Chapter 75: His Angel

Atlas stiffened even though her voice was soft and barely a whisper in the room he heard it. He was afraid all of this might be a dream. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her.

Her hazel eyes which he had missed so much these past two weeks were staring at him. Her lips curled up slightly.

"Atlas…..."

"Angel. Oh my…I can't believe this. You're awake…. awake finally….." He laughed as tears fell from his eyes. Nothing could explain his happiness at the moment. Fate was kind to him after all.

Meredith gazed at him, "I had a long dream. I was so scared" She rasped

"But then I heard you calling me. Telling me to keep fighting and I did."

Atlas brushed his fingers across her cheeks brushing the tears in the corner of her eyes.

"I was thinking…." He paused.

"What if I never get to tell you how much I love you under the moonlight… What if you never forgive me for not protecting you."

Meredith shook her head.

"It's not your fault. If anything, you're my salvation. The only reason why I'm alive."

Atlas shook his head, "No…No all my fault."

"Stupid. You can't control everything, Atlas. Especially what happens in this life. What has happened has already happened. Let's focus on the future. "

A soft smile tugged at his lips and kissed the tip of her nose.

"Let me call the doctor." He said pressed the bell to call the nurses.

"How are you feeling?" He asked her softly.

"I'm good." She replied softly

"How… are… you, Atlas. You look horrible." She said with a frown on her face as she took in his appearance.

"If you got sick, how would you have taken care of me? You know how I like to be pampered." Meredith scolded him.

Atlas scratched his nose looking embarrassed.

"I-I…... "

"Mr. Martini, is something wrong?" The nurse interrupted him.

"She is awake. Can you call the doctor?"

The nurse nodded and left to call the doctor.

"Mr. Martini?" The doctor called him when he came out of Meredith's room. Atlas was standing outside the door, waiting for him to be done with the examinations.

"Doc, how is she?" Is everything alright." He asked, concern etched in his voice.

"Don't worry, she is fine. Surprisingly she is healing at a fast rate. No signs of perforation, and all her vitals are fine. Just you have to be careful of the wound. Don't let it touch water, and be careful not to let the stitches get open.

She may experience some slight dizziness due to the amount of blood she had lost and dehydration. Make sure someone is always around her." The doctor explained to him.

"Alright, I will take very good care of her."

"Hmm make sure you give her nutritional meals and lots of bed rest until she recovers. Also now that she has woken up, I hope you will take care of yourself." The doctor scolded.

Atlas gave the doctor a small smile and nodded.

"Thank you for everything, doc. When will she be discharged?"

"Let's monitor her for one night, if everything is fine, then she can come for dressing of the wound every 3 days."

"Okay."

The doctor gave Atlas a soft nod and left.

When Atlas entered the ward, Meredith was gazing out the windows.

"Angel…" He whispered softly.

Meredith turned slowly to look at him. Tears rolling down her cheeks.

Atlas eyes widened, he rushed to her side and pulled the chair closer to her bed.

"Hey…what's wrong?"

Meredith shook her head, biting her lips as more tears fell from her eyes.

Atlas sat beside her on the bed and pulled her to his chest.

"You're shaking," he whispered with hushed concern as he brushed his fingers in her hair.

Meredith was silent as she listened to his heartbeat. The dream or whatever she had was so real. It scares her so much. If she was really a supernatural being that means she was a monster. Will Atlas like her again if he gets to know her secrets? Also, her parents…were they alive? When will her powers manifest? Will people see her as a threat? Her getting shot was it because…"

"Do you want to talk about it?" he whispered softly.

Meredith bit her lips and shook her head. She didn't even know what to tell him and how to start. How do you tell someone that all your life you have been living a lie and you're tribrid, whatever that meant.

"I'm…I'm not ready to talk about it."

"Alright…." He whispered, pressing a kiss on her forehead.

"I missed you." He murmured.

"I missed you too. "Meredith whispered.

"Promise me Atlas, you will won't leave me." She said wrapping her hands around his waist. She felt so alone right now and he was her strength at the moment. She didn't know what to do right now. She had so many questions, so many fears and so many doubts.

"I'm not leaving you, Meredith. Not now, not ever. I'm now selfish more than ever."

"You promise?" She whispered on the brink of tears.

"Promise." He assured her.

"I need you more than anything, Angel and I'm not letting you go. We are stuck with each other now and forever."

He whispered, kissing away her tears.

Meredith felt so happy to be with him again. She was afraid, she wouldn't see him again. For now, she would enjoy her time with him. Because she didn't know when they will be coming for her.

Her whole life was about to be turned upside down and the least she could do is cherish every moment of her life. Because whether she likes it or not, she was at the center of a supernatural war and it was all a matter of time before they find her.

She grabbed her neck to hold the necklace, Atlas had given her but it wasn't there. She panicked.

"Atlas, the necklace,"

Atlas gave her a small smile and removed it from his pocket. He had been carrying it around everywhere with him.

"Here."

He secured it around her neck and pressed a kissed on her hair.

A smile formed on her lips, "Your Angel." She whispered, touching the necklace.

"My Angel.." Atlas breathed as he stared at her with contentment.
