[i]Luther scratched his scruffy silver beard as he read the book. The cover reads ‘Ungodly desires’. He read under his breath, barely above a whisper.
“Phobos, the god of fear, was the son of Ares. Using fear to control his enemies emotions, giving them conflicting desires, and making sure that his goal was accomplished over all others. A ruthless god, he was sometimes seen as one of the most inhumane-“
“Ahem. Luther?”
Dr. Sophob peered over the edge of the book, staring him down. He wore a red tux, and his normally matted red hair was combed neatly to the left. He didn’t look angry, more like a gentle father. Luther attempted to hide his surprise behind a fake smile.
“Sorry Doctor, I was just doing a little of my own study on break. This project is going to drive me mad... You look fancy. What’s the occasion?”[/i]
[i]”A new breakthrough in the study has been made, and I was hoping you would join me in the conference hall? I would appreciate my prized pupil by my side.”
“I-uh-yes of course sir.”
~This isn’t how he usually acts. And when did I become his prize pupil? I have fantastic grades, but he’s never really talked to me as a pupil, more as something disposable. Whatever, I’ll go with it.~
Luther scratched his head in thought, not seeming to shake this off.
“Is something wrong?”
Dr. Sophob looked at him puzzled, clearly questioning his behavior. Studying him. Watching him.
“No sir, let me head to my dorm to get ready. I’m not in proper attire to be in front of the committee. Ninety minutes tops.”
“You have forty five. Get moving!”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The hot water ran down Luther’s body, calming him. Putting himself at ease for the first time in days it seemed like. He could think clearly, he didn’t feel as angry.
~Maybe this is all I needed. Just a little time to myself. God I hope so, this shit really is getting on my nerves. I could just snap someone’s-~
“Luther! Hurry up! You’ve got fifteen minutes to appear in the committee!”
Anna’s voice interrupted his thoughts, bringing him back to reality. He turned off the water, stepped out of the shower, dried off, and put on his best suit. A beautiful pearl white, one of his only memories of home. He stepped out of the bathroom and rushed down the hall, combing his hair while running.
“You’re welcome for the warning!”
“Thanks Anna!”
He entered the auditorium, and on the stage stood Dr. Sophob. In the aisles sat all of the leaders of the scientific committee for their base.
