungeon run for now" Miss Pollon voiced to the class before continuing "To help with the investigate the Rose family will be doing a lie detector test to see if anyone in the school had kill the students or was it beast". Everyone beside Peter and Lilly got out of their seat and complained saying 'it unjustified, what right do they have and more'

"Now now I understand your arguments but it's necessary to eliminate any possible so please co-operate with the Rose family, ok first up was Henry Gol". Henry got out of his seat and was led by a teacher to where the Rose family were. After which slowly one by one each student was sent out of the class one by one. Until Peter was called to go, Peter was led to an isolated room at the end of the hallway where he could see both of members of the execution team that visited his house seating there.

"It been a while" Richeal said sitting at a table and in front of her was a white ball

"Yeah" Peter said as he took a seat

"This won't be long we just going to ask a few question" Richeal said while Berry watch at the side and thought 'no matter what we are going to find out where Lisa is'

"Ok" Peter replied

"Now place your hand ball if the ball changes colour then we will know that you are lying and if it stay white then it the truth" Richeal said as Peter followed their instruction and placed his hands on the ball as a message appeared

[Object detect that can tell if the user is lying]

[Due to the users skill 'Mind manipulation' the object has been suppressed]

[New trait unblocked, 'Iron Mind']

[Iron mind

The users is not affected by any ability/objects that can take over the users mind or as a way to detect any lies, however it only works if the ability/object is weaker than the user]

Inside Peter smiled as he could lie all he wants and the Rose family couldn't do anything

"Ok first question, did you know Alex Rhully" Richeal asked

"Yes" Peter replied as the objected didn't change colour

"Did you kill him?" Richeal asked the next question in which she expect Peter to say no and the object to call out his lie

"No" Peter replied as the item didn't change colour which took both by surprise

'What going on' Berry thought

"Final question, Do you know where Lisa Rose is?" Richeal asked

"No" Peter replied as the ball didn't change

"THAT IMPOSSIBLE" Berry got up in rage

"Why do you say that" Peter asked innocently letting go of the orb

"I don't know what trick you are pulling but know that I will find out" Berry said as Richeal and Peter steered at him blankly

"But I'm not lying as it showed here so can I leave if all the questing is done" Peter asked before Berry could say 'no'

"Yes there no more questions" Richeal replied as Peter got up from his seat and was about to leave the room before

"Before you leave, do you know if Lisa is alive or not" Berry asked as Peter looked back at him with a smile before saying "Who knows but I will always protect her if she is" and left.
