Biting Fate

\"I...Love...You...always...\" Alysia with her final breath utters those words.

Luis, with a crumpled face and nonstop sobbing, holds Alysia\'s dead body in his tender embrace.

\"I\'m sorry...I am a monster...\" Luis mumbles those words over and over again. He can\'t get over the fact that he can\'t control his bloodthirst. Causing him to drink Alysia\'s blood which drained Alysia\'s life away.

Even after knowing Alysia must have fought desperately to get to him and save him, ultimately the one who took her life was none other than him. He, Luis Nocturne, the one she cherishes the most, the one she protected with her life in the line, is the one who took her life.

If only he was stronger, if only he wasn\'t a monster, if only...

Those are Luis\'s thoughts as he sets Alysia down on the altar and sets her body aflame.

As he watches her body turn to ashes, Luis with grim resolve,

“Never again will I drink blood, that I promise.” He pledges.

And yet,

A slight touch, a familiar scent, and dark blue eyes made a promise, broken.
