Chapter 44 - ARE YOU HIDING SOMETHING? (2/2)

The small bottle that was given to her, which consisted of poison, was still inside her bag, kept away safely inside a small compartment, so no one would find it.

Lise still couldn't decide whether she would do it or not. She tried to think of using something else, such as a sleeping pill, so she wouldn't need to kill Gael.

But, she doubted that it would work on a non- human being like him.

Lise stared at the ceiling, she couldn't close her eyes and realized that her body was very tense. Even as the warm light of the sun illuminated the room, she was still in the same position. One could say that she was only a step away from losing her mind.

And when the room was bright and the light stung her eyes, Lise felt her stomach churning and all of a sudden she felt an urge to vomit because of the fuggy smell that was brought by the wind.

The next thing that Lise knew was her bending over the closet and vomiting her guts out…

====================

Blue opened her eyes when she heard Anne's voice, as she shook her body gently to wake her up.

”It's time to wake up, or you will be late for school.” Anne stopped shaking her when she saw Blue groaning before her eyes fluttered open. The girl slowly sat down, while rubbing her sleepy eyes. Her long white hair was a mess, like a bird nest on top of her head.

”I am awake…” Blue said meekly.

”Great!” Anne then stood up and walked toward the door. ”Don't fall asleep again, young lady,” she warned her before she exited the room.

Blue grunted and curled her body, wanting to close her eyes for one more minute, but then she caught a whiff of his scent.

Yet, this time it was too strong, as if he was nearby.

In a flash, Blue's eyes opened wide and she sat up straight, just to find Chaos standing in front of her desk, staring at her homework with his back facing her.

”Anne said to not fall asleep again,” Chaos said in a hoarse voice. He still had his back facing her.

”I am awake,” Blue said, rubbing her face roughly and jumped down from her bed. Her drowsiness was long gone.

”Good morning Blue,” Chaos greeted her, tilting his head when she came to stand beside him.

”What are you doing in my room?” Blue asked, she was aware that her voice sounded too defensive and it didn't go unnoticed by him.

This time, he turned his body to face her and stared into her hazel eyes intensely. He looked like someone who was trying to read the other person's mind and the little girl was starting to imagine that he could do so.

”Are you hiding something from me, Blue?” Chaos asked, and he knew she lied to him when she replied in a heartbeat.

”No.”
