The Villainess Wants To Go Home

I listened to the soft rhythm of Demarcus breathing. He slept soundly with me curled beside his neck and gently stroking the top of his head as I watched the sun set, painting the horizon with varieties of warm colours.

I replayed the scene from this morning repeatedly in my mind. Those dark hollow eyes of the Tree Morte that reeked with death still sends me goosebumps just by thinking about it. The horrid sounds that it made when it left is going to haunt me for a while.

'They paralyse their prey with their modifying screams before they snatch them, snapping them in half and sucking their life force from their bodies' her words are stilling echoing in my ears.

As an assassin I have seen and done things that never sent chills down my spine just by thinking about it. I would excel without hesitation or fear in missions never fearing for my life as I knew I wouldn't die in a cheap way.

I was never afraid of anything in my entire life but after what happened in that white room and this morning, I don't think I could be more afraid then I was before. I don't want to know or see what other types of horrid creatures live inside these woods, lurking within the shadows ready to snatch any sudden intruder in their territory.

I want to leave this forest before I become some creatures next meal.

A soft grumbling purr came from Demarcus, and he had opened his beautiful emerald eyes that gazed up at me.

"You fear something." His voice was deep and calming, it made me relax a little, but the thought still hadn't erased itself yet. "What is there to fear?" I said.

"Your racing heart speaks it all when you cannot conjure to speak it"

I clutched the material near my heart and frowned. "I don't want to die again" I could my feel throat burn and the tears welling up in the corner of my eyes.

I clenched my hands tightly feeling my nails dig through my skin and the pain soaring through my core. I had a lump in my throat, and I was blinking away the tears. "I'm terrified of going through it again. The torment of agony, pain and regret all over again." My voice began to tremble, and a tear escaped its cage, prickling down my cheek.

"I don't want to be drag down by the hands of my victims down to hell or hear their screams of curses towards me" I could feel myself fall deeper and deeper in the depth of misery.

I placed my forehead on Demarcus and let all the emotions that was bolted deep within my heart and letting all come down as tears instead of words that I could not express.

For the first time in years, I felt so weak and terrified of dying, my years of training was to execute that fear and to face it head first but after everything that happened it's like all that training slipped through my fingers like butter and vanished right before my eyes.
