Anna's POV
All I could see was blood. There was blood everywhere and only blood. Also, I saw the man holding the knife to my throat and blood gushing out from his head.
I looked in front of me and all I saw was Blaze standing there, pointing a gun towards me.
My heart was in pain. My breathing slowly stopped as the entire world faded out. No, I wanted to stay awake. What if I fall and that man cuts my throat?
"No, please. Don't faint," I mumbled to myself. I tried to cry and scream, but it seemed I lost my voice. No sound came. I prayed silently for someone to save me and all I saw was a shadow running towards me.
Before I could ask who it was, my vision darkened. I jumped up from my senseless dreams.
I sweated too much, and my breathing was abnormally fast. I opened my mouth widely to take a long breath.
I looked around and saw that I was lying in our bedroom. I checked my surroundings and then my body. I was wearing a new set of clothes.
Then I remembered the blood that had splattered on my face.
I jumped off the bed and ran to the dresser to check my whole face. There was no blood on my face. Was I dreaming?
I removed my hair from my neck and then I saw the wound on my neck. It was a light cut, but the wound proved that I was not dreaming.
I touched the wound on my neck, and I understood someone had cleared up the wound and applied the required ointment.
Subconsciously, I thought about everything that happened to me, and the reality shocked me out of my wits.
"Oh God, oh God." My heart almost jumped out of my chest, and I was in pain when I tried to remember what I saw.
First, these men and then, my own man killed someone in front of me.
"No, no, no. This can't be true." I splashed some water on my face.
Anna, wake up. You're dreaming. Please wake up, I told myself. I didn't want to remember this side of him. Then why?
It was so scary for me to even think about it. Why?
I still failed to believe that a young boy turned into a murderer. Why? Where was my innocent and playful Blaze? Why did he become like this?
My mind was full of questions and pain, yet I found no answer yet. Now I wanted to see him.
Where was he?
I walked back to the bedroom and ran to the door. I tried to open the door, but I found the door locked from outside, much to my shock.
"Are you going to leave me?" I suddenly asked - an invisible strength gripped my heart tightly as if I wanted to crush my heart. I have never felt as much pain as I was feeling at that moment.
"Answer me, Blaze." She didn't answer me, and she didn't refuse either.
"Damn it, Love. Answer me. Are you going to leave me?" I lost my sanity. Why didn't she refuse? Why didn't she tell me that she wouldn't leave me?
I took a few steps towards her and grabbed her waist. This time, to my surprise, she didn't struggle nor refused my touch.
My heart calmed down a little. I leaned over and rubbed my forehead against her. "Love don't leave me, please. Without you, I will die," I was begging her. I knew I was a selfish freak, but what could I do? Without Anna, there would be no Blaze.
"I'm not leaving you, Blaze. Just God damn answer me. I want a straightforward answer with no hidden secret." Her voice seemed to calm down a lot and her changing tone gave me strength.
"Okay, I will give you anything you want, as long as you stay beside me. Just promise me, you will not leave me." I looked straight into her eyes.
She nodded without hesitation. Her answer embarrassed me. Did I deserve her love? She easily agreed to stay behind, and I used every means to keep her with me. But my selfish heart said that we deserved her more than anything.
"They were here to hurt you because they wanted to hurt me," I said calmly. "Why?" She looked at my face and her eyes were showing such a good deal of confusion.
"Because I'm their enemy."
"And what did you do to become their enemy?" She finally asked what I feared the most. I never felt so helpless at that moment. Either way, I had to answer her. So, I closed my eyes. I didn't have the guts to look into her eyes and lie to her.
