Chapter 448

448 NO WAY

They didn’t want to attract many attention from the people around them, as they only wanted to find one of Chaos shattered soul, but apparently, the situation was escalated really fast and without Zuri and Knox knowing, they were already surrounded.

There were around twenty men circled them with their gun pointed at their head, ready to blow their mind, as they talked about the reward that they would get from the government for bringing them the supernatural creature.

“Why don’t you kill them all to save our time?” Zuri said, she was annoyed by this situation. She didn’t want to deal with them and would gladly kill them in one single movement, but she was not Chaos or Knox and didn’t have that ability. “We need to go.”

“There is none of them the shattered soul?” Knox already knew the answer, he just wanted to make sure of it.

“I will have pointed it out to you if there is among them,” Zuri stated the fact. Why would they waste her breath here if they found what they looked for? “Should we fight them? I am still injured.”

Zuri didn’t want to come out as a whiny woman, but she was tired after fighting against Darius this morning, so she didn’t wish to have another fight with these random men before her eyes.

“Don’t act childish, that doesn’t suit you,” Knox criticized the way she spoke to him.

“Well, can you take care of them? I am still recuperating from my earlier fight.” Zuri then squatted down, as if she was waiting what Knox would do to those men. She intended to not lift a finger to help him, aside from protecting herself, she didn’t want to have a fight. Period.

“I wonder how Chaos could stand you for those years.” Knox was still amazed to know that she travelled with Chaos for years. How could he stand her?

.....

“Don’t worry, he loved my personality, really.” Zuri waved her hand, as if this was not a big of deal. However, she moved her body, as a bullet grazed her shoulder, because she didn’t pay attention. “Damn this human,” Zuri grunted.

The wound immediately closed, but the blood had stained her shirt and she hated to be bleeding again after she had cleaned herself.

“I am going to kill them all,” Zuri grumbled through her gritted teeth.

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

“You are not allowed to come into this room,” July said to Skylar, who was leaning her body against the door frame.

Meanwhile, July was waiting for Chaos to wake up with Norbeat, who was sleeping on the couch right now. The soul possessor had given her a brief explanation about what was going on earlier and she learned Knox and Zuri were away to find Chaos’s shattered soul.

It was not sure how long it would take, but she hoped they could return within a day, after all, they went together, right?

“Why I am not allowed here?” she asked July, displeased.

“Because you are not welcomed here,” Ciara said, she appeared all of sudden behind her back, which made her jumped in surprised.

“Darn! Can you have made a normal appearance!?” Skylar was upset by how her step sister could have such power like that. She had been so jealous of her power ever since they were a child.

“Stay away from this room,” Ciara said, as she entered the bedroom and then glanced at Norbeat, who was sleeping soundlessly on the sofa. He didn’t care about the fighting that erupted in this room, as he slept away all the commotion. “You are not welcomed here.”

Ciara knew that Skylar had been obsessed with Chaos, ever since she knew that she was part of his soul. She was very proud for that fact, which she couldn’t really relate with.

“So, you are welcomed here?” Skylar glared at her half sister, she folded her arms in front of her chest arrogantly, as she looked at her with annoyance in her eyes.

“Knox told me to come here, so yes, I am welcomed here,” Ciara said lightly, as she walked over toward Chaos and then looked at the man sleeping face. She was here before when Knox put him on the bed and put some spell on him, so he would calm.

It would be a trouble for them if he lost his control in this manor. If he could ruin the whole city, could you imagine how a manor could stand a chance against such power?

“What?!” Skylar was trying to walk over, she wanted to grab Ciara’s hair, but there was barrier that prevented her from entering the room.

Needless to say, it was Ciara doing.

“What do you think you are doing?! Put this thing down!” She really wished she had the same power like Ciara, because only at that time, she could beat her. “PUT THIS DOWN!”

“Go away,” Ciara said coldly, she waved her hand and then the door was slammed shut right in front of Skylar.

The door hit her face so hard, she had to bend down her body and covered her nose, as she threw a long line of profanity. She shouted from behind the door, all the words that she could think of.

“She is so loud,” Ciara said, as she waved her hand again and the sound of her protest died down. The room became very silence. “How is he? Did he wake up when I left?” she asked July, who was shaking her head.

“No, he did not.” July felt really bad right now to see Chaos like this and the pressured that was put on Knox. Not to mention what Zuri told her before still stuck in her mind, she couldn’t brush it off. “Will he die if he doesn’t get his shattered soul?”

A small part of July, a tiny part of her, wished Chaos could just die and he wouldn’t take Knox from her.

As human, she wouldn’t live as long as Knox, but even when she died, the thought of Chaos took away his soul from Knox didn’t settle well with her. If she could, she wanted to kill him with her own hands...

Yet, July shook that idea, that was too far and too bold, she shouldn’t think that way. They were in this together, right? They were like family...

Family my arse, she didn’t need this creature...

The conflicted thought like that kept hovering in her mind, clouding her judgment.

“July, I am talking with you, are you listening?” Ciara asked her, she waved her hand in front of her face to get her attention. “What are you thinking right now?”

July grimaced and shook her head. “I am sorry, what is your question?” she asked her in small voice, she didn’t want to make things difficult for everyone and she needed to suppress that stupid idea. That was only a silly thought because she was not in a good state of mind.

Ciara looked at her for a few moment longer before she repeated what she asked before. “Have you slept with Knox?” she asked.

“What?” July didn’t expect this question at all, because they supposed to talk about Chaos’s well being, right? Not to talk about her and Knox.

“I don’t want to repeat the same question for the third time, July, I am sure you heard me well,” July said sternly. She sat down on the sofa, as her eyes stared at Norbeat, who was still sleeping. “So?”

“Ah, yes...” July grimaced. They slept together when Knox told her that he was going to end things between them, that was the first time they did that, because both of them were too emotional, she didn’t remember how that could happen, it started with her kissing him and then things escalated from there.

It was not that July regretted it, no, not even in a million times she regretted her moment with him. She was just a little bit confused about Ciara’s question.

She thought it was a secret between the three of them, so why she talked about it so recklessly inside the room with Chaos and Norbeat present?

“They are sleeping now,” Ciara answered that question, her eyes still fixed on Norbeat. “They will not hear anything.”

“Why are you asking?” July asked her, she could feel her heart beat so fast, was that working? She didn’t want to let her hope went so high, but she was having a hard time to hold herself back. “What is it?”

Ciara looked at her flat stomach and July became even more nervous when she looked at her that way. What was that meant? Was that meant she was...

“You know what will happen, Aaron had told you about this too, right?” Ciara said. She furrowed her brows, as she mumbled something.

“Yes... but, do you think it is possible?” July asked Ciara again, she was literally trembling. Was that even possible? She didn’t dare to think about that, she didn’t want to be disappointed and hurt herself because of that, but then she couldn’t help, but found herself hoped for this.

“Yeah...” Ciara mumbled hesitantly, she was not sure about how Aaron’s magic worked, but if he was sure about it, then it would happen the way it was.

“No way...” July wanted to keep her sanity, but her imagination had run so wild.

“But, in that case, you have another problem.” Ciara directed her eyes at Chaos.
