Chapter 385: 385

385 SHE REFUSED TO BACK DOWN

“I DON’T WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING!” Zuri SNAPPED. She had enough of hearing what Chaos had to say. “I don’t want to do the right thing!” she repeated her words. “Do you know how I felt when I almost killed you?! Do you know how it feels?!”

Chaos stood up, his body towered above her and Zuri looked very small compared to him, yet this little girl was so fierce, she didn’t back down at all when she glared at him with pain in her eyes. She tried to hold back her anger, but she couldn’t.

Or maybe it was not anger, it was fear... fear of losing him. Fear that one day she would end up killing him. She was so close to doing that that night.

Yet, Chaos didn’t seem to budge when Zuri looked at him that way. He returned her glare calmly, as he extended his hand to touch her, but Zuri swatted his hand so hard.

He didn’t mind it, but it must be painful for her to hit him with all of her might, as she hissed, while cradling her own hand. She felt like she just punched a hard rock.

“Apparently, even when I don’t do anything I still hurt you,” Chaos said softly, as he took her hand.

“You didn’t hurt me, I hurt myself!” Zuri retorted as she looked at Chaos fiercely. “Don’t talk to me like that! I don’t like it!”

“There are a lot of things that you don’t like,” Chaos replied. He wrapped her hand in his and the pain subsided in an instant. “You broke your finger.” He narrowed his eyes, as he looked at the girl. “Are you really trying to hit me?”

“Yes!” Zuri shouted. “Can’t you see that?!”

.....

Chaos then pulled her closer to hug her. “You shouldn’t do that with a bare hand. It will only hurt you.” He kept hugging her even though she was trying to free herself from him, but in the end, when she finally realized it was a futile attempt, she calmed down and then cried again.

This was embarrassing, since Zuri had never cried so hard like this. It had been a long time since she let anyone see her in such a vulnerable state, but then Chaos was not just ‘any other person’.

Time treated both of them differently. They had known each other even before all of this happened. They had been through a lot of things and lost some of their memories, yet they still found a way to be together.

Zuri didn’t know, she didn’t have any idea that the bond between her and Chaos was deeper than what she thought. There was a story behind them and that was not a good one at all.

“Stop hurting yourself like this,” Chaos said softly. He hugged her very tightly, as he buried his face in the crook of her neck before breathing in her scent. He loved the way Zuri’s soft body pressed against his and he didn’t want to let her go even for a second. “Stop fighting me, Blue,” he whispered softly.

“I will keep fighting you when you become unreasonable.” She didn’t want to kill Chaos, no matter what the reason was. No matter what she promised him before this. “I will never do that again.”

Yet, Chaos closed his eyes. He didn’t respond to that, but he knew there would come a day where he would put her in that situation again and she needed to make the same decision.

“I will not kill you.” There was determination in her voice when she said that and she meant every word.

You will never know what the future has in store for you.

That was the answer that Chaos couldn’t say out loud for her, because he knew what kind of reaction that she would give him.

Chaos let Zuri cry like that in front of him, since this was something that rarely happened. Ever since they started traveling together, they had seen a lot of gruesome scenes. Not even once Zuri had flinched, or even shed tears for those who died when Chaos retracted his soul back. She would watch calmly as everything unfolded.

But right now, she was very emotional. She looked very hurt because Chaos had forced her to do something like that and even praised her for what she had done. How could he do that to her?

“Why did you ask me to do this?” Zuri asked him after her sobs died down, but she still refused to show her face, as she snuggled into his chest. “Do you know how much it hurt me to stab you like that? To think that I have lost you?” Zuri gritted her teeth, she was trying so hard to not dwell on this, but it was so hard, as the feeling of losing him returned. The burden of her considering killing him would haunt her forever.

Chaos didn’t answer her immediately, he wanted to make his words sound as simple as possible, because there were a lot of things that words couldn’t describe, but one thing for sure and this was the thing that he knew he wanted the most.

Chaos knew it was selfish of him to ask Zuri to do this, but...

“Because there is no other face that I want to see except yours. I want you to be the last person I see when that happens.” Chaos kissed her head and caressed her back, he did everything to make her feel better, but there was nothing he could do to assure her.

“No!” Zuri cried. “There must be a way! There must be a way!” Zuri then freed herself from him, and lifted her head to look at Chaos. “If we can find a way to find each other after everything that happened, we will find a way to be together too.”

Zuri refused to back down and succumb to the same fate as they did in their previous lives.
