Chapter 15

The next morning Samuel and I laid in bed, he was beyond exhausted from the transformation last night. I had a pounding headache from using my "gift", but I was more concerned about Samuel. He was currently laying on his right side, shirtless, giving me the complete view of his scar. It traveled up to his armpit and down to his hip. I winced at the sight of it, remembering his heart wrenching screams. What confused me is how Emerald noticed me. That wasn't her, sure it was her when she was younger, but not actually her. "Arabella.." I looked at Samuel, he was staring at me with pained eyes. Tears rolled down his cheeks, "You won't leave me, right?" He whimpered. I furrowed my brows, "No, why would I?" "B-because of my scar." "No, I'm not leaving because of some scar. It's not your fault." I said sternly. He nodded before bringing himself closer, he wrapped his arms around me and rested his head on my stomach. "I'm being pathetic." He sighed.
