107 The Abandoned One : Part 0

The roots that were holding Axel slowly retreated back, dropping the dead boy's body to the ground. The cracks on his skin were too fragile; he looked like a broken porcelain toy that was thrown away.

Kiaran stood there with no tears in his eyes. He just stood and faced Axel's dead body.

He did not even care about the fight that was happening between Adreanna, Cain, and the two blindfolded men. He just stood there.

The glass slowly opened as the roots disappeared, showing Axel's dead body right in front of him. Kiaran felt his feet moving on themselves, taking a slow step toward the boy's body.

His bloody gloved hand brushed the hair from Axel's face, and he watched the face of the boy with empty eyes. Kiaran tried to smile again for Axel. There was something in his throat, locking all his breaths away.

"I'm sorry."

That was the word that he should've said earlier. Ah, Axel could not hear him anymore, could he?
