Prologue
Sunny
"But I…I want to stay," I whined quietly as Kyle led me to what I assumed would be the doctor of these caves.
"I know, I know," he said soothingly but I couldn't ignore the slight impatience coloring his tone. "But you can't, I'm sorry Sunny but you can't stay."
"Why?" I chanced a look up at him and immediately looked back down again for his intense blue gaze was too much for me.
"I…..you…..you'll be happier somewhere else." He said dismissively and continued on through the winding corridors.
"But….."I started but held my tongue. I knew I couldn't stay here, I didn't belong here among these humans. I wasn't one of them and I couldn't deny that fact.
"I'm sorry Sunny but I have to do this….I-I have try to get her back and I'm so sorry if I hurt you but you have to understand." He pleaded with me and one look in his eyes decided my answer.
I would do it.
For him.
I couldn't stand to see him in this pent up pain any longer, it hurt me just as much as it hurt him if not more. It hurt to see him like this. It hurt to be pushed away like this. It hurt to be unloved. But I had to do it, for Kyle, because if I truly loved him, I would let him go. Let him be happy even if it wasn't with me.
I looked down and kept quiet after that. I couldn't trust my voice, afraid that I might break down.
"I truly am sorry, Sunny, but you shouldn't want to stay. There's nothing we can offer here." He stated and I turned to the side as the tears began to gather in my eyes.
Again, I was silent until we finally reached a brightly lit room that he led me into. I looked around and noticed a man sitting at a makeshift desk with scattered papers cluttering the surface.
"Doc," Kyle called and the man looked up before nodding and coming over to me. He reached his hand out towards me and I flinched away from it cautiously.
"It's alright, I won't hurt you…."The doctor said calmly.
"Over here Kyle," He ordered as he walked over to a small cot and signaled for us to follow.
I stared blankly at the cot before slowly laying down on my stomach and finally letting my last tears fall.
I heard murmured voices and shuffling around the room but I kept my eyes closed, afraid of anything I might see.
"Sunny….here, take this," I heard Kyles voice say, close to my ear and I opened my eyes slightly to take the small square of No Pain from him. "We'll send you somewhere nice okay? Somewhere where you'll forget all of this, a place you'll be happy. Because that's what I want, you know, I want you to be happy too okay?"
I didn't want to listen though, afraid I would detect the lie he must be telling me. He didn't want happiness for me. He wanted me gone so he could have his real love back, so he could have Jodi back.
I popped the No Pain into my mouth and looked at him one last time before whispering "I love you Kyle….."
And then he smiled sadly before I inhaled the chloroform and the world went black.
