Chapter 253 - Gavrael (Part X)

"J-just let me help you stop the bleeding. After that, you can go." She offered firmly, having no thoughts of allowing him to reject her offer. He had saved her life just now in the forest. Though it was due to him that she had ended up there in the first place, she was clear that she still needed to thank him for fighting off those beasts. Heaven knows what would have happened if he had been unhappy at her rejection and unwilling to come to her rescue! Although he was still terrifying to her, but her fear seemed to have been pushed aside when he laughed. She did not know why but the look in his eyes when he laughed seemed to calm and brighten up the dark atmosphere a little. She also did not know why but despite what he had done and what she saw, she could not ignore him. She reasoned to herself that this was definitely due to him coming to her aid and also because he was wounded now.

She remembered that she was like this too when she found a wounded wolf years ago. Even though she was scared, knowing that the animal was dangerous, she still could not bear to leave it alone. She realised that she was behaving the same way towards this person too. She sighed internally and told herself that this might come back to bite her in the ass one day. However, she knew that this was a trait within herself that could never be 'cured'.

"Please let go of my hand so I can check on your wound. Don't worry, I am quite good at this." She added and he smiled. Looking at his smile, she was feeling dazed as it was incredibly breath taking. How could a male have such a beautiful and attractive smile? That in itself was sinful beyond belief! But then, his smile suddenly faded and his gaze on her turned serious. She was taken aback at the abrupt change in his mood and wondered what might have triggered it.

"If you insist to do this, I might take back what I said a while ago that I'm not going to bother you anymore." His eyes gleamed. "If you don't want me to take back my words, don't do anything and just let me leave right now. You can make your choice."

The intensity in his voice made her gulp. She could feel that he was not joking around. If she did not want this dangerous stranger back, she must do as he had said and send him away now.

She stared at his devil-blue eyes and then her gaze fell to the blood that was still flowing from his wounded forehead. She told herself, this stranger was not someone weak. In fact, he could even be as dangerous as the devil himself! She had seen it with her own two eyes. This wound might not kill him. He was not a helpless little animal. He would not die from such a small wound.

"Time's up." His voice echoed, a smile now playing on his face, causing her to crease her brows. "The time I've given you to decide is up. Since you're unable to answer on time, I'm taking that as your answer to permit me in coming back here to see you again." He declared triumphantly. His eyes gleamed with amusement as he observed her bewildered face, and there was no more trace of the fearsome and raging stranger from a while ago.

He let go of her hand and lowered himself to the chair that was next to him while she was looking at him, speechless and still in the midst of processing what he said. "Alright, you can now treat my wound, Little Butterfly. I might die if you delay any longer … you don't want anyone finding a dead body in your room later, do you?" He smiled, pleased as punch and she did not know what to even say for a while.

Before she knew it, her body had moved on its own and started treating his wound. Did he just trick her into doing what he wanted with that question and choice earlier?

She silently swallowed nervously. Wondering if she had made a grave mistake.

He lifted his gaze. "You're scared again?" he asked, and she saw that his smile had faded.

"I'm… just nervous…"

"Why?" His voice came out a little rough.

"I don't want to go through that again."

"That…"

"W-what you did… you suddenly appearing in my room and then abducting me like that. It scared me to death." She complained to him as she was using a long strip of cloth to wrap around his wound now. Somehow, she was surprised to be exchanging words with him so naturally.

He fell silent for a while.

"If I stop doing any of those things again, will you stop fearing me?" he asked and she halted, looking at him seriously. But before she could respond he looked away, his expression darkening again, making her nervous. "Of course not, right? You don't fear me just because of what I did. You just fear me because of what I am." He muttered bitterly. However, she heard him clearly as she was close enough to him.

His words made her crease her brows, puzzled. "What… you are?"

"You fear me because I look like a monster to you as well…" his blue eyes gleamed in the dark, as if he was certain that he was right. "Isn't that right?"

"You… I don't know what you are… but I don't believe that you look like a monster. Honestly, you look nothing like one!" She candidly told him, and he stilled, frozen as he looked at her, as if he could not believe what he had just heard. "I am scared of you because you kept scaring me. The things you did since the moment I first met you in the forest was what made me scared of you."

He fell silent and then suddenly, he winced in pain.

"God dammit!" he cursed clutching his chest.

Seeing that he was in excruciating pain, she panicked. "What's wrong? Are you alright? Did I do something wrong?" She thought perhaps she had accidentally treated his wound wrongly.

He stood and touched her face. A pained smile curved on his lips. "I'm sorry… but I have to go now. See you tomorrow –" his face paled even as he quickly spoke, as though rushing to get somewhere quickly.

And then he disappeared – seemingly into thin air – leaving her standing there, stunned. The leftover strip of the cloth still hanging from her fingers.
