Chapter 61 - DONT LEAVE ME (2/2)

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

Blue glared at her uncle, who was glaring back at Knox, but the pack members behind him that had shifted into their beasts, were snarling at the group that Jasmine led.

The shifters knew their enemy and Jasmine was part of the green people, who had been hunting down their kind for years.

Just like Blue, they  knew their true identity almost immediately once they laid their eyes on them.

But, their intention now was not to fight the green people, but to take away Blue from Knox. This was a tricky situation, but nonetheless, no one was willing to back down.

Blue clutched her jacket tightly with one hand, but her other one held Knox's. She didn't want to be near either of them. She wanted to be with him.

”Knox,” Anthony greeted Knox, but his voice was too stern to count it as a warm greeting.

”Anthony,” Knox reciprocated the greeting in the same way.

”Hand her over to us and we will leave this place.”

Knox looked at Anthony and then the little girl that held his hand tightly, and then in one swift move, he freed his hand from hers.

This shocked Blue, because she thought she had lost him, that Knox had disappeared all of a sudden like what Chaos always did, but the man was still there.

”You can go to him if you want.” Knox knew that this decision was against what Chaos wanted, but if this little girl didn't want to stay with them, they shouldn't force her to do so.

She was not part of them after all and seeing their situation now, it was hard for Knox to say that he wanted her around. Her existence alone was complicated and that was the last thing that he wanted; another problem.

However, Blue pressed her body against Knox's Leg, as she shouted at her uncle. ”I don't want to go with you!” She then lifted her head and looked at Knox with her hazel eyes, pleading. ”Don't leave me.”

The words struck his heart. It sounded like something that he had heard from a distant memory. But, he was sure this memory was not his, since his existence alone was a big question.

Therefore, this feeling was not his as well.

”Don't leave me,” Blue said again, she clutched at his jacket tightly, her tears threatening to fall down from her eyes.

Knox was at a loss for a moment when he saw her eyes.

There was something familiar in the way she looked at him, but he was not sure what it was… he had never been so close to her ever since she arrived at their manor.

But then, Jasmine chose that very moment to shoot him right in his head.
