The Blood all over the body.
Gaius woke up in the middle of the night, sweating horribly.
His heart was beating extremely fast.
He saw Adeeba sleeping beside him.
She wasn't aware if the nightmares he saw.
He never told her about it.
Gaius got out of the bed and went to the balcony. He looked around.
They left New York to redeem themselves together.
But, Gaius still thought that he didn't deserve redemption and Adeeba.
He thought he was still a monster.
Those screams, cries, fear in his preys eyes and the blood all over his body terrified him.
He couldn't sleep properly.
Then, he looked back and saw Adeeba standing behind him. She came and stood beside him. They didn't speak for a while.
"Still having those nightmares?"
"Yes. And they're getting terrible."
"I don't deserve this redemption.
I don't deserve you, Adeeba.You deserve so much better. Not me."
"You think that I'm a person who has never killed anyone? Like I've always done good deeds and still do?
And you know that. I was also a killer.
I loved killing my preys so much.
Their screams, blood, cries and the fear in their eyes made me feel like a God.
But, then I realized that I was wrong.
It was all Rheya's doings, but I did all that. So, I promised to myself that time that I'll do as many good deeds as possible.
That I'll redeem myself. I can't undo what I've done, but I can try not to do that ever again, right? You can also do the same.
You deserve so much better. "
Adeeba looked at him and he looked back at her.
"I don't know. I'm afraid. What if I lose control over myself and do that all over again. 3000 years have made me do those things. Today or tomorrow, I'll return back to those actions which I used to do."
"That won't happen. Rheya was the cause of it all and she's dead. She had no good left in her, you do. And, I promise you, I won't let that happen to you ever again.
Otherwise, my name isn't Adeeba Augustine."
Gaius laughed as he looked at her.
She laced her fingers with his.
He kissed the back of her hand.
"Don't be. Now, let's go and sleep.
We've a long journey to cover tomorrow night. I mean tonight, but after the day."
They laughed as they went back to the bed.
No matter how much they fought or how bad things got, they always had each other.
They never left each other for anything.
Their love always brought them together stronger every time.
They always had each other's back.
And, they wouldn't trade all of this for anything.
