母女的秘密授课

-William Shakespeare-

********************

“A lot of things happened, I have not looked into it yet,” Knox said, eyes staring into the distance while holding a cigarette between his fingers.

“You have not yet looked into it?” Chaos narrowed his eyes, with his arms folded in front of his chest, while his long black hair, tied behind his nape, fluttered in the night wind.

The two creatures from the same soul stood on the top of a tower in the middle of the city. No one would realize they were there, but again, who would have thought there was someone who would be in such a place.

“Yes,” Knox answered simply.

Chaos had asked him to look into the other pieces of his shattered soul and he even mentioned where Knox could look into them. It was such a clear command, but Knox neglected it too much.

It had been days and it didn’t make any sense that Knox had not yet found time to look for the information, while Chaos had narrowed the scope of places that he could look into.

.....

“Very convincing.” Chaos leaned his back against the wall behind him and looked into the distance. They looked alike, but for some reason, they were totally different. “I can get rid of you in a matter of seconds if you are useless to me.”

Knox was ingenious to hide his true emotions, even when he heard such a threat, he didn’t flinch at all. He knew that Chaos could end his life right there and then.

But then, this life was not his to begin with. He was just part of him that he could take away anytime he wanted to.

And in the end, he would meet his end, once he was the only piece of his shattered soul that was left.

“People from the Silver River pack came to me. They want to take the girl with them.” Knox sucked in his cigarette. “She is his niece and I am sure Gael mentioned that he had come to meet him.”

“Hm, I know.” Chaos shifted his attention to Knox. He looked at him intently through his dark blue eyes that hid thousands of thoughts. “I want information next time I see you. Don’t overstep your privilege.”

And after saying that, Chaos disappeared from his sight, as if he was not there in the first place, leaving Knox with his own thoughts.

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

Gael knew that this became a bad habit, but he couldn’t help it. He couldn’t sleep before he saw her first. To make sure that she was fine, that everything was all right with her and their baby.

Now, before his eyes, was Lise, sleeping soundly with her lips slightly parted, as a few locks of her hair fell on her face.

Gael caressed her head and brushed away the hair from her face to kiss her cheek. The skin under his lips was very soft and he wanted more of her.

D*mn! It was a curse for being so greedy. He was greedy for her...

Gael caressed her flat stomach and landed a kiss there, while whispering to his unborn child. “I love you... I can’t wait to see you.”

And after he finished with his routine, Gael simply disappeared into the dark. Only then did Lise open her eyes...

She touched her flat stomach and felt tears stream down her cheeks. She couldn’t love him...

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

“I am sick,” Nikolai said in a hoarse voice. “I will give back the clothes to you when we meet at school.”

“You don’t need to give the clothes back, no one will be able to wear them anyway.” Came Blue’s answer through the phone. Nikolai finally called her after two days of being absent because he was sick.

And then from the background, Blue could hear someone calling Nikolai’s name aggressively. That man seemed very upset because he took so long to make a phone call.

“See you at school,” Nikolai said hurriedly and cut the conversation between them, as he ran toward his room, where his step father had been waiting for him in front of the piano.

“You need to practice now and I don’t want you to slack off again!” He tapped his feet impatiently against the floor, his eyes bored into the little boy’s soul. “Or there is no food for you two!”

Nikolai walked into his bedroom, which only consisted of his bed, a cabinet and the piano. There were no posters of superheroes on the wall, just like the other kids his age, but there were a lot of music books scattered on his bedroom floor and bed.

The little boy sat down and touched the piano. He flinched as if that instrument bit him and started to create the music that his stepfather wanted, so he could leave him and his little sister alone.

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

“What happened?” Anne was fixing Blue’s hair when she saw her sullen expression, with a pout on her lips. “Something wrong?”

“My friend can’t make it to the wedding. He is sick,” she informed her. She didn’t want to attend this wedding especially when she didn’t know what to do during this party, but apparently Gael brushed all of her excuses off.

And now that Nikolai couldn’t make it, it only made Blue feel even down.

“You should hope he will get better soon.” Anne finished her hair and gave a pat to her cheek. “Why don’t you go to the other room and meet the bride? I think you will love to see her.”

“Is it okay?”

“Of course.”

Blue jumped from her seat and walked toward the door. She was curious about the poor woman that would marry Gael.

And now that they were only two rooms apart, she could see her before the wedding ceremony.

No one stopped her from entering the room, since they knew that she was part of the McKeltar family and let her walk into the bride’s dressing room freely.
