"Naturally, you should be scared of me." Chaos walked closer and found the girl sleeping, with her body curled into a fetal position, under the bed. She pressed her legs tightly to her chest, until her lips kissed her knees, while her white hair sprawled on the floor.

"You never scared me, Chaos, not even once," Anne said softly, as she looked at Chaos with pain in her eyes.

Chaos didn't heed her words as he pulled Blue's body, but the girl woke up when he grabbed her by the arm.

"Come out," Chaos said, it sounded like an order.

For a moment, Blue looked disoriented, she stared at Chaos and then rubbed her eyes, before the order dawned upon her and she crawled out of the bed.

The girl then yawned, as she sat down in front of Chaos and Anne, who were kneeling down before her eyes.

"Why are you sleeping down here?" Anne patted her head. "You should sleep on the bed."

"I feel safe down there," Blue replied, with a voice that made clear she was still sleepy. But, when she saw Chaos stand up and was about to leave, Blue immediately followed him. "Where are you going? I want to go with you."

Chaos stopped walking when Blue clutched the hem of his jacket, her hazel eyes shone under the light.

"I will see you later," Chaos said simply. He shook off Blue's hand and made her release his shirt. "While I am away, listen to Anne."

Blue didn't want to listen to anyone except him, but because he told her to do that, she would agree, after all, Anne was good, she gave her food and warm clothes.

"Okay." But, she still followed Chaos to the door when he was about to leave the room. "When can I see you again?"

"Later."

=================

The next morning, Anne took Blue to buy something for her to wear, since there was no child inside that house and all the clothes there were mostly for men. She didn't have many options and put this on the list of the first things that they needed to do in the morning.

"Where are you going?" Gael frowned when he saw Anne with Blue, the little girl was wearing a brown shirt that he recognized as one of Chaos's.

She knew what he smelled like, thus she wanted to wear only his clothes.

"I will take her to buy something for her to wear. There is nothing decent here for the little girl," Anne explained, as she made a call. She must be calling the driver to pick them up now in front of the house.

"Why? She looks gorgeous in that weird dress," Gael said lightly, he liked how Anne and Blue threw him a daggered look. "Take Antoni with you."

"No one will attack an old lady and a child," Anne refused.

"Oh, Anne… you know that the world is not a safe place anymore. You will be attacked regardless of your gender and age."

With that, Antoni and two other guards went with Anne to the shopping center, following the old lady on a shopping spree for the little girl.

Even though many men who worked in that manor struggled internally to know who the little girl was, no one was daring enough to ask the question.

They only assumed that the girl was an illegitimate daughter of one of the three dangerous men, the owner of this manor.

But, men who joined the attack mission to the Elmwood residence, didn't agree with that, as they knew that the girl was from that house.

"Where is Chaos?" Blue sat down beside Knox, who was watching a football game on the big screen in the living room.

She nudged his body a few times repeating the same question, but when she was ignored, she took the remote and changed the channel, receiving a glare from the man.

"Do you want to die?" he asked, tempted to burn this annoying girl alive.

"No, I want Chaos."

"Go, make your own chaos," Knox growled annoyed, he flicked his finger and changed the channel without the remote.

"Where is Chaos? It has been a week since he had come home," Blue said sullenly. "He said he will come back later."

Blue was wearing her favorite blue dress and her long white hair was tied above her head into a simple bun. She looked very cute, but unfortunately, she lived with a crowd that didn't know what the word 'cute' meant.

"When is this later?" Blue shook Knox's arm and even when she got a dagger look from him, she didn't stop.

And right at that moment, Gael walked into the room, with a cigarette in one hand and a brown envelope in his other hand.

"Wow, you two seem very close with each other," he said, laughing when Knox glared at him and immediately stood up.

However, because Blue was holding onto his arm, she almost fell from the sofa when Knox stood up all of a sudden.

Thankfully, Knox held her other hand and pushed her back, yet from the tips of her fingers, her claws had emerged, it was her reflex when she thought she would fall and without her knowing, she had grazed Knox's arm, leaving him with four glaring marks.

"Stop using your claws!" Knox snapped at her.

"I don't mean it," Blue said in a low voice. She felt wronged because she was being scolded.

"Don't you dare to bother me again." Knox rubbed his hand to heal himself and then walked away, leaving Blue and Gael, who was no longer laughing now.

"I don't mean it," Blue said sullenly after Knox was no longer inside the room.

Gael then walked toward her and sat down on the spot where Knox had been sitting earlier. "Don't mind him, he must be fighting with his girlfriend."
