When I woke up, I had woken up from a bad dream. I look to the side of me and seen Adrian lying on his back with his right arm laying across his eyes. I look down and the blanket was just barely covering his member.

He looked absolutely perfect. With the light from the fire shining over his skin. I move onto my side and begin tracing his scars ever so lightly, careful as to not wake him up.

He suddenly moves his arm to look at me. “I’m sorry for waking you up-” We both say at the same time before coming to a stop. We then give each other a confused look.

“You... Haven’t moved an inch since I woke up... You didn’t wake me.” I explain confusedly. “I just laid back down before you decided to trace my scars. I figured I had woken you on accident.” I probably looked more confused than ever, as he started to giggle. “I had to use the bathroom dearie.”

“Ooh... No, you didn’t wake me. I just happened to wake up from a bad dream.” He turns to his side as he carefully moves me into him. He has his arm underneath my head and covers us back up before he begins to caress my cheek with his free hand.

“I’m sorry, my love. Would you like to tell me what it was about?” He asks gently. “It was about what had happened yesterday... Only except I wasn’t able to save you.” I answer quietly. He wipes away a stray tear that I hadn’t even known had escaped.

“I’m right here, baby. You were able to save me. And I am beyond grateful for you.” He says soothingly. “But it would have been my fault if you died. It’s my fault for getting you put in the middle of all my problems-”

“And I would do it a thousand times over if it meant having you in my life. Amora, I have a sky full of feelings for you that astronomers ache to explore. I see you in a kaleidoscope of colours that I never knew existed before. I think the stars that we’re made up of were together when the universe was created... How else would you explain it?”

“The universe must be pretty horrible for making you wait so long to be happy.” I say softly, and he looks away. “Adrian?”

“I need to tell you something. Another truth, that I had lied about...” I bring my hand up to his cheek. “I promise I won’t get mad this time. It’s part of bettering myself, right?”

“The universe has been so harsh for what I had done to myself. You know what I had done. As you know I had passed judgement on the soul of Robin Hood and I sent Marie Antoinette to hell... I’m actually a lot older than I had told you.”

I continued to look into his eyes as he prepares to tell me the truth. “I’m actually more than 600 years old. Closer to 700 to be honest.” I begin to lightly stroke his cheek as I wait for him to look back at me.

Once he does, I give him a light smile before pulling him in for a loving kiss. When we pull away, he gives me a confused look. “I figured you were older than what you had lead on. At the time of Marie’s death, you would have only been like 5 years old or younger. That wouldn’t have been possible if you were 27 at the time of your death.”

“Amora-”

“Adrian, I don’t care if you’re 100 years old, 700 years old, or even 5,000 years old. I love you. I will always love you no matter what.”

“I know I’ve asked this many times before. But I would really like to know what the hell I’ve done to deserve someone as amazing as you.” He says before pulling me in for another kiss.

“I think I can tell you exactly how.” I say as I take hold of his hand. “And what’s that?” He smiles.

“You’ve gone all this time being punished. Unforgiving. And being hard on for what you have done. But even god knows that you can’t go through everything you have gone through, forever. Nobody can. And I just want to say you are the most strongest person there is for sticking around as long as you have. For pulling through everything you have gone through. You may not be completely forgiven, if at all. But you deserve love. To be loved... Maybe I’m not exactly the one meant for you... You had a soulmate before you did... That. I know you did. And you took that away from whoever she was. Took away her happiness and future. And possibly even a family.”

“Amora-”

“Call me crazy for this. But maybe... Just maybe... What if... I’m just a reincarnation of your soulmate? And you finally found her. Or more so, me? Maybe that’s why you’ve gone several hundreds of years... Alone. But now I am here. With you. Both of us madly in love with each other. Knowing we are soulmates. Knowing we are meant for each other...

Whatever the reason may be, all we know is that we are both completely happy. And so much in love.” I finish explaining as I lean over him as he lies on his back.

“Love, that is the craziest thing I have ever heard. And you know me to be pretty crazy.” He says as he giggles. “But you know what? It actually makes a little sense. And if that just so happens to be the case... Which that would be a pretty far fetch... But if that were really true, and you are a “reincarnation of my soulmate”... I would definitely owe an immense apology. I would be incredibly sorry for doing that to you. Taking away your future back then.”

“All that matters is that we are together now. We will be getting married-”

“And I will find a way for us to have our own family together.”

“Only if that is something you really want.”

“It is something that I want.”

“Alright then.” I smile. “We should get more sleep, baby. How are you feeling anyway?” He asks, and I remembered about the drinking. “I’m feeling just fine, thanks. I love you.”

“I love you too.” I lay back down beside him, and he holds me into his side. I lay my head onto his chest and I eventually fall back asleep.









I woke up to soft kisses being placed on my back and behind my shoulder. I slowly turn to find Adrian looking down at me lovingly. “Good morning, sunshine. How are you feeling?” He asks before giving me a gentle kiss.

“Pretty wonderful waking up to such a gorgeous face as yours.” I answered, making him smile. “You took the words right out of my mouth, baby.” He says as he gives me another kiss.

“What are we doing up so early in the morning for?” I questioned as I stretch out my body. “I wanted to let you know I’ll be leaving soon.” He answers quietly. “Leaving? Why, do you have to? I don’t want you to go-”

“I’m sorry, baby. But I have work to do, and I have to work with that doctor soon.”

“Can’t it wait? Adrian, I’ve missed you so much, we didn’t get to spend much time together-”

“You know I will gladly come back if you want me to. But it was your idea doing this-”

“I know but I didn’t realize it would be quite so hard!” I was starting to break down, and I couldn’t understand why. I shouldn’t even be acting like this.

“How about we make a deal. If you would like, I will come and stay with you every weekend, and you’ll still get your time alone to work on yourself, and I will do the same. It’s already Thursday, all you have to do is make it through the rest of today, and tomorrow night we’ll get to see each other again. Does that sound okay?”

“Yes... Okay.” I answer quietly. “That’s my girl. I’m going to get ready now, alright?” I slowly nod my head, and he gets up to get dressed. As he does, I slowly crawl out of the bed and head into the bathroom.

I walk over to the sink, turn on the cold water and begin rinsing off my face. I turn off the water and grab a towel to dry off. As I look up into the mirror, he wraps his arms around me and looks at me in the mirror.

“You are so beautiful, Amora. Sometimes I have to stop and think how such a gorgeous creature could ever find me so attractive.” He says as he lays his chin onto my shoulder.

“How could I not?! Even Luna has been drooling over you ever since she saw your whole face!” I tease and we both laugh. “I have a lot of flaws, my dear. All the countless scars I have all over me. It’s quite... Embarrassing for me. I’m not proud of them. If I can be completely honest? I felt even more insecure when you decided to trace my scars.” He adds quietly.

I turn around in his arms and wrap mine around his neck as I look deep into his eyes. “Adrian, you are more than perfect to me. I don’t have any negative feelings about any of your scars. They make who you are. You want my honest opinion?” I ask, and I notice him swallowing his emotions.

I smile even more as I look through his gorgeous eyes. “I mean this in the absolute best way possible. I try to imagine what you would look like without your scars, and you know what? I don’t like it. I think you would look completely different, and even weird without them. I love them. And I love you. Your scars are who you are. I love who you are. Every single thing and inch about you. If anything, I’m self-conscious about mine. Even more so the one on my neck. I have only ever known you with the scars on your neck, face and finger. You have never known me with any scars. I received the one on my stomach over 6 years ago. And then the one on my neck very recently. I feel my “looks” have gone down after that. That maybe I’m not as attractive to you anymore after getting it-”

“Amora, that is so not true. I still think you are just as beautiful as you were when you came back again. Even more beautiful. Speaking of which, how have you been feeling with that? I’m sure you’ve been going through a lot of pain still?”

“I have, but I’ve been pushing through it. There isn’t anything I can do about it, so I do my best to ignore it the best way possible.”

“I’ll bring you more of the medicine later today, if not definitely tomorrow. I don’t want you having any pain. I love you too much.”

“And I love you just as much.” I say as I give him a kiss. “I better get going, love, before I’m late.”

“Are you sure you don’t want me to make you a quick breakfast?”

“That’s alright, sweetheart. I’ll be okay. I’ll see you soon enough, okay?”

“Alright. I love you.”

“I love you too. I’m missing you already.” With one more kiss, he makes his way out of my room and leaves.




Deciding to cook up some breakfast, I head into the bedroom to change, only to notice he had already put the mattress back onto the bed and cleaned up some. Well he got that done really fast!

I change into some pants and throw on a shirt and put on my locket he had made for me. I had put it on a chain and put it on as a necklace.
