Chapter 16: To Him
(Play Video)
Under the glowing full moon, the lake glittered like tiny jewels. The leaves rustled, and the gentle chilly wind sang a soothing rhythm for the fast-approaching winter.
A lone figure bathed in the warm waters under the light of the stars. His whole person was standing tall, but he seemed so lifeless as he splashed water on his body again and again –– as if to wash away something else entirely.
“Cain . . .”
I whispered, and the man stiffened.
When he didn’t move and continued to turn his back on me, I went into the waters without a second thought and waded my way towards him.
“What are you doing here?”
Cain’s sharp and indifferent tone grounded me on the spot before I ignored it and continued to move closer to him.
“Leave. I’m giving you a chance to be out of this life.”
I pretended that I was not hurt by his cold voice –– his refusal to call my name.
After you made me fall in love with you?
I don’t think so!
I knew I hurt him when I decided to leave instead of trusting him.
“Cain . . .”
“Leave!”
My eyes closed, and my body jolted upon the anger in his voice. His body visibly trembled, controlling whatever it was he was so desperate to control.
Even though it was the first time he shouted at me –– I didn’t feel scared at all. It only made me more determined to get closer to him.
“Cain . . .”
My palms rested on the wet skin of his back before my hands glided to his waist, which made him stiffened.
Like I thought.
He just let me hugged him without any resistance.
“Cain, I’m sorry . . .”
“Why are you apologizing? It was my fault that I drag you into this.”
I shook my head. “I . . . whatever it is . . . I wanted to face your family’s secrets. Your darkness. Your past. Your present. Your future –– our future, with you by my side.”
. . .
. . .
“Leanna . . . I’m . . . I’m not a good person.”
“So am I.”
“I’m a killer.”
“So am I.”
“I’m not joking.”
He pulled away from my embrace and turned to face me. He grabbed my shoulders and shook me awake.
“I’m also not joking,” I said. “I killed insects and rodents and––!”
“These are humans, Leanna! A human––!”
“Life!”
I cupped his face. “It’s still . . . a life . . .”
. . .
. . .
“I’m giving you a chance to walk out from all of this.”
“And I’m giving you a chance to be with me forever.”
Cain huffed a wry smile before he pulled me in his arms. My hand wrapped around his lower back as I ran my other hand through his hair.
“Are you alright with me? With all of these?” he asked, voice shaky.
His breath was hot on the crook of my neck. I closed my eyes and savored his warmth.
“No . . . but with you by my side –– I will be.”
. . .
. . .
Cain brushed his nose along the length of my neck before he kissed the tender flesh. “I’m sorry. I love you so much.”
“I love you more.”
Tears pooled beneath my eyes when droplets of warm water fell on my shoulder.
