Broken Path [] Error

[] C h a p t e r 1 3 []

I chuckled, "Nice job Void. It's really cute." I patted Void's head. Void eyes sparkled and smiled widely, Maybe he is a baby but it seems he can understand what I'm saying. It's nice. I looked back at my journey on finding items. I saw there is a big box in the right side of the dumps, Maybe there is clothes in there. I walked to there and opened it. It wasn't clothes, But there was bandages and a knife. Maybe that will be useful.

I grabbed those and put it in my pockets. I will use them later, I must find clothes first. I saw a broken car in another left side. I walked to there, Pushing some heavy garbage away from my path as I opened the door. It was locked. I sighed, Grabbing a brick and broken the window by throwing it. I slid my hand inside the window carelessly as I unlocked the car. I pulled away my arm as I opened the door.

There were a few moneys inside it. I smiled a bit, It will be useful for buying some clothes if I don't found any here. 45 G, Is that enough? I grabbed that and hold it since my pockets are full. I saw a bit baggy shirt lay across the seats. I grabbed it, I can wear it. Now the only things left is I need to find some clothes for the kids. I saw Null at the corner of the dump, Digging something.

"Null, Let's head back and find clothes and a place to stay a night." I spoke, Grabbing the big baggy shirt. At least the colour is still red somehow. I walked to Void, Sitting next to him. Null ran to me with a small bag inside his tiny skele-hand. He stumbled a bit and finally reach here. He showed me what's inside the bag, I smiled when I saw something gold and shiny there. It's some gold coins or G.

"Great job kiddo." I praised him, Stroking Null's skull gently. I think Null didn't know what I mean but he smiled. Null smiled when I said great job. He felt the warm and proud feelings inside his heart. Null didn't know what a great job is, He had never heard about it before, but he knows that it's a good word.

I sighed and took off my jacket and shirt, There's still old bandages on my ribs. At least the kids didn't need to see all those bruises and wounds on my ribs. But luck isn't on my side today as the bandages came loose and fell down. I could hear the kids went silent and stared at me. This is truly an awkward situation. What do you do when you are in this situation? I never know. I immediately grabbed the bandages that I got from the car and quickly wrapped it around my ribs.

I felt two pairs of arms grabbing my arms, I looked at the kids who were staring at me. Worry in their eyes are the worst part. "Abuse you?" Null asked, Looking at my eyes. I felt he was staring at my soul. I shook my head, "Nah, Just a cat scratch my ribs." I tell another lie. How many time do I need to tell lies? I don't want them to be traumatized by my wounds. I need to say lies for both of our best. They are going to go to a new home anyway. Away from a dangerous monster like me.

I smiled softly at them, I don't think they believe me either. For kids they are smart. I put on the baggy shirt and put on my jacket back. I'm happy that only my shirt is torn out, My shoes, pants and jacket were okay. Null tugged my sleeve as I hummed and looked at him. "Magic you?" He asked again, Grabbing my hand and stared at it.

I nodded, "Yeah I have magics.". I summoned my strings as they were tanging on my fingers. They glowed a weak blue colour. He stared in awe and going to grab it but stopped before touching any of my strings. He stared for it a while before looking back at me. "Bad?" He asked again, Tilting his head.

I shook my head in denial, "Yes, It does bad. But I won't harm you two." I smiled as his hands went to grab it. Gasped and touched it curiously, His hands were roaming around it in wonder. He smiled, Knowing it's safe. He didn't know that this strings are the strings that I used to kill thousand life. The strings I used to end innocence life without pity or regret. I afraid that I might use it for something bad to them.
