母女的秘密授课

‘We can let you know where to find her, but what will you give us in return?’ one of the monsters asked.

“I will offer you nothing,” Chaos said firmly. His gaze was fixed on the darkness in front of him. It looked like dark smoke that was very thick and moved continuously, but the fact was; there were thousands of monsters inside of it.

And Chaos must fight them all in order to reach Blue, but the harsh truth was; he didn’t know where exactly the little girl’s soul was.

She could be behind that eerie and deathly dark smoke, or she could be somewhere else. This underworld was a realm that was so vast, filled with so many manipulations and hallucinations. It was filled with torture and all of these monsters wanted to be released from this hell.

Therefore, it was not hard to guess what they wanted in exchange for the whereabouts of Blue’s soul.

‘Keep your arrogant head and you will lose her forever.’ There were many crackle sounds that echoed throughout this vast and dim space. ‘You have wasted so much time already, your time is ticking to save her or else, when it is too late, you will not be able to save even her soul.’

It sounded very displeasing in Chaos’ ears to have threatened this way. It irritated him grimly.

But, just like what Hades said, he wouldn’t be there to help him, he needed to find his own way to Blue and take her out of this realm.

.....

Yet, he said nothing about creating another chaos in this realm, right?

It was fine with Chaos if he didn’t want to help him, but Hades shouldn’t cry and complain to him when he turned his realm upside down.

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

Sol took Lise to the hospital and along the way, they said nothing at all. Tension plagued their journey there and every second that passed felt like another suffering moment that Lise had gone through.

Even when they were at the lobby, and Lise asked to see an Ob- Gyn to check her pregnancy, they didn’t utter a single to each other.

Lise glanced at Sol, but the man said nothing at all about it, he just silently accompanied her in the waiting room, sitting beside her and giving her a glass of water to help her calm down.

He didn’t touch her, because he realized, every time he was trying to be close to her, she would flinch.

And when it was time for Lise to enter the room, Sol held her hand for a moment, as he talked to her the first time since they left the motel.

“Do you want me to come?” He would respect whatever her answer would be.

For a moment, Lise was taken aback with the question, she averted her gaze, because she couldn’t look him in the eyes yet.

“No,” she said softly.

“Okay.” Sol nodded and released her hand, letting her go to the control room alone.

However, after taking the second step, Lise changed her mind and turned around to face him, looking him right in the eyes this time. “I changed my mind, can you come with me?” her voice was barely a whisper, but Sol could hear her without a problem.

He nodded and followed her. He took her hand carefully to see if she was comfortable enough with his touch, and when she let him, Sol intertwined their fingers, as if giving her the strength that she needed to go through this.

The Ob- Gyn was a female doctor, who looked to be in her mid forties and mistook Sol as her husband, when she saw the ring on Lise’s finger.

She had not yet taken the ring off, not because she liked it, but she completely forgot about that piece of sh*t.

There were a lot of nights that Lise had to go through without being able to sleep soundly, as the guilty feeling gnawed at her heart, she felt like she was being eaten alive.

The fact that the disaster happened because she pushed Blue from the edge of the building and the way Gael told them to leave immediately.

The man even let her go with Sol, it must be because of something that he saw on the ground that night, or someone powerful enough to create such a disaster.

They were supernatural creatures after all and Lise had witnessed Gael’s power. If he was afraid, it must be that there was someone more powerful than him that he saw there.

“Miss Lise?” the doctor called her out when Lise dazed out.

“Ah, yes, I am sorry,” Lise said apologetically, shaking her head to gather her focus.

“It seems your wife is distracted,” the doctor smiled softly at Sol. “You are her husband, right?” she wanted to make sure of it, since Lise wrote down her own name.

Sol didn’t even bat an eye when he answered, “yes.”

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

Chaos felt every step that he took had drained his energy bit by bit, he could feel himself weakening when he strode toward the warm white light at the end of this pathline, leaving destruction behind him.

He knew there would be great consequences that he had to face for what he had done in this realm, but for now, that was not his focus.

She was his focus and would be the only focus that he had in his lonely eternity.

The moment Chaos felt the warm bright light, he could see the little girl, hugging herself with her white hair scattered around her body and the ground beneath her.

Chaos came closer and dropped to his knees, mostly because his strength deteriorated so fast, but also because he wanted to see her face closely.

His hand stretched out, as he caressed her cheek. “I finally found you again...”
