Chapter 16

"Hey"

"Hi.. " His head was hanging low, cheeks flashed red, hands behind his back.

"Look at me. Baby, come on." He placed one finger under his chin to raise his head up a bit, his voice soft.

He still refused to look at him, eyes stuck to the ground.

He sighed and wrapped his arms around him, careful not to break him apart.

ERROT

"What are we doing in the middle of the forest, exactly?"

"Stop being so loud this early in the fucking morning" He said and rubbed at his forehead.

We were currently in a clearing in the woods, leaning against Canton's car, waiting.
For what I have absolutely no clue.

I tried not to think about the fact that the king of Ink Blood can actually drive.

The trees were incredibly high and their green almost resembled the shade of his eyes. It was a bit misty and cloudy, the weather freezing cold as always. There wasn't anybody else here except from us and it's making the forest so silent, I started getting a bit creeped out.

Canton had his arms crossed against his chest and his eyes closed, looking completely unbothered by the fact that we were all alone in a damn forest.

"It's almost noon." I raised an eyebrow at the hangovered king.

"Same thing." He mumbled coldly.

"King Canton"

I jumped at the sudden foreign voice. I looked up only to see an Ink walking towards us.

She was a bit short, her skin complexion brown with a few small white tattoos on her face and fingers.

I couldn't make out the tattoos clearly because they were tiny but I did manage to spot a small crown right under her left eye.

She looked gorgeous. Her dark brown hair were in dreads and she was wearing a black coat above her short -also- black dress. The only accessory she was sporting were her long silver earrings that were shining so bright under the sun. She was glowing.

I blinked at her presence. She gave Canton a small bow the moment she approached us and then glanced at me briefly and monotonously.

"Nerissa." Canton said indifferently. "I'm listening."

Nerissa hesitated for a slight second and looked at me, her gaze threatening.

"He won't talk." Cold.

She sighed and then she was back at staring at the ground, respectfully.

"We couldn't find anything yet again. We thought we were approaching the matter but..."

"But nothing." He said coolly and started rubbing at his forehead once again.

"We are gonna keep looking but I really believe its not worth it anymore. They're gone, Canton."

I blinked, stunned.

Canton?

Is she digging her own grave or what?

I dared to side glance at Canton, mentally preparing myself for the outburst that was about to come.

To my great surprise, Canton looked exactly the same. He was not affected in the slightest bit. In fact, his face was utterly unreadable.
