Tears of Vengeance

Nightmares

Walking back to Luke's ward with his food,my heart felt heavier.I opened the door and saw him sleeping like a vulnerable child.It made me smile.He opened his eyes as he saw me.He sat up and I sat beside him to feed him.

"Why do you look so pale?" He asked.I couldn't sleep in the past two days.

"No reason.How about you eat?" I asked as I forwarded a spoon towards his mouth.He opened his mouth and chewed onto the food.

I gave him the food and sat on the bed as I watched him eat from a good distance.

He put his hand on my cheek as it trailed down to my neck.He rubbed my jaw with his thumb.I shivered upon his touch.

"I was thinking about... sending you back to America...for good." He said.My heart stopped beating.

"What?" I gasped.In the beginning,I wanted to go back to America but now?Tears welled up my eyes.I looked down to avoid his eyes.

I continued to feed him.It was so hard to suppress my desires,my tears and my cries.I bit my lips to suppress them.

"Lucia..." He spoke again but this time,his voice felt irritating.I hated it.

"Lucia." He shook my arm.

"What?!" I asked loudly and angrily as I frowned.

"Don't you want to go?" He asked.I suppressed my emotions.He wanted to send me back.

"Do you want to go?" He asked.His voice echoed around the room.I began to hear a beep sound in my ear.I covered my ears and screamed,"I don't want to GO!"

Sweaty and exhausted I woke up and saw Luke holding me.It was just a dream.

"What happened?" He asked with a hint of worry lacing in his tone.The worry for me in his eyes was beautiful.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked angrily,"Why did you get off the bed?"

I helped him lay down on the bed and called a doctor to put on his IV again.

"You were shaking and crying.I couldn't just sit there and watch you or could I?" He frowned.

"Yeah,you could." I replied.

"What happened?" He asked again.

"It was just a dream." I whispered and closed my eyes.Due to lack of sleep,I started having nightmares.

By that time,the doctor was done and he warned Luke to not do anything such again.

I sat beside him and looked at him.

"How about you go home and take rest?" He asked.

"Who will be there with you?" I asked.

"There are lots of people to be around me." He said.He only said it to convince me to go home.

"Yet no one to care for you." I bit my lips and looked at him.He sighed and went silent.

"I deserve this.I am not a good human being." He said so sweetly.The way he used to kill and beat people.Nothing like that person.

"You don't have to be like this.You can change." I said.

"No,I can't." He smiled.I narrowed down my eyes.
