beast and his master

Chapter Five: Leo

I pushed my hair out of my face as I turned to face her. I needed to look her right in the eyes as I spoke. "You don't know me sol...you don't know what I've done what I've gone through. You can't believe in me." I paused. "I lost everything for loving, for getting close." I looked down at her and her face revealed no emotion.

Then she spoke. "I lost a lot of people to Leo, getting close in a warrior clan is dangerous. That will not stop me though." She said. This girl barely knew me yet she had so much faith in wanting to befriend and love that which could not love back. "You are not me sol you and small, and young...I've lived with what I am for so long there is no hope." I said to her as I reached for my bedroom doorknob. I slipped inside and shut the door on her fave before she could say anything else.

Behind my closed door I slid down onto the floor and hugged my knees. Why was she even here, What is she doing to me? What am I meant to do with her? She is much like my master. She never left my side and when we first met she confessed to loving me. People can't love not on the first day but time went by and that love grew stronger.

I hit my head on the wall. I missed her greatly. I missed the way her hair felt on my finger tips. The way She smelled of wild flowers. Her smooth yet scared skin. I was ready to face the world with her and she was with me. The bond was nearly complete all we had to do was exchange blood. All I saw was red then black. I was lost to the beast. She didn't want to fight back She feared she would hurt me, but it was I who hurt her. I awoke from the darkness to see her there laying beside me in a pool of blood.

Tears threatened to escape me I would not let them fall. I earned this, all the pain beacuse I truly am a monster I do not deserve to be loved.

"Leo?" Her voice echoed through the door. I growled and pulled at the chain around my neck. Why was she still here? "Please tell me what's wrong." She continued to speak. I stared at the knob of the door And looked down at the locket my master had given me. What am I going to do with her? I asked the locket as if would answer ,as if she would some how give me words of advice from a picture. "Leo... please talk to me." Sol's voice was now there tight against the door. She must have been listening in. "Would you just go away." I said bluntly through the door.

Was this a door meant to be opened to her? Was this annoying girl meant for me? How could something so small and weak tame me would she even want to? Am I ready to open this door, do I want to?
