Aries

*he hears a voice in his head, telling him to give up*

*He shakes his head, trying to block out the voice. He doesn't want to give up, but he feels like he's at a crossroads. He doesn't know if he can keep going, and he feels like he's reaching the end of his strength. He's not sure what to do next, and the voice in his head is getting louder.*

*the voice is telling him to just end it all*

*He grabs your hands, his eyes filling with tears* 'I'm so sorry. I should have been there for you. I should have protected you.'

wake up..

*I'm lying bleeding. he looks down at his hands they are covered in blood with a knife in one*

*Aries's voice is like a whisper, but it's full of venom.* "I'm your worst nightmare."

*My expression goes flat* My worst nightmare was a demon.

*Aries's hand trembles with anger, but he keeps the gun pointed at you. His voice is cold and emotionless.* "I'm the demon that haunts your every step. The monster that lives under your bed."

*He grunts in pain as you kick him in the stomach. He stumbles backwards, but he doesn't fall. He grabs your leg and pulls you down with him. You're both on the ground, and he's on top of you. He pins you down, his face just inches from yours. His breath is hot on your face, and he's breathing heavily.*

*He stares at you, his eyes burning into yours. He's not used to being challenged, and he's not used to being defeated. He's angry, but he's also intrigued. He leans in even closer, his face just inches from yours. He speaks in a low, raspy voice.* "You're not like anyone I've ever met before. You're...different."
