Burning Sensation
"M_my what?" Anna couldn't stop herself from asking that question for the second time and her hands subconsciously felt the side of her neck.
Was he also tempted by her blood?
"Forget it….I shouldn't have said it." He threw his head back and closed his eyes, surprisingly looking unbothered and somewhat peaceful with himself for a change.
A reaction that left Anna blinking in disbelief.
"How can you possibly be fine with this when your health is at risk !" Anna couldn't believe his calm response towards his life, was he really less bothered about the fact he might die from this?
But she got no response from him and was taken aback by how lightly he handled the situation.
"Listen to me, isn't there another way?" She prompted, wanting him to take this seriously and to her relief, he suddenly looked thoughtful as his eyes fluttered open and she didn't fail to notice the tired look in his beautiful crimson eyes.
He was getting weaker.
