Chapter 76: A Glimpse Of A Past
His eyes opened because there were only images of her he could see, but then his heart slammed a beat when he saw the position she took right now. What in god’s name was she thinking? She had her face to the side, her neck exposed to him, an action he knew she did purposely, like an inviting disaster for him.
Her eyes shut close awaiting, waiting for him to do the unthinkable, why? Why was she doing this? Why was she inviting the devil in?

His looks, his eyes, although they were lost I could see he was fighting for control, he was trying to restrain himself, his gaze to my neck and then I knew it, he said a word before about how he wanted to sink his fangs in my neck, if that would calm the beast within him and stop him from hurting then I would oblige, I could smell it, I could smell his blood due to how tightened his fist was, his nails must be relentlessly digging in his flesh, I did not know why his beast was triggered, but if sinking his fangs to my neck would cure him of this pain, then I would let him.
I waited, my eyes shut tightly, my neck now exposed to him, my heart slamming loudly in my chest as I waited in inching anticipation. I felt his breath against my neck and then my heart quickened but I remained still, I had to, for him, I didn’t want to see him in pain. I couldn’t bear it, tears leaked from my eyes, it was almost like I could feel his pain and I wanted it to stop.
"You would offer yourself to the devil?". I gasped at the demonic voice which was Cedric’s, my eyes flashed open as I turned but the next thing I knew Cedric was off me, just like a brush of wind. I sat up with a raspy breath, he stood close to the chair, backing me, his tightened grip on the iron.
"Cedric," I said softly, hoping I was actually speaking to him right now, he remained still where he was. I noticed his extended nails were back to normal, was the beast gone? Was the pain gone?
"A-Are you alright?" I asked. There was immersed silence, please tell me you’re okay, please.
"I’m fine", a breath of relief washed upon me, his voice was back to normal, he leisurely whirled to me, his looks were normal also, I pondered how he was able to come back but his eyes weren’t, the darkness was still within them, his green eyes wasn’t present, it was still pitch black, I could see the hollow in them, the emptiness.
