Chapter 107 - Feel again (2/2)

"What will you choose Celestia?" she asked as she too, has fallen asleep.

It was still dark when her eyes fluttered slowly, the weight on her lap is now gone! After adjusting her vision in the darkness, she managed to see the figure of a man.

"Adam" she said softly, the lights inside the helicopter is turned off but she noticed they were no longer flying. Also, her head has been leaning on the emperor's shoulder, leaving some drools on his luxurious suit.

Her face instantly went red upon feeling the wetness dripping from her mouth, good thing the lights were turned off.

"Good morning my lovely queen," his voice a little bit hoarse as he speaks.

'Will you still call me a queen if you realized my saliva is all on your suit hihihi' she can't help but feel giddy first thing after waking up.

Although now, Adam is less scary than the night before…

With him by her side made her feel so light, so happy more than when she's with Hannibal.

'Why is am I feeling this?' she asks herself, slightly getting teary eyed all of the sudden. She ignored everything up until now, but being naïve really doesn't suit her.

"Why are you silent?" the emperor curiously asked through the dark, all he can hear is light sniffles.

"I-I'm a bad person" she replied and Logan kept his mouth shut, urging Celestia to go on.

"My system screams from too much joy when I saw you the first time and even n-now, I'm glad you took me away from Hannibal"

Helen said everything truthfully, accepting her forbidden feelings, things that she shouldn't feel for a stranger yet she can't help it.

When Adam saved her from the group of men who are ogling at her, that's when her mind and heart started to go in chaos, her mind being the rational one, says that Hannibal is the person who's always been there for her while her heart who's easily swayed fought her mind by beating tremendously for a man she shouldn't fall in love with.

With Hannibal, all she felt was the need for his presence because he's the only one whom she knew in this place, in this world. Helen thought it was love…but then, this man comes out of nowhere and wreaks havoc in her perfectly supple world.

Adam is an inextinguishable fire, spreading flames all around her system, devouring her whole while Hannibal is a calm water, static and never changing.  Between fire and water, Helen would rather be burnt in the flames with him than live a life drowning on the same old routine.

"He was a good guy, that Hannibal" Logan said while breathing heavily, reminiscing the days when they were younger "And I'm a bad man Helen…" he admitted.

After seeing the two of them together, sure, Logan went livid but now that he can think, he decided to give her a choice, to stay or to leave.

"The woman, Helen, belongs to Hannibal…while Celestia, she's mine" he speaks warmly, gently, as if speaking to himself rather than the woman.

"If you want…you can stay as Helen all your days in this lifetime, I will not interfere anymore" he said although his heart is already squeezing from too much pain it's feeling.

'What a wonderful thing it is, to be able to feel again'

At that moment he realized the why so many people chose to be in love even when they knew it will hurt them…it's the pain that makes everything worth it, it's pain that makes one stronger.
