443: THIRTEEN YEARS OLD (7)

THIRTEEN YEARS OLD (7)

Alyssa whipped her head around to face Aidan and frowned. "I don't know if your eyes are golden." Yet, she shrugged that fact off. "Whatever, let's find Sebastian."2

Alyssa tugged her hand away from Hope, but she didn't want to release her and this really pissed her off. "Hope, I don't know what is wrong with you! If you don't want to go, I will go alone!" Alyssa snapped at her. 

A smile pulled on the corner of Aidan's lips. "Yes, Hope. Why don't you leave her alone, so that we can talk?" His voice was slightly hoarse and deep, but Alyssa didn't notice that. 

She tugged her hand hard from Hope and immediately dashed away from her and Aidan while shouting over her shoulder. "I will find Sebastian and Rena, just stay with Aidan!" Her voice sounded upset, but it was laced with concern too. 

"Hello, dear." Aidan spoke with a throaty voice. 

Hope's expression turned hard as she glanced over Aidan's shoulder to find a way to escape from this predicament. She didn't know what happened to Aidan or maybe he was possessed by something, but she was glad that he left Alyssa alone. 

"I don't know you." If Hope was afraid, she didn't show it on her face. "What do you want from me?" 

As she talked, Hope crept her back along the wall very naturally, slowly trying to shift their position, but she didn't immediately ran away, knowing whatever possessed Aidan would tackle her to the ground in a blink of an eye.

She needed more time to think about it.

"What a cliché question…" Aidan sneered, he licked his lips as his golden eyes shone even brighter. "I have been looking for you since you are a baby." 

Hope frowned. Since she was a baby? What did that mean? That was why Serefina and Kace were very adamant on not letting her out of their sight? Because there was a creepy creature that was looking for her? Why didn't they tell her?

It would be easier for Hope if those three people could just tell her everything. They didn't need to hide it since Hope could understand their reasons now. 

Hope was upset, but she was still aware there was danger in the form of a human in front of her. 

"Well, now you found me." Hope walked back in the direction where Alyssa had disappeared earlier. However, she still had to consider her choices, because this creature seemed to not take interest in her friend.

Wouldn't that endanger them if Hope ran toward them? For now, Hope was sure that this creature only wanted her. 

"Did you kill those two girls?" Hope tried to buy as much time as she could. 

Unexpectedly, Aidan chuckled upon hearing Hope's question. "Oh, I liked every second of it. I like their souls." He tilted his head and flashed Hope a harmless smile. "But I like yours better."

Gluttony remembered the first time she laid her eyes on her and took in her intoxicating scent as if inviting her to consume her whole. 

Yet, Kace and the witch were in the way and they had been keeping the girl hidden all this time. Not only that, even when Gluttony managed to find her a few years ago, she couldn't come closer because of the protection that Serefina had placed on her.

The necklace.

That thing prevented her from going near this delicious source of smell. 

However, tonight, without the protection of Serefina and the lycan around, she was free to do anything to her, especially after she destroyed that necklace. Hope's last protection. 

Five years ago, Gluttony also came across a little girl, who had this same intoxicating scent. Afterward she sent two people to go to the girl's house, unfortunately those two stupid creatures failed and the little girl was gone. 

That left Gluttony frustrated, because either that little girl or this girl in front of her, they were both had that inviting scent that she couldn't resist. 

Gluttony liked young souls better. 

"Come to me and no one would get hurt." Aidan extended his arms, trying to close the gap between them, but Hope took another step to avoid him. 

"Why should I listen to you?" Hope's black eyes shone fiercely under the moonlight that streamed down from the big window behind her. She looked very beautiful.

…and delicious in Gluttony's eyes.

"You killed two girls." Hope glanced at the other side of the corridor, where there was a door that would lead to the side yard. 

Hope and Alyssa accidentally opened that door when they were looking for the main door earlier. 

"They were nothing." Aidan crossed his arms, his golden eyes traced along Hope's line of sight and found the same door. He chuckled. "Don't waste your time on thinking of a way to escape this situation." Then his chuckle turned even creepier. "You will not stand a chance."

Hope straightened her back when the door was just right beside her. She glanced at it briefly. "So, why don't you tell me, why you were looking for me then?" 

"I don't know." Aidan shrugged his shoulders and crossed his arms. "You smell good I guess."

Despite her fear, she felt disgusted, though Aidan was being possessed by something now, but to actually hear something like this out loud from his lips, still didn't make it any less disgusting and Hope didn't like it in the slightest.

It sounded super perverted. 

"You kept asking me questions." Aidan walked over toward Hope, but this time the girl didn't move, she stood her ground with sharp eyes. "It is my turn to ask you."

Hope raised her eyebrows, "Well, I guess you are too kind, asking your prey in their last breath?"

Aidan chuckled. "You are special dear. I think I should enjoy this moment, feel your fear in the air and how you are trying hard to conceal how scared you are now."

Hope gritted her teeth and glanced at the door again. "Well, if you want to ask me, just do it." She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly as she felt a vibration in her pocket, someone was calling her now.

Who is it? Kace?
