The Dark Sapphire Eyes's

Part 82's

The night was so cold, it seemed like a strong wind made the lights in the village was in trouble, until from morning until now, the lights were still out, the whole village only used candles or firewood as lighting. Hanna was in the kitchen, she was lighting candles.

"Luckily I have bought quite a lot of candles while walking in the village, electricity in this village is often problematic." Mumbled Hanna.

"Oh yeah, is Darko asleep?" Hanna walked slowly towards the winding wooden staircase, she held the wooden staircase leading to the upper floor. Darko's laughter rang out, Hanna then stopped walking.

"Darko? You haven't slept, honey?"

"No mom, I'm down here." Her speech.

"below?? it's Darko's night, get upstairs, get to bed, baby." Hanna looked left and right, she was so surprised to see Riel standing alone in front of the window upstairs, Hanna walked over to her.

"Riel, is that you?"

Riel turned around, she then smiled. "I'm here Hanna."

"You've eaten? I'll prepare something for you if you haven't eaten." Hanna noticed Riel standing in front of the window as if staring at something in the darkness of the night.

"Look, I've eaten, you don't worry about me Hanna, better find Darko, he's hiding somewhere, he likes to play hide-and-seek in the dark." Riel's eyes were still staring at the dark night from the window.

"Aren't you afraid?" Suddenly asked Riel.

"Why should I be afraid, Riel? You're here." Hanna.

"Yes, you're right Hanna, I will always protect you, and the one thing I want to tell you, regarding Darko, I have to say, Darko is not the same as me." Her speech.

"Be.is it not the same? You mean Darko's never gonna change?" A smile almost unraveled from Hanna's face.

"Darko is not the same as Hanna, I am controlled by the poison, but Darko, no one controls it, Darko himself is the poison, you have to be careful of him, you understand."

"Why should I be careful of my own son? He's my son Riel, he's not a monster." Hanna looked angry, why is everyone always telling her to be careful with her own son?

Riel turned to look at him. "One day you'll understand what I'm saying, get some sleep, and Darko'll be asleep soon if he's tired."

"But I have to find Darko, Riel, since you said he was playing hide-and-seek." Hanna.

"I'll look for him."

Hanna doubts Riel's words, if she can control Darko, because Darko only listens to Hanna's words.

"I've found the location sir." Thomas.

Axton quickly answered Thomas's phone, "send the location right now."

"Good sir."

Axton gets a point where the car Hanna used. "What'sthis? That car is in suburban Atlanta?" said Ax.

"We go there now Ax, wherever he goes, we'll catch up with them." Dazon. No matter how long they had been in the car, and circling the city, they continued to look for it, time did not matter, their car continued to drive across the city to the city, and it was time for them to reach the place they were headed.

"We've reached Daz." Axton said, now at 12 pm, they get out of the car, they check around the location that looks empty, they are looking for the intended car, but unfortunately, it is, the car was no longer there.

"Dam." Dazon. He stood leaning against the car and took out a cigarette and a lighter from his jacket.

"You smoke Daz?" Axe asked who was also leaning beside him.

"Either since when did I start smoking, perhaps since I heard strange news in the mansion." Dazon lit his lighter, cigarette smoke billowing out of his mouth, he then looked at the dark sky as if thinking of something.

"I admit, my attention to Darko was very little, only Hanna was always by his side, I was not a good father, I always made Hanna cry, Hanna said, although I tried to ignore Darko's illness and pretend that everything was fine, but the reality was not like that, the more days I heard many reports from people, also from the cctv footage, the more, although aunt lexia wanted to hide the video, but I've seen what Darko did."

"Mom's? You mean my mom hid the video? Butwhy? wouldn't it be better if we knew about it and looked for a way out to cure Darko." Ax.

"Loue deleted it, but he was a step late, I had seen the video, however while in Europe, I was busy looking for a doctor for Darko, but I did not find it, I did not find it, then Niel offered me a mental illness treatment at a rehabilitation center in Europe, maybe that made Hanna mad at me, a father could put her son in such a place." Said Dazon while shaking his head.

Axton did not say anything, he just patted Dazon on the back, as if giving encouragement to him and trying to find a way out.

"What do you mean Hanna and Darko escaped from the Mansion, what did Dazon do until Hanna ran away from the mansion?" Said Lexia angrily, after Lexia received the news, that day she immediately packed up and left for Atlanta.

Same with lexia. Xaphier received the news, both of them were so shocked and also took the first flight to the mansion in Atlanta.

"Everything has come?" Ask Dazon.

"Yup get ready, it looks like soon there will be a commotion from my mother" Ax said.

For some reason Riel pulled Hanna into hiding behind the closet, she raised one of her index fingers in front of her lips telling her to shut up.

"What's Riel? Why are we hiding?"

"Darko is coming soon."

"Then?" Hanna did not understand.

"Look off." His whisper.

The small footsteps walked up and up the stairs, her feet were heard climbing the winding wooden stairs, her voice was making a strange hum, making Hanna put up her ears and listen carefully.

"Mommy? Uncle Riel?" There was a sweet laugh from his voice. "Hide Uncle Riel, Darko will look for you, until he finds uncle and mommy" he said with a laugh, "Don't until I find you."

Darko hummed softly, this time Hanna let go of Riel's hand, she was really angry to see her son like that, she didn't care what his son would turn into, but as her mother, she was really angry, he had to face his son no matter what. His footsteps stepped quickly, making Darko who was walking in the darkness turn to look at Hanna.

"Darko, Darko is mommy, what are you doing baby, no hide and seek these nights, time to sleep." Hanna said in a firm voice.

Darko stood in the darkness, he smiled and stepped slowly closer to her, Hanna knew in Darko's hand there was a kitchen knife in her hand, Hanna didn't care anymore, he ran towards his son and held both of his small shoulders and shook him.

"Darko, this darko mommy, you don't know mommy? look at mommy's face, do you want to hurt me?" Hanna said while holding back her cries.

Darko shook his head quickly, "I'm playing with Uncle Riel, not with Mommy, so mom take it easy, I'll always take care of mommy." Her speech.

"Uncle Riel is not here, only the two of us are in this villa," Hanna said, they stared at each other, only the candlelight from the room gave a little light, they looked at each other.

"Uncle Riel where's mom? we're playing hide-and-seek koq."

"Uncle Riel's gone, he's out there looking after us, so don't look for him anymore, uncle Riel's tired, you must be tired too baby."

"Oky mom, get here first the game with uncle." Darko. Hanna breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange smile was still visible on Darko's face, as Hanna's hand slipped off his shoulder, Darko nimbly ran over, his laughing voice echoing around Hanna.

"Got you, uncle Riel." Darko said, Riel turned around, she was so shocked, and at that moment she did not expect that when Darko ran towards her, his legs felt sore and warm, something had slashed Riel's legs, after that, after that, Darko ran and went back into hiding, his laughter sounding stifled feeling that what he was playing was quite funny and normal for him.

Hanna stood there, she immediately ran up to Riel, one of her legs slashed and shed a lot of blood. "Riel, oh no Riel, that's.wait a minute, I'll treat you." Hanna turned pale, what if Riel couldn't contain her anger? he must treat her immediately. Hanna headed to her room, she brought the medicine box that she had indeed provided, after which she returned to where Riel who was still standing there.

With trembling hands, Hanna took a cotton swab and lowered her head while holding back her cries, she cleaned Riel's legs from the blood splattered on the floor, the wound was not deep, but the incision was quite long on her legs.

"Don't worry Hanna, just a slight wound, I'm fine, most importantly now, we have to figure out how to treat Darko, otherwise, he will become uncontrollable, until this point, until now, at least she's still listening to you, she won't hurt you because you're her mother, if the situation keeps getting worse, she won't look at anyone else Hanna, she'll get out of control someday." Riel.

They were all sitting in the living room, Lexia was furious, as well as Xaphier and Nara, she was waiting for the arrival of Dazon and Ax who had not yet come out of their respective rooms, after their long and exhausting night trip.

The atmosphere is less pleasant during breakfast, because there is no conversation. After breakfast, they all gathered in the living room.

Lexia's sharp gaze, made Dazon misbehave. "Explain Dazon, why did Hanna leave you, what did you do until it ended like this?" Dazon took a deep breath, his face looked dull, he then told him everything that happened in the mansion.

"Ck, how could you be so narrow-minded as that Dazon, Darko is your flesh and blood, you should pay more attention to him and love him, I don't understand your attitude, I'm really disappointed in you." Xaphier looked very angry, he stood up and immediately left the living room.

"Where have you been looking for her, dear?" Nara asked, she was very worried to see the state of her son, Dazon looked messy, his face looked pale, the circles under her eyes were still mapped there.

"We've been looking for her out of town, Aunt Nara" Axton said.

Thomas suddenly came, he bowed briefly to all of them. "Sir, there was a report from one of the bodyguards who gave the information this morning, they said there was a woman and a small child living in one of the villages, he had just come from the city and occupied a villa in that village." Thomas. Dazon's face suddenly lifted, he then stood up while listening to the information.

"The village? what village is Thom?" ask lexia.

"The village was named East Rosewell, the village was outside the city of Atlanta, the journey to the village was quite far, sir." Her speech.

"Wait what else, we'll go there now." Lexia's orders. They were all moving, Dazon, Axton and Lexia were about to depart, while Xaphier and Nara were going to wait in the mansion, Nara was sick, so she could not go anywhere, she said, moreover, he needed Xaphier beside him.

"Lexia, let us know immediately, if you've arrived there." Lexia nodded and they immediately went towards the village.
