185 AFTER THE FLAMES

Eros felt blood trickling down from his head when Josh struck him with an empty beer bottle, as he roared at him angrily.

“WHO TOLD YOU TO BRING HER TO THE HOSPITAL!” He flipped when he found out that Eros took Emily to the hospital, moreover because he asked their neighbor to help him. “WHO TOLD YOU TO GO TO A STRANGER?!”

“If I don’t do it, Emily will die.” Eros tried to defend himself, but that was his first mistake, because Josh wouldn’t listen to any excuse. If he wanted to punch you or get angry at you, the best chance that you had was to keep your mouth shut and say nothing.

One more punch to his stomach, followed by a harsh kick. Eros’ small body flew across the room and collided against the cabinet.

“HOW DARE YOU TO TALK BACK?!”

Eros watched how Biel stood in her place, watching everything unfold without doing anything, though she could do something or ask for help, but she didn’t. She let Josh vent out his anger on the eight year old boy.

Meanwhile, in the distance, he could hear Emily cry silently. He could see the little girl hugging her Mr. Bear, peeking through the slightly opened door.

Eros had told her to not come out regardless of whatever had happened and thankfully, she listened to him. She wouldn’t be able to help even if she came.

“YOU. ARE. A BURDEN!”

.....

Josh kicked Eros with every word he said. He didn’t even stop to catch a breath when he did that. Didn’t even hold back when the boy had curled into a fetal position, covering his face with both his hands. His body was in pain. He thought, even his healing ability wouldn’t be able to make him get better any time soon.

But then, he felt something else, he felt that burning sensation that made the other pains dull in comparison.

At first, he felt it on the tip of his fingers, but then the feeling spread through his body and settled in his chest. It was almost like he was being roasted alive.

Eros didn’t even whimper when Josh punched and kicked him, but this burning sensation made him roar in pain.

He thrashed and turned on the floor, causing Josh to stop his abuse and watch him in confusion.

“What the hell is happening with this kid?” Josh mumbled to himself, as he stared at him in bewilderment, while Biel still didn’t do anything. She just watched everything, but did nothing.

Eros closed his eyes, as he felt his beast being aggravated from something that he didn’t know. He couldn’t help it. The beast prowled at the edge of his head and was forced to resurface.

Yet, he couldn’t do that, it was impossible for him to shift in front of them.

They would know that he was a shifter and they would call the authorities to catch him. He didn’t want to return to that facility.

However, the force was too strong and he couldn’t fight it any longer...

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

There were a lot of things that happened to Nikolai and his sister, Vanesha, in the past eight years and now they were living by themselves in a small apartment, since their province had been ruined after the fight between The Hounds and the vampires.

Many people died that night, including their father, but Nikolai didn’t feel sorry for that. The only thing that he regretted was he couldn’t give his sister a better place to stay, as they were stuck in the orphanage and became what they called as puny children.

No one would adopt Nikolai since he was too old for adoption, but when he came of age, he filed the case for his own sister’s adoption and here they were.

“Let’s eat,” Nikolai told his sister, who was working on her homework. While carrying two bowls of their dinner, he walked over to the girl, who lifted her head and smiled at him.

But when Nikolai was about to walk toward her, his steps faltered and he felt something unusual.

“Nikolai! What happened?!” Vanesha looked at her brother with horror in her eyes. She approached Nikolai, who had fallen to the ground, groaning in pain, as his body thrashed and twitched.

Their dinner was scattered on the floor now and it dirtied Nikolai’s shirt, hair and body as well, when he rolled on the floor.

Nikolai felt like his whole body was on fire, as if he was being burned alive.

Pain was an understatement, it was agony, it was hell that he was feeling right now. The burning sensation had blinded him and caused him to roar aggravatedly, scaring Vanesha.

What happened to him? Why was he feeling like this?

However, it was not only him, there were around dozens, or hundreds of people and non- human beings that felt the same sensations like he did right now.

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

Zuri was sitting in the same position, witnessing the flames burn down all the facilities around the lake.

She was stunned, her body had not yet stopped trembling, as fear gripped her heart so tightly.

Right in front of her, Zuri watched Chaos, standing so tall, towering above her. His beautiful blue eyes were now turned black, as black as charcoal, but they were empty. He didn’t seem like he saw her.

It was only her voice that made Chaos turn his head toward her and stand there silently for god knows how long.

They stayed in the same positions until the flames died down and everything around them had reduced to ashes.

Only then did Chaos bend his knees in front of Zuri, but still, she couldn’t see her reflection in his eyes. His eyes were not focused and the only explanation to that strange gaze was...

It was impossible... Zuri didn’t want to believe that.

Therefore, she raised her hand in front of his face, while he stared at the wrong place. Her hand was shaking, as tears fell down her cheeks.
