Chapter 215

215 I WANT HIM

“He is Chaos, Blue. His very existence is a symbol of destruction. It is good that his soul had shattered and the destruction that he caused can be minimized, but he is still a calamity for this realm. Are you sure you want to be with a man like him? There is a high possibility that you will die in the process.”

Hades then looked at Zuri, but then he realized that this conversation was not appropriate at a time like this, when the building that they were in was almost swallowed by the crack while in the background, people were screaming in fear, as horror was very thick in the air.

It was not the right time to have this conversation, nor the right place.

Therefore, Hades bent down his body and then wrapped his arms around her, but before she could punch him and start protesting, he already spoke to her in a warning tone.

“Don’t punch me, or else you will fall into the crack and I don’t want to be bothered to save you,” he said and along with Zuri in his arms, he disappeared.

It happened so fast, Zuri only blinked her eyes and felt a cold gust of wind that brushed past her face, but when she opened them again, she was already in a different place.

Zuri immediately freed herself from Hades’ arms and then put a distance between them. She wanted to scold him for what he had done, but she knew if he didn’t do what he had done, she would have died, swallowed by the crack.

Because in front of her right now, the building they were in a few seconds ago had collapsed and then fell straight into the crack, disappearing from her sight.

Meanwhile, Hades stood in front of Zuri, his back facing the catastrophe behind him, as he stared at her.

.....

“Do you still want to be with him?” He asked.

Zuri didn’t know how to answer that. She didn’t have an answer to that. And the most important thing was Hades’ next question.

“What is he for you?”

Right, what is Chaos for her?

The man was probably her guardian angel when she was little and she looked up to him. He saved her from that house, where she was trapped in her beast form for two years straight.

But then, she felt uncomfortable with the fact that she helped Chaos by finding his shattered soul, because she knew what he would do afterward.

He started to look less like a guardian angel to her, but her younger self would wait for him and would be happy if he came to see her.

She was so young and knew nothing better but her admiration for him.

But, what now? It had been eight years since he disappeared. Everything had changed. Zuri had changed...

She was not that little girl, who would wait for Chaos or stay inside the library in hopes he would come to see her. She was not that na?ve little girl anymore.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Zuri had grown into someone that she would have never imagined when she was younger. She didn’t need Chaos to protect her again.

But then... what was she doing here? The first thing when she realized there was a catastrophe in the middle of the city, was to go to see Chaos herself.

“Tsk! You are so complicated...” Hades murmured, he clicked his tongue in annoyance, but then he nodded to the direction behind Zuri. “You can go out of this place and leave this behind you. Go as far as you can and don’t look back. Forget about Chaos and your life will be easier.”

Hades had told her before that Chaos was the embodiment of death itself. He would bring calamity wherever he went.

“Or you can go there.” Hades pointed in the direction where Chaos was, over his shoulder. “And maybe I can see you in the afterlife sooner.”

Zuri was still sitting on the ground, with a jacket covering her body, as her white hair fluttered in the wind. She could feel the atmosphere becoming very humid as the cracking sounds from beneath the ground started getting louder and louder, as if this whole realm would split into two.

She didn’t need to go to Chaos. She didn’t owe him anything. Zuri could take the first option and live her life without being tied to him.

But...

“Go Blue, go away from this.” Hades smirked, tilting his head, as if he was mocking her. “You don’t need to deal with this. This is out of your capability.”

======================

Sol slammed his fist so hard on the table and the old wooden table rattled in protest with a screeching sound that filled this almost empty control room.

On the monitor, Sol saw how Gael managed to save Lise and took her somewhere that he didn’t know. The man destroyed all the security cameras out of this building, thus he couldn’t see which direction he had taken.

“BASTARD!” Sol was livid to see how Gael returned to this realm and once again, took Lise with him. He dismissed the fact that Gael had saved her life.

If it was not for him finding her in time, she would be lying dead in one of those heaps of dead bodies of the scientists and the guards.

However right now, Sol didn’t want to think about it in that way, because the main focus that he had right now was the fact that Gael got her again.

Sol swore Gael would pay for this; he would see how he would come around to him and kneel before him.

After all, he got their daughter with him. The little girl was safe under their protection. She was the most valuable experimental object that they had right now after they lost the lycan, because of the stupidity of those scientists.

Sol closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Gael would be the one who would come running to him and beg him.

This was not over yet...

======================

“We can’t go back to the McKeltar manor, Sebastian told us to go to Alegra city, where we will meet Anne there,” Nathen told Gael, as he drove the car. He kept the radio on, so they would know the news about what was happening in the Fokosa city.

It seemed something horrible and massive was happening while Gael was away to deal with the members of The Hound and a few freak scientists.

“Hm, let’s go there,” Gael said gloomily. He was staring at Lise, who was fast asleep in his arms. Her hair was slightly damp and streaks of tears were still visible on her cheeks. She was skinnier than the last time he held her.

F*ck. What actually had they done to her?

The fact that he couldn’t find his daughter was still bothering Gael. There were no children around River’s age there, though there was a high possibility that they had moved River somewhere, but this feeling still gnawed on Gael’s heart.

What if he missed his daughter? And now she was buried under the burned building? Or his daughter was caught up in that mess and was killed by one of the shifters that were trying to escape or the members of The Hound.

Everything could have possibly happened...

“Gael...” Lise mumbled.

“Yes?” Gael leaned over to look at her, just in case she was in pain or needed something, but Lise still had her eyes closed, so she must be talking in her sleep. “Yes, love... I am here... there is nothing to be worried about. I got you.”

“Gael... our daughter... they took our daughter...”

And Lise repeated the words a few times, her voice sounded so hopeless...

Their daughter...

They had taken his daughter and they would pay for it...

Gael swore they would pay for this... his eyes were a few shades darker as he looked out of the window, at the night that had fallen around them, as this street was quite empty.

A dark murderous intention brewed behind those eyes that couldn’t be mistaken.

However, despite all of the malice that surrounded his mind, he still could find solace when he thought about the way Lise said it.

Our daughter...

Their daughter...

The little girl that belonged to them, carrying equal parts of them...

======================

Zuri could see Chaos in the distance, he was too far for her to see what kind of expression that he had right now.

However, he had not yet moved an inch, even when the whole place had been ruined and all the buildings had disappeared, swallowed by the crack. He didn’t budge from where he was standing, as if he was enjoying the view, how the world crumbled down under his feet.

Zuri didn’t know what had gotten into her, but when she stood up, she knew which direction that she wanted to choose.

It was him, it would always be him, in the past or now, or maybe in her dark and uncertain future...
