Thank you so much for your reviews, favs and follows. I appreciate every one of them. This is the final chapter and I hope you enjoy this short story. There are notes at the end of the chapter.
And again, sorry for misspelled words.
"Everything's ready, hon." "I winked at Dean. I was a total fool.
"Let's go now, before night comes." He plead.
"Dean, we need to talk. You have to tell me what you know about that thing. Why are you so scared?"
Dean gulped. He looked at me, his baby blue eyes full of unshed tears.
"I lived in a village nearby this one. My family died when I was 12 because of a plague and a neighbor of my family adopted me. She was a nice woman but his husband was a monster, an enormous, strong and fat man. She tried to take care of me but that man was drunken all the time. At first he beat the shit of us, me, she and their two other kids, two girls of 11 and 6 years old. Then..."
"What?"
It wasn't necessary to ask. It was obvious why Dean hated when other people touched him. He was crying desperately while held his face with his hands. I felt my blood so cold and a pain in my chest.
"How many time did it last?"
"Four years. He abused of all of us. And not just him... he handed us to other people time to time. My step mom died because of a beating two years after my arriving to that place. The older of my step sisters died because he never tried to cure a disease, he let her die. Then it was just me and my last step sister. Seven months ago I turned 17 and I knew I was ready to… to kill him." Dean, looked at me so desperate, "I dreamed every night with his dead body. I knew I had to kill him, then take my little 10 years old sister, run so far away and start a new life, just the two of us. She was the very reason to stay alive and endure all the pain. She was suffering the same, she was so innocent and beauty."
Dean was crying loudly. I know I feel empathy for other people, but man I'm feeling it now. I was totally absorbing his pain. It hurt a lot. Dean fell on the floor unable to hold his own body. I sat beside him, trying to hug him but he pushed me.
"That night he was drunk. I behave as docile as I could trying to seduce him, I had everything planned. That sick monster was…" His face contorted with disgust, "He was so excited touching me but then everything failed. He told me he didn't want me that night and called her. I was desperate, not again. I couldn't stand him touching her. So I decided to wait no more. I had a knife hidden inside my clothes and I slashed him. But even drunk he was stronger than me."
Dean watched his hands so scared.
"We fought and he finally controlled the situation. He beat me and left me bleeding on the floor. Then he went for her. I wanted to die, I plead my death before I had to see that again. I... I..."
He was shaking his skin looked even paler and I could even hear his heartbeats. I felt he could have a heart attack. I tried to hug him again and this time he didn't resist.
"Roman... Roman... you need to understand..."
I heard some loud knockings at my door.
"Don't leave me alone. Roman I need you."
"Roman!" It was the voice of my fiancée.
"I fucking hate that bitch!" Dean yelled.
Man, it would be impossible not to be heard.
"She's all the time around here. She doesn't let you breath. Tell her to fuck off!" He kept screaming so angry.
"Roman!" She was yelling as loud as Dean "I heard that stupid kid!"
Then the knockings became louder and stronger, I heard various screams. Were the villagers trying to knock down my door?
"Roman!" A man's voice. "Bring that fucking beast you are protecting. He's the murderer!"
"What!" I looked at Dean and he was frightened.
The villagers finally knocked down my door and soon an angry crowd was getting into my room. Despite how bad it looked I never let go of Dean. I kept holding him protectively.
"Roman!" My fiancée yelled visibly angry, "That weird kid is the murderer. Let him go, we have to kill him."
"What!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing, "Are you crazy? All of you? He's a kid. You have to prove your accusations."
The sheriff came to me. Dean had his head hiding in my chest and was shaking uncontrollably. I was softly petting his back keeping the tight hug.
"We made an investigation." He said with a shotgun in his hands. Some other villagers had forks and knifes. "There were a survivor in the last house but we never said a word. A kid, he described the murderer as an enormous beast with human features, but full of hair."
"Yeah, I can see the resemblance." I said ironically.
"Doctor, the kid said he waited a few moments and decided to go out of his hideout. Then he saw this kid you're protecting. The only witness was in shock and was unable to talk, but few days ago he started to talk and little by little he gave us the information we needed. He had never seen Dean before but this morning he described him. We made a draw and he described this kid as the person he saw in the crime scene."
Then the sheriff handed me the draw and there it was: Dean's pretty face.
"I always knew it. That kid is weird. And I don't know how he can transform himself in that beast. But he has to die." My fiancée insisted.
I took Dean's face forcing him to see me. He was crying and shaking.
"Roman, you saved me, you were protecting me all this time. You never took advantage of my situation. Life wouldn't be enough to thank you."
But he's not confessing.
"Even if the kid said Dean was in the crime scene, that doesn't mean he's the murderer. Maybe there's a good reason for him to be there." I was desperate.
"He's a monster!" People began to shout.
Some villagers held me and I couldn't keep protecting him. They took Dean away from me and I was kicking and thrashing. My fiancée was yelling something but I couldn't hear her. All I could hear was him, crying. He's not a monster, he's just a kid. The monster was that horrible man my baby had to... kill. He couldn't even finish the story.
It was darkening and the crowd tied him and threw him in the middle of the park. I could free myself from their grip and tried to reach him.
"Why are you protecting him?" My fiancée finally claimed.
"He's just a kid. You know nothing about him!" I yelled, "That thing about werewolves, vampires and other stuff are just myths. All of you are only showing how much idiot you are killing a kid because a fable your parents told you."
I couldn't see it come. I should've been prepared for this. One of those stupid villagers threw a large knife and it plough under Dean's flesh, so near to his heart. My baby began to spit blood and I threw myself over him. It was completely dark now. Just the torches of the villagers enlightened the night.
I was shaking trying to figure the best way to take off that knife of my babe's body.
"I love you baby. I'll save you." I said.
Suddenly the crowd shut their mouths. He was suffering in a horrible agony. While this people kept thinking about him as a murderer, there was no way to save him. The will beat him to death, his dead will be agonizing. I just have one way to stop his pain, and stop his agony. I began to cry.
"Roman, will you save me?"
"I'm your savior, babe."
"You'll do this in order to save them too."
"All I want is to save you, sweet one."
"Will you save them?"
"I will save YOU, my beloved one."
I see his beautiful face contorted with pain. His deep baby blue eyes full of tears. He's suffering and I'm also suffering. I love him more than I love myself, more than I love anyone. He's is watching the floor, unable to see what I'm going to do. I'd wish can do the same, not see what I'm going to do. I'd wish not have to do this. But this... this is the only way to save him and save me.
"I'm sorry..."
"Do it Roman. The way they will kill me is horrible and painful, it'll be so much pain. My life was all about pain and sorrow, but then you came and you made me so happy, everything was worth. I could not think of a better way to die than in your hands. I'll love you to death."
"Dean, all I wanted was to make you happy, to love you the way you deserve."
"It won't be possible. End my pain please." He softly said.
Then everything fade to black.
…
I magically woke up in my bed. I was naked and my body full of wounds. I felt like I had received a beating. A horrible headache made me felt dizzy... I sat and then began to remember, for the first time I remembered.
I was ready to kill my beloved Dean, to stop his pain, but then I felt it. A rush of energy invading my body. The anger I felt was something raw and pure. I even felt my body changing. Then I felt like his precious life was escaping from his body and the crowd looked at me scared, screaming and throwing things at my body. It was useless, they couldn't hurt me.
They had killed my baby and they had to pay. As my previous nightmares I remembered a lot of people crying for help. People suffering, bathed in blood, dying. They asked for help and mercy, but for the first time I was enjoying their pain. I felt pleasure on their deaths.
I killed the entire village. Nobody escaped, not even women or children. I killed every one of them. Then I carried my beloved's lifeless body and I could see them: claws and my arms and hands full of hair. It didn't care. I took the knife off of his chest and he smiled at me.
"Roman, that night you appeared, as a monster, in my house and killed our step-father." He told me coughing blood. "You saved me and saved my little sister. You killed him horribly, you tortured him in a way so ruthless and malevolent, but for me was something almost poetic, it was beautiful. I loved you for what you did, even into that monster body, I loved you. Then you watched at us and did nothing, you never tried to attack us. You even let me touch you, and then you fainted."
"We saw your identification in the rags that became your clothes after your transformation. I left my sister in a church, she agreed with me that we had to keep hide your secret, you were our savior. And we agreed that, since that moment, I had to take care of you. Every new moon when you became that monster I was there being sure to bring you home and destroying evidence."
He took a deep breath.
"One night that older man was claiming for help and I tried to help him. But he was so nervous and scared that he attacked me and pulled my hair. Anyways you could reach him and you killed him. The last night I was trying to destroy the evidence but I failed and that kid saw me."
"Everyone is dead now. I killed the entire village." I said in pain, I was in my human body again. "I'm a murderer. I'm the monster I never believed could exist." I said trying to cure Dean's wound. He was quickly losing a lot of blood.
"I'm sorry leaving you alone Roman. You saved me and I failed to you. I couldn't keep saving you. I love you so much. With you, I finally knew the meaning of the word happiness."
…
Another village, so fucking far of the last one. Six new moons ago I found the love of my life. I saved him and he tried to save me. I spent an entire day burying the corpses of the villagers I killed, after that I decided to look for this girl. I went to the church and gave her all the money I had and talked to her about what happened. She cried a lot but she, just like Dean, was still grateful with me because I free them of their horrible father. The nuns said with the money they will build an orphanage to take care of kids like Emily: Dean's step sister and other kids. That's Dean's will and I went there trying to please him.
I'm into the carriage and still missing two nights for the next new moon. I kiss his forehead, he's lying inside the carriage. He can't walk or sit and his wound is still in treatment. But he's alive. Again, I managed to save him and he chose to stay with me. I'm a monster and that's why I'm going so far, so fucking far, maybe the mountains, so far away of other people, I don't want to kill anyone else. Dean is coming with me because he knows I'll never hurt him.
He loves a monster. He's the only person in this world that can do something like that. I don't know what did cause of my transformation. It started the night I saved Dean. And I don't know if it'll last forever, all I know is that I'm a monster, a murderer. But no matter how bad it sounds, I have someone that loves me to the point of risk his life for me again and again every new moon. I have someone that will love me to death.
Ok, thank you so much for give this story a chance. The X Files is my favorite show. I love the fact the chapters end kinda unsolved but still have an end. So this was a weird attempt of make some kind of x file. I don't know if I succeeded but I enjoyed writing this.
