Fallen : kth ⋆ ✧

아홉 - 9

I stayed there, seconds turning into minutes, waiting. Waiting for what? Oh, that's right.
I was waiting for reality to kick in.

Had...he really....?
Did he...really?

I was left flabbergasted there, wide eyes.
My mother always warned me of stranger danger. Said I was always a bit too naive for my own good and that I needed to not trust some people too easily.

I mean, I wasn't, I swear I didn't. But, so why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why..?

Why...had I...trusted...Avrixíos just like that?

It was his good looks, I tried to convince myself. Wait no, the way he looked at me? Wait nevermind, Definitely not. He definitely always had a strange gleam in his eye. So, even then, even after noticing small things, why?

Why?

Why?

A moment of silence passed, In sudden realization I perked up a bit, my [e/c] eyes widening, glistening with disbelief. Letting out a small breathe a few moments passed till I came to realize, Oh, that's right , it was the way he seemed like a lost child.

I looked at Avrixíos not like he was danger but rather like he was a lost soul, almost seemingly like a lost, innocent child in the middle of nowhere. My fists balling up, i closed my eyes in anguish. I raised my hand to tap myself in my head, stupid stupid stupid! But, was I really a fool or was I simply just being friendly?

I mean, I definitely hadn't given him the wrong idea. That's right, I hadn't. So then, maybe he needed love? Well, that could definitely be a reason but, I wasn't the best choice then.
I only wanted to at least have fun here on this trip, not become some fallen angel's damn object of affections.

But I had to try, had to find a way to convince him to revoke whatever spell he put upon me. Make him realize what love really was, and maybe then, still continue to meet with him.

How tragic. Even after what he's done to me I feel the need to show him kindness. Because human or not, we all need kindness even after sinning, and especially when you're a lost soul.

After a long walk that took about half an hour, I stopped by a tree for a moment to catch my breath, man I need to exercise more, I bitterly thought. Hearing the sound of water flowing loudly I perked up, but..should I?

Deciding to give myself a small rest, I followed the sound to find a stream of water. I kneeled down to splash some water over my arms and face. I stared at scenery ahead of me, feeling a little less on edge.

"pretty", I whispered out loud with a small smile on my lips.

Before standing up I heard the sound of leaves crunching a few feet behind me, my eyes widened as my heart practically jumped out of my chest and my breath hitched while I stood up and turned around hastily.

My eyes met with..

Wait what? Huh? Nothing ?

My eyes widened, okay y/n keep calm it was probably just a squirrel or something. Looking around to make sure no one was watching me, I counted to three in my head before sprinting like my life was on the line, God knows it probably was.

After a few minutes, I saw the familiar campsite, thank the heavens! I released a long heavy breathe I'd been keeping in, glad to have made it safe and sound.

Looking around i noticed the sunset seemed to already have risen, noticing no one had noticed my absence I was relieved. I slowly and quietly walked to my designated tent, and although I was dirty from all the sweat, my mind had been too exhausted to cope with the stuff happening.

As soon as my head next to my best friend's on the floor, I fell into slumber, not knowing Avrixíos' phoenix form was eyeing my tent quietly.
