Chapter 6 - I LIKE HIS EYES (2/2)
”Yes.” Anne nodded her head and then stood up. ”He will come back. And for now, I think you need to change your clothes. I wish I had clothes your size. Maybe we can go shopping tomorrow,” she mumbled to herself and extended her hand to her.
At first, Blue just stared at her opened palm, but Anne didn't urge her. She waited until the little girl felt safe enough to take her hand and then they walked down the corridor, back to Anne's room.
”I am hungry,” Blue said.
”I will cook something for you.”
”Will you give me delicious food?” Blue lifted her head and looked at Anne, who was smiling.
”Yes, little one.”
Blue felt sad when she heard that. Her father used to call her 'little one' too…

Blue dirtied her face when she dipped the spaghetti that Anne had cooked for her in the sauce. Sauce was everywhere on the table and she not only dirtied her face, but also her hand.
Fortunately, Anne had tied her long hair into a cute bun above her head, so she wouldn't stain her hair too.
”Who is she? Why did Chaos bring her here?” Anne asked Gael, who was eating his spaghetti with a sullen expression. His dark eyes stared at the girl and the way she was eating.
”I don't know the reason why Chaos brought her.” He had asked Knox, but that man was as annoying as Chaos. ”But, she is a shifter, so be careful,” he warned the old lady.
Anne didn't really look like an old lady, though she was already sixty- five years old, and still seemed to have enough energy to hit Gael on the back of his head.
”She is a child, what should I be careful of?” she reprimanded him, but then both of their attention shifted to Blue, because she stopped making noises, as she stopped eating. ”What happened?”
Blue stared at Gael worriedly and then she spoke in a low voice. ”You shouldn't tell her that I am a shifter. Humans must not know that I am a shifter.”
The three of them were sitting at the four seated dining table, with Blue and Gael sitting opposite each other.
”It's okay, your secret is safe with me,” she said, patting Blue's head and the girl continued eating. ”What does Chaos want to do with her?”
Gael shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. ”I don't know. He didn't say anything. By the way, where is he?”
”He left after giving her to me,” Anne replied. ”He didn't say much about her either.”
”Knox is taking care of the problem with the traitors. He will kill me if I bother him with questions about this girl.”
