199 GET OUT

Zuri entered Chaos’ room with breakfast in her hands and saw him standing near the window.

He was in his blue pants, while his shirt lay on the bed. His long, black hair fluttered by the wind. His shoulder was bandaged tightly. He had two wounds because she dug her claws into him.

Zuri paused her step for a while, before she approached the table and put his breakfast down. Chaos must have known that she was inside the room, but didn’t show any reaction at all. He looked at the garden out there, or that was how it looked in Zuri’s eyes.

“Nikolai got a few stitches,” Zuri said to break the silence. She had wrecked her head to think about how to strike a conversation with Chaos, but there were not many proper ideas that came to her mind.

And that little information that Zuri told him, didn’t amuse him a little bit. He kept his expression stoic, without any emotion swirling in those dark eyes.

Zuri bit her lip, she stood beside the table and shoved her hands inside the pockets of her pants. “I am sorry,” she said finally after a few minutes of silence. “But, I will still not forgive you if you kill Nikolai.”

“I don’t need your sorry,” Chaos said coldly and this made Zuri’s heart beat so fast to assume he hated her for hurting him over and over. “Get out of this room.”

Chaos said that without even turning back to see Zuri, but what was the point of that when he couldn’t even see her?

historical

And yet, the way he chased her out gave an affliction to her heart.

.....

“You need to eat,” Zuri murmured and then walked out of the room, leaving Chaos alone with the breakfast on the table.

Chaos closed his eyes when he heard the door being closed and he was alone again. His stoic expression crumbled and now he looked exhausted and pale. He breathed raggedly.

He could hear the pain in her voice when she said that.

====================

Gael stopped at one of the facilities belonging to The Hound, where the government and Archie Williams had created soldiers that would wipe out all the supernatural creatures from this realm.

In their eyes, those non human beings were a threat to humans.

“Is it here?” Gael asked, and he stopped the car not too far from a white building that was under tight surveillance.

“Yes,” Nathen confirmed.

Gael had taken Nathen with him when he received a phone call from Lise. She told him that she was in one of The Hound’s facilities, where they were running a few experiments on the shifters and any other supernatural creatures.

Lise was fine, Sol kept her out of those scientists, who insisted on running a thorough check on her because she was the mother of their new experimental subject, who was none other than his daughter.

Those scientists didn’t know what she was, since she couldn’t be classified as a shifter, vampire or witch.

Gael saw red, his blood boiled in anger when he heard how those pests referred to his daughter as their new experimental subject. How dare they lay their hands on his daughter when he had barely held her in his arms?

Lise just gave birth to River when Gael left her to help Knox find Chaos and then it took eight whole years to return.

Gael didn’t have a chance to watch her take her first step or even hear her say her first word. He knew practically nothing about his daughter, except for the fact that she existed, but those scum had caught his wife and daughter and experimented on her and their baby.

“Gael, what are you going to do?” Nathen asked Gael worriedly. He looked at the man with troubled eyes. He learned eight years ago from July that Gael was a supernatural creature, that the whole McKeltar family was a family of supernatural creatures, aside from Anne.

At that time, July was trying to gather all the power that she could have to create the organization that went against The Hound. Not all the supernatural creatures were as atrocious as Archie Williams portrayed.

But aside from that, July’s main goal was; she wanted to create a safe place for The McKeltars to return, though at that time, she didn’t know when it would happen.

The first three years were horrible, where Nathen witnessed how July gained her position now with blood and more blood.

But sometimes, cruelty was needed to keep everything in line. That was how this world worked now.

“I will take my family back,” Gael growled deeply as he turned off the engine and then walked out of the car.

Nathen shouldn’t be surprised by what Gael said, since he knew that he came here to get Lise and River back, but his biggest concern was; how?!

“Gael!” Nathen jumped out of the car and chased after him. “How can you take them back? You don’t think that you can take down all those people and enter the building as you please, right?”

Even when Nathen said that, it sounded ridiculous, but from the look in Gael’s eyes, it seemed that was exactly what he was going to do.

====================

Eros chose to stay in a shelter house with Emily, since he didn’t want to go to a foster house again and this little girl didn’t want to be separated from him.

They ran from that house after Eros lost his control on his beast and killed the two people, who were supposed to be their foster parents.

At that time, Emily witnessed all of that, but she refused to be left alone and wanted to be with Eros instead, since it was only Eros, the only person that she knew, aside from their ‘parents’.

But then, living in this shelter house was not easy and her condition became worse, she started to get sick often and little Eros didn’t know what to do.
