Part 4

-Your POV-
"Why don't you love me, (your name)?" You backed into the wall and frantically shook your head.

"Calixto, please don't-"

"But it's the only way." You gasped and sat up abruptly, trembling. You climbed out of bed, shivering from both the cold of the night and the dream. There was a bad feeling that you just couldn't get rid of, so you walked down the hall and opened the door to Luciano's room.

"L-Luciano?" You heard a yawn.

"Hmmm?"

"Can-can I sleep with you tonight? I'm sorry, I just-"

"No, no, it's fine. Come here." You gratefully walked over to his bed and slipped under the covers, snuggling up to him. He wrapped an arm around you and pulled you closer to him, kissing your forehead. Feeling safe, you fell asleep in his arms.

-Unknown POV-
A maniacal laugh fought its way to my throat as I walked closer to my goal, closer to her. I looked at the infinite sky, inhaling the scent of my last night that was tainted with loss.

The Next Morning
-Your POV-
You slowly opened your eyes. You blinked. This wasn't your room! The memories of asking to sleep with Luciano came rushing back and you looked to the left to see a pair of glowing magenta eyes staring at you. It was at that moment you realized he was shirtless.

"Tu sei quel ansiosi di dormire con me?" You rolled your eyes and scooted away, only to have Luciano's arms wrap around you and pull you back to him.

"I just had a nightmare, okay?" He stiffened slightly.

"What was it about?" You sighed and turned back towards him, looking into his eyes.

"It was about Calixto. H-he-"

"Don't worry. I'll protect you. If you're really that nervous, I can start to train you."

"Thank, Luciano. I love you."

"Ti amo anch'io." You kissed him and then sat up.

"I'm going to make breakfast now." He gave you a look. You rolled your eyes and walked back down the hall to your room.

After getting changed, you went downstairs. The smell of pasta sauce was being emitted from the kitchen. There was a plate of pasta on the dining that you guessed was for you.

"Really? Pasta for breakfast?"

"Si." Luciano sat down, carrying another plate of pasta and setting it down on the table. You rolled your eyes and sat down next to him.

"How disgusting." It was the voice. The very voice that came to you in nightmares, haunting you.

"C-Calixto?"

"Che cazzo ci fai qui?"

"I'm sorry. I don't speak gibberish." Luciano growled and stood up, stepping in front of you protectively. Almost instantly, Calixto took out a pistol and fired at him. The bullet left a hole in the wall.

"Damn. My aim really isn't that-" A knife flew towards Calixto. He ducked, and it created a cut on his cheek.

"Run!" You attempted to sprint out of the room, but a gunshot was heard and a lamp in front of you shattered.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Luciano cursed and shoved you under the table. Suddenly, a plate was smashed over his head, knocking him unconscious. Calixto leered at you from behind his body.

"Come with me, my dear. I can make you happier than you'll ever be if you're with him." You shook your head fearfully and tried to crawl away from him, but he grabbed your arm roughly. You screamed and took one of Luciano's knives, pointing towards him with your hand trembling. He sighed and took out his own.

"It would really be easier if you-" You slashed at his chest with the knife. He growled and a sinister look came into his eyes.

"I will kill you." Your eyes widened.

"Why?"

"It's the only way to make sure no one else fall in love with you. Why else?" You took a deep breath and summoned all of your courage. You looked at Luciano and kissed his forehead.

"I'll protect you, like you did for me," You hissed to Luciano's unconscious body, your eyes blazing. You wished that this could have a fairytale ending, that when he woke up, you would have saved the day. Slowly, you crawled out from underneath the table. You grimaced and glanced back at his body. That had happened because of you. He had been defending you, and you were going to repay that, with every last breath, every last drop of blood, every last ounce of energy. You let the anger course through your veins, giving you strength, and you turned towards the enemy, the one that had caused so much pain.

"Ah, what a pathetic attempt to help. It's just like in that story. The brave princess decides to stand up for herself, saving her the valiant knight, or prince. But alas, all good things must come to an end." He turned and looked at you, a maniacal grin on his face. "Including you, my dear, sweet (your name)." Calixto cackled and threw his bloody knife. You dodged to the right, causing him to grin, his dark blue eyes flashing.

"Now now, (your name). It's really better if you calm down and let me talk to you. Really, it's a shame. You had such great potential, and a fiery spirit! All could have ended well for you. If only he loved you." You backed away and shook your head quickly.

"N-no. I won't believe anything you say. You're a liar."

"But you already believe me. In that pretty little mind of yours, you've already accepted that you're only a burden to him. The one you call your lover is incapable of loving anyone, especially a weakling like you. If you had stayed with me, you would be happy!." Your hands shook and you dropped the knife. Why were you even doing this?

"No..."

"And furthermore, remember how your mother left you?" You shook your head, backing into the wall and sinking to your knees. "She left you on the streets because you were worthless. But now, I will make it so no one will ever have any feelings for you again." You took a deep breath. You weren't going to believe him. So what if Luciano didn't love you? You loved him. You picked up the knife and lunged towards Calixto, desperation driving you. He sidestepped and cut you in the side with one of his knives. You gasped and held your hand to it, blood soaking your hand. It was a deep cut. You inhaled sharply and tried over and over to get to him, trying to hold out until Luciano woke up, but it wasn't enough. At last, his weapon pierced your heart and stomach, causing you to choke on your own blood. Your body fell to the floor and your life flashed before your eyes.

"M-mom? Why-"
