The little girl struggled to go down from Ethan's arms and was about to go straight towards Kace again with both of her hands held high, and a bright smile on her cherry lips.
"Again! Again! Bree wants to be thrown again!" she moved swiftly right under the eyes of the four people inside the hut.
Hope, and the siblings were too shocked to be able to get her back when she bumped into Kace's legs.
"Up! Up!" Bree squalled.
Before, every ti she wanted to approach Kace, her parents would prevent her to do so.Because they were afraid of him. Different from her parents, Bree had always been curious about the beast since they lived under the sa roof, but the two of them never interacted.
Kace looked down at the little human, who was trying to climb his body. His brows knitted, but he didn't move and just stared at her.
"Co here Bree, let's play with ," Ian hastily rushed forward and picked Bree up from the ground, before the beast changed his mind and did sothing outrageous to endanger the little girl's life.
"No!" Bree pouted and stretched out her arms towards Kace when Ian carried her out of the hut.
They still could hear her protest when Ian took her sowhere, only when Ian persuaded her to pick another bucket of flowers, then the girl stopped complaining and went along with him.
"Where are you going?" Kace asked Hope as he strode across this small room and hugged her tightly. "I miss you."
Hope rolled her eyes dramatically. He just woke up now and said he missed her? "I went to see Lana." There was a scoff from Kace as a reply. "She is sick because she is attached to you. It must be the result of the oath that both of you took."
"She is sick because she is weak, just like my human side," Kace grumbled and released Hope. "I see you got your cloak already," he said it distastefully since he couldn't sll Hope's intoxicating scent, it quite pissed him off.
"Yeah, they found it," Hope mumbled.
Upon seeing the closeness between the couple, Ethan was slightly trapped feeling awkward to stay there, thus he cleared his throat and walked away clumsily while saying; "I will go to see Ian and Bree."
However, Hope chid in. "I will go too, I don't want to be trapped inside this hut again, I need so fresh air!" She followed Ethan.
And of course since Hope was not there, the beast would proceed to go out of the hut too.
With his hand dr.a.p.ed on Hope's slender waist protectively.The two of them and Ethan, who was walking two steps ahead from them, strolled towards the clearing where not many centaurs were there.
From this clearing they could see the village not too far from where they were standing and, the supposed to be the Loris' family house, was in the opposite direction. They could only see a pile of rubble from a distance.
In front of them, Ian and Bree were picking so wild flowers near the trees.Kace could hear what the little girl was rumbling about and how patient Ian was in responding to her every babble.
Hope swatted his hands away from her waist and raised her hands while stretching her tired body. "It feels so good!" Hope squalled as she closed her eyes to feel the chilly night wind swirled her hair and cloak.
Both of them walked slowly as they enjoyed the scenery, despite what had happened, it was a good thing that they could have so peace for themselves, at tis like this.
"So, when will we go?" Kace broke the silence between them as he watched Ethan who joined Ian and Bree to pick up so flowers, not too far from them.
Hope whipped her head, caught off guard by his questions. "I thought you wouldn't like it if we went to find the priestess."
The beast scoffed, "You will not stop until we et the priestess and find Lydia, right?"
Hope grinned. "This is for you too."
"Is there sothing that I can do to change your mind, and carry you out of this place?" Kace raised his brows, provokingly as he already knew what Hope's answer would be.
"No."
"Then, let's et the priestess and find the witch, so we can go out of this damn place as soon as possible," he grumbled, actually he didn't like this plan.
"Good," Hope said cheerfully and hugged him. Finally they were on the sa page. It was very tiring to have to argue with him all the ti.
Right at that ti, Bree screeched and let out a low feeble sound.
"What happened?" Hope mumbled, but Kace had grabbed her hand to approach the little girl and the twins.
Upon closer look, they could see Bree was on the verge of crying.
"What happened?" Kace asked with a frown.
Hearing his gruff voice, Bree put down her hands and ran toward Kace, hugging his legs while her hand pointed at Ian accusingly. "He scared the kitten," Bree snuffled.
Hope squatted down and pulled Bree close to her. Because the little girl didn't get any response from Kace, she let Hope hug her and said the sa thing.
"No!" Ian waved his hands frantically. "I didn't an to scare the kitten, how do I know that she wanted to catch the kitten."
However, Bree was crying again. "Bree was talking to the kitten, but Ian scared her."
"Ian!" Hope hissed.
"Wait!" he held his hand up. "Why do you bla it on ? I am innocent."
They were trying to make Bree to stop crying, even Ian was forced to shift into his beast form by Ethan, yet the beast was not as cute as the kitten, and Bree looked at him sullenly.
They didn't even realize that Kace wasn't there.Only when there was a rustling sound and his voice ca all of a sudden, did they realize that he briefly disappeared and just ca back?
"Here's your kitten, now stop crying." Kace held a yellow little kitten in his hand by its scruff.
