Sophia's POV

I held on to Abel and squeezed him tightly.

"Oh...baby..." I panted. "I love you."

I pulled away from him.

I cupped his face and looked at him.

"I love you." I said.

He rubbed the back of my head and loved me in my eyes.

He just rubbed my head.

I caught my breath and frowned at him.

"Baby?"

He continued to stare at me and his hand moved lower to my neck.

"Abe- Ahh!"

His hand squeezed the back of my neck.

"You're just...as beautiful as I remember..." his voice was raspy and deeper than before.

I stared at him in confusion.

"B-baby? Mi caro, are you okay? Are you o..."

Then...I understood...

The eyes...

The voice...

"N-no! No!"

I pushed myself off of him and fell backwards into the grass.

I quickly fixed my clothes and ran.

"Sophia!! Where are you running to? Huh? You can't run from me! I have to finish what I started!"

I kept on running even though I really didn't know where I was.

I had to. I had to because I knew, just who was chasing me.

I suddenly felt a hand on my arm and myself being turned around.

I looked at him.

"Hey! Hey what's the matter?"

"You...y-you-"

"Why were you running?"

I hugged him tightly and cried on his shoulder.

"Sophie baby, What's the matter? Did you see something out here? Someone? What's wrong?"

I pulled away from him and wiped my face.

"Where is the fucking therapist? Wh-wh where the fucking fuck is the therapist!"

"Sophia!"

He grabbed my hands and pulled me to him.

"Sophia! I told you we're not supposed to have gone this far, now tell me what the fuck happened."

"Who...are you?"

"Sophia?"

"No I know who I am, I asked you who you were!"

"I'm Abel!"

"Lie again! LIE TO ME AGAIN, CAIN!"

"I am not Cain!"

"WHO ARE YOU?!" I shook with rage as I stood there in the cold.

He shook his head at me.

"It's me."

I looked at him and studied his expression.

The lines in his face, and the disappointment that it showed.
