Chapter 175 Looming Danger

He had made a mental note to be known as the original host's body, that was the best and most reasonable approach to his current unexplained mystery.

Tears trailed down her eyes, happy he had recovered even if it was just a bit of his memory.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, a loving look on her features with a bright smile.

"I knew you'd be back."

'I don't know if he's back!' He countered, hoping whoever this Zephyr character was someone that wouldn't take over at the wrong time.

Pulling his head down, Rumi raised her legs so she could kiss him ever so lightly.

Zephyr allowed it this time, the moment she placed her lips on his, a sense of greed overcame his senses.

Flipping them over, he pushed her against the wall. She had a broad smile at how aggressive he was getting with just the touch of her lips. This only served to assert that Zephyr was slowly recovering his memories.

Unintentionally activating his gift, he teleported towards the bed.

The bed creaked in response to the drop from a few feet.

Her legs wrapped around his waist, and she pulled him further down to her crotch.

Pushing off her, "undress." He commanded in a breathy voice.

–––––––––––

In the city,

A young girl could be seen hopping along with each brick which had the color blue built as a pattern.

She had her black hair plaited in cornrows which with its tip held by two blue ribbons.

She was a short little girl with a height barely above 120cm. Her pleated blue dress bounced in response to her skips made with every step.

Her green eyes searched the floor for the pebble she had dropped while sent on an errand by her father.

"One, two, three..." She said as she waved to some of the neighbors that waved back in response.

"Get away from there!" One had managed to yell but wasn't heard on time.

He looked over to where she had waved to, and frowned at the dawning fact–no one was there, yet she had waved at who?

Those buildings had been abandoned for several years, he had lived in seclusion in hopes of seeing his family return to him

The girl simply smiled and continued her search. If her father knew about her little escapade, she was going to be in a lot of trouble.

The male was in his 20s, uninterested in what the world had to offer him, he had come out of seclusion only to sense someone was walking right into a danger zone, this had prompted him to call for the attention of the girl and warn her.

'I am so going to regret this!' He internally facepalmed, letting out a sigh and shaking his head before he would call out to her once more.

"Get a... way..." The male paused, realizing that his words had no form of effect on this girl who had a focused view of what she wanted.

'Don't head down that path... the aura isn't right in there.' His mind warned, unsure of what lay ahead.

A good part of him took the better part on his decision. Canceling the thought of only himself, he rushed in pursuit of the girl. The area she was headed to wasn't anything near fun.

'How the hell did you find this place?' He wondered, understanding that he had merely stayed for a reason and kept isolated from the rest of the city, but how did she know of this place?

His eyes looked down at the pattern of the brick flooring. The strange blue looked a bit disturbing, the last time he had seen this was when a raenz attacked.

The bricks on the floor had been a tell tale of looming danger, this had not happened in over 8 years in this part of the city. This had been the major reason his family and all others had run for safety.

Leaving him behind when he had been so clumsy enough to lock himself in his room. They had promised to return to get him. Understanding that to protect him, they would need to flee to draw out the enemy in their direction.

"You're in danger, girl. Stop!" He yelled in desperation.

The girl looked back only to realize someone was chasing after her. In fear, she sprinted to the best speed she could garner at the moment.

"Please don't hurt me!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, tears dropping, her heart pounding.

The approaching footsteps were enough for her to choke on her saliva hinting at how well she was not handling the situation.

stained floor

Looking to the floor, the blue bricks were starting to fade, revealing the dried blood that had been concealed so well.

Screeching to a stop, the girl hyperventilated, sniffling and trembling at the sight before her. "Where... Where am I?!" She wailed, finally getting a grip on her actions.

Finally getting a hold of the little girl, the male placed his hand on her shoulder and felt her tremble under his hold. "Shh!" He hushed, feeling the dawning danger approaching.

Rogue gift users were considered the most dangerous and unpredictable among all other rogues.

This was a forbidden area, his hand held onto the black device, his heart also pounding at the danger he had unintentionally jumped into.

The little girl stiffly turned her head to who had touched her and her eyes widened in fear. It was the very person that had been in pursuit of her.

She had wanted to scream when his hand latched onto her mouth.

"Shhh!" He hissed, shaking his head. It was enough hassle to be in here, but another to draw their attention to them so easily.

Pointing back to where they had come from, he pulled on her hand. In case of any attacks, he pushed on the button which had sent a static charge all around the vicinity.

"Well... well, what do we have here?" A smoky voice snickered from the shadows.
