Chapter 173: YOU WILL FIND YOUR WAY BACK

Today was a very tiring day, where July had to run from one place to another to take care of a few things.

This place could still stand because of the business that Knox left behind was still running and the profit of it was enough to manage the organization that oppose The Hound.

Sometime, July wondered, whether she did this because she wanted to irk her father or she did this because she wanted when Knox returned, there would be a safe place for him, for someone like him, the non- human being.

Or probably, it was a little bit of both.

July pinched the bridge of her nose, she wanted to take a warm shower and then slumped to her comfortable bed, took a good rest after a long bustling day.

However, when she was about to reach her bedroom, she saw someone was standing near the door, leaning her body against the wall, staring at her with her impassive eyes.

"Zuri," July called for her. She almost forgot about her. It was indeed almost midnight and she had told her to make a decision before it.

Zuri straightened her back and spoke without missing a beat. "I will do it," she said.

July was slightly surprised by her answer, she thought she needed to coax the young shifter to take the job, but apparently she had her own thought regarding this matter.

"Where are you going?" July asked when she watched her walked away toward different direction from her bedroom.

Zuri stopped walking and turned around to face July, her expression didn't change a little bit. "I wait for you just to tell you that."

Hearing what Zuri said, July wondered, how long she had been waiting there and made up her mind to come up with that decision.

"Great," July said. "We will leave early tomorrow morning." And the only thing that she received was only a curt nod from her, as she fixed the collar of her jacket around her neck, to cover the mark. "The mark…" she started and the question died down in her lips when she saw a danger flickered in her hazel eyes.

"You better not asking something that is not your concern," Zuri spoke rigidly and then walked away.

Only when Zuri's figure was no longer could be seen that July could sigh deeply, it almost felt like she just dodged a bullet that shot straight to her head.

She didn't remember that the girl was very scary like this…

Well, eight years were a lot of time and a lot of things could happen and some time the wound could be seen like the mark on Zuri's neck, but the worst was the wound that you were not able to see, so it was hard to heal…

The white hair girl walked away from the direction of her bedroom, but it seemed July knew where she was heading to.

Zuri felt comfortable when her senses hit this familiar scent around the library, among the old books that surrounded her, only if the fireplace was lit up, it would be perfect.

She walked toward the sofa. They change the sofa, probably because the old one has been ruined, as she could see how much July tried to keep this house original.

Zuri sank her body on the comfortable sofa and hugged herself, as she was staring at the fireplace. She used to do this in the past and now she did it again only so she could feel the remaining part of her. She lost herself, the girl was finally home, but her heart couldn't find peace.

However, before she could close her eyes, she heard the sound of the door was being opened and she didn't need to move her body to know, whose coming here to find her.

"Blue, are you asleep?" Anne asked softly, she brought a blanket with her, as she approached the sofa, where she could see her white hair.

Zuri pushed herself up and sat down, so she could give space for her to sit.

Anne sighed deeply, as she sat down next to Zuri, yet the girl flinched and tried to make a distance between them.

Knowing this, Anne tried to keep her desire to hug her and didn't invade her space. She didn't know what she had gone through, but when July mentioned to her about the mark on Zuri's neck and now she saw it herself, she could guess it for the worse.

"You skip your dinner," Anne said softly. "I cooked your favorite food, Blue."

That was the reason why she skipped her dinner, because she didn't want to see her, she was not ready, but then, this was unavoidable and she would go tomorrow, thus the sooner the better she faced this.

"Anne, I am not the girl that you know." She lifted her head and for the first time for today, she held her gaze and Anne could see how much damage in her after those eight years. "And stop calling me Blue. That's not my name."

Anne stretched out her hand, but Zuri frowned and out of instinct, she backed away, yet she held her hand anyway.

This small gesture revoked something in her and her repulsion almost made Zuri wanted to claw her face, just to get rid of her hand from hers.

Yet, she endured it. Her body was stiffened, as she held her breath to get a better control of herself.

"You are always the little girl that I know." Anne looked at her gently. "You will always be my girl. You are just lost and you will find your way back, just like how you did right now. You return to this house and I have never more felt grateful for that." She repeated her words again. "You will find your way back, Blue."

Zuri gritted her teeth, this emotions overwhelmed her, suffocating.
