Chapter 134 - MALICE (1/2)

They passed the first guard and walked across the quiet garden, which was only the two of them, while most of the pack was distances away from them when Blue suddenly attacked Liam.

She punched him hard on the face and tackled him to the ground with her arm around his neck, cutting the air and suffocating him.

”I am sorry,” Blue said coldly, she was very calm when she did that and only loosened her grip when Liam was no longer moved.

She pushed the man away from her before she sensed someone came closer to her, yet she knew who it was, thus she didn't need to be on alert.

”Did you kill him?” Meredith asked, her eyes widened in shocked. She was scared to see what was happening before her eyes. It took every ounce of courage in her to be able to be part of this plan.

”No.” Blue took a set of clothes and pants from Meredith and without hesitation stripped her dress there. ”He just passed out, he will be fine in a few more hours.”

Meredith visibly sighed in relieved.

Blue wanted to kill Liam, the thought crossed her mind, but she couldn't bring herself further than this. She already had enough blood in her hand for the rest of her life, so she didn't need to add it with Liam's as well.

”Where is my onlace?” Blue wouldn't let her weapon left behind.

”Here.” Meredith handed her the onlace, it sparked beautifully under the moonlight. ”What am I supposed to do with him?”

Blue raised her brows. ”Had Mateo told you about it?”

”Yes.” Meredith moved her legs nervously. They supposed to leave Liam like that, that was the plan. ”Yes, but… don't you think he needed a medical help? You hit him really hard.”

Blue wanted to laugh with that statement, but unfortunately, she was not a carefree self like she was years ago.

”No, he will be fine.” Blue finished wearing her clothes and pants, checking a backpack that Meredith brought with her briefly and was sure that she had enough money inside there for her to last a few days out there. ”I will go now.”

There was no warm hug or goodbye when Blue leapt to the darkness, leaving the unconscious Liam, her white dress and Meredith alone there.

She didn't need to be so sentimental about it, since it would only make things difficult for her and gave nothing in the end.

Meredith turned around and walked away as well, once she couldn't smell Blue's scent. She needed to be out of there, before someone caught her.

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

”Where is grandma Anne?” River asked her mother, she looked at her surroundings and couldn't find her grandma, while her mother was driving through a main road, where the flashing light of the cars irritated her eyes.

”Grandma Anne is no longer with us.” Lise focused her eyes on the street in front of her, but she could imagine her daughter's expression when she said that.

Anne refused to wake her up when she went with July because it would make things hard between them.

She loved River and vice versa, thus to see her begging to not leaving, was something that Anne didn't want to see, just like how she didn't want to say goodbye to Blue eight years ago…
