Vixen had always known that this day would come and or the life of her she couldn't understand why she hadn't gotten herself out of it. She couldn't understand why her animalistic survival instincts hadn't kicked. She had always known this day would come but had never used her common sense. Even as she asked these questions in her head her heart answered them. It was because she was in love. There was no reason and logic to love. She had loved John and he had loved her or so she thought. Today that was being proved wrong.
"Mari I'm sorry but we're done"
Those were the words that he told this afternoon when she had asked him to meet her at the most popular place in New York. HE has turned her down saying that he couldn't do it anymore. Do what she had asked playfully he had stared her for long time before saying
"Lying to myself"
When he said that all playfulness slid from her and her heart became stone cold so she had to herself this is it. She decided to play dumb.
"Lying about what boo?" Inserting the nickname even though it was killing her.
"I'm sorry Mari but I love Shayera and I can't parade around pretending not to and she is my destiny."
Now Mari decided to play the bitch
"Your destiny! What happened to I will not be destiny's puppet so I was a distraction a test so you could impress to your precious hawk who betrayed everyone I will have you John Stewart that I will not tolerate your hypocrisy!"
And then she slammed the door in his face.
Then on the other side of the door she heard John muttering in to his cell. What she could hear was that he was arranging a meeting with a woman at the little Chinese place by his apartment.
And she knew exactly who it was, Shayera that little traitorous hawk, and before she knew it, she had grabbed a plate and thrown it at the wall, and then another.
Still she couldn't understand why she was angry she had known it was inescapable. She had known it was coming. It had been inevitable.
