324 HE WILL GET HER BACK
“Go with them, don’t cause trouble again. I will see you later.”
No matter what, Sol would go to the interrogation room, to make sure that Vanesha wouldn’t be subjected to the full blown torture, as the organization would not be so kind to a traitor, despite this person’s status or importance.
However, even though he would go to her, still there was a limit to the things that Sol could do in this organization, especially when he was not a favored person if it was not for his father. Yet, Archie’s own position was already in jeopardy because many higher-ups disagreed with him to keep his son, Sol.
“No,” Vanesha rejected the idea straight away. “Do you think you can take River without me?” She glanced once again at the closed door behind Sol.
“You don’t need to worry about her, someone will take care of her,” Sol said calmly.
Vanesha scoffed when she heard that. “Really? That easy? Do you really think the organization would take me in if it was so easy to replace me?” Vanesha stated in a matter of fact tone. She wouldn’t be here to accompany River when they already planned to abandon her, if they knew how to handle the girl.
“Go with them silently, so no one will get hurt.” Sol didn’t want to see her get hurt, that was not his intention, but seeing her position right now, it was most likely she would end up getting hurt, that was something inevitable.
“No,” Vanesha said. She looked Sol right in the eyes and then screamed. “RIVER!!!”
Everything happened so fast, Sol opened fire before all the soldiers there could even cock their guns and shot Vanesha’s leg.
.....
However, at the same time, River burst out of the door, she looked panicked because of the way Vanesha called her name. She looked around her and quickly found Vanesha already dropped to the ground with a bleeding leg.
Meanwhile, Sol had jumped to the side, so he could be with the other soldiers, while now all the guns were pointed at River, yet her focus was not on her own safety.
“Vanesha...?” River called her, her voice was so small.
=========================
Gael watched Lise sleeping for the last time before he went away to get their daughter back from that organization. This was their only chance, since River was not chained in their underground lab, which was heavily guarded.
He bent over his body and kissed her temple gently. If someone from her early years saw her right now, they wouldn’t believe it was her. She had changed so much and her illness was the main factor behind it.
Yet, what Gael felt toward her had never changed. His love for her, had never dwindled at all, ever since the first time he met her.
He loved her with all of him, even his dark side was no exception. He knew he was a mess when he met her for the first time and hurt her more than one could imagine. His love was lethal and awfully insane.
“I will get our daughter back,” Gael promised her and then left the room with Nathen, along with his own people. The supernatural creatures that he had gathered around for years. They were now ready to take their revenge on the humans.
These creatures were those whose families had been killed by the members of the organization and had their territories seized away from them, because humans needed their land to expand their own dominion.
Just like what Knox and July did, Gael did the same in this abandoned city the organization didn’t want to deal with, since this area was covered by mist and they didn’t know what was behind it.
“Let’s go,” Gael said, as he walked out of the door and met with Nathen, who had been waiting for him.
The two of them then proceeded to the next step in their plan.
=======================
Zuri finally found Killian’s house. Strange enough, despite the flames around it, the house was not touched at all, as if the fire couldn’t even get near the building.
Hades was still with them, as he followed Zuri and Norbeat into the house.
“Are you sure Knox and Chaos are still here?” Norbeat asked Zuri. He was a little bit hesitant to go with her, since he was afraid the building would be burned to the ground, seeing how high the flames around it burned.
Even though he witnessed it with his own eyes how the fire didn’t even touch the trees in the yard at all, he was still a bit skeptical.
“Yes, I can smell his scent.” Zuri was certain about this, as she rushed through the door. She could smell Knox’s scent, but it was not mixed with Chaos and this bothered her.
“Wow, can you smell me too?” Hades cooed, as he ran behind her.
Zuri would have beaten this devil to the ground if she was not in a hurry. She was not sure why this devil always appeared at times like this to annoy her. She didn’t see how it helped, except to add to her stress by telling her about the three goddesses that wanted to put Chaos down if he didn’t stop.
Once they entered the house, Zuri immediately ran toward the second floor and she was greeted by White who wiggled its tail happily.
Yet, she didn’t have time for that, so she scooped the wolf up and put it in Norbeat’s arms for him to carry.
“Hey! I don’t like this wolf!” Norbeat protested, but he followed Zuri into the room and found Knox lying down on his back on the floor.
“Knox, what happened?!” Zuri immediately knelt down beside him and checked on him. She looked terrified when she realized Chaos was nowhere in sight. “Where is Chaos?”
Knox furrowed his brows. He looked pale, sick. Could someone like him be sick?
But then he touched her hand and Zuri disappeared from their sight, making Norbeat freak out.
