TRUST.

Something which I don't do anymore.

*******************

Blue lived in a place that you could call a manor, which meant, whoever was the master of this place, they wouldn't be short of money.

However, they decided for Blue to take public transportation instead of giving her a car and chauffeur like the other kids had when they went to school.

At first, it didn't bother Blue at all, she didn't see the difference, since she loved to walk on her own. She was good with directions and could protect herself, at least from humans.

Yet, things didn't go as smooth and simple as she thought, as the other kids would pick on her for being 'poor'.

This was Gael's fault for registering her into a prestigious school, but didn't back her up with the necessary things that she needed to socialize with those rich kids.

Though they knew she had a last name for McKeltar, they assumed she was an illegitimate daughter of Knox McKeltar, since the man had not yet married.

”What is an illegitimate daughter?” Blue asked Chaos one evening. She smelled his scent when she was working on her homework and immediately rushed toward him when he was in his study room.

It had been two weeks since she saw him the last time after they returned from their small adventure together.

”Born out of wedlock,” Chaos answered her shortly, without lifting his head from the book that he was reading. He was standing near the window and let the cold, night wind enter the room, playing with Blue's white hair, as she sat down on the couch, with her hazel eyes fixed on Chaos.

”Is that a bad term?”

”Hm.”

”I should punch the person who said it to me again tomorrow.” She was sullen for a little while before she told Chaos about her day in the school, though he didn't ask about it. Blue seemed to not want Chaos to miss anything about her progress and all the friends she made.

The little girl kept talking, despite the fact that Chaos paid zero attention to her.

”Blue,” Chaos said in a small voice, but it was enough to stop the girl from chattering away.

”Yes?”

”I am reading.”

”Oh… okay…” she said softly and then kept her mouth shut, but she didn't go anywhere.

Blue played with the hem of her blue dress and scrambled on the notepad on the table with the pen that she used to write down her homework.

She thought that she should bring her homework here, so she could finish it, but if she left, there was a high chance Chaos would no longer be here by the time she returned, thus she chose to draw a flower instead.

Yet, it only took her twenty minutes before she started talking again.

”If I stab you, will you feel hurt?” Blue asked curiously, she knew that Chaos was not human, but he was not a shifter either. So, what was he?

”Do you want to stab me?” Chaos asked back to her, but didn't stop reading his book.

Blue then jumped from her couch and approached Chaos with the ballpoint pen in her hand. ”No, I will not do that, but I am just curious.”
