Chapter 143
Lucky 143
A voice whispered.
[Wake up…]
[Calix Romoel…]
It was hoarse, trying not to cry.
[I love you…]
...…
...
…
Calix, remember, dying is gay.
...…
...
…
"Calix!!!"
Calix gasped as he opened his eyes, he was coughing water out of his system. Tears rolled down as he sat up. He didn't know why but he felt so sad, he felt like dying was the best option.
"Gah!!"
"Calix! Thank God you're alive!!"
Yuna hugged him tightly, her voice was raspy. She was crying too. Her clothes were dirty and she had cuts around her body. As if she fought dozens of people.
"Yuna?"
Calix was confused. His head was kind of fuzzy. His world was revolving, he felt that he experienced the shittiest of all.
"What happened?"
His face was pale, his eyes were unfocused. He was trying to understand the situation.
"It's fine, you don't have to think anymore. We can leave this place, let's go."
She tried to help him stand but Calix was not moving. He was just sitting up, trying to recall what happened.
'I remembered that I met Marianne Francine in the cage and I had sex with her… Then after that, I tried to fight Leon but I failed and fall asleep.'
That was the last thing he remembered. He checked his body and found that his clothes were wet, he almost thought that he was drowned… Or was he?
"Yuna, I'm sorry if I worried you."
Calix stared at her. It pained him to see Yuna like this, the woman was holding her tears. She had wounds and Calix could guess what happened to her. She fought the terrorists just to find him. Calix's chest was getting squeezed in the most awful way. One of his women was hurt and Calix could never forgive them. He decided to kill them.
He stood up, he was quite surprised that his body felt light. As if the suffering he experienced suddenly disappeared. He felt refreshed and he believed that he could run 3 kilometers straight without getting tired. He didn't know why and it didn't matter.
First, he had to study the situation by consoling Yuna's anxious heart.
He kissed Yuna's lips. Her haggard expression lightened up and she kissed him back. Kissing him recharged her heart.
To be honest, Yuna almost had a heart attack when he found Calix. Calix was in a transparent tank filled with water and it seemed like he was not breathing. Yuna's face lost its color. Yuna immediately got him out of the tank and started giving him CPR.
She was crying because she couldn't feel his pulse. His heart was not beating and he looked so pale, based on his complexion, Calix died two days ago. But Yun didn't stop. She believed that Calix won't die. As her tears started blurring her vision, she continued giving him air and pumping his chest. She didn't stop administering him CPR until her hands hurt.
She was calling him.
"Calix… Calix… Calix!!!"
Gasp!!
At last, Calix woke up and his complexion returned to normal. Yuna wanted to bawl so loud but the terrorists were waiting outside. They were in a private lounge in the Flying Ship where swimming pools and aquatic animals were around.
"Calix, we have to leave."
She pulled him up, she had to take him out of this place. Because the Flying Ship may explode at any moment. She wiped her tears and regained her calmness. It would be bad if she lost her focus on this moment. She swallowed her remaining feelings. She felt so thankful that Calix was alive. Or else she might kill herself next to him.
Yuna's life is nothing if Calix is not around. After all, Calix is her everything.
That's why she helped him stand to leave this place. Calix regained his balance and looked around. All he could see was the aquarium and some large tanks… Some of them had people inside and they were all dead.
Calix realized what happened. His pupils trembled.
"Yuna, did I die?"
He gulped, staring hard at her. Yuna didn't know what to say. Perhaps she was still affected. She bit her lip and shook her head.
"I don't know."
To be honest, she really didn't know. She felt like it was more a hibernation than dying. As if Calix was just sleeping.
"Calix we have to leave."
She said and took his hand. This Flying Ship was in danger. The terrorists didn't have any intention of negotiating with the government. They were fully decided to destroy this ship once it reached the Capitolium. And right now, the Flying Ship was close to Capitolium.
Nonetheless, Calix remained standing and looking at the dead bodies. They were put in the tanks till they drown and die. He swallowed greedily and looked at Yuna.
"Calix… Please, we have to leave. Please don't do this to me… Don't fight them."
She was tearing up. She didn't want to see him hurt. She would rather die than let Calix hurt again. She almost killed herself when she found him in the transparent water tank. Her voice cracked and her vision got blurry.
"… I'm sorry, Yuna."
However, Calix grimly smiled and shook his head. Yuna closed her eyes and tears drifted down. She nodded and steeled her heart. It seemed like his decision was already firm.
Calix would confront the terrorists. It was obvious based on the seething rage in his eyes.
"I love you…"
She said, having her chest constricted.
"I love so much."
"I love you too."
Calix came closer and kissed her softly. He was gentle and Yuna shuddered in satisfaction and greed. She coiled her arm around his neck and felt his heat. She was so happy to Calix was alive, but she was sad at his decision.
"Yuna… Tell me what happened."
"Un."
Yuna nodded and started speaking. She didn't hide anything. She honestly said what she experienced because she loves him so much.
"I see…two days, huh."
It seemed like two days passed. Or perhaps much longer than that, Yuna was not sure because she remained in the hostages' room longer than eight hours.
"Yuna, I have a request."
He stared at her seriously, lovingly, and Yuna couldn't say no. She chuckled as she wiped her tears.
"Un, I know that I can't deny you. I love you."
"I love you too."
He cleaned her face. It was making him mad to see that Yuna was wounded like this. He swore that he would kill all of the terrorists.
"I want you to take the hostages out of this Flying Ship." He chuckled, trying to ease the situation. "I guess it's Lucky that you gained a practical Term Attribute at this moment."
He gently tapped her head, but his hand was trembling.
"I will, but what about you?"
"Don't worry, I can protect myself."
Instead of protecting, Calix wanted to kill.
When he found the dead bodies in the tank, something triggered in his heart.
It was a horrible way of death and he was mad that he was put in that same predicament.
He wanted to stop their plan.
Since Yuna gained another Term Attribute to help the passengers escape, Calix begged her to help them.
He knew that what he was asking was hard, especially now when Yuna was injured. He understood that he was being a hypocrite. He wanted to save the passengers yet he couldn't protect Yuna.
'Leon, let's see your reaction once you know that your plan failed.'
Calix didn't want to be a hero. He only understood that he could prevent Leon's plan if the passengers safely escaped this place. Yup, it was not being righteous, but more of infuriating Leon.
'For all the years that I suffered. I never win against him, but I'll balance it with his life at stake'
He grinned ferociously.
