Chapter 45 - HE IS NOT A BAD GUY (1/2)

And suddenly, life was not about living, it was about surviving.

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

Blue looked straight into his dark blue eyes and when she answered his question, her voice was steady. ”No.”

The little girl thought she could lie to the face of a man like Chaos, but miraculously, Chaos didn't press her again with that question.

For a moment, they looked into each other's eyes, until Blue lowered her head and stared at her bare feet. She thought Chaos would disappear again, just like what he always did. But this time, he stayed and leaned his tall body against her small desk.

He was wearing a blue windbreaker and leather shoes that looked dirty and muddy, but since he appeared all of a sudden inside her room, he didn't make a mess on the floor.

”Where have you been?” Blue asked Chaos. She didn't know what to say or how to act in this situation. She couldn't look at him the same after she witnessed what he had done to that poor young man.

”Somewhere,” Chaos replied curtly.

Blue bit her lips and lifted her head, only to find the man's dark blue eyes were staring at her. She didn't know what kind of emotion was behind those beautiful eyes, but she was sure that he didn't come here just to check her homework.

”You still have family?” Chaos asked her all of a sudden. A question that he was supposed to ask her when they met for the first time.

”Yes,” she replied. ”I guess,” she corrected herself, since she was not sure if she still had her uncle.

”Do you want to meet them?”

It made Blue question herself. Did she want to meet her uncle? Live in his pack?

If this question was asked two years ago, she would have answered it without any hesitation, since she had nowhere to go.

But now, she was not sure if she wanted to be separated from Anne or her school, or even her friends, though she didn't have many, but her mind trailed to Nikolai.

She loved being at school and surrounded by people…

But, they were not her kind, neither Chaos, Knox or Gael.

”I don't know,” she answered truthfully. She blinked her eyes.

Or maybe, it was Chaos that she didn't want to leave. She felt safe and comfortable around him. Since the first time she met him, she already felt this strange comfort that emanated from him.

”Do you want me to leave?” Blue asked him back.

However, Chaos didn't answer her, he simply walked out of the door and closed it behind him, leaving the scent of coffee filling the air in her room, as the little girl walked toward her bathroom.

Blue needed to be ready within thirty minutes, or else Anne would nag her to no end and when she was ready and went to the dining room, she knew that Chaos was no longer inside this house again.

Later that night, when Blue couldn't sleep, she went to Anne's bedroom, asking her to continue the story, she said to her before, about the God of Destruction.
