--I'm really sorry for taking so long in updating this but lately there have been a lot of things in my mind. I had a few other priorities in my life and this just had to go last. Once again, I really apologize to all of you who asked me to update soon and had to wait this long to finally read this chapter. --
The dim light of the still burning candle reflected its dancing shadows across Aisha's stolid face. The sudden silence in the room was unnerving but the images of the story that Aubrey had spoken of were still playing in her mind. She wanted the memories and thoughts to stop. She wanted to end everything. A small sigh escaped her lips as she rubbed her temples and then leveled her eyes to those black ones in front of her.
"We have different paths to follow...you have yours and I have mine. Go and live yours as well as you can for I will do my best to do so as well." Aubrey's face was in rage at her words. He stood abruptly from where he sat and then paced the room in silent anger. Aisha was startled when she suddenly felt his hand grasp the bottom of her chin and force her to face him once again.
"Have I said nothing to change whatever is in that mind of yours?" His words were but a simple and angry hiss. To speak loudly was to threaten both of them with a swift death by Sahaid. The sky was clearing and time was running out.
