Chapter 236 The Storm
Eiajr spent that whole day messing with Isiah because he just left those girls when they were clearly into him, Isiah was very pissed because of her persistence.
He needed more than time to be capable of speaking to people again, he was not just going to smile at them as if nothing happened..
He was not blaming anyone, however, he was aware of his low tolerance for people.
Isiah kept walking and each day he was seeing a new place, by the end of the month he was aware of most parts of the city he was in.
" Master, there are a lot of houses, beautifully designed, they are just like castles, however, I don't think that king stays here, I don't see what is similar to a palace like the seventh king's palace in Delwias Island" Eijar said to him when he was returning back to that abandoned house.
" I know what you are trying to say, I suspected that from the beginning, this place is not the main city, I expected that we would be transported to the main city just like in district 1 ,however, I guess it is not the case, this means there are more cities to investigate"
Isiah grew a huge confidence in his judgment too, now that his actions are not limited by his lack of power.
He started to see the manifestation of his own decisions with no other obstacles that may drive him off the main goal like his human emotions or his lack of power.
After he caught all the ropes with his family he was no longer the same person, something in him changed .
" Are you avoiding them , master?" Eijar asked
" What are you talking about?"
" Ciel and Lexie and Heigl, are you avoiding them ?"
Isiah looked at her and then said:" Why do you think that?"
They were heading to that place in the middle of the night, and Eijar replied to him:" Because you are not talking to them, you go back to that place at night, and you barely give them any explanation "
Isiah looked now at the road ahead of him and then said: " He is trying to look for his parents"
" Ciel?" Eijar asked , however she knew that from Lexie a few days ago but she needed a confirmation.
" Yes, he told me last night about that, I told him to forget about the idea, '' Isiah replied to her.
Eijar forced Isiah to look at her and then said:" Are
trying to hide the truth about those drained people in the corridors, or you are scared that he might go to his parents once he finds them, to be honest I thought he is an orphan"
Isiah was pissed because what Eijar said to him was partially true, he didn't want Ciel to go back to his parents who dumped him, and left him alone when he is at the age of five , he lived with a person that he didn't speak about until he met him after the evacuation, he was clearly beaten and Isiah didn't want to give them any second chances.
When Eijar noticed that Isiah went silent she said to him:" You can't stop him if that's what he wants"
" I would never let him fall that fuc***ing trap, he will never give them a second chance, his life was on the line and they didn't care" Isiah shouted .
" But he is just a kid, master, if he wants to do that just let him be, or he is going to hate you eventually "
Eijar tried to warn Isiah of the way to deal with a sensitive kid like Ciel, however, Isiah was so triggered by the idea of letting him meet them after all that they have done .
It was night, the weather was getting colder, the weather here was not like in district 1 on Delwias Island, since they came it was getting colder each day, he didn't know what to expect, however, this weather felt like winter.
He was wearing warm clothes for the past few days when he went to the city, and wore his original clothes when he came back, however today he just felt tired to change anything, even with his magic.
He looked at the windows of those two rooms. There was light in those rooms so he entered for the first time, because he wanted to give them some information and check up on Ciel.
Isiah knocked on the door of the first room he saw, the door opened, and only then he realized that it was not Ciel's room, Lexie appeared there, her short hair was untied, and she was wearing a see-through long dress, he realized at that time that she wear it before sleep.
She looked as if she woke up from sleep, her eyes were sleepy and she kept wiping them with her hand.
He kept his eyes on her eyes as he said very calm:" I thought it is Ciel's and Heigl's room, go back to sleep"
Isiah looked charming and Lexie couldn't remove her eyes from his body, it was the first time for her to see him with those clothes and that captivated her.
It was the first time that Isiah entered that place since they started to live in it, so that made Lexie very surprised, so she said:" Did something happen?"
Isiah turned around and looked at the other door leaving her question hanging.
He knocked on the other door so Heigl opened it for him, he entered and then closed the door behind him while Lexie stayed there waiting for something to happen for a while.
Ciel was asleep, Isiah sat on the ground and leaned towards the wall, Heigl sat in front of him and then said:" This place, is not good for him to stay in it, it is very cold out there, it is snowing and I want him to be in a good condition"
Isiah looked at Ciel for a while before he heard Heigl say:" I am doing my best, the kid is important to all of us, we will never hurt him"
" Is he still persistent about meeting his parents?" Isiah asked Heigl
"Yes, he keeps telling me that he has a whole family here "
" They might be dead, until than , don't support him in doing anything, and don't go to that place, everyone is dead there, drained and thrown in dark corridors"
Isiah didn't want to tell him that, however, in that group there was only him who could help him in the full sense of the word.
" So my father was telling the truth?" Heigl shouted .
" Yes, Dakkar Lumas was telling the truth, " Isiah replied.
At that moment, Heigl put his palms in front of his face and started to cry, he was having a huge breakdown and therefore Isiah just stayed there and listened to him without saying any other word.
Eijar crawled away from the room and headed towards Lexie's room, she entered the room from under the door and headed to her bed.
Lexie was still awake, she couldn't sleep now that she saw Isiah again, she saw Eijar as she was crawling into her bed .
"What are you doing here?" Lexie said to her very upset .
"He is crazy, even in this cold weather he still sleeps outside, well, I ' d love to sleep in a warm bed for one night " Eijar replied to her with a sleepy voice.
"Aren't you afraid that he might leave you ?" Lexie asked because she was curious.
" No, me and him are practically the same person ,we are connected , I could find him easily ".
Eijar said those few words and rested her head on the bed without notice .
Lexie covered her body and then said:" She must be very tired "
Lexie stood on her feet and headed towards the window, an hour later she heard the door open and close, and she realized that Isiah left the room.
She saw him as he walked inside the forest and then disappeared.
The weather was so cold, it was colder than before, and the snow kept falling for hours after that, she couldn't sleep now that she knew that he was out there alone in this bad weather.
Lexie wore her clothes, a dark tunic with black pants and her boots and she went outside.
She wasn't wearing what might keep her warm however, all she kept thinking about was his state in the middle of this storm.
It was the first time she saw snow, there was no snow in district one, people called it white ash after what happened to district 3 .
That is why she was driven by an urge to save him.
" Isiah…Isiah….Isiah where are you, please answer me " She kept calling for his name but the storm was strong to the point where she was not capable of seeing or hearing a thing.
She walked until she reached the forest but all she was seeing was white and nothing more.
She felt terribly cold but she had to find him, his life mattered to her and therefore she forced herself into that.
" Isiah…please" She whispered.
