Chapter 80: Paranoia

"Do you know what time is it? Is letting people sleep too much to ask?" 

Aries scratched her head, vision adjusting to the lack of light. She gazed at Abel, who stood motionless by the door. She left the palace but snuck back after realizing something. However, when she returned, no one was already in this place. Not that she didn't see that coming. 

She planned to rest for tonight and fix things tomorrow. So while planning for her conditions, she fell asleep... only to wake up by Abel's yelling. But his voice... didn't sound angry. 

He was searching for her... desperately. Like a man who was slowly losing his mind, looking for someone whom he already knew left. 

"Abel." She breathed out once her vision adjusted in the dark. "What are you...?"

Aries trailed off as her eyes fell on the spot he was standing on. Something was dripping from his fingertips and even without seeing its color, she knew it was blood.
