Fear and anxiety were written all over Kace's face when he said that.And then, he lowered his head again.
"The beast scares you?" Hope repeated what he said and stretched out her arms to hug him.
Kace didn't move, he stayed still when Hope engulfed him in her warm embrace. She rested her chin on top of his head.Though this position hurt her knees, Hope stayed that way anyway.
"Why are you scared of the beast?" Hope asked again, she stroke Kace's back soothingly. "Isn't the beast a part of you?"
Hope could feel Kace shook his head as he muttered. "No, I don't want him… he's so mean."
A frown crept over Hope's face when she heard that, yet she didn't say anything and let Kace finish his words.
"He wants to kill everything. He always forces me to kill." Kace shook his head once again. "I don't want it."
Hope fell silent for a moment, when she thought about this before she said, "Can I meet the beast?"
