40 Luke Eliott Walker 2 (1/2)

I found myself surrounded by darkness. It was so cold.

That's right, I remembered jumping down the waterfall with Violet in my arms. I died saving her... Wait, does she even know how to swim?

Sigh. And here I was, trying to be heroic for her, if she ended up dying because of my failure, I bet Charles would summon my spirit and kill me again.

”Luke...”

Huh? Who's calling me?

”Luke...”

I raised my head and saw a small light from a far. I stood up and started walking towards that light.

”Luke!”

It's Violet's voice... don't tell me that... she really died?

”Don't leave me, Luke!”

It's her!

”Violet!”

I started running towards the light where her voice was coming, the moment I touched it I started coughing out some water.

I opened my eyes and saw Violet's tearful gaze

”V... Violet?”

Am I dreaming?

”You can't just die on me, idiot!” She cried.

No, I'm not. I survived.

”Oh I have to heal your wound.!” she placed her hand on my wound and I started feeling something warm on that place.

Did she said heal?

I looked at her in surprise. Don't tell me that... she's a healer?

The pain from my shoulder disappeared, I tried moving my hand but I couldn't.

”I... can't move my body...” My voice was weak.

”Their potion might have taken effect already. We don't know how long it will be in effect but we need to hide in a safe place.” She said as she continued healing my other wounds.

So she's really a healer... It's a good thing that she's keeping this ability as secret... This is more the reason why I should not allow anyone to taint her.

She stood up and started looking around, I noticed that she was in her undergarments, exposing the fine white skin of her shoulders and knees.

I turned my head away, how can she be acting like nothing when she's only wearing her undergarments?

Knowing those bandits mentality, they would come down and check if we were both alive. If they saw Violet like this, they would try to violate her. Violet needs to run and hide before they come.

”Leave me.”

”No! Are you an idiot? I will not do that!”

”Can't you see how monstrous I've become? Aren't you scared of me?”

”If I was, I would have left you but I'm not! Monster or not, you're still the Luke I know. And besides, I already knew that you're a monster. Luke is a handsome monster, so why would I be afraid?”

I felt my lips curl up with what she said, what kind of reason was that? She's an idiot, right?

”Wait here, okay?”
