The Secret Guardian

"We all have a dark side, the difference is whether we choose to face it or hide from it." - Unknown The story follows a young girl, Selene, who's running through the woods as if something or someone is chasing her. She feels trapped, and her only solution seems to be taking her own life by jumping into the river. However, just as she is about to succumb to the water's depths, she is unexpectedly rescued by someone with great powers. Her eyes blurry, but she could still see the tall man standing over her. She felt his angry but calm aura as he spoke, "You're not supposed to die. You're the one, as the prophecy goes. The one." Accompanying her on this perilous journey is a mysterious and powerful guardian who has been tasked with keeping her safe as she learns about herself, about life, and that the fate of this world rests on her shoulder. Selene and her guardian grow closer with time. However, he knows that their love is forbidden, as the guardian's duty is to protect her, not fall in love with her.

Selene

Azriel was staring at me when my eyes opened. My gaze shifted to our hands still intertwined.

"You're awake."

He hummed.

Tears filled my eyes again. Goddamn it. Why do I cry so much?

"It looks like we're late for work."

He hummed again. I didn't like this feeling. I hated this. I felt uneasy. I got up, and so did he, still holding my hand.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked, running my eyes. "And why didn't you go to bath or something?

"Because you were sleeping...for both the questions."

I furrowed my brows, wanting to hug him and kiss his unreadable face till he gives me a beautiful smile.

This uneasy feeling in my chest grew. I couldn't just give up on us. Yesterday, I might've said too much but this time, I had to be consistent in making him realise that we could fight together through this forbidden love shit. It was love, right? Then, it was worth having a war for.
