Chapter 10 - 10 - Chasing the Run Away Bride... Am I in a Story? (1/2)
She was scared, no she felt terrified.
Autumn has known that Li Chen was not at all that kind and gentle person but at the moment, she has never thought that watching Li Chen get mad was terrifying.
She has never saw that side of Li Chen, he can be calm, indifferent, lazy and kind and gentle, but he has never been that kind of a dark person, at least she has never saw it before.
And right now, He was furious beyond reason and the cause of it all was because of a person that has run away three days ago.
Autumn was of course upset to find that the young beautiful boy has run away, but she has never known that he will act this way, leaving without saying good bye properly.
And he, who was the main reason, was no longer here at the moment, running away without a proper farewell and only leaving a letter that was the enough reason that has cause Li Chen to react terrifyingly.
Autumn has never known how dark Li Chen could really get behind those normal and lighter expression that he has been showing for as long as she has known him.
However, she might be terrified and all but she wont fault the little boy for running away, because she knows that he won't be able to run away from Li Chen, ever.
Why?
It was all because of that mark on his chest that she has saw before when she was changing his dirty and bloody bandages.
That mark is very special, specially when it comes to Li Chen life.
Once upon a time, her lady, her master has met a very mysterious person, a very special and famous one in the land.
No one know who he was, where he come from, where he was born, which family he belong, but he has been known and famous over the fact that he has been a fair with a special ability that he has awoken, an ability to see what kind of life a person will live their life.
However, it was said that it was just one of the possibility of a person future that he could glimpse of, because it was a known fact that no one could really tell what will happen in every person future, it was not set in stone, the mysterious person can only get a glimpse among the best possibilities that will happen to a person.
The mysterious person, has the power to catch a glimpse of a person possible future.
However, despite it all, he has been very known for his ability to be right most of the entire time because what he sees was what the highest possibility that it will happen to a person.
And what the mysterious person has told them, what he predict to Li Chen future devastated her very gentle and kind lady.
No one has known aside from the two of them of what that mysterious person has predicted.
But because of what they heard, what that person has spoken that they, no, her lady has decided to take away her first child, her very first son, far away from what supposed to be the child home, away from the place that will give her child the future that has been predicted for him, Autumn lady was just a mother wishing to save her child from his destiny, that was full of pain and hardship.
Autumn Master has always been very kind and gentle but also has strong will and determination once she has decided of certain thing.
It has been almost 13 years when it all happened, as Autumn watched her charged, the child that she watch grow up with, the child that she saw as her own son, being extremely furious for the very first time, before glancing at the now ruin house that they have been living for a very long time.
And she knows that Li Chen will leave this place, going back to the place that he was meant to be, because that place is where Li Chen home in the first place, and Autumn knew that the young beautiful boy also live in that place, she can tell just by his bearing alone specially with narrowed amber eyes that turned indifferent to the people beneath his presence.
He has that certain aura around him that show that he belong and was born in a high prestigious background.
And knowing how hard it will be for her charged to meet those kind of people, specially when he has been away from a very long time and has not grown up with his supposed family that will cause him hard to be accepted, especially when there is a high possibility of a higher chance that he has been dead all the years that he has been missing in the long 13 years.
But Autumn will not stop Li Chen because that little young boy, has been the person that will change her young charged life.
Xen is Li Chen savior after all and Li Chen is Xen savior at the same time.
And as she close her eyes, the voice of the mysterious person echoed loudly in her ears, like it happen just yesterday.
The person who has the mark of a snow flake on their body, close to their heart, will be the person that can change this boy fate and destiny.
That person will be the catalyst to change the life of this boy.
I can see the red string of fate, intertwine on each other, it was something very deep but twisted at the same time, something that has been... what this boy has been looking for, a very very long time.
You could say that they are the catalyst on each other fate.
Good or bad... I don't know, but at least, in this life time, on this time and world, it will be a good thing for this boy life.
So, as she open her eyes once again, and look at the brooding charge of hers, then she open her mouth, ”Child...”and for the very first time, Autumn can finally tell what she has been meaning to tell him after her lady has sealed her child memories in order for him to forget everything.
And as she close her mouth, finishing what she has wanted to tell all this entire time to her charge, Autumn couldn't help but feel a chill at the darkening obsession and possessiveness that was running on Li Chen black ink eyes.
Now and then, Autumn couldn't help but feel grateful that she was not the one who got that slightly crazy interest, infatuated her mind whisper, that she was seeing at the moment.
She has known that Li Chen is not a very normal child from the very start, he was just that good at hiding it and now that he was showing it openly, well, let just say that at least she was not the one getting the attention.
And the person who has run away, she will just give a prayer for him.
But in the end, Autumn mostly care more about Li Chen well being, than the young boy she has just met, despite being the one who will save her charge from his supposed dark future.
.
.
Li Chen is currently sitting on one of the ruin part of his house, black ink eyes close, and a scene of image appearing after.
An image of a young boy with delicate and charming appearance with wide nervous amber eyes could be seen with a thin arms wrapping around from behind of a very unconscious young man that is n.a.k.e.d on his upper body.
It was little Xen with an unconscious Li Chen after the awakening of his internal energy.
Wide amber eyes, glancing around with a redden face, before taking a deep breath as he carries the unconscious body back to the room and into the bed before living the room and coming back after a few minutes with a bucket of hot water and towels on his hands.
Small soft hands, began to wipe the body of the young man with a pink taint on his cheeks despite carrying a serious expression on his face as he does his work on it before taking a deep breath as he began to change the young man clothes.
Just by looking alone, one could tell that the young boy was not use on taking care of a person with just one glance, it is a person use in being served than serving others.
And with a fl.u.s.ter on his face, looking entirely adorable, specially with that beautiful and charming appearance of him, that looking red eye-drop mark under his left eyes making him look more stunning than ever.
Li Chen couldn't help but swallowed hard, as he continue to watch the image being shown to him by Black, who has a record of everything that happen when he was out of it.
Then the young boy, start to clean the young man face with gentleness like the person was a fragile treasure on his small hand, large amber eyes softening as the young boy look at the sleeping young man, before he began to fix the young man long black hair next despite how clumsy he was doing it.
After clumsily doing his very best to take care of the young man, the young boy couldn't help but sat at the age of the bed, amber eyes looking far away as he just sat down for a few minutes of silent before a small hand reach out to take the young man hand, gripping it tightly.
”It's nice in here...” A soft voice echoed suddenly, amber eyes dimming down, ”... I'm very happy, I never really got the chance to relax.”
The young boy couldn't help but sigh in a resign way, before moving quickly that he was suddenly kneeling down at the side of the bed, head lower down touching the young man hand on his forehead, face entirely hidden.
