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?"
I closed my eyes. She's surely like her father. Is she really not scared of me?
----
I rested my back against the wall after Violet dragged me to this cave, the cave behind a waterfall. I'm surprised that she was able to find a place like this.
Violet was sitting beside me, her head resting on my shoulder. The fire on her palm was our only source of light.
I was still in my original form, she was sticking this close to me and I couldn't help but feel something warm growing in my chest.
"Daddy will definitely come for us so don't worry, Luke."
I closed my eyes. Yes, Charles will definitely come for us but it might take days to find us. Once the numbness in my body disappears, finding a nearby town to stay will be the safest choice.
"Thank you.. for protecting me."
"I won't be able to face our father if I let anything happen to you. Besides, you're someone important to me." Yes, she's someone important for me and seeing how she accepted me being a monster made my feelings for her grow deeper. I like her... and if she continues treating me this way, I'm afraid that I will start loving her. I intended to keep being together with her. There's no way that I'll let her so-called fiance have her so easily.
I heard her giggle, "I'm your pretty little sister after all."
"Indeed." I smiled. If being her brother allows me to stay by her side, then I guess that's okay for now... I'll just have to make her fall for me and that's when I'll steal her from everyone.
"I'll always be by your side so you don't need to worry." Her words were like a light to me, warming my whole body, oh how I wish I can hug her right now.
I love her.
"Do you have a tail too?"
"..."
She's spoiling my mood right now.
"... We ogres don't have tail."
"Can you turn into a cute animal?"
She's teasing me, right?
"... I am not a fox demon."
She pouted as she stared at me, I can see the admiration from her eyes as she touched my horns with her free hand.
"You're really not afraid of a monster like me? I can attack you anytime and we love the blood of a young maiden."
"I thought only vampires drink blood? " she tilted her head, confused.
"We eat human flesh and drink their blood." I said as I stared into her eyes, trying to catch any signs of fear from her.
"Oh! Have you tried eating one? What do human taste like?"
She's really not afraid eh? I smiled. "I haven't tried one. Only my ancestors ate human. The modern ogres like me stopped hunting for humans a long time ago."
Actually, once reaching the Catastrophe level, Ogres would start to crave for human flesh and blood that's why none of the present ogres tried leveling up into a Catastrophe level since unlike our ancestors, we wanted to have a peaceful life, away from the human beings that can overpower us.
"I see. Anyway, Luke, even if you're an ogre or not, you're my family. I know human can be cruel and selfish but I will never betray you. That, I promise you." She raised my hand and wrapped her pinky finger around my finger.
I smiled. I vow to protect her and stay by her side no matter what, even if the world would go against her, I will not leave her side. I will give her everything that she deserves.
"Thank you." I wanted to give her a kiss right now. Sigh. When can I move my body?
Her gentle smile was touching my heart. "We should get some rest, okay? You need plenty of rest.Good night, Luke."
"Good night, Violet."
The flame on her palm faded away and once again, we were surrounded by darkness it was cold but feeling her arms wrapped around my body, feeling how warm her body was against mine made the cold night tolerable.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
