"Can I touch your hair?" The boy named Nikolai, and was a new student in Blue's school, had been fascinated by her white hair and would tail behind her everywhere she went.

Actually, Blue didn't mind him being curious about her. She didn't get along well with the other students. While most of them didn't want to have trouble with her, the rest were simply afraid of her. Whether it was because of her fierceness or her family background.

But, the thing that bothered her was the fact that he had a piece of Chaos' shattered soul…

What should she do about this?

Unlike before, Blue didn't let Knox know about it and was slightly relieved because Chaos had not yet returned since the last time she dreamed about him. Actually, Blue was not sure whether that was a dream or not…

"Okay," Blue said, she let the boy, who was shorter than her and was so skinny, touch her hair when they were in the locker room.

Miraculously, their lockers were next to each other. It had been a week since they met for the first time and during that time, the boy only talked to her.

Apparently, he didn't get along quite well with the other student either. He was too small and looked so weak for his age, thus no boys wanted to ask him to join any physical games.

"Your hair is very soft…" he gushed, touching her long hair with care. His dark blue eyes glimmered in adoration.

"Thank you," Blue said, locking her locker and then slung her bag over her left shoulder. "You won't come to math class?" she asked.

Nikolai dropped his hand and shook his head. "I have a tournament coming up next month, so I need to practice."

Nikolai was a pianist, he was able to enter this prestigious school because of his talent, not because of his family name. Maybe that was another reason why he didn't get along with the other students too well.

Blue nodded and was about to walk away when Nikolai stopped her and made her turn around.

"Do you want to see me play the piano?" he asked.

"And skip the math class?" Blue tilted her head.

Lise tossed and turned in her sleep, she curled her body under the blanket because she felt cold, but then she got rid of the covers because it was too hot.

She didn't know what was happening to her, but she didn't feel good about herself. Thankfully, Gael didn't visit her as often as before.

The man started to learn how to give her space, as long as she was still within his eyesight and under his control.

Probably it was because their wedding would be held in less than a week, thus it gave him a sense of relief, thinking that once he married her, Lise would be completely his.

However, for Lise, the closer her wedding day got, the more anxious she became.

The small bottle that was given to her, which consisted of poison, was still inside her bag, kept away safely inside a small compartment, so no one would find it.

Lise still couldn't decide whether she would do it or not. She tried to think of using something else, such as a sleeping pill, so she wouldn't need to kill Gael.

But, she doubted that it would work on a non- human being like him.

Lise stared at the ceiling, she couldn't close her eyes and realized that her body was very tense. Even as the warm light of the sun illuminated the room, she was still in the same position. One could say that she was only a step away from losing her mind.

And when the room was bright and the light stung her eyes, Lise felt her stomach churning and all of a sudden she felt an urge to vomit because of the fuggy smell that was brought by the wind.

The next thing that Lise knew was her bending over the closet and vomiting her guts out…

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

Blue opened her eyes when she heard Anne's voice, as she shook her body gently to wake her up.

"It's time to wake up, or you will be late for school." Anne stopped shaking her when she saw Blue groaning before her eyes fluttered open. The girl slowly sat down, while rubbing her sleepy eyes. Her long white hair was a mess, like a bird nest on top of her head.

"I am awake…" Blue said meekly.

"Great!" Anne then stood up and walked toward the door. "Don't fall asleep again, young lady," she warned her before she exited the room.

Blue grunted and curled her body, wanting to close her eyes for one more minute, but then she caught a whiff of his scent.

Yet, this time it was too strong, as if he was nearby.

In a flash, Blue's eyes opened wide and she sat up straight, just to find Chaos standing in front of her desk, staring at her homework with his back facing her.

"Anne said to not fall asleep again," Chaos said in a hoarse voice. He still had his back facing her.

"I am awake," Blue said, rubbing her face roughly and jumped down from her bed. Her drowsiness was long gone.

"Good morning Blue," Chaos greeted her, tilting his head when she came to stand beside him.

"What are you doing in my room?" Blue asked, she was aware that her voice sounded too defensive and it didn't go unnoticed by him.

This time, he turned his body to face her and stared into her hazel eyes intensely. He looked like someone who was trying to read the other person's mind and the little girl was starting to imagine that he could do so.

"Are you hiding something from me, Blue?" Chaos asked, and he knew she lied to him when she replied in a heartbeat.

"No."
