Ares's POV;

I walked out of the alleyway, leaving the pathetic human body there. One look inside and you'd know that they were dead, and yet they probably won't be found until tomorrow.

Wiping the blood off my face, I was going to dash away...when I saw her.

One look. One look is all it took for my legs to almost lose their strength.

I had found her, finally.

She was walking alone at night, and I followed her.

I accompanied her shadow on her way back, merging with the shadows.
And she turned around and searched the area, seeming like she could sense me...

She hadn't changed one bit, with those black doe eyes, cute button nose, wavy brunette hair and pink lips.
But most of all, the depth in those eyes...
I could be a poet, and yet not be able to describe it.

I once thought that I'd leave when I saw her safe and sound. But I'd much rather stay right here, outside her house, watching her through the window.

I lost her once, twice, multiple times.

I won't make the same mistake again.

This time, I won't hide my true self.
I will show her every twisted, wretched part.

You had asked me once what my morals were; If only you knew...
...that I didn't have any.
