112 Chapter 112: Koala bear (1/2)

They quickly looked at each other before following him.

Loki rushed in with a frantic expression and his eyes narrowed upon seeing the interior of the house.

He ignored all the bloody marks as he shouted frantically, ”Stella!!”

His eyes swiftly turned towards a direction as he moved further inside. His eyes widened when he saw Stella running flusteredly towards him as if a ghost was chasing her.

He saw her eyes widen in hope when her eyes landed on him. Stella ran towards her savior and jumped on him stunning Loki. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she murmured, ”Thank God, you are here.”

Loki knitted his brows and looked behind her for the potential enemy but he frowned when no one came out.

Suddenly he heard gasps as he turned around with the koala hanging on him tight. His lips twitched when he saw Hazel and the rest look at him bewilderedly.

They raised their eyebrows at Loki making him shrug which was quite difficult for him to do with Stella hugging him tightly. She had her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck. She buried her head under his shoulder blades and kept whimpering, ”Ghost... there was one... it was trying to attack me.”

Loki awkwardly raised his hand as he patted her back and asked gently, ”Where is it?”

Liz looked taken aback when she saw the gentle expression on Loki's face. She inched towards Hazel with her lips twitching and asked, ”Is that our Loki?”

Hazel looked at her and nodded her head.

Liz squinted her eyes at the pair as she mumbled, ”Really? Are you sure?”

Hazel bit her lips as she slowly shook her head. The girls looked at each other before turning to look at Loki.

Stella kept shrieking, ”A ghost... ghost... there” and pointed her shaky finger in one direction.

Everyone looked at the table she was pointing at with a frown. There was nothing there...

Hazel raised her hand as she noticed the bright blood at the corner of the table. She looked at the rest with her finger on her lips and gestured towards the corner.

Usui had his eyes locked on Stella from the start. He ignored the table and moved towards the pair. Loki knitted his brows when he saw Usui stop in front of her. He clenched his hand into a fist as he watched Usui sigh.

”I'm sorry for her actions. You can let her go now, I can take care of her.”

Instantly Loki's face darkened when he heard him apologize for her.

'Who the hell is he to apologize for her?'

But, both of them didn't expect Stella's actions as she tightened her hold around Loki and buried her head under his neck. She tightened her legs around his waist and had Loki in a tight grip.

Usui looked shocked for a minute before he closed his eyes. He looked at Loki but before he could open his mouth, he heard him say, ”Let her be. She would come down when she's ready.”

Even though he was confused by his words, Usui nodded as that was the only thing they could do.

Loki watched Usui turn around towards the rest with a small smile on his face. He had to stop himself from grinning like an idiot. He glanced down at Stella who was still murmuring, ”Ghost..ghost.”

He chuckled softly and slowly wrapped his hand around her petite waist. He held her and lifted Stella to a more comfortable position. He almost lost it when he felt her tighten her hold around his neck.

He wanted to inhale the flowery fragrance from her silver hair but soon decided against it. He looked away from her and focused on the table. His face shifted when his eyes locked onto the table. He tightened his hold around her as he looked at the table.

Hazel approached the table quietly as she signaled everyone to be ready with their weapons. Jinha suddenly went forward and slowly clasped the table without her needing to explain.

Hazel smiled gratefully at him making Usui grimace. She unsheathed her sword and looked at Jinha who was prepared to haul the table away from the wall.

Nodding their heads, they prepared to take action.

Detecting the silence around her, Stella raised her head from his shoulder and saw them surrounding the table. Her eyes widened as she opened her mouth to warn them, ”Be careful...”

Before she could complete her words, she saw them act together. In the count of three, Jinha hauled the table away from the wall and Hazel raised her sword to attack the demon. But to their surprise, they saw no demon instead there laid a boy looking at them in fear.

Hazel lowered her sword stunned which made the kid narrow his eyes. The little kid suddenly ran towards Hazel and slashed her arm. Hazel looked stunned as she looked at the blood oozing out from her arm.
