Even when crying Ciel tried his best not to be annoying or too loud, his tears were just slipping from his eyes silently yet it made everyone stop talking and look at him .
Lexie removed her hand from his shoulder and went to stand in front of him, she ignored everything that was going on between Isiah and Eijar.
She knew that he didn't want them to be with him, she found it justified given the circumstances however she didn't want him to go and act this rude in front of Ciel.
Ciel was just a little kid and he was taking him as a role model, and this way he was going to make him very sad .
Lexie knew that Ciel was not going to be satisfied with staying with her and that he was going to follow him no matter what, and that is why she had to fix the problem .
Because of all the beating she got from that mage even though her voice was too quiet, he strangled her neck and for that, her vocal cords got hurt too.
" You are a good kid, and there is no need for me to tell him that , he knows this "
Lexie extended her hand toward him while leaning in front of him on her knees, she was going to wipe his tears when he just backed off leaving her hand in the air then said intermittently:" I am not crying "
He wiped his tears so fast just to prove to Isiah that he was not a bad kid and that he was not going to be a spoiled kid when he would be with him .
"It is fine to cry, Ciel, there is nothing wrong with crying , you are a little kid, no one would tell you otherwise, even grownups cry when they are just sad and things are too much for them "
She just removed her hand from his way then stood again and turned around to face Isiah, she was in a bad state.
'He may be disgusted even by looking at me, I don't want to talk to him yet the kid is not going to listen to me anymore if I don't do my best to help him with what he really wants'
Isiah's eyes were focused only on Ciel. Since he started crying he kept looking at him silently, he didn't move , not even for a second , his whole attention was focused on him .
"Isiah " She said to grab his attention.
However, the moment Isiah heard her calling his name that way, he looked at her with a lot of anger.
She realized that Isiah was only in rage because of her and not because of Ciel, she was the only unwanted thing there and she hated how that felt .
"I am leaving right now, but, I think I owe Ciel to ask you to take him with you "
Since she started to talk, Isiah started to grind his teeth, his anger was showing on all his face, and he just couldn't contain it .
"I fuc***ing asked you not address me, clearly you think I am joking, you fucking wh**re, I am not your friend, not your savior, and nothing is relating me to you, why do you think that you have some kind of privilege over me ? "
Isiah said while he threw the grimoire away , it was still attached to him but he didn't care, he was blinded by anger as he was walking fast toward Lexie …
Lexie knew that he was going to hurt her, the look in his eyes was not very promising but she couldn't move with the state of her body..
She just closed her eyes the moment she felt that she was so close to her .
"Fucking who***e" Isiah said as he strangled her with his hand, he was very strong, she just looked so small compared to him.
He pushed her while in that position toward the tree behind her, Ciel grabbed him from his leg and started to ask him to release her but he was so willing to hurt her .
"I can't even stand looking at you"
When Isiah said that Lexie felt real pain in her heart, it was way more troubling than the pain that comes with suffocating with his hand on her neck.
"If…killing me …is …going to bring ….you some peace…do it" Lexie said while struggling to speak.
"Leave her alone, she didn't do anything, Lexie is nice, she is one of us, you can't just do this every time she speaks to you," Ciel said while still trying to push Isiah again .
Eijar said at that moment :" I hear something "
Isiah ignored her because he was too focused on hurting Lexie when she added :" There is a monster near us, they are getting closer "
Isiah heard the last sentence she said so he looked away and started to focus his senses to confirm what she said.
"Ah like we need more inconvenience "
Isiah approached Lexie till their eyes became very close then said:" The only thing that would bring me peace is to kill you several times, one time is just not enough"
Lexie started to cry because she felt like she was under so much pressure. Isiah was the person that changed the game for her, however, she always kept pushing her thoughts toward him away.
She followed what her parents and people said, she was convinced that being away from him was going to do her good.
But the moment she knew that he might be alive she thought that she finally got the chance to treat him right only to realize that it was over for her .
"We hurt you, I hurt you, I am not asking for forgiveness but let me help you".
Isiah released her and tried to find a way to fight but she took the hand he was strangling her with and said:``I lived for them my whole life, now , I want to do what I really want ".
Isiah was not even looking at her, he just pushed her away and then said:" Fu***k off, run away, or I'll kill you right now "
"Ah, do you feel the dark energy?" Eijar said .
Isiah turned around after a lot of focus and then said:" At least I am sure that he is not a giant or a hellhound, so no worries "
Ciel walked toward Isiah and took his hand then said:" Why are you acting this way?
"Go away "
Despite all of the pain that Isiah felt because of that hunger, he just stood there waiting for the thing that was moving toward them so fast .
In the beginning, he thought that this creature was definitely not a powerful one but when he felt his speed he knew that he was in a messed-up situation .
" He is fast," Eijar said .
Only a few seconds later there stood the creature that gave Isiah shills when he first saw him in Summit .
" The big mouth creature, we should just resume our fight from where we left in Summit," Isiah said.
Lexie and Ciel were terrified because it was the first time they had seen a dark creature, and this one looked very scary and abnormal.
Isiah glared at Ciel at that moment because he wanted him out of here, if he stayed with her he was only going to be a distraction for him .
' There is no doubt that I will kill every person on my way, I swear there is nothing that is going to stop me, a human soul worth nothing to me, yet …this kid …this kid is making feel, and I hate this if only I didn't meet him, if only I haven't shared with him those moments, then and only then I would kill him so easily
Isiah looked at Eijar and said: "Take him to that place, if anything happens to him, I will eat you alive"
Unlike all the other times Eijar just bowed her head to him and then said :"Yes, master ….and her ? "
" Only the kid, " He said firmly while looking at Lexie .
Eijar went to Ciel's wrist and started to pull him away even when he was not okay with leaving Lexie behind, but Eijar just used some force to pull him away.
Isiah was not going to leave her to live another day if something happened to him .
The big mouth creature approached Isiah very fast while his mouth was moving automatically, its mouth was opening and closing alternatively and very fast. Isiah knew what he was capable of and that is why he took his grimoire again and tried to cast a spell.
Lexie started to move away behind him, she couldn't even run away so she just stayed behind a tree .
She knew that she was not protected and that she was going to die the moment the creature reached her.
She closed her eyes and kept listening to the noises of that fight .
Isiah was speaking a language that she didn't understand, casting one spell after another …
' I wish that I was strong, I wouldn't be hiding this way, I am very pathetic '
