Chapter 60: Leaving the pack
Once her feet touched the ground, she rushed towards Daniel. The others moved aside and watched in fear and anxiety as Naomi fell to her knees and threw her arms around Daniel, cradling his head close to her chest.
The Kitsunes stood far off, standing side by side like the warriors they were, anticipating what would happen next with a nonchalant look on their faces.
Talia, Brittany and Barton were conscious of the dangerous creatures’ prescence but they were more worried about Daniel to care what would happen anytime after Naomi helped him.
"Daniel." She whispered into his ear like the after-math of a mother trying to sooth her child from a horrible nightmare.
Her lips and nose were buried in his hair, his black locks glistening with her tears as she silently wept when she felt the pain he was experiencing.
A sigh escaped his lips when he felt her embrace, her refreshing scent flooding his nostrils just as his did to her, igniting all the cells and organs in her body.
Kelvin had stopped howling but he was silent now which was unlike him. Daniel blinked when he realize Naomi was holding him in her arms. Without a thought, he moved back and pushed her and Naomi gasped as she fell to the ground on her bottom.
She could feel dark energy surrounding the area just as Daniel stood up but she raised an hand, stopping the Kitsunes from making any further moves. She didn’t realize just how much her raises arms affected the Kitsunes. They were forced to obey her at once.
"I didn’t need your comfort..." He stooped low to her height on the ground and when their eyes locked, he painfully shut his on feeling all the emotions swirling in her eyes in his heart. "I..." He was finding it hard to speak. This was difficult but he couldn’t stop himself. He was hurt that she was leaving without a second thought and he was angry that he was sad she was leaving. Why should he be feeling this way? She was going to the enemies’s territory which happened to be her home, right?
