Chapter 185: Bleeding Hearts

He dances and sings, then, he finishes up by taking a knee in front of me, so close that his lips are just a breath away from mine.

I feel a great pull toward him and…my fear grows to the extent I scream.

I scream and scream.

When I finally get the feeling in my limbs I bolt backwards, crashing into the grass whilst trying to put as much distance between me and him as possible.

"Luna, Luna." I hear Malcom and Celine's voices, but I'm unable to control myself.

This fear has me, it has burrowed deep within my soul that I have no control over myself.

I can't even look away from the campfire.

As I fear he will appear again.

I just keep crumbling backwards, until I feel a hand on me, on my left shoulder.

When I turn, I find Celine, trying to hold onto me, trying to hold me in place, but like a wild animal I push and crumble over myself.

She grips me, pulls me in and holds onto me tightly so I can't move anymore.
