Chapter 10: The Mourning Wolf

(Y/n)'s pov

I am a cursed, is what keep thinking to myself. I was in my den laying on the ground. Two days had passed, without having food nor water. I kept replaying on my mind the scene of that night, over and over again. I look at my hands and even though they are clean, all I see is blood.

Flashback

Thunder rumble in the clouds, and rain started pouring hard. I was on my knees cover with blood, holding Sheele in my arms. The group of Night raid was around me. I could tell, by their heartbeats, the grief and sadness they're feeling. I could also hear Sheele's heart beating faintly. I didn't wanted to admit it, but deep down I knew that her time is almost up. She slowly open her purple eyes. She look into my eyes and I look into hers. She didn't look at me with hatred, or disappointment, but she look at me with compassion, and forgiveness. My heart was sank to my stomach, and I could feel my tears streaming down my face with the rain. She raises her hand and cupped on my cheek, wiping the tears.

Sheele: "Please... smile more often. You look good with a smile."

She closed her eyes, and her heartbeat stopped. Her hand went limp and fell on her stomach. From the soul, I howl loudly, so that it could be heard throughout the land. Everyone started crying. Mine and Tatsumi cried the hardest. I kept on howling until the rain stopped falling.

Present

I feel nothing, but sorrow. I heard footsteps approaching. By the way they sound, I can tell that is Leone.

Leone: "Hello? It's me again. Just checking on you as always."

Leone's pov

I came to check on him again, with his lunch in hand. My heart starts aching every time I see him like this. I spotted the plate I left him for breakfast on the small wooden table. It was still there untouched. I place down the other plate I brought for lunch, and took the other one. I look back (Y/n), seeing he hasn't move an inch. I sigh silently, losing a bit of hope of helping him get better.

Leone: "Ok then, I'm gonna go."

As I was about to step out, I felt a fuzzy hand grab mine with a tight grip. I look behind to see (Y/n) holding my hand. He looked like if he hadn't slept much.

(Y/n): "Stay for awhile."

He said nothing else. I thought of what I should, and decided to stay. I sat down next to him, while he went to get some things. He came back with some stones, and a bit of wood. He place the wood on a small fire Pit, and started hitting the stones together. Sparks appear, and it started burning the wood.

Leone: "Why are you making fire? It's not even nighttime."

He didn't say anything. He just got up and went to the cave entrance. Out of nowhere, he pull on a string and some curtains of fur and leather came down, blocking the sun. He sits back in his place next to me. All he does is just stare into the fire. I stare at it as well, but I sometimes take a few glances at (Y/n). Staring into his (e/c) beast-like eyes. Focusing on the fire. He suddenly lean his head against my shoulder. My heart felt like it was about to burst out my chest.

Leone: "(Y/n)?"
(Y/n): "Is it ok if... I cry?"

I didn't expected him to ask that.

Leone: "Sure."

After a few seconds, I could hear him whimpering a bit, and felt a few tears on my arm. I was in shock by how he was. He is usually so confident, vicious, and strong. I never imagined that (Y/n) could be like this.

(Y/n): "You're probably thinking that I'm different from how I'm usually am."
Leone: "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't."
(Y/n): "There are three reasons for why I act so violent most of the time. One is because I lived in the forest alone for awhile, then I was raised in the military. The second reason is because of my imperial arms."
Leone: "And... the third?"
(Y/n): "So no one can see the pain I'm feeling inside, and use it against me."
Leone: "Well... I wouldn't do anything to hurt you."
(Y/n): "Ironic."
Leone: "What?"
(Y/n): "When we first met, we started fighting right away. Honestly, even though you weren't that much of an obstacle, I had fun fighting."

That last bit sting, so I pinch his cheek. He wince in pain, and place his hand on it.

(Y/n): "Hehehehe, sorry."
Leone: "I bet I can beat you, now that I fought your Wolf form."
(Y/n): "Not a chance."

We started playfully laughing together. This was the first time we are able to talk like this. I suddenly felt a warm, soft touch on my cheek. I glance to the side and see (Y/n) kissing my cheek. I blush a dark red. He stopped and rested his head again on my shoulder.

Leone: Why am I so nervous around him?!

He suddenly got up and head towards his bed. He laid down, facing me.

(Y/n): "I'm feeling better now. You can go if you want. And... thanks for taking care of me."
Leone: "No problem."
(Y/n): "I'll eat the food, once I wake up again."
Leone: "Promise?
(Y/n): "Promise."

I stand up and head towards the entrance. I stopped for a second to take one last look at (Y/n).

Leone: It looks like he's going to be himself again. Thank goodness.

I exit the cave/den, and head to my room with a big smile across my face.

(Y/n)'s pov

I waited till her footsteps were faint, and gone. Then I got up, and gather some clothes, the food Leone left me, and money I stole, and store them in a bag. I grab a chalk and wrote something to let them know I have left. I put out the fire, and headed out.
Before disappearing into the woods, I look back, once more, at the huge fortress in the mountain.

Me: "I'll come back, and when I do, I promise to protect you all."
