I didn't know what to say. He was there standing in front of me not saying a word. I hadn't seen him in years, and now he was taller than me. I was shocked, and a bit annoyed. So he had finally decided to show up; after all of these long, hard, cold, lonely years he decides to show up.

"What do you want Edward?" I ask. He was obviously shocked at the fact that after all of these years this was the first time I had ever called him by his full name. I had always given him the nickname Eddy, and no matter how much he complained, I refused to say 'Edward'. And here I was using the word for the first time in my life. The word was foreign on my tongue, it was so strange, but what was I supposed to call him? He was necessarily my friend anymore, and I was so angry I could have killed him on the spot. But no. I had already killed too many. That was the exact reason I had left the military. My father had objected several times, but finally let me go.

"Volcana…" Ed says as if he were disappointed.

"I asked you a question."" I say coldly, not wanting to waste any more time talking to the man before me.

"I was in the neighborhood, and remembered today was…" He trails off taking a present out from behind his back. I stare at it as if it were a venomous snake that might attack at any moment. "It won't hurt you."

I take the present from his hands, he motions for me to go ahead, and open it. I undo the red ribbon on top gently, not wanting to rip it, and open the small white box.

"It's beautiful." I say taking out a key made of diamond. I open it, realizing it was a locket and inside, written in Ruby and a beautiful cursive, were two names, and 1 sentence. "Edward, Sylvia, I Love You…" I say reading the words out loud.

"Silver, I-"

"Shut up." I say cutting him off. I looked him in the eyes, his golden eyes; at that moment, I saw how scared he was.

I brush my lips against his; we remain, like that for an eternity. I close my red eyes, savoring the moment, knowing it wouldn't last forever, knowing that nothing even close to it would ever happen again, knowing that he would be leaving again, and that I would never see him again.

In the blink of an eye, the moment is over, and no matter how much I didn't want him to, Ed pulls away, needing to refill his lunges with oxygen.

"Silver, I had to come, and say I love you, and goodbye." Ed says looking down.

My heart immediately sank, "Goodbye… You just came back…" I cry, into his chest, he wraps his arms around me, I felt safe, and yet again here I was hoping that he would never let me go, that this moment would never end. It always has to end, why did fate hate me so much that it had to take him away from me, this time, forever?

"I know, and I don't want to, but this time… It's for good Silver." Ed says lifting my chin with one hand, and tucking my long blood red bangs behind my ears.

"Why?" Was all I could say before the tears came out like a waterfall, and I couldn't even manage to say a single word.

Eddy kisses the top of my head, "Because I am dying…" The words, from that moment on, I knew I would never forget them, and that I would never love again.

At that moment I couldn't even move, I was scared, I didn't know what to do, my heart cried out in pain, but I couldn't even open my eyes. I didn't want to see his face, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

He brushes one hand through my hair, kisses my lips one last time, and turns around to leave. After a moment I open my eyes, only to see his back.

"Funny." I think out loud smiling, "The last time you ever see someone, their back is turned, and that is the last image in your mind of them. Then suddenly, as if they never existed; they are gone forever." I laugh, falling to my knees. A single raindrop hits my nose, and then it's pouring. A moment that would never end, it was an infinite moment.
