To Love A Villain

Take care of the mess

>>Amber

"What?" I blinked at him in confusion.

"I said, I can't," He replied

"What?" Shock overtook me, "Why? Hael, don't do this, we don't have much time! Please do something." I was fretting pretty badly.

"That's the thing." He said and then looked at the body on the ground, "He's already dead." He scratched his cheek with his index finger, "I never said I won't do it, I said, I can't, because I can't bring back the dead." He took to the ground, "No one can,"

A wave of shock and disbelief washed over me, leaving me numb with horror. My heart hammered in my chest, "No," I shook my head in disbelief. Guilt clawed at my conscience, its icy grip tightening with each passing moment, "No, it can't be," I hurried down by the body and placed my fingers on his neck, not caring that the blood that had pooled on the ground got on my dress. Not caring that I was getting my hands soiled in blood.

I frantically checked for a heartbeat, but there was none, "Oh no," Fear coursed through my veins like a venomous tide, flooding my mind with thoughts of the consequences, "He is dead," My eyes were wide in horror

A soft laughter escaped Serena's lips, "Finally," She whispered and I looked at her.

She had a deranged expression on her face, "Oh! Finally!" She was more than happy about the situation.

"Serena," I stood up from the ground, but my legs trembled. I almost fell back down when Hael caught me and helped me back up without a word.

"Let's leave," Serena said, "Someone else will discover the body. We'll be safe."

I shook my head at her, "We won't be-" I paused, "You might be, but not me. There's always a chance I'll get caught since it was my fault." The mere thought sent shivers down my spine, leaving me trembling with apprehension.

She didn't do it. Rather, her problem got solved while I dived into a mess.

Tears stung my eyes as the gravity of the situation settled over me like a suffocating blanket, "Oh God..."

I killed someone!!

"Then," Serena grabbed my shoulders, making me look at her, "Have him take care of it." She turned her head to look at Hael and I copied her action.

Hael had his hands on my waist. It was due to his support that I was standing.

"H-hael," I called his name with a shaky voice.

He leaned his face closer to mine, "Yes, My Lady?" His voice was soft.

"Hael, I," My mind went into a state of confusion.

"Yes," He had a subtle smile on his face, "What do you want?" He whispered, "I'll do whatever you ask of me."

Trembling with fear and desperation, I turned to him, my voice barely above a whisper. "Please," I begged, my words choked with emotion. "You have to help me. I can't... I don't know what to do."

Hael looked into my eyes, "You do," He said, "You have something in mind," He whispered, "Say it,"

I gulped, my body started shaking as a whole. And my mind went into further dismay. I never thought a day like this would come where I would kill someone. I glanced at the body. The blood from it was reaching my shoes.

!!!

I looked at Hael again, "Get rid of the body," Everything I said was out of fear,

"Anything else?" His eyes flickered with a mixture of amusement and satisfaction at my plea, a cruel smile tugging at the corners of his lips
