Chapter 72 : Do you know how long..

"Leave me, can't you see that I'm a monster?"

Adam grabbed the makeshift bars of the cage, searching frantically for a way in, "you're not a monster Ella.."

"I almost killed you!" Ella yelled, her arms wrapping around her legs tightly, "I couldn't control myself, when I sunk my teeth into your flesh I-" Ella pursed her trembling lips, she couldn't believe that feeding on another person had actually felt so satisfying. "I can't go on with you, I've already endangered your life once, I'm not going to let that happen again. Not to you, and not to anyone else."

"But I'm fine Ella, my life was never in danger," Adam responded, still shaking the cage trying to find a way in, he had the strong urge to hold her in his arms, to comfort her and tell her everything was alright. "Just open this cage so we can get going."

"No!" The redhead retaliated, "it's too dangerous, what if I get hungry again then what happens? I'm not putting your life at risk again!"
