When Dawn Breaks // Nocturnals

Regret

The next morning Diego woke up.

He found the blonde boy next to him. Completely bloodied.

The events hit Diego like a truck. All the fear that he had subsided the night before came back.

He screamed.

Waking Ted up.

"Is something wrong?" Ted asked dazed.

"You're a murderer!" Diego cried. He didn't wanna grasp the idea he was foolish enough to sleep with a killer.

"I was stupid Jesus. You're gonna fucking kill me when you get the chance aren't you?!" Diego sequeled.

"Baby calm yourself down, I kill for you. Not for fun or anything else."

"You laughed like a fucking physco. When you found we you're eyes we're dead looking. You were gonna hurt me. You still have the same eyes now." Diego panicked brushing back.

"Oh sweet boy. Don't panic. Yes I'm physco but I use it for you. I didn't wanna hurt her. I was in a trance. It's military things like shell shock. I'll come out of it soon enough. It will take awhile and the guilt will finally come back but for now. I don't feel bad. She deserved to die." Ted said smiling sickly.

Diego couldn't help but feel bad for Ted. He knew what he did was fucked up but he knew he truly was trying to protect him.

"She had a dagger, she was planning on killing us. As soon as I knew it my instincts took over." Ted said.

"I had no clue she had a dagger." Diego said. He didn't know Maria would be so cold as to kill like that.

"She's dead now. I suggest you don't look outside until I clean it up." Ted said

"What do you mean clean up?" Diego asked a shiver going down his spine.

"I gutted her like an animal. Her intestines are all outside probably scattered if the tide crept in." Ted said smiling.

Diego honestly had never been so attracted and scared of someone at the same time. In his entire life.

"You wouldn't hurt me would you?" Diego asked unsure.

"Oh course not. I didn't wanna scar you with trauma or anything. I just knew I needed to get rid of her and she was gonna feel it."

Diego smiled. He felt extremely grateful for it in a fucked up way.

"It's okay. Don't worry about it." Diego smiled weakly.

"I know you were trying to save me." Diego smiled fully. He felt the guilt wash away. He felt better knowing she was dead and she couldn't terrorize him any longer.

"Oh baby I needed to save you. That bitch needed to fuck off." Teds face was kinda rigid.

"Yeah, I guess." Diego smiled and kinda laughed.

It was odd for Diego but he didn't feel bad right now. It must have made him feel better she actually had a plan to hurt them rather than Ted full faced killing her.
