"What are you doing?" I asked when I felt her tugging my shirt from behind, hovering closer to me.
"Isn't it obvious? Hiding behind you!" She harshly whispered.
"Why didn't you just stay inside?" I asked as I stepped forward putting a distance between us.
"Tch. I want to watch." She scoffed crossing her arms across her chest. "And besides you're here so... I'm protected since your scent is stronger, she can barely smell me."
Curiosity filled me.
"What do you mean... scent?" Confusion is all over me.
"Yup! Every time she turned into her monster her eyes also change into blazing red, which made her blind because all she can see is anger and revenge... but she uses her other senses instead. Look," She pointed at the field covered with smoke "You can see nothing but for her... every man inside it, is clearer than the calm water."
Now, I'm getting to know more of her... monster.
"How can I help her? Can I... save her from her monster?" I asked looking at the vast of smoke.
"Hhmm... no. It's too late, with her capability, it can't be helped. Claire and the monster inside her are intertwined, they can never be separated." She stated.
After hearing it, I lost hope... I can't save my girl.
"But." My face light up.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Unless... she forgets the past. She might be saved." My heart beats fast.
Forgetting the past means... forgetting me. No, I can't lose her again.
I faced her "Any other way?" hoping there is one.
When I saw her shaking her head, I looked down in defeat.
Suddenly, I felt a drop of water fall on my arm, I looked up... it was already starting to rain.
I looked at the field to see the smoke slowly fading.
I suddenly stiffened the moment I saw the girl of my life... with eyes blazing in fire looking at me.
She's not wearing her mask, seems like it falls out of her while fighting with the enemies.
But, what scared me the most is a bunch of men lying on the ground... lifeless.
She started walking in my direction with her blazing eyes locked with mine but I... I was frozen on my spot.
At a distance in front of her is a man who seems to be awakened as he lifted his arm looking at my girl while trembling in fear.
But Claire saw him, she raised her silencer gun and pointed it at the man... when she got closer, she shot him right straight to the man's head, wearing no emotions at all.
My heart keeps beating louder in my chest... feeling mixed emotions that I can't even explain. I'm not used to this.
She looked at me once again as she continues walking.
"Seems like, I have something to do, Goodluck!" Zoey patted my shoulder and run disappearing from my sight.
"Fucking shit," I murmured cursing in harsh breath.
Why am I scared? No matter what and who she is... she's still the girl I love. The girl who completed this broken man.
The girl I'm going to spend my remaining life with, I don't care if I die as long as I'm with her.
This girl... this monster... they are one and she is the girl of my life.
I didn't realize that fear disappeared and my heart is covered with love instead, as she was getting closer.
I smile, taking a step closer to her "My monster." I said looking at her blazing eyes.
She cups my cheek "This monster has fallen... for you." Her voice was cold but I can still feel the love resides in it.
She leaned forward closer to me until our lips met. I closed my eyes and responded to her kisses. Then I hold her waist closing the small distance between us. The kiss was rough yet passionate I couldn't even explain, as we both feel the love that we have for each other.
She is my monster... who saved me many times from death and I could feel the bond that we are deeply connected.
I... I can't deny the fact that I have also fallen in love with her... monster.
She parted from the kiss and look at me this time her eyes... turned brown.
I smile once again "I love you."
"I love you too." And she smiles that warm my heart with love.
The rain and blood splattered around are the witness of our love. Love that will always connect us 'till death does as part.
I may not know the trials that await us but I love this girl and I will fight for her even if death is against me.

Someone's POV
Walking down in this tunnel I could hear the banging of walls, clutching of chains, and roars of a monster.
This place never changes. It is a hidden chamber of a deadly monster, never been discovered but this monster has always been here... imprisoned by his master.
Every step I take, the louder the noises I heard, also the faster my heartbeats. Even the strength I have is nothing compared to the strong aura emitted by the monster.
Strange... this aura... unbelievable. This is a thousand times stronger than the last time I came here.
Just when I reached the place, I was directed towards the cell and shocked by what I see.
Now, I understand. That's why the aura I sensed emitted an overwhelming power because the monster... is not alone.
There is a boy and a girl on the side, probably at my age sleeping in a capsule. Their aura... it was too dark. I can't deny the strength they acquire, they're strong.
I heard a roar and I looked at it once again. It was the monster with a body of a hulk, with muscles of a stone acquiring incredible strength, I smirked.
"So, you've come. What brought you here?" That voice... the voice that made the monster move and started smashing his hand on the thick metal wall, recognizing the voice of his master.
"Visiting?" I answered shrugging.
Suddenly, I felt my back pinned on the wall. His hand encircling my neck, trying to choke me "I don't like the slide of your tongue, should I cut it?" His voice sounding calm but dangerous.
"Chellax!" I raised my hands, "I just wanted to have a visit." I took his hand out of me "So, how are you doing?"
"Did you really came here out of concern?" He challenged "Go on, spill it." He said looking amused in his creation.
Well, it seems like he really knows me, but not completely. "Have you ever paid a visit to the precious monster?" I asked in a calm voice.
He suddenly looked at me, wearing a confused look.
"What do you want to say?" He asked in a serious tone.
"I just wanted to say, is that... precious monster still... a monster?"
I sensed him clenching his hands "She is a monster and will always be."
"Oh really? Why don't you try to give her a visit." I challenged shrugging innocently.
"Go, direct to the point or I'll kill you here, right now." He threatened, trying to compose himself from anger.
I hate it if someone sounded dominating while facing me, however, I don't have any choice but to play along.
"I heard she had fallen... fallen in love with a man," I smirked.
"It couldn't be." He said and I can sense anger radiating out of him, making the monster move uncontrollably.
"It could." I shrugged.
"She couldn't fall in love, tell me you're lying!" He tried to grab me but I jumped backward before he catches me.
"I was just telling what I heard, if you don't want to believe me, then go ahead. Take a look of it." I said but I was distracted by another smash of the monster in the metal wall. "Ohh, someone doesn't like my presence here, I better go out."
"She will always be a monster. Whoever is that man, he shall die. He shouldn't have existed." He said more to himself.
I smirked, looking at him but his eyes were already fixated on the monster inside the cell.
"My hard work should never vanish. I won't let this happen." He said in a hard voice.
"What's your plan then?" I asked, deep down I could sense my victory.
"It's time... they have to pay." He said not leaving his eyes on the monster. The monster calms down looking at his master in understanding.
He then walked to the side and starting tapping on the computer, every tap he does create changes in the capsules where lies the girl and the boy.
One bell sound makes the capsule open. After a moment, the girl and the boy opened their eyes.
"It's time for you... to make your move." He said looking at the three creatures.
They stayed, staring at him and a moment of silence occurred. Just then, sensing that I'm not a part of it. I quietly went on escape.
When I got out of the tunnel, I could feel my victory.
Time... a little more patient and I will get what I really wanted.
End.
