"I'm a monster, Nala. I'll only hurt you",he said, looking into her innocent doe eyes. It took everything in him not to rush to her, grab her and kiss her soft lips senselessly. He wanted so bad to feel her near him but he had to tread carefully. He was dangerous and he knew this. "You'll only end up broken if you get in too deep with me, so go",he said without looking at her this time. "But... ",she tried to protest but before she could complete her sentence, he showed her a side of his that she always dreaded to see. "GO!!! ",he roared at her and watched as she scurried out through the huge door in fear of him. As she left, he felt the little hope of happiness seep out through his heart slowly. In a world where love is not an option and can never exist, a colonial master and a slave manage to discover love in their own beautiful way.
