Chapter 18 Gold

Shai looked at her hand. A gold glow moved through the lines in her skin. It moved down her hand into her wrist.

Shai held on to the chair next to her, helping her up. She used her right hand that has the gold glow, an immense pain shoot through her hand. She hissed, letting go of the chair and falling back on the floor, holding her hand.

"What did he do to me?" Shai mumbled

"I can help you with that,"

Shai lifts her head, finding the other figure in front of her holding out his hand for her to grab, Shai glares at him and says,

"If you're here to do the same, then leave,"

He flinched at the tone of her voice and gave a nervous laugh.

"Look, I'm not here to do what that j..." He stopped

He saw her hand and how bad it was. he walked to he, still holding out his hand to her. Shai looked into its eye.... it had eyes. She watched him stare at her hand, concern written in his eyes. He grimed at this and asked,

"He couldn't have done this,"

Shai scoffed, feeling the sting in her arm. The figuer might have apologized. But this was unreal to her.

"Well, he did,"

Shai took his hand and, with his help, got back on her feet,

"Do you know of this?," Shai said

He looked away from her in deep thought, Shai let go of his hand seeing that even he had a hard time thinking of why the figure would do this, and Shai moved around him, walking to the door only to be stopped by him, holding the hand that hurts.

"What were you thinking about dealing with this?" He asked

Shai watched the gold move down to her elbow. The pain increased, making her groan at him, pulling her hand away from him. He flinched and watched her move away, her back facing him,

"Shai, what happened to you was that your figure ha..." He got cut off

The other figure reached out to her, only to have his hand slapped away, He looked at her in remorse... he had never seen this before. He only heard of it from the higher ups and his colleagues, but with the circumstances staring straight at him. He didn't know what to do...

"Shai,"

Shai seethed in pain, turning to stare at him.

"I need you to try to trust me when I do this," the other figure told her

He walks to her until he stands in front of her,

"Stop and go..." Shai said

The other figure knocked her out, hoping that would help her calm down, and it did. Shai lost her balance and fell onto the floor. The figure stretched out his arms, trying to catch her, and he missed her. causing her to fall on the floor on her back.

"Oww, that is going to bite her in the morning," the other figure muttered

He bent down and picked her up. He huffed, walking to the couch and setting her down.

"You are going to be angry at me later, but I have someone to talk to before then." He says

The other figure turns away from her, and a fog covers him as he disappears.

"This is 914 radio concluding the interview with Max Klaus. What do you think about that interview, John,"

"What can you say? The first person who interviewed him seemed a little volatile, but it was a good interview, to say the least,"

"At least? The other interviewer was more entertaining than the last one. She gave him more fair questions, and more time to deliberate, it was better than the last one,"

Eurus shuts off the radio and turns to his auntie. She looks at him, her eyes laced with frustration. He knew that look of hers. It was of passion. She saw the degradation of society in front of her. Who wouldn't be.

"Eurus, I'm going to leave for a senate meeting at noon," Judy said

Judy stood up and walked to him. She laid a hand on his shoulder,

"I'm going to need some help preparing for it," Judy told him,

Eurus mentally sighed, He loved his auntie, but this cycle of endless schemes is getting on his last nerve. But for his family, he would,

"Claire can't help. She's in no condition to help me prepare," Judy continued

Eurus placed his hand on Judy's hand, moving it off his shoulder,

"Auntie, I will help you any way I can," Eurus said

Judy has a small smile on her face,

"Thank you, Eurus, for helping me when no one was there," Judy thought

"Thank you, I need some research on Max Klaus and his organization," Judy asked

"I will get that done. You need to get ready for it, right?" Eurus asked

Eurus pointed at her, and Judy looked at her clothes, finding oil, dirt, and coffee stains on her. She looked back at him and said,

"That will need to happen,"

"Go do that, I will be here, and I'll watch Claire in case she wakes up," Eurus spoke

Judy pats his back and walks out of the lab, Eurus looks around and sighs, thinking,

"I might as well put some news on,"

Eurus sat in front of the computer, asking,

"Computer put on America news now,"

The computer turns on a light and plays the news for him, Eurus starts to look up the Open for the World Foundation,

Eurus reads through the articles, but one seems to catch his eye more than he thought.

"The new society of greater beings. to make everyday life better for society," Eurus says

He keeps reading the article and saves it to the computer, saying,

"Computer print those articles and written words please,"

The computer responds to him and prints the papers,

"That's where she went,"

Eurus stopped hearing a voice from behind him. A weight on the back of his chair made him turn around, and Herman stood behind him, holding onto his chair. Eurus glared at Herman, Herman looked around him unimpressed,

"You seem to heal fast from our last.... talk," Herman muttered

Eurus scoffed,

"Leave,"

Herman stepped back from him,

"No, I don't think I will," Herman said

Herman walked to Claire and glanced at Eurus, he placing his hand on her head,

"He can't touch her agian!" Eurus thought

Eurus stood up and ran to them. Herman looked at Eurus, his face stone cold, and disappeared.

Eurus stood there in confusion, He looked over at Claire, finding her in the same state. In sleep mode, unmoving, but the fans are on making a low noise.

"What just happened?"
