Chapter 157: Black Guest [2]

Barbra placed her palm on her table for balance, she watched as Chase Wyatt walked away right before her eyes.

She couldn’t act, she couldn’t think, she just watched as Chase left her office, the door sliding shut.

Her fist clenched, hard. Pain and anger boiling her insides, she took a harsh uneven breath, her eyes clouded with anger. Her head was in disarray and she was forced to hold onto her forehead.

Downtown

"Kayla are you sure we are in the right place?" Race asked for the tenth time today, they had been out here, tracking Genesis’ location but he was nowhere to be found, like a ghost who didn’t want to be found.

Race just sighed, leaning on the black sports car, watching Kayla in a distance checking her device.

"There’s no damn signal" she hissed, angry at the damn device that won’t function well.

Race sighed once more, the number of times he has done that, he just couldn’t count, it was more than enough.

She whirled to him, not looking as angry as she was before, but worried about something.

"Don’t you think maybe we should have told Boss about this?" She reasons.

"You know we can’t, not until we know what Genesis is up to," Race said.

Kayla sighs.

"This doesn’t feel right, I have never done anything without the boss’ permission," she said guiltily.

"Look Kayla, don’t overwork yourself over it, we will tell him just when we know what Genesis is after, you remember what happened when they encounter him before" he reasons.

"He killed Riley’s mom, his own grand mom in cold blood".

Kayla gulps hard, nodding.

"So we keep looking, we handle it ourselves, Boss and Riley have been through enough".

"Okay" she agreed, there was no other way to see it. They have to do this, but in order to do anything, they have to find him first.

Unknown Neighborhood

Genesis was seated on a rooftop, watching the night skies with dull eyes, the wind blowing harshly around, he couldn’t remember the last time he watched the skies, maybe never.

He observed the stars each of them, it was enthralling to watch, as they Illuminate gloriously. If only he knew how wonderful it was to stare at such beauty and not be bothered by anything, it was almost like the world disappeared around him, as he drowned himself in the peaceful highlights of the view.

"You’re at my spot" Heather said from behind.

"You watch the stars too?" he asked without looking back.

She approached him, taking a seat beside him but made sure to give him space.

"Yes I watch the skies too, it’s one of my favorite scenery," she said, enjoying the view.

Genesis eyes sadden.

"This is my first time seeing the stars, all I have ever known is white ceiling, medications, syringes, lots of syringes, water tubes" he said faintly but Heather heard him.

Her eyes sadden at his words, what could he have possibly gone through in there.

"How long have you been inside the agency?" she asked, curious.

"2 years I think, ever since I was a fetus".

Heather froze, wait a minute.

"You said what now?" she asked with a skeptical look.

He finally faced her.

"A fetus" he said shrugging, wondering what the big deal was.

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed, stunned.

"You were genetically made, gosh... Science is getting more crazy... That explains why just your one eye changes, the man behind this is a crazy ass scientist" she said amazed.

"It was my granddad," he said with a frown.

"Oh" she made a sound in a sad tone.

"Sorry I didn’t know".

"It’s okay," he states.

"I did worse," he adds faintly.

"Genesis" she said softly.

"I killed... " his teeth clenched tightly, as well as his fist.

"I killed my own grand mom" he held his head with both hands lost.

"I killed her, with my own hands" he adds, staring at his palms, it showed blood in his vision.

"I clawed her throat out... And do you know what’s worse, I was myself all along when I did it, if only I knew who she really was then... ", his voice shaky, the tears falling on their own accord.

"I tried to kill my own parents too... If I had the chance I would have... They are... They are never gonna forgive me... and... and’’.

Before he knew it Heather embraced him tightly wrapping her arms around his neck, Genesis buried his face in her neck breathing in her scent, relief and calmness flushed through his body in a wave, her scent intoxicating him like a drug.

She then pulled away, he sobs.

"They will forgive you, I’m sure... My mom" she gulps.

"My mom ate my sister... I was so hurt about it and confused, she became a drug addict because of my Dad’s abusive nature, he always hit her and did things to her, he hit me too, her only comfort were the drugs" she said on the verge of tears but she held it in.

"I don’t hate my mom because I know it wasn’t her fault. It wasn’t your fault Genesis, I believe it wasn’t your fault" she said her eyes laced with seriousness.

"You don’t know me," he said with a frown.

"You don’t know anything about me".

"I believe you’re a good person," she said softly, gently stroking his cheek.

Genesis never took his eyes off her as did Heather, she slowly leaned forward gently pressing her lips against his.

Genesis froze at her action as he widened in shock, unable to process what she just did, he pulled away, fast. While grasping for breath.

"I’m sorry" she began haste, her cheeks flushed with red, she didn’t know what came over her, she just felt the need to kiss him, she was wrong to think Genesis felt the same way, it was practically the opposite.

"I shouldn’t have done that, I’m so so sorry" she said embarrassed, covering her heated face.

"Don’t do that again," he said through clenched teeth.

On hearing his word she pulled her hand away from her face, she froze seeing his right eye changed to his ghoul ones, he took slow deep breath, it was heavy and uneven, his fist clenching the roof wood tightly, it cracked from his tight hold.

"It makes me feel weird," he adds in a heavy breath.

Heather couldn’t help it, she burst in a hard peal of laughter.

"Why are you laughing? It’s not funny" he hissed.

"You really need to keep your emotions in check, I heard when ghouls are emotional they can’t control their powers, it’s what’s happening right now" she explains.

"What? I don’t feel any emotion towards you human girl" he hissed.

She frowned at his words, going up in her feet abruptly, hurt as she gasped.

"It’s Heather!" she hissed. "And of course I won’t even think of kissing you again!" she yelled on top of her lungs as she walked away, sliding down leaving a confused and angry Genesis.

"And I just have to be the one to chop up the woods while he’s nowhere to be seen" Josh said sarcastically while chopping the wood in front of him, other piles were still waiting around, to be chopped and it was all on him because Dale decided to ditch.

He growled in frustration.

"Human boy!"

"AAHH!" he shouts going backwards abruptly while holding his ax up in defense, he then sees who it was.

"What the fuck Genesis are you trying to give me a heart attack! " Josh hissed on top of his lungs.

"Didn’t mean to, I have a question and I need an answer" He demands.

Josh sighs, now this weird kid was here to haunt his day, great just... Great.

"What is it dude?"

"What happens when a female gives you her lips? "

Josh froze at his odd question.

"Okay what now?"

"The human girl...".

"Wait, you mean Heather?" he asked with wide eyes.

"Heather kissed you?" he added, stunned.

"Kiss? So that’s what it is" Genesis said rubbing his chin like in deep thought.

"Damn... Dude you kissed Heather?"

"No she kissed me" he corrected, still puzzled by the word kiss.

"That’s so awesome, I knew it, I knew she had a thing for you" he said goofy.

Genesis blinks puzzled, Josh caught on.

"Except you don’t understand" he said but then smirks, wrapping his arm around Genesis neck.

"Relax Gen, I will teach you everything you need to know" he said in a mischievous tone.

"Who kissed who?!" a voice came behind, it was Dale.

Josh and Genesis pulled away from each other as they faced him.

"Uh oh" Josh exclaimed as he froze.

He gave Genesis a look not to talk but the dude just said it anyway.

"The human girl kissed me, so I asked Josh to explain it to me" he said so casually with a shrug.

Dale saw red as he came at Genesis giving him a hard punch on his cheek.
