Chapter 4

Hot Pursuit

Claire's POV

What have I done!?

'You shouted at him.' The angel appears on my right shoulder.

'You told him to leave.' The devil poof-ed out on my left shoulder. It's your fault you little devil!

"I..I.." I can't talk. I've done wrong. Gray just stands there like a statue. His gaze is unreadable. I've put us into an awkward situation.

"I..I leave now." Gray please don't. I didn't mean to shout at you. I keep talking in my mind, but the words don't come out of my head. I try to move my hand but I can't. My hand stands still.

"Don't.." Finally! A word came out from my mouth! I can speak again!

"Huh?" Gray stands still. His eyes telling me that he's confused by my behavior. Think Claire! Think!

"Don't go.. I didn't.. mean..to.." I tried to explain, but the words won't come out from my mouth. My hands strengthen its grip to my overall pocket. How could I shouted like that?

I waited for Gray to answer, but no words come out from his mouth.

"I'm sorry." Surprisingly, Gray finally talked. He's apologizing to me now. I'm the one who should say sorry to him! How could he think like that?

"NO!" Oh Goddess why should I shout like that, again!?

'What are you trying to do Claire?' The Angel finally speaks. I don't know what I'm trying to do either. I screw up.

"I'm..I'm the one who should apologize. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Gray answered. And one thing I've never seen until now, Gray smiled warmly to me. He is cute. Without his hat, I can see his whole face. And it's...

'Breathtaking.' I heard the Devil speak before she swoon at the sight of his face.

'Yes indeed.' The angel said before she went to her own daydream. And in one second, my face began to flush. I bet my face is as red as a ripe tomato now.

"Are you okay? Your face is..red."

"Oh! I'm..I'm okay." I smiled with my warmest smile.

"Well, that's good." I almost forget! Those two –I look at the swooning devil and daydreaming angel- told me that I have to suit myself and don't look in the mirror. So something must be wrong with my appearance.

"Um..Gray.. do you have a mirror?" Silly me asking something like that to a boy like Gray. He must not have a mirror. Why would he have it?

"I don't have any." Stupid Claire for asking something like that! Stupid!

"But, I found one in the drawer." He said while he put back his hat to its rightful place. I run to the drawer beside the bed as fast as I can. I open the drawer, and there it is. A mirror lay inside, I take the mirror and..

"HARVEST GODDESS!" I see my reflection, and the purplish mark on my forehead. IT'S BIG. The worst part is that it's right on the center of my forehead! And there's a scar too! Even it's not too big but it's making my face looks worse than it was before.

So this is why those two (the devil and angel Claire) told me to suit myself and to don't look in the mirror. MY FOREHEAD! It's... PURPLE! And all of this is because Gray. He's the one who slammed the door right to my face! Now look the result of it! I tried to test if it hurts or not, and the result is, IT HURT. SO MUCH.

"Ouch.." I keep rubbing the bruise on my forehead. Gray! You have to pay for this!

"Claire.." Shut up Gray you're gonna pay for what you've done. And don't try to run away from me.

"GRAY!-I give Gray a death glare-YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS!" I quickly grab the back of his jumpsuit. I knew you were trying to run away Gray.

'Claire what are you doing? It was an accident!' Great, now my own angel decide to defend him.

'I agree with her. It was an accident.' What?! The devil agrees with the angel? I see that you two decided to defend him because you like him. You're swooning at the sight of his face back there devil. And you-I stare to the angel 'me'-you were daydreaming about him since you saw him smiling! How could you two betrayed me?

'We are you, you are us. Don't you remember Claire? We're not betraying anyone. We're just trying to explain that it was an accident, he didn't do it on purpose Claire.' The angel talked. 'I agree with her. Why would he do it on purpose in the first place anyway?' The devil defend her enemy. Since when the devil trying to be a good person? Aren't they supposed to fight each other? And now they defend each other. Great.

'I may be a devil, but I'm not that evil.' The devil defends herself. Yeah whatever. Okay, I'll release him. Now can you two just go away?

'Okay. We'll go.' With that those two are gone. They're right though. It was an accident. But he still have a responsible of this 'accident'.

"Claire...I'm sorry, I didn't know you're behind the door and I thou-" I release him, and turned his body, so he's facing me now. I put my index finger infront his mouth.

"Gray, shut up." An urge to strangle him come out, but I manage to handle it, for a while.

"Okay, so, do you see this?-I pointed the purplish spot on my forehead- and this-I pointed the scar on the right side of my head-?" He answered with a nod. Okay, let's continue then.

"How can I cover a large bruise and a scar?" Yeah, how? I don't want to look ugly with a large bruise on my forehead. He stands still.

"Do you have any idea how much it takes to not follow my urge to strangle you right now?" Gray's face turn pale.

"But, I still can manage it. For awhile." Then, his face turn to its regular color. Seeing his hand holding his hat to cover his face like that, a great idea pops out of my brain.

"I have an idea!" His face becomes pale again.

"Gray." I call his name as sweet as I can. Time to show Gray the magnificent puppy eyes of mine!

"Y-yes?" Oh my Goddess, he's kinda cute while he stammered and blush like that. Okay, continue.

"Since you're the one who caused this..." I cut my talk on pupose, I like seeing his face blushing like that. His face is so red right now! I can compare his face with a ripe tomato.

"I.." I peek closer to his hidden face. Damn this stupid hat, it covers his whole face. I can't see his face clearly! Well, not anymore! I quickly grab his hat from his big head, and put it on my own head. It is a big hat, but at least it covers my bruise and scar.

'What a good idea Claire!' The angel pops out and claps its hand while grinning like a mad person.

'It is a good idea. But you forget something.' The devil Claire pops out. What?

'Gray.' At first I was confused, but then I realized that Gray staring at me like I'm his prey. Goddess! Did I just make the monster inside Gray awake? I never saw him like this! Bad Idea Claire! Very bad Idea!

I run to the outside of the room. I don't care if everyone thinks I'm crazy or what, I need to save my life from furious Gray!

Elli was shocked when she saw me running through the counter, I give her a wave and then run again to the outside of the clinic. I can hear the doctor shouting my name, but I refuse to give it a response, because when I turn my head, furious Gray is only five step behind me. Maybe I can hide at the spring mine! Yes! Gray won't find me there.

"Claire! Stop!" Gray's voice just getting louder, that means his close to my back!

"Eeekk!" I quicken my pace.

'RUN CLAIRE!' The Angel pops out above my head. I think I've a company now, I guess it's not too long before the other one pops out.

'HE'S GETTING CLOSER!' There she is. Holding my left shouder with her petite hand, trying to get on it. Well, at least I'm not alone.

'Hurry Up Claire!' Yeah, devil that wears prada, I'm trying to be as fast as possible. You're not the one who running anyway, and you're not the one who feel tired, so just shut up!

'At least I feel the adrenaline of it. Oh! And the way you're afraid of get caught, I feel it too! And just for your information,I don't wear prada today.' Whatever.

'Will you two stop?! We lost him. He's gone.' Really? We've only in front of the blacksmith. There's no way we've lost him already. I have bad feeling about this.

'Let's just go home.' The Angel reccommend. Okay, I'm tired too, running across the town just to avoid that scary man. Even just to calm my nerves and catch my breath, I've to wait for a minute. My heart just won't slow it's pace. It keeps beating rapitly, I feel like a hummingbird with it's quick heartbeat.

'That was a hot pursuit baby! Let's do it again!' Are you kidding me? You do it devil! With your black high heels on, plus your long black gown. If you win, you'll get a prize.

'I would do it, but, Gray couldn't see me. So, it's a waste of time to chase a person you can't see.' You always making exuces you little brat.

'Hey, it's not my fault, it's the gen.' Then I just blame the mother of this little annoying devil.

'How dare you blam your own mother!' The angel snapped. Excuse me?! How could I blame my OWN mother? It's her mother the one I blamed!

'Remember you are us and we are you?' The devil remind me. Yeah I'm you and you are me. Yeah, I just blamed my mother for myself.

"Just peachy." I'm tired of this stuff, and I just want to lay on my bed. I turned around, then I regret my action in the second.

"Eeeek! Leave me alone!" I heard a poof sound, and I knew those two were gone.

Gray's POV

There she is in front of the blacksmith's. The blonde brat who stole my hat. She just stand there, and keeps showing many weird expression like she's talking to someone.

'Maybe she's insane.' The devil 'me' pops out. Now, you're the one who told me she's cute back there when I chase her, and now you tell me she's insane.

'She's an insane cute blonde.' The angel one joined us. Shut up, don't poison my mind with your babbling about that girl. I swear if you swoon again like before, I'm going to tear your wings.

'Ha! Take that!' Shut up. You too devil. If you attempt to pollute my mind with your dreams about that girl, I swear I'm gonna cut your 'oh so-beautiful' devil horns.

'Hey, don't be a jerk like that! Look! Claire's going somewhere.' The devil told me, and the next thing I know is my feet moving by it's own, getting my body out from my hiding on the bush beside the sidewalk, the next second Claire's in front of me, she turned around, look at me, then run away. It happened in one second! How could she do that? Even I didn't have a chance to talk! She just shout and run. I heard she screams about leaving her alone or something. Like I would, I won't leave her alone if she still have my hat.

'I guess the chase is on again.' The angel spoke. And then, my feet start to move toward the petite blonde. Hot in pursuit.
