---- was something strange in their eyes...
Something like fear.
But isn't there fear in every ones eyes now that they live in a world of monsters? Damien pushed away the thought.
He must be overthinking.
Delving his hands in his pocket, he nudges her foot with his own.
Trying to wake her up when she doesn't even stir.
AL....Alara...
Alexa...
whatever...
hey? He always forget her name.
Not that he had put in even the slightest effort to remember it.
But why should he remember it? They will be going their own ways after it.
Its not like he will ever meet her again.
God damn this woman.
Crouching down on his knees, he turns her over to only find her breathing unsteady.
Her body was limp ---- and her entire forehead and neck were drenched in sweat.
His brows furrow.
She wasn't asleep Something was wrong with her.
Hey? Look at me.
Alex! He finally got her name right but again got no response.
That dread in his chest from earlier solidified into a rock and he looks back to find those men staggering back from him and pressing against the cave walls.
What the fuck did you do to her? Believe us Sir! We did nothing...
she drank the soup and then she said she was going to take a nap.
She...
she told us to not disturb her.
He checks for her pulse and it was racing.....
Could it be a nightmare? Her hands were clenched into fists and pressed to her ---- chest.noveldrama
Like her chest was paining before she passed out.
Before he knows, he opens her clenched palms and interlocks his huge hands with hers.
Their fingers locking.
Her hands...
they were freezing in contrast to her drenched body.
He rubs her hands to warm them and pulls out his bottle to sprinkle some water drops on her face.
Her brows furrow.
Alex.
Wake up.
Look at me.
Those hazel eyes finally flutter open.
Her lips part and she stares at him blankly.
He watches the emotions shift in them.
Fear, anxiety and then relief.
What happened to you? $-Sir Damian? She asks, as if unable to believe he was really here ---- and he nods.
Yes, Its me.
I am right here.
And that's all it took for her to crash her body into his, her arms lock behind his neck and her face nudges into his chest.
Don't leave me...
please.
Tam sorry...
She was sobbing, hugging him so tightly that he was finding it difficult to breathe.
Her scent...
that scent of soil before the rain...it was everywhere.
Engulfing him completely.
Calm down.
Relax- No promise me! Please! I- And then she goes silent as if she had seen a ghost.
Her body goes taut in his arms and Damien furrows his brows to look at her.
Her teary red eyes were fixated behind her.
He looks back and there they were....those three men.
