"what was his answer?" Her voice was still cold but she looked exhausted.
She knew her time was limited.
She lay on Nathan shoulder who flinched, " a coward prince" she commented at his rigidness. " Ralax their is no way I'm eating you."
Nathan was really anxious. This type of Chloe is really dangerous.
He has a vague if last life memories of everything. Many people would think they died but infact they didn't.
What they did was to burn their bodies after they had already transferred their souls in the soul strings which are the blue strings.
The strings allowed them to stay with her up to her last breadth.
The strings would automatically attach itself on her wrist, but by the time they did attach themselves onto her right wrist there was already six more blue strings.
Chloe of that time Seema to have lost a will to live. She would sometimes be conscious of her sorrounding but most of the time she looked like a walking dead.
With the death of the queen and the king with their loyal subjects, the world became unstable.
Alot of deaths were heard and the balance that usually was got lost.
The ending of their last life, was not Ava living happily ever after but Chloe burning not just burning she exploded everything in the world before burning them into ashes.
He was pretty sure that even Ava herself has no recollection of how she died or if she ever did.
Chloe's powers can be controlled to erase completely or kill and resurrect at the same time giving them a second chance in life.
The actions of rebirth or cycle is always controlled by Chloe herself.
She had tried to control every ending of hers to no avail that is why she always start afresh.
She lived like that for more than ten years alone.
She would always kill anything that gains life after she was tired she shredded herself.
At the time of her death, half if her powers protected their souls in the strings, maybe that is the reason some of them gained memories earlier in this lifetime.
Nathan looked at the tired woman whose head was resting on his left shoulder before raising his hand to brush the hair that was on her face.
He fears her but that doesn't stop his love for her.
When he looks at her, his eyes are filled with love. It was his childhood dream that made him do the impossible.
He had a dream where he saw the future. In the future, he was married to a woman and was blessed with three children.
That woman respected him and treated him like a king, even though he was not her only mer husband.
He became obsessed with the dream woman and after he found out she was real he moved to the real her.
Humans are creatures that don't get enough of what they get they would want more.
His obsession turned to love and love developed into something more dangerous. That was for him to be hers completely.
To become her husband.
He got fifteen years.
Fifteen years of plotting.
Fifteen years of obsession.
Fifteen years of the same dream.
He altered his face to look like the prime minister's illegitimate mer son. He started talking and walking like Nathan and then he became Nathan.
In fact the one whom the illegitimate child was supposed to marry was Ava but Nathan had to change the decree.
In his dream, he new one of the prime minister's son will marry his dream woman, but he wasn't sure on whom.
"Is your obsession that deep?" Chloe's cold voice was heard. She felt his stare making her uncomfortable.
"I wish your obsession could be that deep for a lifetime." Chloe continued before falling asleep.
"Is she asleep?" Dylan asked Nathan curiously.
"She is, she is tired though." Nathan replied while looking at Chloe.
" What would be the cause of awakening her?" Nathan looked at Lenox, the only person whose mind is used properly.
Lenox shrugged clicking his tongue with annoyance. "Call that Larry out, as much as we try to avoid the answer, all of us knows that, he knows our wife better."
"Come out." Alex called coldly. He was still mad at everything.
"Bothersome." Larry's voice was heard, it was too cold to be human, like a machine.
It rasped like a cello.
He appeared sitting midair his closed eyes opened. They were blue with snow irises. His face was fair with pink lips.
"Can't tolerate it?" Larry asked, he sounded like a person learning to read or someone tired of even talking a word.
"What is the cause?" Alex snapped.
"Emotional distress fish head, something simple five heads can't figure it out." Larry replied, he looked disdainfully at them.
Dylan chuckled darkly. "Don't try me Larry, you think am that stupid? Emotions? So far you are the only one who had been talking with her."
Larry clicked his tongue in annoyance. " She was stressed, I don't know with what, maybe lack of money or something else cause to me, wife is always stressed.The second thing is the past."
"Talk cleanly and clearly. Some of us hate thinking." Alex tried to tone down his temper but Larry really made him mad.
"The blue strings." Larry didn't want to reply but looking at Alex's angry expression, he relented.
" Whose blue strings are they?" Alex persisted.
"You are asking me whom should I ask? That is a question the silent Cassen should answer. What I know is that one of the blue strings is mine.I was not the first one but the sixth one to attach myself on her wrist." Lenox snapped, his words now clear.
"The sixth one, when?" Lenox asked. His eyes were strained on Larry. They were shining. He likes sparkle things and Larry's Iris are to his liking.
Larry sent him a deathly glare, he closed his eyes like someone who is desperate to forget something painful and with one final sentence he vanished. "None of your business."
The mers looked at each other before they looked at Cassen.
Since they started discussing blue strings, he had been silent.
They saw him looking thoughtfully at Chloe's right wrist before looking outside the window.
His expression was chaotic. There was pain, hatred, anger and distress.
They all remained silent, they new better on not provoking him for all of his switches were on if pressed off they burn darkly.
"We are home." Dylan exhaled a relief.
The remaining thirty minutes journey felt like eternity. The one who always talk was no more while others feared talking in fear of provoking Cassen.
"Wife, we are home." Nathan nudged her slightly.
Chloe stirred before groggily opening her eyes.
She looked at the building ahead with a five minute walk and she gave up.
"Lenox am tired." She purred.
He looked at her strangely, "I can't carry you, give it up."
She looked at the others and they all shook their heads, disappointedly, she called Larry.
"Do me the favor." She told him.
[What would I get?] He answered mechanically.
She raised an eyebrow before replying in her cold voice. "Put it on my tab."
Larry was the only one with teleportation superpower and his tails were more than nine.
Larry materialized while wrapping his hand on Chloe's waist before teleporting.
