"Abel..."
Abel snapped his eyes open, acting on instinct at the hand that was approaching him. In a dazed state, Abel grabbed Aries wrist, pouncing on her until he was pinning her down. His other hand wrapped around her neck, while the other pinning her wrist to her side.
All he could see was red; just like the blazing fire that didn't kill me, resulting in continuous tortures just to kill a monster like him.
"Ah... bel..." Aries winced, breathless at the tightening grip around her neck. He would kill her. She stared into his eyes, seeing how blank they were, as if he couldn't see her.
Using her remaining strength, she called. "It's me..." raising her free hand to cup his cheek. "... Abel."
His dim eyes slowly grew clearer, dilating as soon as he saw her writhing underneath him. On instinct, Abel withdrew his hand as if he was scalded. As soon as he let her go, Aries coughed loudly while groping her neck, catching up to her breathing.
