Chapter 62 - ARE THOSE TEARS FOR ME?

Don't forget, between hello and goodbye, there was love, so much love.

-Faraway- 

**************** 

His mind was still wondering over the strange feeling that was not really his to begin with, the feeling that belonged to the original owner of his life.

It felt like past memories that had been buried deeply had resurfaced again, not only the memories, but also the feelings behind them.

It was hard for Knox to explain, when on the other side he knew it didn't belong to him, but the sensation was too strong to say that it was not his.

He looked at Blue's teary eyes in confusion when he heard the sound of gunfire, right almost at the same time he felt something hard hit his head.

It was painful.

The sensation that he didn't feel for so long, since no one was able to really hurt him. He was always on alert and nothing would be able to really harm him.

But this time, he was distracted and a bullet pierced through his head.

One moment he was wondering about the memories and the feelings, while staring at her pair of familiar hazel eyes, but in the next moment, everything went dark. Darker than this dim basement.

Knox watched as horror marred Blue's features. She was shouting something at him, but there was no word that he could hear.

Was she calling his name? He was not sure, because in the next moment, he had disappeared.

"KNOX!" Blue cried when she witnessed Knox's body dissolve into dust and the bullet that hit his head fell to the ground with a loud thud.

What was this? Knox couldn't have died, could he? Blue fell to her knees, she knelt there and picked the bullet from the ground. It was hot, but she couldn't find Knox anywhere, not even his scent. He simply disappeared.

But she didn't have time to contemplate about it, when she heard the roars and growls from the shifters on her left side and the open fire from their opposite direction.

"BLUE! MOVE AWAY FROM THERE!" Anthony shouted at her before he shifted into his beast and dodged the bullet that was aimed at him.

"HE IS THE ALPHA OF THE SILVER RIVER PACK! KILL THEM ALL!" Jasmine bellowed at her men. They came here to kill the creature that had beaten up Sol and held his childhood friend hostage, but of course Jasmine wouldn't miss the opportunity to get rid of the alpha from the silver river pack. That was the biggest pack from the north.

Blue was knocked out of the way by a shifter, as the beast forced her to step back from the battle, since she was in the heart of it.

A bullet wheezed near her ear and Blue crawled to the space behind the shifters. They wanted to take her away, but it was better than being killed by those green people.

The only thing that Blue could do right now was to save herself, she needed to escape this clamor and find a safe place for her to hide.

Though she didn't know where she should go, she could still try to find Anne or Gael. It would be best if she was able to find him, so she could tell him about what had happened to Knox. He must have an answer to that.

Blue dashed into the building again, leaving the fight behind her as she frantically tried to pick Gael's scent in the air, or the woman named Lise, who was his wife now.

Where were they now?

Behind Blue, the shifters and the people from the organization were neck to neck. They attacked with the sole intention of killing, as they didn't show any mercy.

==================   

Sol groaned in pain when he tried to move his body. His chest was in so much pain, as if someone had stabbed him with a dull knife, or maybe that was what happened.

Once his consciousness returned, the silence that engulfed him until now was broken and he could hear the clamoring sounds around him.

The sound of the guns being fired and people roaring in agony around him reminded Sol of what actually was going on.

He grabbed his gun and aimed at the first opponent that he could see, while another gunfire could be heard from far below.

His eyes frantically scanned his surroundings, so he would be able to know their current status.

But, apparently, there was not much that he could discern, since most of the people had died. Their blood stained the floor and he saw the last man of Gael was being shot not too far from him before he could shoot him.

Sol made a quick count and it left him with two men by his side. It was a fierce battle and apparently he missed most of it by being 'dead' after Gael shot him.

Thankfully, his bullet proof suit served him well.

"Sol! Are you all right?!" One of his fellow friends approached him. He took his face mask off once he was sure that the battle was over. "God! I thought you died! I was worried for nothing about how to inform your father."

Sol shook his head. "I am glad I am alive," he said, he looked around him and didn't believe that no bullet hit him while he was playing 'dead'.

"We lost many men," he informed Sol, though he didn't need to, since he could see it by himself.

"Where is she?" The first thing that came to his mind was Lise.

================= 

"You are crying," Gael stated when he raised his hand to touch the tear that just streamed down Lise's cheek. "Are those tears for me?"

Gael took Lise to the other part of the roof of this building to avoid the bullets, but in order to do that, he took three on his back when he tried to protect her. Without his power, he was almost human.
