Time: the healer and the killer.
-d.j-
***************
The rapid sounds of Blue's small fists bumping against the door seemed to drain Knox's last ounce of patience.
At first, it was Chaos and now this little annoying girl.
"I WILL KILL THIS GIRL!" Knox swore, infuriated when he heard the noisy sounds and jumped off the bed to open the door.
Behind it, was Blue, standing in her stupid strawberry pyjamas. She lifted her head and looked at Knox straight in his eyes, without any fear at all, though his expression was so dark.
"I want to see Chaos," she said and without any permission, she walked past him and found the man that she had been looking for, sitting on the couch. "I found you!" she said happily.
Knox walked back inside, toward the two people and glared at both of them fiercely. "Did you two just make my bedroom your meeting point?!" he asked incredulously. Not even bothering to think how ridiculous it sounded.
"I found you!" Blue said cheerfully, she grinned at him, showing her white tiny teeth, waiting for a praise from him, but Chaos only stared at her, while Knox continued scolding her. "I found you…" she repeated her words, only her voice was slightly low this time.
"You really can smell my scent?"
"Yes," Blue said enthusiastically, she was now standing beside Chaos.
"What about him? Can you smell him too?" Chaos nodded his head toward Knox, who had stopped nagging her when he heard Blue could smell Chaos. It was an impossible feat.
Blue cocked her head and glanced over at Knox briefly, "Yes, I can smell him."
"What does he smell like?"
"Coffee."
It was almost the same scent that she smelled from Chaos.
"Impossible." Knox walked over and sat on the sofa opposite Chaos.
"The same scent as me?" Chaos asked again.
Blue then looked at Knox. "Hm… almost… he smells like coffee too, but a little bit different."
"What is the difference between us?" Chaos leaned over to hear her answer.
"It's like…" she looked up, trying to find the right words to say. "It's like coffee with a different flavor."
Hearing that answer, Knox looked at Chaos, whose attention was totally on the little girl. Blue was sitting on the other sofa now, looking at Knox and Chaos back and forth, waiting what their reaction would be.
Blue thought she had done a great job, but no one from them was saying anything about it. Or maybe, she had done it wrong?
"Chaos, it is not possible," Knox said, but even so, he slightly doubted his own words. "You don't think she can find you because of your scent, right?"
"I found him," Blue interrupted him quickly. "I smelled his scent. Both of you have a scent like coffee," she was annoyed because she needed to say the same thing again.
However, Knox ignored her. "We don't have that kind of thing." He reminded him. 'The thing' that he referred to was; scent. They didn't have a scent.
Chaos was silent for a moment longer, before he stood up and extended his hand toward Blue. "Come with me."
She beamed with happiness when she stretched out her hand and grabbed his, but then her smile disappeared when she remembered something.
"Where are we going? Is it far? The day after tomorrow will be my first day at school." Anne and she had prepared everything for her first day at school.
"We will return before that," Chaos reassured her.
Knox stood up as well, he looked at Chaos, his eyes narrowed. "You will take her with you? That's dumb."
"Let's see if its dumb or not." Chaos raised his head as his eyes met Knox's, then his hand grabbed Blue's tightly.
And in the next second, he disappeared along with the little girl.
"This is insane," Knox hissed angrily. But, he could care less about them. Chaos knew what he was doing and the little girl… Knox had zero affection toward her.
However, the thing that was way more insane than this was about to happen when he received a call from Gael.
"I need your men," Gael said when Knox finally picked his phone up, which was lying on the bedside table. "I just killed someone and need your people to clean that up."
=================
Gael held Lise's body close, she was trembling in his arms, with her face buried against his chest as she curled in his lap, while in front of them were two men, bathed in their own blood. Died.
"See? You see it yourself now, right?" Gael spoke softly into her ear, while caressing her back. His eyes glinted maliciously. He liked what he was seeing at the moment. "That's what happens when someone touches what's mine."
Yet, Lise's sobs grew louder. She tried to stifle her voice, but it was hard to do so when her whole body shuddered at the crazy thing that Gael had done to the two men.
"Now, you understand, right? When I said no one touches you, it means this will be the consequence they would have to face." Gael kept caressing her back. Her hair was smooth while her scent was sweet.
"You… you killed them…" Lise stated the obvious between her sobs. Her body wasn't listening to her. She wanted to run away as far away as she could from this man, but she couldn't find enough strength to do so.
"Yes, baby… they touched you, even after I warned them not to. That's their stupidity." There was no trace of guilt when Gael said those words. "You have not yet eaten anything. Let's eat, shall we?"
Eat…
After he put a few bullets in their head, right before Lise's eyes, forcing her to witness such a gruesome scene, he wanted to take her to eat something?
How could such an idea even cross his mind?
"You must be scared of what they have done to you… I should have made their deaths more painful."
