Chapter 76 - THEIR SOUL

"Of course I can. Knox is dead. He will not be here even if I strangled you to death," Gael said those words viciously. He lied straight to her face without even batting an eye.

Yet, July did not buy it that easily either. "Fine, let me see his dead body then." She strode inside the house, but Gael held her hand, to prevent her from getting further inside. "Why? You are such a bad liar."

She was an actress, if she wanted to lie, she could do it very smoothly, but both of them knew that none of these words made any sense in their situation now.

"I will not let you go inside the house, you can cry all you want right in front of my house and I will not care."

"What if I tell the whole world that you are a supernatural creature? A non human being? Whatever they address you." July lifted her chin arrogantly at Gael. She wouldn't back down until she met him.

Gael narrowed his eyes. "Then what? Do you want to say that yours is a family of hunters that hunted down all the supernatural creatures brutally?"

"Let's do it and see how people will react to that." July knew that she won this argument.

People wouldn't side with the non- human beings, as they saw them as a threat and dangerous creature and them being a family of hunters to kill them all, would be something that she would be proud of.

However, the fact was the opposite. July had never felt like she belonged to her family or inclined to follow in their footsteps to inherit the cruelty of the organization.

It was barbaric to end another creature's life and she was so against that.

Yet, if Gael wanted to take this matter further, she wouldn't back down, even if she had to disclose the biggest secret of her family.

Meanwhile, Anne who was listening from inside the house, had her jaw dropped to the ground at all the information that she heard from them.

What had she just heard? It was too much for her to discern.

"Now, let me see Knox or I will take this matter further, just as you wish." July looked very arrogant, but she played her cards nicely.

While gritting his teeth, Gael glared at her. He didn't want another problem to come in his way when he had to look for Lise. He would find a way to get her back.

And when July proceeded to step into the house again, Gael didn't stop her anymore. Her eyes scanned the room and found an old lady, who was standing not too far from them. She must be Anne, the woman that had been living in their manor since she was only a child.

July was grateful that Knox told her that, so when she approached her and called her by her name, she could witness how shocked she was.

"Anne, can you please take me to Knox's room?" she said sweetly, it was a completely different tone from how she talked to Gael earlier.

The old lady was hesitant, she looked at Gael, who didn't budge from the doorstep, with his back facing her, so she couldn't see the silent instruction that he might give her in this situation.

But then, seeing her hesitation, July stepped in front of her, blocking her view of Gael, so she could focus only on her.

"So, Anne, may I know where Knox's room is?" She repeated her question.

==================== 

Blue felt her whole body was in pain, the excruciating pain made her scream at the top of her lungs when Chaos intended to take her away from this place. He didn't say what kind of place this was, but she didn't like to be here…

"It's painful…" She sobbed when the pain was too hard for her to bear. It was even more painful than when she fell off the building and her body collided with the solid asphalt.

Chaos held her tighter. "The pain will be gone, just focus on me…" he said softly.

Blue followed what he said and put her attention on him and slowly the pain dissipated, but Chaos's body was trembling uncontrollably.

Blue sighed in relief when the pain was no longer gnawing at her alive, but Chaos' expression made her worried. "What happened to you?" She asked when her surroundings turned brighter, the light was so blinding, it left her feeling afraid that she would lose him in this blinding light.

"Hold onto me," Chaos instructed, but his voice was so hard, as if he was trying to press his own emotions, there was something that he felt that he didn't want Blue to know.

And with the blinding light that engulfed them, Blue felt the ground beneath her disappear. she didn't get the answer for her question, as she hugged him tightly. He smelled exactly like what she remembered and it brought comfort to her when she buried her face in his chest…

"Where are we going?" Blue didn't care where they would go, as long as she was with Chaos, she would be fine with it.

"Home," he said.

"I am already home," Blue said sleepily when she snuggled close to him and closed her eyes.

"Yes, so do I," Chaos replied through his gritted teeth.

Their souls had been intertwined since centuries ago, it was only a matter of time when they would meet again, but the part where they had to repeat the history was so regrettable…

With the incomplete soul that Chaos had, he still found a way to get her back and recognized her in his own way…

Even though his soul had been shattered into pieces… he still chose her again with his imperfect soul…

And when the blinding light had disappeared and their surroundings were materialized again, they were inside Knox's room with Blue sleeping peacefully in his arms.

Chaos stared at her sleeping face for a while.
