Was He Afraid?

============================

Katherine felt warmth spreading over her body. She tried to open her eyes but it felt like they were glued. No matter how much she tried, the eyes did not open at all.

"Since you have dared to be my first. You should take my responsibility. So wake up soon, I will be waiting to meet you again." she frowned when she heard the voice of a stranger in her mind.

But surprisingly she did not feel any kind of threat. She felt relaxed as if his voice was shooting her and she drifted to sleep again.

When she opened her eyes again, it was evening. The sky had turned darker with a shade of crimson.

She felt warmth and light weight on her waist and lowered her head to find two hands holding her waist from both sides.
