The situation is a little bit complicated right now, since Chaos returned with Blue after saving her from death and released many underworld creatures into this realm.
And one important thing that Knox noticed was; somehow Blue attracted those creatures with her presence alone, they were trying to have their hands on this little girl and as for the reason behind it, Knox was yet to figure it out.
"I don't want to go to them!" Blue cried, she was throwing a tantrum now. She felt like if she stayed with them, she would never be able to see Knox and Gael, but the most important person for her was Chaos… she had been waiting for him. "You said you will never let them take me!"
"I never said that," Knox retorted. He indeed promised Chaos to take care of her and this was his way to fulfill his promise.
"Blue…" Anne tried to help calming down the frantic little girl. "I will go with you too," she said.
"No, let's go somewhere else, I don't want to go to my uncle's pack." It was still clear in her mind how her uncle had tried to take her by force to go with him. She didn't think that they would be so kind to let her go to find Chaos.
And Blue didn't want to leave before she met him.
"I am not going with you!" Blue yelled furiously, as she opened the door and jumped out of the car.
"BLUE!" Anne screamed in panic when she saw that and was not able to stop her.
"Sh*t!" Knox cursed under his breath, as he slammed the breaks. "Take the car from here, I will find you later.
Fortunately, the car didn't run too fast because they were in a traffic jam, but the little girl ran too fast and if Knox didn't find her soon, he would completely lose her.
"D*mn! What is in her mind!" Knox slammed the car door closed and let Anne take it over, as he chased after Blue.
There was a lot of honking from the protesting cars because he stopped in the middle of the road and Knox just rushed across the street, almost causing an accident.
By good luck, no one noticed that it was Knox McKeltar, the very person that had been filling the headlines for the past two days.
======================
Nikolai walked to the school dispiritedly, as he kept looking at his back or stayed at his locker for a long time until the bell rang and he was late to go to his class.
But even so, Blue had not yet appeared. It had been two days since the attack at the McKeltar manor and the only family member of McKeltar that could be reached was Gael McKeltar, the businessman, but it was hard to get an explanation from him, since most of the time it was their PR personnel, who spoke for the McKeltar family.
They kept saying that the attack was a mistake, and were implicitly saying they were not supernatural creatures.
Of course, Nikolai knew the truth, but he would say nothing.
The little boy sat in his math class, but every now and then he would stare at the empty seat beside him and feel bad. He really wanted to know if Blue was all right.
It was impossible for him to go and meet Gael McKeltar if even those competent news reporters couldn't reach him.
Therefore, he could only wait for her to show up one day, or maybe he would never see her again… he felt sadness washing over him.
It was more painful than the fresh wounds that he got from his father this morning because he refused to play the piano.
His father had become even crazier now, since he lost his job and drank away his days.
===============
A maid named Marnie helped Lise to get dressed, because she was too weak to get up from bed and refused Gael's presence.
And for some reason, that man had not yet appeared for days now, as if he was trying to hold back his ego for not seeing Lise, as he buried himself in the problems around the attack on the McKeltar manor.
The building was being investigated now and he couldn't live there until the air was clear. It was still a mystery why The Hound had not yet pointed the McKeltar out loud as the supernatural creatures, since they had all the evidence to support that fact.
However this afternoon, apparently Gael couldn't stay calm any longer, as he visited Lise in her room.
She was standing in front of the full body mirror, staring at her bulging stomach with an empty gaze after Marnie helped her to get dressed.
She was wearing a cheerful yellow dress, but even that bright color couldn't overshadow the dark cloud over her expression.
Gael stepped into the room and stayed near the door, watching her.
On the other hand, once Marnie caught sight of Gael, she immediately scurried away from the room and closed the door, leaving the two of them alone.
"Why did you choose me?" Finally, after days, Lise decided to start talking to Gael, even though she still refused to look him right in the eyes.
"I don't." Gael approached her slowly. He gave her time to adjust with his presence and was even ready to back away if she felt uncomfortable.
But when he saw Lise didn't give any reaction, he walked closer to her until he was standing beside that woman.
Gael longed to touch her, but he didn't do it. He didn't force his way like he used to in the past.
"I don't choose you. I love you and I don't have a say in this matter." Gael stared at her stomach and his gaze softened.
"Is it hard for you to not love me?"
"It almost kills me."
"I hope you will die."
