Chapter 3 - TAKE ME WITH YOU (2/2)

However, once she set her foot inside the house, which was usually very clean, neat and orderly, she stopped abruptly. It was nothing like the tidy place she could recall.

Blood pooled on the white floor, until its smell permeated in the air, dead bodies were piled on the other side of the room, under the huge, fancy stairs.

Not everyone had died there, some of them were still alive, moaning and whimpering, begging for their killer to have mercy on them, but they were killed anyway.

The girl stood there, watching the scene before someone realized her existence and yelled at his fellow friend.

”What the hell!” He cursed at seeing a little girl, who was staring at the man, who was being killed with a dagger slitting his throat, but the girl didn't show any emotion. She stared at the gruesome scene expressionlessly. ”Why is there a child here?!”

All the people inside the room directed their attention toward the girl that their friend mentioned.

She was wearing a strange dress with long sleeves that touched the floor. She was startled a little when she heard the loud voice and finally became aware of the attention she was receiving from the people around her.

Her hazel eyes darted from one man to another, until she found the face that she was searching for.

Without so much as wariness, she walked across the room, her small feet stepped in blood pooled on the floor, yet she paid zero attention to it.

”Stop right there!” One of the men pointed his gun at her, while giving a command for the little girl to stop.

However, she turned deaf ears to the order, while her eyes focused solely on that man.

Knox immediately raised his hand, signaling the man to lower his gun, as he was slightly curious about what this girl wanted.

The girl walked briskly and only stopped when she was standing in front of Knox, but it was certain that it was not him that she wanted.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, until his henchman gave Knox a white shirt and he nudged his arm. ”Chaos.”

The man named Chaos took the white shirt and wore it, as he spoke to the girl before him. ”What do you want?”

The girl opened her mouth, her lips moved, but there was no sound that came out from them. She was not sure that she could still use her voice, after all it had been years since the last time she spoke.

But, she tried it anyway.

Air rushed out of her throat and her tongue twisted weirdly when she tried to speak. ”Take me… you.” She swallowed hard before she tried again. Her voice was so hoarse and it hurt her throat, but she wanted to hear her own voice again. ”Take me with you.”
