198 REMEMBER THIS MOMENT
“Say it again and I will claim your soul.” Chaos was dead serious when he said that. He was not someone to throw empty threats at his opponent, but he would do exactly what he said.
Therefore, one sentence from him was enough to make Knox stop talking, but he glared at Chaos for saying such a thing.
Claiming his soul, it meant he would cease to exist, he wouldn’t be in this realm anymore nor would there be anyone that remembers him.
All the memories about him would be wiped out from all the people that knew him, completely. This was one of the reasons why there was not much uproar when people suddenly disappeared, as no one would remember them, because those shattered souls were not meant to exist in the first place.
Though there were some rare cases, there were one or two people that still remembered the shattered soul.
All of this happened because of the repercussions of Chaos’ decision centuries ago. Knox didn’t know for sure the reason why he got his soul shattered.
However, for Chaos to remind him of it made Knox a little bit upset.
It was not a problem for Knox before, he had agreed with Chaos the first time they met, he would let him claim his soul as the last one, because he had a big piece of his soul in him, which meant, Knox could be said as the creature that was as strong as Chaos, it would be a waste if he claimed his soul now when Knox could help him to get all the other shattered souls.
“You will never do that,” Knox hissed finally. He looked at the blind and injured man in front of him. “I will not let her do this again to you.”
.....
However, as an answer, Chaos placed his hand over Knox’s chest and immediately, the pain made him gasp loudly. His movement was so fast, despite his bleeding shoulder and his sight less state. He knew exactly Knox’s position and predicted it precisely.
He didn’t look blind at all.
“Stop... it...” Knox gasped loudly, he could feel his head spinning while his insides started burning. He wanted to push Chaos’ hand away, but he didn’t have the energy to do that, all of his strength was being sucked out of his body.
This was the pain that the shattered soul would go through when Chaos claimed his soul back.
This agony would last longer and it would only grow more unbearable because Knox, literally, was almost as strong as Chaos himself.
“Damn it, Chaos... stop it.” Knox’s voice faltered, he stammered. He didn’t want to cease to exist, since it meant he would never see July anymore.
And she would forget everything about him...
Every touch, every kiss, every story about them and also their feelings...
“Stop Chaos, stop... I understood,” Knox gritted his teeth, he tried to fight back, but in this position, there was no way he could counter strike him...
In this position, he was powerless...
However, when the situation was getting serious and Knox thought it would be the end, the door flung open, and July and Anne entered the room.
“What happened here?” Anne asked, as she and July walked closer.
Only then, Chaos retracted his hand from Knox’s chest and he fell to the floor, clutching at his chest, gasping for air. His face was so pale.
‘Remember this moment.’
The words echoed in Knox’ head and no one heard that except for him. Next time he wouldn’t be so lucky.
July immediately came to Knox’s side, while Anne went to Chaos, but none of the women knew exactly what had transpired between them, including the fact that Knox would have ceased to exist had they come a little bit late.
======================
“Is Chaos in his room?” was the first question that Zuri asked July when they met in the kitchen.
It was morning and last night was a chaotic night, an unexpected encounter with Nikolai, which led to a strange situation between the three of them.
Zuri had to take Nikolai to the hospital for the injuries that he had suffered and had to dodge every question that Nikolai threw at her about Chaos and why he wanted to kill him.
She tried to tell him that it was only a misunderstanding and then admitted that he was a supernatural creature. Zuri managed to make Nikolai promise to not say a word about it, but she didn’t know whether he could be trusted.
Eight years were enough to change someone. People change, shit happens and here Zuri was...
“Yes,” July replied, she looked at Zuri up and down. “You look horrible.”
“Thanks,” Zuri murmured, as she poured a glass of water for herself and then gulped it down. “Let me take that.”
Anne was putting breakfast into a plate, which was meant for Chaos. It was a good excuse for her to talk to him.
“Did you stab him again?” Anne asked Zuri, giving the tray to her.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because he is a jerk,” Zuri cursed under her breath and then took the tray from Anne’s hands, and walked away from the two women.
After Zuri left the kitchen, July and Anne stared at each other, their brows furrowed.
“I think Chaos did something that upset her,” July commented. She shrugged her shoulders, not wanting to be bothered by the two of them, since she had someone that demanded her attention.
Knox had been very sick since last night and July had never seen him this sick before, while Gael was missing.
The last thing that July heard was that he went to get Lise back, but she didn’t know the details, yet she had asked Sebastian to look into it.
=====================
Zuri entered Chaos’ room and saw him standing near the window, in only his blue pants, while his shirt lay on the bed. His long, black hair fluttered by the wind. His shoulder was bandaged tightly.
