Chichester Mansion

Avaricious

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!

Eclair's POV

"..."

"You got hurt."

"..."

"Really. Your habit of bad mouthing people will get you in trouble."

"..."
What does he know about me?

"Pal just-"

"Drop me."

He kept driving and didn't listen to what I said.

"I said drop m-"

"No. We will go back to the hotel and you will rest there."

"I don't want to."

The Senator fired the thug a month ago. The man wanted revenge so he and his troops set up bombs in the Senator's mansion which is why they had the engagement ceremony at a garden, far away from there.

When the criminals learned this, they changed the plan and tried to kill the Senator's family closely, in person to be exact.

"I'm going to quit being a part of the team." The car screeched abruptly.

His hand grabbed mine as if telling me that he doesn't accept my decision.

"Don't take that choke seriously that was me worrying about y-"
He was so agitated and restless. Its my first time seeing him this way.

"I...did something unforgivable don't you think? If...I stay, things are going to get worst!" I'll ruin your reputation sooner or later so if you won't push me away, I'll do it instead!

"Do you hate me? Do...you hate being with me?"
I hate quitting! I never quit on anything not on a mission, not on a promise and not on people. But I have to, its the only way to protect them.

"Please Al just drop me here." I know someone would drive me home. He will drive me home.

"Alright." He stopped the car at the side of the road I went out immediately because I couldn't say goodbye but he followed me outside.

"I understand. I'm sorry for making you feel this way." I saw regret flashed in his eyes and I knew I had to say something.

"I won't force you to stay. You're freedom is valuable to me."

I heard a disturbing banging sound from the rhythm of his heart. I don't know how and why I was able to hear that but I knew.

I just knew...

That isn't what he really wants. His back faced me until he drove off before my very eyes.

"You hated that place. I felt it Al. That's why I wanted to know why you had to bring me and what mission you had to accomplish so that I can act to finish it immediately."
So that you won't stay there anymore. So that you won't feel pained and troubled.

"Hmm so you got hurt because of me.." He licked my wound. "What an honorable deed." He gave me a hug for a second before letting go to glare at me.

"You scared the sht out of me." He's rather calm. To be honest I thought he'd react differently. Teleportation makes me feel dizzy even though it was just from a short distance.
