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.

“What happened to him? Did he find all the pieces of his shattered soul?” Blue asked, hugging her white teddy bear, while laying down on Anne’s bed. She stared at the old woman eagerly, wanting to learn more details of the story.

“No, not yet,” Anne said, she caressed her head, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.

“He must be lonely,” Blue said, as she hugged her teddy bear closer to her. “I was very lonely when I was stuck in that human house.” The little girl was talking about the time when she was separated from her father and had to stay in her wolf form for two years.

“Yes, I guess so.”

“Then what happened?”

“He found many of his shattered souls after killing so many, but no one knew how many he had to collect before his soul became whole again.”

“Did he kill all of them?” Blue stared at Anne expectantly, eager to hear another closure for this sad story.

Meanwhile, Anne contemplated for a while before she answered her. “Not all. He let one of his shattered souls survive.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.” Anne shrugged her shoulders. “Maybe because he was lonely and needed a friend, or maybe he needed someone to talk to, to understand his condition. Or maybe he needed him to help him find the other pieces of his shattered soul, since there were so many of them.”

“And both of them worked together to find the other pieces?”

“Yes. The two of them.” Anne repeated Blue’s words and then added. “Until the God of Destruction took pity on an orphan little girl and she joined them.”

“Like what Chaos did to me?”

“Yes, like what Chaos did to you.”

“He is not a bad guy.”

Anne smiled when she heard that. “Yes, he is not a bad guy.”

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

“You look so pale, are you alright? Do you want to see a doctor?” a young maid asked Lise in the morning when she came to inform her that the car was ready to take her to a jewelry store, where she could see her step sister, Trisha.

“No, I am fine.” Lise rose to her feet and slightly lost her balance, but she steadied herself immediately.

Lise needed to see Trisha, not only because she would go crazy if she stayed inside the house and didn’t meet anyone that she could talk to, but because she needed to ask her a favor.

It took about thirty minutes for Lise to arrive at the jewelry store, where Trisha had been waiting for her.

“How are you feeling?” Trisha asked her, but Lise leaned over to her step sister to whisper something.
