CHAPTER 294: You Are Pure

He looked away and finally understood why the two of them reacted in such a way.

If that person were to see this, all those unpleasant memories would come resurfacing.

No wonder Stormie was uncharacteristically agitated in speaking with Nixon.

Because the child in that memory was none other than Nixon himself.

The kidnapping case where he lost his memory but he developed the fear for women.

Being touched in such a way continuously for a week.

As a child, that is too much.

That's right, Nixon was kidnapped and raped when he was a child but no one knows who it was that kidnapped him.

Only that it was Saphira and Stormie who was able to find him but the culprit was able to leave in time when they came in.

They did see her body but they were unable to see her face or remember her voice.

For children seeing such things was still traumatic enough.

No matter what search, with Nixon not remembering anything, the case became a cold one.

Yet who would have thought that it was actually the closest person to them.

The kind sister, Flora.

And her face looks so sinister and perverted right now.

Doing such things to a child with the thought of making him her groom in the future.

Such acts, Nixon wouldn't be able to handle it if he were to see it again now.

The fear of back then will never disappear causing him his phobia in the present.

Hunter finally looked for Saphira who was sitting down doing her best to devour the darkness while battling with the scene right in front of her.

As she was close to losing her consciousness, she felt someone hugging her from behind.

"I'm here. We'll get through this together."

Her breathing stabilized a bit.

"If he sees this," she started.

"I know, I know, it is better for this to be kept hidden until the end," Hunter replied.

He was only looking at Saphira, he had no intention of watching it but he could still hear.

The moans and screams mingling together.

Just how traumatic for a child.

Without seeing anything and only feeling those perverted hands and body.

Flora's plan was simple, making Nixon only remember her touch, only reacting to her touch.

Once he grows older and needing the time to have an offspring, she will be the best choice, for his body will only react to her and no one else.

And in order for him not to hate her and only think that she was special, she covered his eyes.

She didn't allow him to identify her.

This act is almost the same as hypnotizing him.

But before it was completed, Stormie and Saphira finally found him.

Everything was thanks to Stormie, who used her wind splendidly to look for Nixon's scent.

A scent she was very much acquainted with.

In the past, being together always, the scents she could find the easiest was the scent of the seven of them.

Together with it was of Samuel, whom she was infatuated with.

If she and Saphira were to think back now, the reason it took her a week to track his scent was entirely because the place he was held captive was surrounded with flowers.

And among everyone, the one who uses this ability the most was Flora.

It could create a barrier that would hide everything behind it, including the life force of a person. But it could also interfere with scents.

At the age of seven, the mythological beasts were still asleep.

They always wakes up when the host reached the age of eight, and when they do the hosts power would also increase.

That is why when they turned eight, they were brought to that island for training. Of course, because it was new power, they made the mythological beasts to once again sleep.

Why everything turned out the way they did.

All of these things, happening because of the people close to them.

Because of the trust they gave, only to find out that they were betrayed and played with all along.

Flora's case was not different at all.

It took a while before Saphira was finally able to devour it.

Just in time for the wind dome to collapse, since Stormie was already her limit when those memories returned to her.

The trauma both she and Saphira stomped down in hopes of helping Nixon recover, returned just like that.

"Stormie," Nixon called out with worry.

Stormie grabbed on to his shirt, "No matter what you are pure."

This grabbing went past his sense of touch, he didn't even realize that he was not rejecting it at all.

His worry overcame the psychological trauma that he had.

With those words she collapsed leaving Nixon confused with her words.

But he has no time for such, her well being is his current priority.

He carried her, at the same time, Hunter did for Saphira.

Nixon carrying Stormie was a shock to the rest if not for the confusion that they are feeling.

Because no matter how close they were, there will always be a thin layer of water surrounding his skin whenever he gets close to the three of them.

But at this moment, he was carrying Stormie without any evidence of resistance.

Both he and Hunter rushed the two ladies back in the city center, they had no time to look for a better inn. They can only rush to the closest inn from where they were.

Good thing there was one at the edge of the city and it was empty as of this moment due to the fact that darkness was just around the corner that tourists barely comes here.

After settling them on a room, Nixon checked their conditions.

Lily came out to say that the psychological impact was just too great for the two of them to simply brush off. But that they are fine and will wake up once they recover.

With a sigh, Nixon helped heal the wounds of the others togetehr with his and the sleeping Stormie.

"What happened to the two of them?" finally Willow asked worriedly.
