Deviant: No Longer Human

Wang Xiao, "Can you make a quick stop over there?"

Josephine, slightly puzzled, and William, visibly confused, both looked towards the direction Wang Xiao pointed. "Are we going to the beach?" Josephine asked, her curiosity piqued as she steered the car towards the location.

They reached a relatively secluded area of the beach, a place where it was possible to drive cars right up to the shoreline – an open beach accessible by vehicles.

As they neared the beach, Wang Xiao grinned mischievously. "I've been thinking about taking a piss on open beaches for a while now," he announced with a slight chuckle, his tone light yet carrying an undercurrent of something more.

"Huh?" Josephine reacted, a mix of surprise and disbelief in her voice. She shook her head, deciding not to question his sudden whimsical statement. "Whatever," she muttered, still trying to make sense of Wang Xiao's uncharacteristic behavior.

Little did she know, this moment was more than just a whimsical desire for Wang Xiao. There was an underlying motive, a subtle nod to his inner sadist finding an outlet. It was an odd connection to his past, a time when he had sisters of his own, and this situation with William and Josephine unknowingly mirrored aspects of his own history.

As the car came to a halt near the open beach, the atmosphere inside was suddenly shattered by a startling turn of events.

William's scream pierced the air, a sound of surprise and shock, as Wang Xiao, with an unexpected and swift movement, grabbed and hurled him far into the sea.

Whoosh!

"Wha— No! Stop!" William's voice was a mix of disbelief and fear as he was swiftly lifted and thrown, his words cut short by the splash into the water.

Splash!

Josephine, utterly shocked and bewildered, spun towards Wang Xiao, her eyes wide with disbelief and panic. "What are you doing?!" she exclaimed, her voice rising in a mixture of confusion and horror.

Standing calmly by the shore, Wang Xiao looked back at Josephine with an unreadable expression. "He needed to cool off," he stated nonchalantly, as if his actions were nothing out of the ordinary.

Meanwhile, William, who had surfaced in the water, was sputtering and coughing, his initial shock now turning into anger and confusion.

As a decent swimmer, he managed to keep himself afloat, but the surprise of the situation was evident. "Are you insane?!" he yelled back towards the shore, his voice echoing his disbelief and fury.

Josephine, torn between her concern for William and her shock at Wang Xiao's behavior, rushed towards the water's edge. "William, are you okay?" she called out, her voice shaky with worry.

Wang Xiao glanced at both Josephine and William, a slight smile playing on his lips, his demeanor unsettlingly calm in contrast to the chaos he had just caused. "It's strange..." he murmured to himself, almost contemplatively, "There are tons of guards in secret to protect Josephine, but none for this little piece of work?"

His comment, more to himself than anyone else, hinted at a deeper calculation behind his seemingly impulsive act.

Meanwhile, William staggered back to shore, drenched and visibly shaken. His usual bravado was replaced by a look of horror and confusion. Water dripped from his clothes, creating small puddles around his feet as he confronted Wang Xiao, his eyes wide with a mix of anger and disbelief.

William, shivering and still trying to regain his composure, glared at Wang Xiao. "What's your problem, man?" he demanded, his usual confidence overshadowed by the shock of the experience

Wang Xiao's response to William's challenge was both calm and intimidating. "One should pick fights carefully," he warned, his voice even but his eyes sharp and unyielding. "Do you want to get thrown again to catch some fishes? This time, I might throw you into a different part of the sea!"

In the tense aftermath of Wang Xiao's startling display of dominance, William's usual confidence was nowhere to be seen.

He retreated shivering in the car, his mind racing. 'Who the heck is this guy?' he thought, glancing furtively at Wang Xiao, who had casually threatened to toss him into a different part of the sea.

The realization that Wang Xiao could effortlessly throw him such a distance was both horrifying and baffling.

Josephine stood by, her internal conflict evident. She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it, torn between defending her brother and her complex feelings towards Wang Xiao.

The usual clarity with which she navigated her life seemed clouded in that moment.

Wang Xiao, unfazed by the turmoil he had stirred, nonchalantly suggested, "I'll drive." His voice was calm, but there was an underlying command that Josephine instinctively obeyed, albeit with a sense of confusion and unease.

As they settled into the car, Wang Xiao with an assertive yet playful demeanor, had Josephine sit atop him.

His hands, casually placed on her waist, confidently maneuvered the steering wheel. Josephine, her face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and surprise, attempted to focus on the road, though Wang Xiao's proximity was distracting.

William, still in the backseat, watched the unusual scene in silence. His mind was a whirlwind of questions and concerns about Wang Xiao's true nature and intentions.

The situation in the car felt alien to him, and he struggled to make sense of his sister's subdued response to Wang Xiao's bold behavior.

Josephine, trying to steady her racing heart, managed to stammer, "Xiao, this... this isn't necessary. I can sit in the passenger seat."

Wang Xiao, with a playful glint in his eye, responded, "Nonsense. We're perfectly fine like this. Aren't we, Josephine?" His tone was light, but there was an edge to it that suggested he was enjoying the control and the mild discomfort he was causing.

"Huh?"

Josephine, caught off guard by Wang Xiao's sudden provocativeness, felt a rush of emotions. Her cheeks turned a deeper shade of red, her heart pounding rapidly. She was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond to this bold, uncharacteristic side of Wang Xiao

"..."

'Bastard!' William, from the backseat, watched with a mix of shame and anger. He felt a sense of helplessness, a realization that he was powerless in this situation.

The sight of Wang Xiao's hands casually slipping inside Josephine's clothes was deeply unsettling. It seemed to William that Wang Xiao was intentionally provoking him, flaunting his influence over Josephine.

In that moment, William, the little prince of the Sylvergard family, felt a profound sense of helplessness.

The realization that he was powerless to intervene or protect his sister in this situation was a bitter pill to swallow.

Yet, as the graceful bird willingly fluttered her winds and flew right into the trap, what could he, a mere boy, possibly hope to change?

It was as if destiny itself had conspired against him.

At this alarming pace, he pondered with a mix of disbelief and resignation, he might soon find himself taking on the unexpected role of an uncle, a circumstance he had never imagined in his wildest dreams.
