219 A GENTLE KISS

“Damn it,” Knox cursed under his breath, he closed his eyes to control his anger and breathed deeply. He couldn’t believe Chaos did this to him after what he had gone through to be able to reach him.

Knox had gone as far as leaving July at the safe place and then argued with that stubborn woman so she wouldn’t follow him in order to confront Chaos, since he was not sure what the latter would do. In the face of the fact that he was able to ruin the biggest city in this country single-handedly, Knox knew Chaos could do more.

However, after everything he had gone through and also waiting for two more hours before he could approach Chaos, the man in question just disappeared like that. It really didn’t sit well with Knox.

As annoying as this situation was, Knox could only stare at the empty spot, where Chaos and Zuri were a few seconds ago.

Knox didn’t know where they had gone, but he had a feeling, which place that Chaos would choose, after all, there was no familiar place for him to go aside from it.

Knox ruffled his own hair in frustration and then walked away from this barren ground.

Yes, this place, right in this spot, a day ago, this was the busiest street of Fokosa city, where people came and went as they pleased. A place that would never be quiet, where the skyscrapers reached the sky and the most advanced technology was applied.

But now, within a night, all of that was gone. The city was gone. What was left of it was only this barren land, with a few horrible cracks on the ground.

There was nothing left of it, not even a trace of those skyscrapers or the bustling and jostling streets.

.....

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

There was nothing here.

On the horizon, the sun finally rose and its light only emphasized how much destruction that this city center had gone through and how horribly this place was wrecked.

One could assume that nothing would be able to reside or live in this soil anymore.

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

Gael caressed Lise’s cheek when the car finally stopped, as the bright sunlight streamed down into the car.

Lise whimpered and then lifted her head. Her eyes were swollen and she was as pale as a white sheet. The first thing that she asked was for their daughter and this made Gael grit his teeth for being unable to save their child.

“I will take care of it. I promise I will get our daughter back,” Gael said. “I promise you.”

Lise cried again and Nathen gave the two of them a little privacy by stepping out of the car and informed the people there that Gael and Lise had returned, especially to Anne, since the old woman was very worried about all of them.

Anne came outside of this not- so- large house and talked to Nathen for awhile, she didn’t immediately approach the car, since she knew that the two of them needed some time alone.

And when they finally came out of the car, Anne approached to help Gael and Lise.

“I made a delicious soup, it will give you more energy,” Anne said softly, as she followed Gael, who was carrying Lise into one of the bedrooms there. “I will bring your breakfast, clean up and take a rest.” Anne then looked at Nathen. “You, follow me.”

Begrudgingly and without any other choice, Nathen followed the old woman out. He knew that Anne did not only need his help, but she wanted to know what had actually happened in the headquarters of The Hound last night, which unfortunately, he couldn’t provide in every single detail, since he was not there to witness everything.

“What about River?” Lise asked Gael when he helped her to take off her jacket. She kept asking the same question while Gael was incredibly gentle and patient answering her every single time.

“I will get our daughter back, love, I promise. I will get her back no matter what, you don’t need to worry.” Gael kissed Lise’s forehead and then took her to the bathroom so she could clean herself. “Do you need some help? I can bath you if you want...”

Hearing that, Lise snapped her head at him and then shot him a dagger look. “Out,” she said succinctly.

Gael was surprised to see how Lise was able to look so ferocious like this, but then eight years of hard life probably shaped her this way in order to survive.

“Okay,” Gael said, he backed away immediately and then closed the door behind him. “I just want to help,” he mumbled to himself.

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

Chaos put Zuri down on her bed, as she was still unconscious. It seemed everything that had happened finally took a toll on her.

There were still stains of tears on her cheeks while her white hair disheveled, dirt and dust covered her skin and she looked pale.

If Zuri was her eight years old self, Chaos would have changed her clothes without a second thought, but she was a grown beautiful woman and he didn’t want to instill another dreadful thought of someone looking at her body without her consent in her mind.

Especially when she was still unconscious and the only piece of clothing she was wearing was this jacket.

Chaos pulled the blanket up to her chin and then sat on the edge of her bed, staring at her. It took everything in him to control his anger and stop destroying this realm.

He saw everything, he knew everything, he could feel her desperation, anger and helplessness and there was nothing he could do except this...

Chaos extended his hand and caressed Zuri’s cheek, as he traced his hand down to her collarbone, to the mark on her neck.

He stared at it for some time before he finally leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her skin. He wished he could kiss away all of her pain...
