318 YOU NEED TO TAKE SOME REST

Zuri needed to go to Killian’s house. Chaos was there, still unconscious and even though Knox was also there and he would never let anything happen to him, she needed to see them.

Where else would she go if it was not to him?

Yet, she couldn’t break through the line of defense created around this sea of fire, as the area was under siege by the military personnel.

From above, there were around six firefighter aircrafts, pouring water down from the sky, in order to put off the fire, but of course, they couldn’t go anywhere near the dragon.

Meanwhile, a lot of firefighters were deployed to help those who were still trapped inside their houses, especially those who lived on higher floors in apartment buildings.

The situation was a complete chaos, where people ran in different directions to save their lives. While there were some of them, who were crying because they got separated from their families or in doldrums because people they loved died in this catastrophe.

Tension was thick in the air and the smell of blood and death hovered very close to them. People shouted orders randomly, until one was unable to make out who or what they were talking about.

This situation brought back memories, bad memories, for Zuri. There was a lot of pain and grief here.

“WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?! BACK AWAY!” One of the soldiers rushed toward Zuri, his face red from all the shouting, delivering a never ending stream of orders to people around him. “GO AWAY FROM HERE!” He shoved Zuri aside, glaring at her viciously, because he didn’t have the patience to deal with her.

.....

Damn it.

Zuri felt like she wanted to bite him down for touching her. The feelings of resentment started to crawl up her skin, but this was not the time for that. She needed to find a way to get to Killian’s house.

“ZURI!” someone called her and when she turned around, she saw a woman, in her early thirties with curly black hair, waving her hand from inside a car. “COME HERE! HURRY!”

Zuri frowned, but she didn’t know who this woman was, yet she knew her name and called her as if they had known each other for a long time.

“DON’T BE DUMBFOUNDED! COME HERE!” The woman clicked her tongue in irritation. “I AM NORBEAT!”

Only after Zuri heard that did she start to run toward the car, leaving the mad soldier behind her, before he could shove her again. Probably, he would kick her this time.

“Norbeat?” Zuri wanted to make sure, as she entered the car and put on her seatbelt. She looked at the woman closely. She was stunned to say the least. “You are a woman now?”

The last time she saw him, he was in a young boy’s body, after he left the little boy.

“Yeah, the other body is burned,” he said simply, as he gritted his teeth to go through these people that kept running in front of the car. “We need to go by foot. We will not go anywhere by car.”

Norbeat turned off the engine and then got off the car, followed by Zuri.

“I have checked this area, we can’t go through this,” Zuri said, as she ran behind Norbeat. The woman was so tall and well built. “You got any ideas?”

“No, I can’t think of anything now.” Norbeat then stopped running and then faced Zuri. He stopped all of a sudden and made her almost bump into him. “But, can you sense Chaos’ whereabouts? He could have woken up and could be anywhere.”

“No, I can’t do that.” Zuri shook her head. She could smell his scent from a certain distance, but it was impossible to sense exactly where he was when the distance between them was so great.

“Damn it,” Norbeat cursed under his breath, he tossed away his long and curly hair in annoyance. He hated taking women’s bodies who had long hair, but he didn’t have any other choice.

“Hey, I have an idea,” Zuri said, as she stared at the bunch of soldiers that guarded the perimeter, so no one would be able to cross it, as they tried to minimize the damage, while waiting for the reinforcements from Artzees country to come.

“What is it?” Norbeat came closer to Zuri to hear what she was going to say.

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

Nathen, Gael’s right hand man, entered the room and found Lise standing next to a floor to ceiling window. He slowly approached her.

“You shouldn’t stand here. The weather is cold,” Nathen said with concern, as he draped a blanket over her shoulders.

Lise looked pale, her body was so fragile and very thin right now, as her condition didn’t get any better even after all the treatment. Right now, she looked like she was going to give up.

Two years ago, she was diagnosed with cancer and even now, her condition didn’t look like it was getting any better.

She was wearing a knitted hat to hide her bald head. As her hair kept falling, a month ago, she decided to cut off her long hair. Gael was devastated to see her like this and he had been very agitated to get back their daughter, since that was the only thing that Lise wanted. Her last wish.

Therefore, he had become very reckless, pushing Vanesha to execute their plan ahead of time.

“Where is Gael?” Lise asked, her voice was so small and sounded very exhausted.

And as if he knew that Lise wanted to see him, Gael entered the room and immediately made a beeline toward her. He scooped his woman in his arms.

“I told you to not walk around, you need to rest.” Gael’s voice sounded deeper and bleak. This was one of the reasons why he no longer looked as easy going as he used to be.
