Chapter 171: GET BACK THE MCKELTAR

Zuri didn't mean to avoid Anne's advance, though there were a lot of emotions that ran through her feeling right now and a lot of thing roamed in her mind, but she didn't find herself was able to hate her.

The situation and the circumstances at that time was very complicated and she realized, they though that was the best for her, since she was only a child and her understanding was very limited.

However, the thought that Anne would hug her, wrapped her arms around her body and felt her breathing to her skin, made Zuri backed away, the repulsion that she felt returned and she found herself had a hard time to breathe.

Not only that, she couldn't fake her feeling in time and Anne caught her expression. The confusion was so clear in her eyes.

"Blue? What happened?" she asked, her voice was so soothing in her ears, but Zuri couldn't find herself wanted to be close to her.

"I miss you, Anne." That was the only word that Zuri could offer for her. To show her a tiny bit of her feeling right now. She missed her, she missed all the stories that she told her when she was a child. But that little girl was no longer exist. She had turned herself into something else…

"I miss you too, Blue," Anne said, she looked hesitated to approach her again.

On the other hand, Zuri caught a glance of July, who narrowed her eyes at the spot on her neck, she knew it was still swollen and would always like that until she could accept it, albeit her mate had died.

Unconsciously, Zuri pulled the collar of her jacket up, to cover the mark.

=======================   

Eros nudged Emily's body, waited until she opened the blanket that covered her head. She looked at Eros with her swollen eyes.

"There is food down there, do you want to go and get it?" Eros asked her softly and then saw the little girl was about to shrink into her blanket again, thus he talked hurriedly. "They went out a few minutes ago," he told her.

Eros could hear the little girl sniffled her tears and then opened the blanket. Her big hazel eyes looked at him, waiting for him to go first.

"Come." Eros stood up and then offered his hand to her, as he helped her to her feet. Emily didn't forget to bring the worn out teddy bear with her and followed Eros to the kitchen.

This house was no longer could be said as a living place, since there were a lot of things that scattered on the floor and trash everywhere. It was miracle that they could find something to eat.

"Carefull, there is broken glass there," Eros warned Emily, as he pointed at the spot where broken glass from a bottle scattered on the floor.

Emily nodded, she walked closer toward Eros, clung to him.

They walked through the narrow corridor and past the room, where the other night Josh beaten her and she watched how he smacked the woman that they called 'mother' untils she lost consciousness.

Emily shuddered and clutched to Eros's hand tightly. She pressed her body against him, trembling.

On the other hand, Eros knew what made the little girl afraid and then fastened his pace to go to the kitchen to find the remaining food that Josh and his wife left before they went out.

"Here, eat this," Eros gave the biggest portion of cold pizza on the table and watched Emily took a big bit on it, she was starving.

On the other hand, Eros took the small portion that was left on the box, before he threw it. Actually, it was not enough for him. He wanted more, but he couldn't bring himself to take the pizza that he had given to Emily.

However, the little girl lifted her head and looked at him with her big doe eyes, then stretched out her small arms, put the pizza under his nose.

"Take a bite," she said with her childish voice.

"I have eaten."

"Just a bite," she insisted, shoving the pizza to his lips until he took a small bite.

They were hungry and this pizza wouldn't be able to satisfy them, but at least it was enough for them to last until evening and hoped there would be another left food when those two people returned.

And no more beating…

===================   

Zuri ate slowly her lunch.

Even though she was hungry, she couldn't enjoy her food at all under the curious gaze of Anne and July, who looked like she was rather impatient to talk to her.

And when the situation became even more uncomfortable, Zuri pushed her plate, which she just ate half of her food.

"What do you want to say?" Zuri was only thankful because Hades was not there to disturb her. She didn't need distraction right now.

"Blue," July started, but Zuri stopped her.

"Call me Zuri, that's my name," she said calmly, so calm until it made Anne frowned. She knew the little girl that she had raised for a few months, but she didn't know the young girl before her eyes.

The way she talked, the way she avoided her eyes from her and how she looked not comfortable, even with herself, that was not the young and cheerful girl that she knew.

"Zuri," July said, corrected her words. "I know that this is too sudden…"

"Let's spare our time and get straight to the business," Zuri said, her tone didn't change at all and her expression was very stoic.

For a brief moment, July glanced at Anne, but of course they couldn't talk about what they think right now about Zuri.

Therefore, July cut the sweet talk and get straight to the main topic. "I want you to help me."

"With?" Zuri knew what she wanted.

"To get back the McKeltar."
