"What?!" Camila sprung up with unbelief. Her heart was failing her and her knees were shaking, a tumor through her whole body it was. 
     "Calm down, love" 
     "No! Don't ask me to calm down. You're leaving tomorrow, and you're just telling me today, this night, just a few hours away. So you have been lying to me all these while, Logan?! Huh?!" She got angry and Logan stood up to hold her, but she dashed back. 
     "Don't… just don't" tears roamed freely inside her eyes and within l seconds, her cheeks had the same fluid trailing down. 
    Logan couldn't stand seeing her cry, it was unlike her, but he'd better accept the changes he had also effected. 
     He leaned closer, Camila shuddered backwards, but he held her hand. 
    "Please, let me" he took his hand to her face and wiped Away the tears with his fingers. "I will be back… I promise" 
     "You fucking had a plan…" she whimpered lightly. "You had a plan all these while" she repeated her own words as if trying to make something very meaningful about it. 
     "I couldn't just tell you, It was hard…" he sighed. "But if I knew that your reaction would be like this, I would have told you sooner. I'm sorry" 
    Camila loomed at him and chuckled. "Unbelievable! If you knew that my reaction would be this way? It might not mean so much to you, or not be long for you, but it means something to me, and this is the long I have ever gone with someone who I really connected with. Now you're saying that you didn't know that I love you?" The air had cooled down and the crickets and frogs had stopped their chatting, as if to hear and know how it will all go down. 
     But it was just so quiet that it was uncomfortable. Logan wasn't talking, but only stared at her. 
    "Say something" she muttered, tears had flowed down her cheeks and there was no stopping it. 
     "I- I…" Logan stammered. "I didn't know that—" 
    "Come on, say it! You didn't know that I love you?" She hit him on the chest and pushed him, again, and again, until he held her hands, one more time. 
    "I didn't say that…" Logan said in a light hearted and emotional tone. "Please let me take your pain away from you" 
    "Stop with your bullshit, okay! Just stop. Pain? Isn't that all we get from each other. Let me go…" she kept pulling herself away from him but Logan wasn't going to let go of her. "I said let me go!" 
     "I'm sorry that you feel this way, but you have to pull yourself together,we will get through this! I promise" Logan's voice outscored hers, and pierced through her head that she calmed down.
    "Well, it pains, it's painful Logan. I can't even believe I'm shedding tears… ." She said with a chuckle, a terrible one. "I feel like killing you" she tightened her face and looked into his eyes. 
    "I have no objection" he replied relently. 
    "Let me go…" this time it sounded more like a warning. But Logan wouldn't leave her alone. 
    "Let me go, I say!" She surprisingly pulled herself off and hit Logan away. Her eyes flickered to a fierce dark sunish gold which changed back immediately. 
    Logan was amazed and afraid too, but so much so she wouldn't notice. She glanced at her hands, the rage she felt was immeasurable, but luckily, she didn't see any harm. 
    "I'm s— no you deserve so much more" 
    Logan chuckled. "It's okay." But he wished he could tell her that he was a man who really didn't know what and how their kind of love was like, but if anything, it was perculiar and powerful, the kind he would want to keep forever. 
     "You know what? I'm going to China with you" 
    "No no no no, you can't do that" Logan objected immediately. 
    "I love you, Logan, doesn't that mean something to you?" She asked in a frail voice, walking toward him. 
    "Yes, yes it does and that is more reason why I can't have you with me—" 
    "Why?" 
    "I don't doubt your abilities, trust me, but this is out of your league, I can't risk losing you. I'm going against whole organization of killers, trained killers, not the types you deal with—" 
    Camila chuckled. "Yeah, I deal with married men and losers, yes say it all to make me feel bad" 
    "That's not the point. These people are dangerous…" 
   "Then let me go with you! I will fight by your side" 
   "No, please. I'm taking a huge risk myself. This is my fight. I have to do this for my clans. They are my family, and they need me" 
    Camila sighed. Dripped her shoulders like she was tired of everything. 
     "I'll be back for you, be rest assured…" 
     "When?" She asked. 
     "I can't say when" he said with a sigh.
     "You know what, it's whatever, I'm gonna have a break down from all these" 
    Logan could tell that it was so much on her that she could let out, she needed assurance, plenty of it. "Camila, do not worry. I promise to be back in no time. I—" he stopped and looked into her eyes so that she could see through her, he needed to be real as much as it sounded. 
     "I love you, and will always and forever will" 
    Camila smiled. "How you say forever, like we really have forever…" 
    "We do, really. Literally, practically, and otherwise" he smiled. 
   "Why is you hand like that?" Camila asked pointing at his arms, she enclosed the gap between them, concerned. 
    "What do you mean?" Logan asked, seemingly clueless. 
   "Why did you keep your arms like that? I have never seen you do that?
   His right hand was by his side, but wasn't relaxed, and he wrapped his left had around his elbow. 
    "Oh, it's sort of a thing…" he said with a chuckle. 
   "A thing?" Camila's eyes was glued at it, like she was sensing something, then she removed his left hand; Logan winced in pain. 
    "Oh my god! What's that?!" 
    There was a really deep cuts on his arm, like he had been attacked by a sharp clawed animal, and whatever the animal had done to him, it was spreading…
    "The wound, it's spreading?" Camila gulped. 
    Logan glanced at his arm and the expression on his face showed that he was well aware of it. 
    "I did that?" She stammered. What even made her think that she did that?
    "Yes" Logan replied.
    "Oh my God…" her eyes widened in disbelief. "How come? How? What did I use to do that? Why?! Why isn't it healing?" 
    "Because you were really angry, and you were hurt, the rage was so much because of it, and because you are a vampire, and it wouldn't heal, because it's poison, from your claws"
