Chapter 383: 383

383 THE OLD TREE (2)

Zuri woke up with a start when she realized that Chaos was not beside her. She extended her hand to find him, but the ground was so cold, which indicated he had gone for a long time now.

She immediately opened her eyes and sat down, while skimming around her to no avail. She couldn’t find Chaos anywhere. Her heart was beating so fast at this rate, as she stood up and kicked the old tree.

“Old tree! Come out! Where did you take Chaos!?” she shouted at him. She had warned him before not to play these kinds of tricks on her, or else she would burn this tree to the ground. Ancient or not, he shouldn’t piss her off at a time like this.

And when she didn’t get what she wanted, Zuri kicked the tree until the old familiar face appeared from the surface of the bark. He scrunched his brows, as he stared at her disapprovingly.

“I don’t remember that you are very violent like this,” the old tree complained. “The nymph that I saw...”

“I am not that nymph!” Zuri was irritated to be addressed as that nymph again and again. Well, maybe in the other lifetime she was that nymph, but in this lifetime, she was definitely not that. “Where is Chaos? Where did you take him?!”

That nymph was not as violent as her because she didn’t experience the things that Zuri had been through. She had gone through so much to be so delicate.

She would have died a long time ago if she showed any weakness.

“I have been here for as long as I can remember, how can I take Chaos somewhere?” the old tree said, defending himself. “If you ask me politely, maybe I can let you know where he is right now. You need to treat your old man with more respect, young lady.”

.....

“You are not my old man,” Zuri argued with him. “I don’t even know if you are a man or not. As far as I know, mother nature is a woman. Aw!”

Zuri stumbled on her feet and fell on her butt when all of sudden a root came out protruding from beneath the ground.

“What is that for?!” Zuri tried to stand up and dust herself off.

“The nymph is not that rude, she is so sweet,” the old tree protested.

“I told you countless times, I am not that nymph! Why did you keep insisting I am her?” Zuri could feel her frustration eating her patience up. But then, she sniffed the air and thought; nevermind. She could find Chaos, she caught his scent, he was not far from here.

And at that, Zuri rushed toward him, yet the tree didn’t let her go that easily. The branches around the tree tried to tackle her down and the ground started shaking beneath it. The tree’s roots were trying to reach her.

“What are you trying to do!?” Zuri hissed, as she tried to avoid the attack. “I thought we were friends.”

“No! You kicked me earlier!” the old tree replied, quite upset.

Well, Zuri had to admit that was not a nice move, but she was panicked because Chaos was nowhere to be found and moreover, she didn’t think she kicked him so hard until she upset him, right?

In the end, a root managed to wrap itself around her ankle, which made her fall face first to the ground and she screamed in pain when she could feel the hard dirt on her face.

However, when she turned her body around, she watched in horror when a few branches moved really fast toward her, as if they were trying to stab her.

“CHAOS!” Zuri screamed at the top of her lungs, while curling her body on the ground, as she covered her head with both of her arms.

She was waiting for the impending pain, as the branches approached her, but it didn’t come, instead, she felt a pair of strong arms scooping her up and only then did Zuri open her eyes to see Chaos staring at her with concern in his dark eyes.

His eyes had not yet turned to their original color.

“Are you hurt?”

Zuri raised her feet and looked at her ankle. It was the first time she hated it that she healed so fast. She couldn’t show him her bruises, because they had faded away by now.

“No, I am fine, but the tree tackled me earlier,” Zuri said with accusation evident in her voice, as she glared at the face on the tree.

Chaos then walked back to the tree and sat her down on a protruding root, as he checked on her ankle, yet it had already healed. There was no trace of him assaulting her earlier.

After making sure Zuri was fine, Chaos shot a dagger look at the tree, who then simply retreated back, as it returned to its original shape.

“I will burn you down if you hurt her again,” Chaos said, which was the same exact thing that Zuri said last night and this made her chuckle a little bit.

Poor tree...

“Where have you been?” Zuri asked when Chaos shifted his attention back to her. She was sitting on the root, while Chaos was kneeling down in front of her. He looked calm enough and his expression showed that he was in control of himself right now, which was a relief to her.

“I remember this place, but the memories are a little vague,” Chaos explained. He took a look around him and realized this was the same place that he knew, especially the tree. He felt the place was quite familiar to him.

“What should we do now?” Zuri asked him.

Chaos furrowed his brows. “How did we end up here?”

“You don’t remember?” Zuri was surprised to learn about this, especially when Chaos confirmed that he didn’t remember what had happened.
