章 38: Dealing With The Orgades

(From Leandro's Perspective)

I was a bit away from my cave, listening to the footsteps intently. They thought that I did not know about their plan of trying to kill me tonight. But thanks to Ella's unbearable curiosity, she managed to know about the attack and told me about it.

Thinking about Ella without remembering her hurt face hurt. I should not have been like that to her. She just told me a single thing- trust me. But I was a fool to ask how could I trust her.

She thought that I had started to trust her, and she was not wrong. But I was too afraid to show it even though I wanted to.

She was worried about me, she wanted me to be safe. She had been saying so again and again, but all I did was hurt her. I felt like a true monster, even crueler than my monster was.
