Hell And Back

Vincenzo's pov:

it's Monday tomorrow so i have to drive Orabella to school, we have time until tomorrow, i thought to myself while staring at the bedroom's ceiling still laying on the bed with sleeping beauty.

it's almost 5am when i woke up, to be honest this is the first time i slept this peacefully and deeply, it's properly the fact that i had an angel sleeping in my arms, or it's just that she really grew on me in one day.
when yesterday she asked me if i had anything or anyone to lose, i said no. but what is true tho? there's something about her that i have yet to figure out, a magnet that pulled me closer to her everytime i look at her.

what's this bullshit, did i suddenly become soft? i can't let her get under my skin, she's just a good looking human that i'm craving a taste of, vampirly and manly.

i'm probably just attracted to her beauty and just want to fuck her and kill her later.

no you're not just attracted to her physique, not just body and face, you might actually start liking her and your ego can't admit that.
my subconscious argued, i can't let myself like her or even worst love her, or let go of her before i know what is it about her that's pulling me towards her, it's so magnetic.
there's something special in her, i can see it in her aura.

pulling me out of my deep thoughts Orballa's terrified noises and fast heartbeats draw my attention, she was sweating and shaking, still sleeping she kept groaning and whining, i assume from terror looking at her sweaty shaky body.

"get away from me! ; stop please stop it hurts ; you.. you killed her. you did!"

i caught these words leaving her mouth, it was quite hard to catch onto them because of her cries and shaky voice.

when she didn't open her eyes i shook her shoulders "Orabella", opening her puffy glossy eyes she took a second to get back to reality
"hey it's okay, it's just a nightmare" i comforted her whilst hugging her closer to my body, with her fingers she traced circles on my naked chest and steadying her breathing, i brushed my hand in her hair and massaged her scalp, making her calm down into her natural state.

"wanna talk about it?" i carefully asked not wanting to make her tense up again.

faintly she replied "just memories of my childhood, i have them every night"

realising what those memories are "your father's abuse?"
she nodded,

careful with my words i softly said while still massaging her scalp "he's not here, he can't harm you anymore. don't worry about that, i promise you're safe with me"

"thank you" she lazily replied, her voice seemed like she's falling asleep again.

"go back to sleep i'm right here i promise.
no one's gonna hurt you".

she fell asleep soon after and my heart tightened at her adorablesness, she looked so peaceful and completely harmless, and i'll be damned if i let anyone touch her or harm her ever again.

over the course of my long life, i have never been the protector of someone, nor i ever imagined making someone feel safe around me, i always was the cause of terror and fear.
but now a certain girl has changed that, i felt like she feels safe with me, she's not afraid of me, maybe a bit when i first told her yesterday what i am but now her heartbeats are pretty steady when she's with me.

now about today, i wonder what will Sybil do when i don't show up where it all began, i think she means where i killed her, her revenge probably started in that place since that'sthe place she lost in. still i don't really care about that at all, i'm so over her i have no interest in her at all.
i never really loved her, i think i only liked her and i felt a bit hurt when i found out that she cheated on me because i was faithful.
