105 Like a dying man (1/2)

Alex was really burning with rage. This man in front of her at the moment wasn't the same Alex who easily switched moods in a blink of an eye. She could see the furnace of rage he couldn't contain.

Abi slightly shivered but she still didn't let go.

”Now, let go, Abigail.”

She shook her head on his chest.

”You don't need to do something like that anymore, Alex. I am fine, look! It's only a small cut on my leg but other than that, I am fine. I'm sure she already regrets what she did, so there's no need for you to do anything.”

”Abigail, could it be that you're stopping me because you don't want me to do something horrible?” He squinted his eyes as he glared down at her. He held her face as he rubbed her cheek with his thumb. ”Listen, little Lamb, I have already told you before. I'm not an angel like you. I am horrible creature to begin with, doing horrible things are just –”

”No. You're not horrible, Alex.” Abi cut through his words. Her eyes didn't waver as she gazed up at him.

What she said made Alex stare down at her in disbelief. And then, finally, that devilish smile curved on his face. He slowly shook his head, looking up the ceiling and made an angry noise under his breath before he looked at her again. If this little lamb only knew, she wouldn't be so quick to deny his words. He knew what he was and nothing would ever change that, but this silly girl… this silly girl was too naive for her own good.

Alex's expression now seemed to be torn or pained or wary; she didn't know if what she was seeing was the real emotion he was feeling. He was almost impossible to read even at times like this when he was struggling to control himself.

”Abigail… if you knew who I really am, you would run away from me, screaming in fear,” he told her, his voice now serious, as if he was sure of it.

”No, you're wrong, Alex! I wouldn't!” Abi didn't even hesitate to tell him that. She didn't know anything about him. She didn't know what he did or what he was capable of doing. She believed him when he told her that he was dangerous but she didn't feel that she was in danger when she was with him. Sure, she felt scared sometimes, but that was only because his aura was very overpowering and something that she was not used to. She knew deep in her heart that he would never hurt her so knowing that, whatever happened and no matter who he was, she would never run away from him, screaming in fear. In fact, she was certain that she would be screaming in pain instead when it's finally time for her to walk away from him.
