My head throbbed with a pulsing headache from all the crying yesterday.

I couldn't stop my tears that were flowing once Dante told me about what he found in my apartment.

It was already late when one of his guys came and brought the file about the girl that was found slaughtered in the hallway. Gaia. And as if that's not enough when they got in her apartment they found another body, male, half-naked just as she was. Dead. The taxi driver from the nights ago.

Regret was suffocating me at the thought that it's my fault. I'm one to blame for their deaths.

'How could have I even thought that I could escape a monster like Leandro? That is impossible. And now innocent souls paid for my mistakes.'

Spilled tears drained my soul till the point that the world around me went black. Yet, even that blackness came to life with horrifying nightmares of Gaia's painful and loud screams.

My eyes snapped open the moment when Leandro's shiny knife, the same that he used on me, connected with her throat making blood splattered all over the room in which we were trapped.

Pulling my legs to my chest, seeking security I took a glance at the couch on the other side of the room from which were coming soft snores.

I frowned, blinking a sleep from my eyes, letting them get used to the dark room. The figure layed turned opposite of me, but the skull tattoo on his back betrayed him.

Dante.

My heart flutters for a second at his thoughtfulness. I keep pushing him away, but no matter how many times I pushed him away he would return and stay close. Just like now, even though I screamed at him to let me leave, let me run away, let me be alone, all for his sake - he stayed. Close enough to "protect" me and far enough to give me my space.

'God, like I'm describing a dog.' I thought in annoyance with myself.

Turning my head towards the window I stared at the night. Silently watching the sun rose on the once black sky letting the blue color surface.

Just stared.

No feeling.

No thoughts.

Looking at the darkness of the night that got graced with the light. Why my darkness can't get its light? My sun? My bright tomorrow?
