Devil Is Sick

"I would have sliced him to peices and taken you as mine," Zhong said with a very serious look.

"WHAT!!!" Ambai shouted. 'what...is this guy serious? my god, I could even feel killing intent gushing out of him. so scary ah,'

With an awkward smile she patted his clenched fists. "my my, everything is okay now. no need to go on a killing spree," she whispered. But the devil was still glaring at her.

In order to change the subject she whispered, "and by the way, who is Nyx? I've heard this name before?"

Zhing gazed up at her and chuckled, "Its you,"

"eh? what? come again," Ambai patted his round head.

"its you....you are Nyx," He said with a small smirk.

Ambai pushed him away and shook her head. "what do you mean? I'm Erudite, not Nyx," she whispered with her eyes narrowed. 'what is this guy yapping about now? I'm obviously Erudite to them and to myself I'm Ambai. there is no one named Nyx here,'

"No its you," he firmly said with an unknown look in his eyes. he went to hug her again but Ambai pushed him away.

"Zhong I'll make it clear once, I am not Nyx. my name is Erudite," Ambai said with her eyes wide open. 'is this guy still thinking about his lover or has he gone crazy to assume I'm Nyx,' she thought as her body cooled down a little at this thought.

Zhing firmly shook his head and hugged her close. "No! you are my Nyx, my Nyx...." he shouted.

"No I'm not Zhong. I'm not Nyx," Ambai said.

Listening to her, he got a fanatic look in his eyes. he gripped her shoulders tightly. it was almost too painfully for her.

"Nyx, why are you lying? I know its you and I know you're in there somewhere. Is it because I was not able to protect you? Im sorry.....I swear I'm powerful now. I have killed most of those heaven's officials who hurt you. So please....please dont torture me like this anymore. come back to me," he said with a blank look.

'Nyx...he thinks I'm Nyx,' Ambai thought as he heart cooled down.

This brought Ambai back to reality. Zhong kissing her and him reciprocating his feelings for her were all like a dream come true but.... dreams are nothing but dreams, not reality. it was her mistake for expecting too much from him.

She stood still letting him hug her till his hearts content. 'Zhong... this is the last time I will be close to you like this. so I will be a little selfish,' she caressed his silky smooth hair.

just a single drop of tears rolled down her cheeks to her mouth. she silently licked it away, leaving no trace of her sorrow.

"Let go, you're squeezing me," She whispered with a fake smile.

Zhong let go and gazed at her. "Nyx, it's you right?"

"Yes.....it's me," Ambai said with a sad smile.

Imposter Zhong cheerfully hugged her.

A white lie. that's what it was.

Lying so that his feelings would not be hurt.

Observering his wavering emotions She knew that Zhong needed psychological treatments. 'it will be the last time we meet anyway. I dont want to see him sad,' she thought as tears filled her eyes.

She hugged him back and gripped onto his shirt. 'Stupid devil, goodbye. I hope I never see you again,' she cried mentally. but externally she was too tired to spill her unshed tears for this doomed relationship.

"Eru....." someone uttered softly.

her father was standing in the corner with a worried look on his face.

Ambai pushed the devil away and rushed to him.

"Is everything okay son?" he softly caressed her ruffled up curls.

"Hmm I'm okay,"

she did not say anything more in fear that her tears would spill out. "Let's talk dad," she whispered and walked away.

Her father followed her after throwing a glare at Zhong. even if his son said that he was okay he could obviously see his tear filled eyes.

Rukle rushed after his son to his study. Eru was sitting on the couch with his hands on his face.

Without a word he rushed over and hugged him. his son softly leaned over. 'he is trembling,' he thought as be felt his son's shoulders.

"Dad.... I think something is wrong with Zhong,"

Rukle hugged his son tighter. 'of course something is wrong with that guy. otherwise why would he reject his son. che maybe is houdk banish him somewhere far,' he thought.

"daddy... he is really sick. he is thinking I'm someone else. do we have any healers who deal with psychological treatments? maybe that would help,"
