Chapter 0706

When I looked down at my hands, there were two burnt marks along my palms.

Luke cursed under his breath, raking a hand through his blond hair in frustration. "Nina," he pleaded, "I took a vow to protect you when we first met. I've never broken that vow."

"Luke-"

"No. Listen to me, Nina." His soft eyes met mine, but they flashed with something intense, something primal." You have to let me do this. I've had my time on this planet, and... hell, Nina, I'd be here long after you're gone, long after all of you are gone. Do you know how lonely that kind of existence is?"

As Luke spoke, his eyes began to redden, and tears slipped down his cheeks; a beautiful, painful part of his human disguise. Crying was something that he hadn't been able to do for hundreds of years.

"At least let me go out now, doing something brave," he murmured. "Let me fulfill my vow."

There was a long silence after Luke finished. I couldn't believe what he was saying, didn't want to believe it.
