435 I NEED YOUR HELP

“Chaos is looking for you!” Norbeat finally managed to catch up with her, she walked so fast! Was someone chasing her? Or, she simply didn’t want to see him?

historical

But it seemed it was the latter.

“I will meet him at dinner, there is something I want to talk about with him too,” Zuri said, she needed to talk about Flo. Chaos needed that girl, but the relationship between the girl and July made things a little bit complicated for them now.

But, after rethinking about this, Knox must have known about Flo’s identity, though he didn’t have the same ability as Zuri. He had been searching for Chaos’s shattered souls for decades, if it was not for centuries, thus he should have his own other method to figure it out.

“No, Chaos wants you to see him now and a little girl.” Norbeat blocked her, forcing her to walk away from him. “You go first to Chaos, he is in the library, along with the other people, I will go to find the little girl.”

Zuri stood there in silence, as Norbeat stepped aside and was about to go look for Flo.

“I have met her,” Zuri said, as she turned around to face Norbeat. “You don’t need to find her, July will take her to Chaos.”

Norbeat blinked his eyes in confusion, but then the realization hit him. “So, you know? You already knew about the girl, right? She is indeed Chaos’s shattered soul, right?”

“Do I need to answer that question?” Zuri frowned because the way Norbeat asked her made her feel like she was being interrogated.

.....

“You don’t need to answer that if you don’t want to,” Norbeat said in a dejected tone and then added under his breath, grumbling. “Do you really think July will comply and bring the girl to him? Don’t be so na?ve, you don’t know the depth of attachment July feels toward that girl, even Knox has been trying to hide that fact from us, as if we are a bunch of fools.”

Zuri looked at him a little bit longer, as if she was contemplating the words that she wanted to say. “Don’t bother them, let July bring the girl to us later.”

“You don’t listen to me, do you?” Norbeat said in frustration. It had only been a couple of hours since she was in this manor, Zuri didn’t understand how July treated that little girl. “There is no way she will bring her to us!”

“Be quiet, you are giving me a headache.” Zuri frowned.

“It has been a long time and yet your attitude is only getting worse,” Norbeat mumbled under his breath because he was annoyed with the way Zuri judged this situation. It was not as simple as that.

“I heard that one, Norbeat.” Hazel raised her brows when she heard that. “Should I tell Chaos that we don’t need you anymore and he can absorb his soul from you?”

Hearing that, Norbeat immediately changed the topic. “You just returned, you have not yet met with White, right? The wolf misses you, should we go to see her now?”

Ah, right. White...

The wolf that she left behind, she thought the wolf had died because of what happened in Kalee city and Norbeat was too careless to take care of it.

“Where is she?” Zuri asked.

“Come here, come here!” Norbeat immediately led the way. He was not afraid of Zuri, nor did he like her, but he was afraid of the influence she had on Chaos. If she asked Chaos to take back his soul right now, he would definitely agree to her request.

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

“What happened, July?” Sebastian saw how panicked July was, as she tried to get into the car as soon as possible with Flo with her. He immediately approached her.

The relationship between them couldn’t be said to have returned to normal, but at the very least, they were trying to stay civil. Neither of them talked about what Sebastian had done when they were about to cross the border to East Draghar country.

They treated that as something taboo to talk about, especially now when Knox had returned and slowly began to recover, July would always be with him and it was rare to see her without him.

“Sebastian,” July said, she looked frustrated and he knew that look.

“How can I help you?” Sebastian knew her so well, to tell that she needed help, but it was complicated enough for her to not want to give him more details.

“This...”

“You don’t need to explain this to me right now, just tell me what you need me to do.” Shit! Sebastian fell back into the same routine again, letting her play with his own feelings.

He wanted to avoid her, but every time he saw that she was in a difficult situation or alone, he couldn’t help but come closer to her again and again. It was actually very foolish of him.

On the other hand, July gritted her teeth when she heard that. “I need to go to district six, to the witch’s place. I need to meet Ciara, but I want you to call Flo’s parents to meet me there, but don’t let anyone know about this, can you do that?”

Sebastian opened his mouth, he was about to ask her what was going on, but then he swallowed his question and then nodded. “Okay.” He agreed without any more questions because he knew July didn’t need that right now.

“Thank you,” July said softly before she entered the car and drove away from the manor, heading to the witch’s place.

As soon as July left, Sebastian rushed to where Flo’s parents were. He didn’t know why July was like that, but the only thing in his mind right now was to fulfil his promise to her.

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

July stopped the car right in front of the witch’s place, as she opened the car door and carried Flo in her arms. She climbed the stairs and when she opened the front door, Ciara and the other three witches were already waiting for her there.

“You knew that I would come?” July was no longer surprised. Most of the time, Ciara would know whenever she wanted to visit her, thus this was not something new to her.

“Yes.” Ciara nodded to the other three witches, who then faded away, as if they evaporated into thin air.

“Do you know why I came here?” July asked again, she glanced over her shoulder, looking for Sebastian’s car that would bring Flo’s parents with him.

“Yes.” Ciara nodded solemnly. “Over here.” The witch led their way to one of the rooms, and July remembered it was the same room as when she met Aaron before. “He has been waiting for you.”

July bit her lips when she heard that. She was not thrilled to meet Aaron again. After that day, this would be their fourth time meeting.

She wanted to have Knox’s child and Ciara said the devil could help her, but Knox and her had not been intimate recently, since he was still recovering from when he visited East Draghar, thus there was no point in meeting Aaron often.

July was not stupid, she could figure out the relationship between the McKeltars and this devil, but she had made the first mistake, she had made a deal with the devil and she didn’t have many choices right now, except to go through with it.

This was the kind of deal that you couldn’t break off.

It was her mistake to succumb to the devil’s temptation in the first place.

“July, it has been a long time since I last saw you,” Aaron said with open arms, as his golden eyes fixed on the little girl in her arms and a smile tugged on the corners of his lips. “Chaos’s shattered soul...” he sighed when he said those words, as if he was satisfied to see what July brought with her.

“I need your help,” July said. She stilled her heart. She knew this was wrong. She knew what she was doing right now, but even so, she couldn’t help it. She simply didn’t want the little girl to die. She had been so attached to her and took care of her like her own daughter, something that she shouldn’t have done in the first place.

Something that she should have stopped doing a long time ago, especially when Knox said Flo was Chaos’s shattered soul.

Chaos was away, no one knew when he would return, so she thought it would be fine, she would have a lot of time to be with Flo, but today, Chaos returned to this land...

“I want you to save her.” July hugged Flo tightly, as the little girl peaked from behind her long black hair, staring at the devil and then smiled, a small gesture that July failed to see.

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

White jumped the moment she saw Zuri and almost knocked her down to the ground if it was not for Norbeat, who held her.

“See? I didn’t wrong her and fed her well,” he said smugly, yet Zuri didn’t recognize that, as she was busy running her fingers through White’s soft fur. “Where have you gone after you disappeared in Kalee city?”

They didn’t try to find her or Chaos at that time, because they knew there was no way they could do something in that situation.

Hearing that question, Zuri stopped her movements for a while, as she smiled softly. “I lived in a far away village, trying to live a normal life.”
