3036 Family Bonds (Part 2)

"I owe you an apology, Kami. I was young and stupid back then. Now I realize how unfair I've been to you but I hope you can find the strength to forgive me. Also, they are *our* parents. No matter what they did, they are still our mother and father." Kaz replied.

"First off, don't call me Kami." She replied with a snarl that the Rys echoed. "Only family can do that and you are no family. Second, Kima and Clefas are *your* parents. I became an orphan once when they disowned me and twice when I disowned them.

"Third, I'm surprised to see you here. I would expect you to try and get whatever you came here for from Zin. I know that you and Clefas always considered her the weak link because of her good heart.

"Yet if you had visited her, she would have told me. What's the matter? Did you finally grow a conscience?"

The mention of Zinya made Kaz swallow several lumps of saliva before he could calm down. Kamila was right and she was indeed his last-ditch attempt.

The first had been approaching Filia and Frey. Kaz had played his role as the good Uncle after Fallmug had taken them away from their mother and he had a good relationship with them.

Also, gaining the sympathy of the children was the best way to get back in their mother's good graces and, in turn, of her rich, old, fat husband.

Kaz had gone to meet Filia and Frey outside their school a few weeks ago and he was sure everything would go well until he had seen their pets. They were smaller than the dogs near Kamila but they had met Kaz's gaze as soon as he had stepped toward the children.

Then, the dogs had smiled.

Dogs weren't supposed to smile. The corners of their lips weren't supposed to curl up nor their eyes to express savage joy and expectation like that. If it wasn't impossible, Kaz Retta would have sworn that the cruel smile of the dogs extended to their eyes.

As he got closer, he had witnessed the black-slitted yellow eyes of the cute furballs turn completely black. Then, the kids had said something and the dogs had barked, except it sounded like a laugh. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

A mirthless sound that laughed at Kaz, not with the children. At that point, he had panicked. Kaz had run away as fast as he could and every time he turned back, he could swear that the dogs were still following him with their eyes, laughing.

It had taken him a few days to compose himself and realize it was all in his head. Still, he avoided the children and went for Zinya, just to be safe.

Once again, the moment Kaz had seen her in the crowd, a feeling of dread had filled him. There were no dogs, but something was still staring at him. White eyes opened in the shadows of the people closest to him.

At first, he had thought to be hallucinating, but then he had suddenly fainted.

When he woke up, he was back in his hotel room and the eyes were everywhere. In the shadows, on his own reflection in the mirror, and on every two-bit painting decorating the room.

He had tried to run away, but the door refused to budge. He had called for help, screamed, punched the door, and stomped the floor, but no one answered. He had remained trapped for over two days with no food and just the few drops of water he could conjure.

He had cried, begged, and prayed, but the nightmare ended only once he swore to the gods above and below he would never bother Zinya ever again. The gods remained indifferent but the Eldritches answered his plea.

"We have a deal." The door flung open, revealing a maid who looked at the disheveled form of Kaz Retta like he was insane.
