Sir Ares, Goodnight

Zayne kept walking without saying a word.

Josephine then fled.

Zayne's footsteps hastened the moment she ran off.

Tears of fear began to form in Josephine's eyes. "What are you trying to do, Zayne? Stop, you're scaring me."

Perhaps it was the lack of calm that had Josephine accidentally kicking the edge of the bed while she was fleeing, making her flop onto it.

Zayne pounced on her, his hands coming from behind him to take the cut straps on the bedsheet.

"What are you trying to do? Have you gone mad, Zayne?" Josephine kicked and fought back.

Unshed tears began to well in Zayne's reddened eyes.

After he had tied both of Josephine's hands only did he finally let out a sigh of slight relief.

Zayne lit himself a cigarette and took a long drag, puffing out a cloud of smoke that danced in the air. His tone was pleading when he turned to look at Josephine who continued to kick about. "Just relax for a moment, Josephine. There's something I need to tell you."
