Chapter 196 - 196.Not wanting to grow up

Kendra missed Isaa, her parents and her own world. She knew they were safe inside the world but still missed them. She realized a while ago while she couldn't get rid of her child's appearance. It was not that she stubbornly wanted to look like a child, she still wanted to feel like one.

In her past life, she had a horrible childhood and boring life after that. Now she had people that love her and she just wanted to enjoy that a bit longer. So what if she is still a child? Her body can grow but can her feeling that she wanted to feel motherly love and fatherly care disappear just like that? Maybe after she gets out of this world she might stay inside her space for a few more years and just enjoy being a child. She will have two grown-up brothers, a bothersome sister and so many people that will cover her with love.

Her lonely figure stood on top of the hill and stared at the faraway seaside while she remembered her time with Isaa. A small drop of tears slid down her cheeks and she started crying for the first time since she came here. ''I don't want to grow up. If I grow up everyone has those messy things in their heads. I can't be certain of no one's feelings. Isn't it better to be just loved by own family? Why should I grow up....I don't wanna...''

Her broken words could be heard through her breaths and the man behind her felt heavy as he had no idea what to do with her. He knew he couldn't touch her now or she would turn into something both would not want in this world.

Trough his eyes crossed shine and suddenly a small smile appeared on his lips. She is finished, finally! With a snap of his fingers, a woman appeared not far away and saw the two people not far away from her.

She was about to say something when he pressed his finger on his lips and pointed at Kendra. Then he gave her a small smile and nod and disappeared. Help her, she missed you and family. I am happy you finished your task on time. It was about time... His words resounded in Isaa's head as she saw last sparks of him disappearing.

She slowly approached Kendra and hugged her tightly. ''I am back, brother...''

Felling Isaa's hug and hearing her voice Kendra started crying even harder. Actually girls came to pick her up as she was here alone for a long time so they became worried about her, but found this situation.

Isaa turned her head and stared at them furiously. ''What actually happened that she is crying this much. Kendra is one of the people that never cries. Speak!''

But what could they say? They had no idea what actually caused the child to cry.

Only Kimi came in front and sighed. ''It seems we rely on her too much. She is thinking about all of us, about our safety, our future and survival. It was probably too much pressure.''

Isaa shook her head. ''That can't be. She handled worse situations in our world that tiny bit of world-building. There has to be something bigger. What could it be?''

But even Kimi had no idea. They waited for Kendra to stop crying in Isaa's hands. With quick steps Isaa brought her to the village under help of girls.

As soon the boys saw Isaa coming with Kendra out the forest with dark expression their heart almost stopped. Did something happen to her? They were careless to let her go alone in the forest. Did she got hurt?

But all their questions were not answered as the girls had no idea as well. All they could do is to give her some water to drink and let her rest as she fell asleep as soon as she finished crying.

Isaa came out of the room and stopped in front of them with pressed lips. ''I am sure that you haven't made her work hard. There has to be something that is heavy on her heart and is making her miss our parents dearly. This is the first time I see her since... forever. Do you understand that the thing in her head is bigger than everyone is thinking about? Could you all tell me what have you talk about lately with her.''

Everyone told her about their talks with her as she had many questions about their worlds but when Kimi told her her chat, Isaa's expression changed and she stood up. Her face became pale and she turned her head to look for that damnable person.

''Damn idiot. Now I know why is she crying! Get here now and tell me is it the truth. Is this world meant for THAT !?'' She screamed but he didn't appear at all. All he could do is sit next to Kendra and hold her tiny hand.

''I told you its fine if you are a child. I was just teasing you while ago. Why did you take my words so seriously? Small fool. I will not let anyone harm you. That is the reason I let you have your basic powers back. Your real powers.'' He wished away a small tear from the corner of her eye as it tried to escape as well.

Isaa entered the room and could see sparks disappearing from the room and her anger rose. Unfortunately, she couldn't curse as she wanted to let Kendra sleep longer.

When she came out she could see more people appearing from all sides. It seems more people finished their tasks or the Taskmaster let them finish faster. She sighed deeply as the previous group of people stared at her with serious expressions.

''If Kendra wanted to tell you after everyone is here, so it should be. Let's help newcomers.'' Her words made them realize that things are heavy and it is quite meaningful.
