****************
Blue remembered Chaos's scent, it was the scent of coffee and when she caught his scent, she immediately jumped off the bed and ran toward the source of it.
She had been living in this manor for more than two months now, so it was natural for her to already know every corner of this place. She had a really good memory for a child her age, too…
The coffee scent that belonged to Chaos led her toward the west part of this manor. She ran past a few guards, who were familiar with her.
Some of them asked the little girl where she was running off to, but she didn't reply to them because her focus was on finding Chaos before he left again.
She stopped running when she ran past a door that led to one of the dozens of rooms in this manor. She sniffed the air and walked back until she was standing right in front of a wooden door in the color of dark brown, behind from which she smelled his scent.
Without knocking, Blue pushed open that door and walked inside.
"Chaos?" she called him. "Are you here?" She turned on all the lights to illuminate the entire room, before she walked in further.
It was another room that was filled with many papers.
Somehow, Blue was curious as to why they needed to keep all these papers rather than to throw them away, especially when they stacked them away on shelves, as if those old papers with the ink on them almost faded away, were really important.
"Chaos?" She called him again and found him in the middle of the room, holding a grey book in his hand. He closed the book that he was reading as soon as his eyes found her.
"What are you doing here?" His blue eyes stared into her hazel ones.
This room smelled like damp paper and a little bit sour. Her nose scrunched in disgust. Blue wanted to go out of this place immediately, but she didn't do it, because she found Chaos here.
"I smelled your scent," Blue said, she walked closer to Chaos and looked straight into his blue eyes, the same way she stared at him during their first meeting, without any fear or whatsoever. "So, I came here."
Chaos furrowed his brows. "You smelled my scent?" he repeated the statement, making sure he heard right. "How can you smell my scent?"
Blue tilted her head, not sure of the question that Chaos asked her. "I smelled you. Your scent, I sniffed the air, I breathed and I smelled your scent," she tried to explain, but when Chaos didn't seem to understand her words, she tried her harder.
On the other hand, Chaos looked confused, not because he didn't understand what this little girl tried to tell him, but because no one should be able to smell him. He wasn't supposed to have any scent.
"How do I smell?" Chaos cut off her words when she tried in various ways to explain to him. She was quite a chatterbox…
"Like coffee," she answered without hesitation.
"What are you doing when you smell my scent?"
Blue blinked her eyes, confused why she was asked this question, yet she answered him anyway. "I was about to sleep and I almost fell asleep when I smelled your scent."
"You are in your bedroom?" Chaos watched as she nodded her head. It was strange. Her bedroom was supposed to be quite far from this place. But, how did she even manage to catch his scent when he wasn't supposed to have any scent to begin with?
"What happened?" Blue asked, her eyes then darted to the book in Chaos's hand. "What book is that? Is that a bedtime story? Anne has been teaching me how to read and write and I am really good at it now. Anne said I learn fast!" She told him all of that and waited for some praises, but Chaos said nothing.
"I will tell you if you can find me again."
"Huh?"
But after saying that, Chaos disappeared right before Blue's eyes along with the book in his hand, making the little girl groan in frustration.
"Not again…" she whined and grumbled as she stomped her feet against the hard floor when she walked out of the room, after turning off the lights.
She sniffed the air, but this time, it took a bit longer for the wind to carry his scent over to her.
================
"You should have known by now what the function of a door is," Knox said disdainfully when he saw Chaos appearing inside his room all of a sudden from the corner of his eyes.
His room was next to his, but it was rare for both of them to use them when they would spend most of their time outside.
"Don't open the door," Knox grumbled, he flicked his hand to close the door to the balcony that Chaos had opened.
However, Chaos opened it again. "Let some fresh air enter this smelly room."
Knox glared at him. He was trying to sleep, but this man just had to ruin his night. It had been two weeks since he got enough sleep.
"Get out."
Yet, Knox knew very well those words alone wouldn't be able to drive him out, but he couldn't throw him out of his door either, thus it only left him with one choice; ignoring him altogether.
Meanwhile, Chaos sat on the single sofa in this dimly lit room, trying to understand how that girl could smell him. Was that only a coincidence?
Chaos waited for her to find him here. If what she said was true, then she would show up soon.
Another minute passed before hasty footsteps could be heard, echoing in the corridor before rapid knocks broke the serenity of the night.
"Chaos!" Blue shouted from behind the door.
"I WILL KILL THIS GIRL!" Knox was infuriated when he heard that noisy sound.

Time: the healer and the killer.

***************
The rapid sounds of Blue's small fists bumping against the door seemed to drain Knox's last ounce of patience.
At first, it was Chaos and now this little annoying girl.
"I WILL KILL THIS GIRL!" Knox swore, infuriated when he heard the noisy sounds and jumped off the bed to open the door.
Behind it, was Blue, standing in her stupid strawberry pyjamas. She lifted her head and looked at Knox straight in his eyes, without any fear at all, though his expression was so dark.
"I want to see Chaos," she said and without any permission, she walked past him and found the man that she had been looking for, sitting on the couch. "I found you!" she said happily.
Knox walked back inside, toward the two people and glared at both of them fiercely. "Did you two just make my bedroom your meeting point?!" he asked incredulously. Not even bothering to think how ridiculous it sounded.
"I found you!" Blue said cheerfully, she grinned at him, showing her white tiny teeth, waiting for a praise from him, but Chaos only stared at her, while Knox continued scolding her. "I found you…" she repeated her words, only her voice was slightly low this time.
"You really can smell my scent?"
"Yes," Blue said enthusiastically, she was now standing beside Chaos.
"What about him? Can you smell him too?" Chaos nodded his head toward Knox, who had stopped nagging her when he heard Blue could smell Chaos. It was an impossible feat.
Blue cocked her head and glanced over at Knox briefly, "Yes, I can smell him."
"What does he smell like?"
"Coffee."
It was almost the same scent that she smelled from Chaos.
"Impossible." Knox walked over and sat on the sofa opposite Chaos.
"The same scent as me?" Chaos asked again.
Blue then looked at Knox. "Hm… almost… he smells like coffee too, but a little bit different."
"What is the difference between us?" Chaos leaned over to hear her answer.
"It's like…" she looked up, trying to find the right words to say. "It's like coffee with a different flavor."
Hearing that answer, Knox looked at Chaos, whose attention was totally on the little girl. Blue was sitting on the other sofa now, looking at Knox and Chaos back and forth, waiting what their reaction would be.
Blue thought she had done a great job, but no one from them was saying anything about it. Or maybe, she had done it wrong?
"Chaos, it is not possible," Knox said, but even so, he slightly doubted his own words. "You don't think she can find you because of your scent, right?"
"I found him," Blue interrupted him quickly. "I smelled his scent. Both of you have a scent like coffee," she was annoyed because she needed to say the same thing again.
However, Knox ignored her. "We don't have that kind of thing." He reminded him. 'The thing' that he referred to was; scent. They didn't have a scent.
Chaos was silent for a moment longer, before he stood up and extended his hand toward Blue. "Come with me."
She beamed with happiness when she stretched out her hand and grabbed his, but then her smile disappeared when she remembered something.
"Where are we going? Is it far? The day after tomorrow will be my first day at school." Anne and she had prepared everything for her first day at school.
"We will return before that," Chaos reassured her.
Knox stood up as well, he looked at Chaos, his eyes narrowed. "You will take her with you? That's dumb."
"Let's see if its dumb or not." Chaos raised his head as his eyes met Knox's, then his hand grabbed Blue's tightly.
And in the next second, he disappeared along with the little girl.
"This is insane," Knox hissed angrily. But, he could care less about them. Chaos knew what he was doing and the little girl… Knox had zero affection toward her.
However, the thing that was way more insane than this was about to happen when he received a call from Gael.
"I need your men," Gael said when Knox finally picked his phone up, which was lying on the bedside table. "I just killed someone and need your people to clean that up."
=================
Gael held Lise's body close, she was trembling in his arms, with her face buried against his chest as she curled in his lap, while in front of them were two men, bathed in their own blood. Died.
"See? You see it yourself now, right?" Gael spoke softly into her ear, while caressing her back. His eyes glinted maliciously. He liked what he was seeing at the moment. "That's what happens when someone touches what's mine."
Yet, Lise's sobs grew louder. She tried to stifle her voice, but it was hard to do so when her whole body shuddered at the crazy thing that Gael had done to the two men.
"Now, you understand, right? When I said no one touches you, it means this will be the consequence they would have to face." Gael kept caressing her back. Her hair was smooth while her scent was sweet.
"You… you killed them…" Lise stated the obvious between her sobs. Her body wasn't listening to her. She wanted to run away as far away as she could from this man, but she couldn't find enough strength to do so.
"Yes, baby… they touched you, even after I warned them not to. That's their stupidity." There was no trace of guilt when Gael said those words. "You have not yet eaten anything. Let's eat, shall we?"
Eat…
After he put a few bullets in their head, right before Lise's eyes, forcing her to witness such a gruesome scene, he wanted to take her to eat something?
How could such an idea even cross his mind?
"You must be scared of what they have done to you… I should have made their deaths more painful."
