Chapter 466 - [Bonus ] 466

Alex watched the scene unfold before him as it was a part of some kind of horror play. The darkness that overtook everything, the sounds and the blood. Just three people could make such horrible noises while they were dying. Theseus appeared first, grabbing the man that had him pinned to the ground by his back and throwing him to a tree. He coughed and stood up with difficulty only to see a shadow, shaped like a sharp knife traveling towards him. In just a second he was dead, his head falling off his neck, landing on the ground like a ball and Alex felt his breakfast travel all the way up. 

Then another man appeared. Handsome with a wicked smile and bright red eyes. He grabbed one of the men, punching him. His fist though wasn't normal, it was surrounded by a black current leaving a huge burn mark on the man's face. He was down, unconscious but the elf crouched and placed his palm on his back. His body suddenly began to shake and smoke emitted from his skin, he had literally fried him up. 

The last demon tried to run away, not intending to fight them. Theseus didn't let go of him though, His shadows ran through the ground and grabbed him by his legs flipping him upside down, holding him in the air until the white haired man reached the terrified demon. He cried, begging for his life but all Theseus did was raise his arm and punch right through his chest, grabbing his black heart and throwing it to the ground before his shadows disappeared, letting the body land messily too. 

"I'm sorry but how the hell did you get caught by such small fries?" The unknown man asked and walked towards Mark. Alex heard him question that but he didn't pay attention to anything else. He could only see Theseus rush towards him, lando on the ground and in a hurry cut the ropes that hurt his wrists and ankles. 

"Are you alright?" he asked him. His voice shaking, his eyes anxiously scanning him. He took off his jacket, placing it over his exposed upper body and helped him wear it. His wrists had bruises and cuts but soon they faded. The white haired elf had noticed though, looking at them bitterly until they didn't exist anymore.

"I am fine. Thank you. You save me." Alex stated and Theseus shook his head. He exhaled relieved and before he had realized it he was hugging him. His face was buried on the crook of his neck, he could smell him. His scent was nice, relaxing and it felt like home. Alex felt his racing heart calm down, he wasn't scared anymore. 

"Please…" he heard Theseus say and for a second he believed the elf was crying. "I can't…I was so scared." he mumbled and tightened his embrace. "I miss you." he said. Alex once again felt bad, guilty and he moved into his embrace, hugging him back. His eyes were focused on the trees behind Theseus as he felt his heartbeat match his. It was fast, racing with worry. 

"I'm sorry." Alex mumbled, his voice almost sounding like a whisper. He felt like crying again. He made this man miserable. He made him feel sad and tormented him because he wasn't himself. His eyes were once more filled with tears, diamond teardrops escaping the green irises and landing on his shoulder. 

He closed them shut, trying to stop his crying as he heard Theseus talk. They were still hugging each other, the white haired man finding some sweet comfort on the comforting touch.

"Don't be sorry. None of this is your fault. You're great. You're doing great." Theseus told him and caressed the back of his head, his fingers delicately traveling through his hair. Alex couldn't help but smile faintly. He hadn't liked him at first, he had seemed pushy and aggressive but the truth was he was kind, he was gentle and in pain. Hurting because of him and the fact that he couldn't do anything to fix it hurt Alex too. He opened his eyes again, removing himself slowly from his embrace so he could talk to him face to face when he caught something with the corner of his eye. Another demon, in the forest. He showed the shimmer of an arrow tip as it traveled through the air. 

"Watch out!" he shouted and pushed Theseus to the side, the arrow landing right on his right shoulder. He looked down, seeing the deadly weapon pierce his skin. It hurt, his skin was getting ripped, the bone was being attacked and the muscles were being torn. He hissed as the blood that surrounded his wound trailed a bloody path on his body. 

Theseus stood there, stupefied by what had just happened while the other man dealt with the demon. Alex looked at him, a smile forming on his face. He wasn't going to die but the man before him had turned pale, his face showing pure horror. 

"It's fine." he said and grabbed the arrow. Breaking it and leaving the tip only in. "I will be fine." he reassured him but Theseus didn't say anything. He couldn't really. Every single moment. The arrow, his words, his expression. Even if he didn't remember, if he didn't know who he was his actions still remained the same.

He would always be willing to sacrifice his life for Theseus. No matter what. Even if he was living another life, even if he had another name, or another story. Even if they woke up tomorrow being two complete strangers, the urge to protect him, it would never die. Hopeless and weak he would still use his body as a shield. 

Theseus was crying, his eyes glued on Alex as he parted his lips, taking a small breath before he spoke. His palm rested on Alex's cheek, surprising him but he didn't push him away. His reaction was too much for him to reject him like that. 

"I love you." Theseus told him but he didn't look happy. He wore a mourning expression. As if he believed his love was pointless. "I love you so much it hurts. You might not know me, you might never remember me but this…this has happened again so please, no matter what you feel about me don't you ever put yourself in danger for me. If ever anything happens to you…I will die." Theseus said and Alex gasped. Electrocuted by Theseus' words. 

"Don't say that!" He shouted
