Chapter 53: Difficult task

There was a sad light in Nicklaus’s eyes as he walked into his room and harshly, he slammed the door behind him. His fist tightened, and his knuckles turned bluish with his eyes red from unleashed held-back anger.

Nicklaus do not know why but every single time, he can’t lash out at her and now, he had to come back into his room with held-up anger that caused turmoil in his heart.

His dark and dangerous eyes focused on his built-in fireplace. With deep thoughts, he fought his tears back into his eyes.

His chest tightened and breathing felt hard for him as he dropped to the floor.

With haggard breath, he sat on the floor and ran his hand through his hair. He warned her not to call him that name again or show him unnecessary care but as usual, the message did not get into that thick scull of hers, and now, she seamlessly pushed him into the memories again.

His nostrils flared as he tried to catch his breath and breath normally. A muscle in his jaw tightened and his fingers dragged on his hair mindlessly.

He laid down on the floor and all of them resurfaced.

The memories he thought he was safe from.

Flashback~~

"Klaus. Come back inside the car," an old nanny ordered when the little boy of five years ran out of the car without a specific place where he wanted to go to.

She was warned to take him far away and she does not know what would come upon her and her family if she does otherwise.

"Klaus, we have to leave," she yelled as she raised her old legs to meet up with the young blood’s fast pace.

But still, young Nicklaus did not turn to her neither did his young legs stop running.

He ran with all strength in him as his goal was to enter the house and make sure his father was alright before leaving for the so-called vacation his parents planned for him.

"Klaus come back here. Come back here Klaus," the old nanny screamed with fright as he got closer to the main yard without stopping.

She looked around the yard and unfortunately, there was no guard in sight to help her stop that young blood from getting to the main yard.

Nicklaus’s small feet came to a shocking halt when he heard a loud bang from the main house. His small body trembled and with a fearful turn, he faced his nanny who also stopped running from the shock of the loud unknown sound.

The old nanny’s body trembled also. She does not know what was happening in the house but she knows she had a task to do - to take Nicklaus over to her Mistress mother’s house.

And another banging sound followed!

Nicklaus’s interest was piqued to know what made that sound from inside the house and what new video game his father was inventing that was so loud and.....maybe, a bit frightening.

He turned to the main house direction and without waiting for his nanny, a curious smile glued on his lips and he ran towards the house.

At first, he had a bad feeling when his mother sent him away without him seeing his father for days but now, it seems like his father was planning a surprise for him with maybe a new fabulous and strange game.

Regaining her senses from the gunshot, the old nanny cried out with fright. "Nicklaus I_" she was abruptly cut off her scream as she dropped to the floor on her chest with a loud thud.

Blood staining her white uniform in an instant.

Reaching the door, the joyous expression on Nicklaus’s face turned 100% as he stretched to open the door knob waiting for his father’s surprised face that he caught him before leaving.

With no knowledge about the dark actions going on around the once quiet yard and the fact that his nanny just died, he giggled hearing another loud sound more closely since he was at the door. With more struggle and a little hop, he got to the doorknob, and with all enthusiasm and an impatient turn, he opened the doorknob.

He looked around the living room he turned uncomfortable with the air inside. His little mind brushed it off as he walked further into the living room and with a frozen face, he stopped.

His chest heaved heavily with fear.

His expression was confused as he watched his parents.

What were these strange men with guns during here and why was his father tied to a chair?

His face changed from confusion to a blush when his mother walked up to his father and kissed him while he was still tied to the chair.

"Maybe, Father is working on a scene for his next game," his little mind concluded and he closed his eyes while shyly peeking from the open lines in his fingers.

And then his mother stood up. Taking his hand off his face, he prepared to run to his parents because right now, the strange men with guns scares his sight so, he wants his parents, particularly his father’s comfort.

And then another sound.

This time, he saw the gun aimed at his father and the strange sounds he had been hearing came from that gun aimed at his father.

He still thought it was some kind of game and he stood there smiling at his father and then his smile froze, his legs trembled and a scream tore out of his lips.

"Father!!" he yelled with tears staining his little face and without restraint, he ran to the scene.

His mother stopped her action of kissing the new man she was with when she heard her son’s voice.

Nicklaus held his father’s face and with the blood pouring from his father’s forehead, he knew directly that his father must have died just like in those characters in the game - when he killed them for victory.

He turned over to his mother and the shocked lady just stood there staring at her son with shock in her eyes. She yanked the strange man’s arms off her waist and ran to her son in an instant.

Kneeling to Nicklaus’s height, she uses the back of her palm to clean her son’s face as fear flashed through her eyes. "Klaus," she swallowed and immediately with rage, she turned to the man she was being lovey dovey with just a while ago.

"Your men killed the nanny ought to take him away," she yelled and her voice trembled to do that. She wasn’t able to believe her son witnessed his father’s death. She married Brendan, Nicklaus’s father for the money and yes she doesn’t have love or care about him but Nicklaus; he was her son. She love and care about him but now, she just turned the devil before him with their carelessness.

Nicklaus turned back to his father with fright as he stared into his father’s open eyes that stared right into his as if he was still alive and the blood and hole on his face were just costumes.

"Klaus,"

And with a weak drop, he dropped on the floor with consciousness slipping off him.

And three months after regaing consciousness from the incident, he found himself in an orphanage with no idea about his mother’s hideout or new address nor did he have any idea if his mother was brought to justice or anything.

Even his grandmother, the only family he knew apart from his parents and nanny never came for him.

All he knew about was the hospital staff saying he was one very lucky boy - for the fact they found him unconscious on the street before he would have slipped into unconsciousness forever.

Not that he cared to know but at least, he would have loved a question little questioning section with her.

Two years later, he was adopted by the Wyatt couple, and lucky him, they were one of the nicest souls on earth and tried their possible best to take him off that trauma.

But each night, his father’s open eyes looked directly into his hunting him and since then, sleep had been such a difficult task.

But each day, he still somehow wishes to be reunited with her once again.
