Chapter 443 - THIRTEEN YEARS OLD (7)

Alyssa whipped her head toward Aidan and frowned. "I don't know if your eyes are golden." Yet, she shrugged that fact off. "Whatever, let's find Sebastian."

Alyssa tugged her hand away from Hope, but she didn't want to release her and this really pissed her off. "Hope, I don't know what is wrong with you! If you don't want to go, I will go alone!" Alyssa snapped at her. 

A smile pulled on the corner of Aidan's lips. "Yes, Hope. Why don't you leave her alone, so we can talk?" his voice was slightly hoarse and deep, but Alyssa didn't notice that. 

She tugged her hand hard from Hope and immediately dashed away from her and Aidan while shouting over her shoulder. "I will find Sebastian and Rena, just stay with Aidan!" her voice was upset, but it laced with concern too. 

"Hello, dear." Aidan spoke with throaty voice. 

Hope's expression turned hard as she glanced over Aidan's shoulder to find a way to escape from this predicament. She didn't know what happened with Aidan or maybe he was possessed by something, but she was glad that he left Alyssa alone. 

"I don't know you." if Hope was afraid, she didn't show it on her face. "What do you want from me?" 

As she talked, Hope crept her back along the wall very naturally, slowly shifted their position, but she didn't immediately ran away, knowing whatever possessed Aidan would tackle her to the ground in a blink of an eye.

She needed more time to think about it.

"What a cliché question…" Aidan sneered, he licked his lips as his golden eyes shone even brighter. "I have been looking for you since you are a baby." 

Hope frowned. Since she was a baby? What was that mean? That was why Serefina and Kace were very adamant to not let her out of their sight? Because there was a creepy creature that looked after her? Why they didn't tell her?

It would be easier for Hope if those three people could just tell her everything. They didn't need to hide it since Hope could understand their reason now. 

Hope was upset, but she was still aware there was a danger that lurking around in the form of human in front of her. 

"Well, now you find me." Hope walked back to the direction where Alyssa had gone. However, she still considered her choice, because this creature seemed to not take interest toward her friend.

Wouldn't that endanger them if Hope ran toward them? For now, Hope was sure that this creature only wanted her. 

"Did you kill those two girls?" Hope tried to buy as much time as she could. 

Unexpectedly, Aidan chuckled upon hearing Hope's question. "Oh, I like it. I like their soul." He tilted his head and flashed Hope a harmless smile. "But I like you better."

Gluttony remembered the first time she laid her eyes on her and her intoxicating scent as if inviting her to consume her whole. 

Yet, Kace and the witch were on the way and they had been keeping the girl all this time. Not only that, even when Gluttony managed to find her a few years ago, she couldn't come closer because of the protection that Serefina had placed on her.

The necklace. 

That thing prevented her to come near this source of smell. 

However, tonight, without the protection of Serefina and the lycan around, she was free to do anything toward her, especially after she destroyed that necklace. Hope last protection. 

Five years ago, Gluttony also came across with a little girl, who had this same intoxicating scent. Afterward she sent two people to go to the girl's house, unfortunately those two stupid creatures failed and the little girl was gone. 

That made Gluttony frustrated, because either that little girl or this girl in front of her, they were both had that inviting scent that she couldn't resist. 

Gluttony liked young soul better. 

"Come to me and no one would get hurt.�� Aidan extended his arms, trying to close the gap between them, but Hope took another step to avoid him. 

"Why should I listen to you?" Hope's black eyes shone fiercely under the moonlight that streamed down from the big window behind her. She looked very beautiful.

…and delicious in Gluttony's mind. 

"You killed two girls." Hope glanced at the other side of the corridor, there was a door, which would lead to the side yard. 

Hope and Alyssa accidentally opened that door when they looked for the main door earier. 

"They were nothing." Aidan crossed his arms, his golden eyes traced along Hope's line of sight and found the same door. He chuckled. "Don't waste your time to think a way of escaping this situation." than his chuckled turned even creepier. "You will not stand a chance."

Hope straightened her back as the door just right beside her. She glanced at it briefly. "So, why don't you tell me, why were you looking for me?" 

"I don't know." Aidan shrugged his shoulder and crossed his arms. "You smell good I guess."

Despite her fear, she felt disgusted, though Aidan was being possessed by something now, but to actually hear it out loud from his lips, it still sounded disgusting and Hope didn't like it in the slightest. 

It sounded pervert. 

"You kept asking me questions." Aidan walked over toward Hope, but this time the girl didn't move, she stood her ground with sharp eyes. "This is my turn to ask you."

Hope raised her eyebrows, "Well, I guess you are too kind, asking your prey in their last breath?"

Aidan chuckled. "You are special dear. I think I enjoy this moment, feeling your fear in the air and how you are trying hard to conceal how scare you are now."

Hope gritted her teeth and glanced at the door again. "Well, if you want to ask me, just do it." She shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly as she felt the vibration on her pocket, someone was calling her now.

Who is it? Kace?
