Salvior

chapter 30

We are a week and a half after Elliott's arrival in Hunderban. We have been spending almost all the day time together, talking, playing around and having a good moment to ourselves with Kaitlyn always tagging along to our pleasure.

Elliott is still scared out of his mind of Klaus and freezes whenever they are in direct or indirect contact with each other. I don't know how I should handle both of them; where on one side Elliott is scared of Klaus and on the other side there is Klaus enjoying the fright he gives to Elliott everytime they are in a room.

Elliott was very surprised when I told him Kaitlyn was Klaus' and I daughter. He almost had a heart attack to that, thinking that I gave birth without him knowing and also said Kaitlyn took her hair colour after Klaus' eye colour ( red ) but I told him that we adopted her and she was a witch.

Kaitlyn surely knows how to attract attention to herself so she did her magic and Elliott fell for her charm- I mean, who wouldn't? She's such an adorable baby.

On the other hand there is Klaus who I came to notice, was and still is jealous of my alone time with Elliott and keeps trying to crash our together time but who am I to blame him? He just wants to make sure that I still need him even though Elliott is here or so I concluded.

But with every positive thing that has been going on, there have been negatives too. Like, Klaus has been talking non stop of a certain barrier which I've come to realise is the barrier around the entire city of Hunderban. Which I never knew about.

He has been saying that he thinks it's weakening and I don't know what that means. He sent his men there twice in the last few days and even went there himself to evaluate the situation but came back and didn't tell me anything consistent.

I've been trying to be contented by what he gave me as information, like it's nothing big for me to worry about but I can't help getting worried and above everything, I have this little thing in me that says it's more than what he wants me to know. So I tried to pry and I still am but he's not budging.

I sigh, sitting down on the couch in the sitting room where Kaitlyn and Elliott are. He looks up from Kaitlyn to me.

" Tired." He asks turning back his gaze to Kaitlyn.

" I wish." I groan. Kaitlyn jumps out of Elliott's arms to reach me, giving me the fright of my life as I thought she would fall. Elliott catches her and hands her to me.

" Don't scare me like that again, dear." I hug her and sigh.

" Then what's up?"

" Klaus." Elliott slightly tenses but relaxes soon enough.

" You mean sir Salvior." He says back.

" Well I'm not going to call the love of my life, sir Salvior. That's stupid." I say matter of factly.

" What did he do?" He asks ignoring my previous sentence.

" Nothing."

" Nothing?" Elliott narrows his eyes at me.

" Yes nothing and that's the problem. I know he's hiding something from me and when I ask he says 'nothing' how am I to react to that? What if it could possibly put our family in danger or not just our family, all the people in this castle. There are kids here, there's you and what if it's not just about us but the entire city." I huff as I feel anger building in me and something else trying to crawl out of some part of me which feel strange by the way but I ignore it.

" Maybe you should just be patient and wait for him to tell you himself. Get into his shoes for once." He says after a while.

" His shoes?" I ask not catching what he's getting at.
