"Ow," I groaned when I woke up on a very hard, cold stone floor. There was throbbing pain on my left arm.
"That was quicker than I expected," a familiar, yet alien voice said, amused.
"Chase!" I got up hastily, ignoring the sharp throb of protest from my arm, then stopped short.
He had somehow managed to acquire a set of green spiked armour. There were tiny changes to his face; his eyes sharper; still the same beautiful gold, but their pupils were reptilian slits, his mouth twisted into a mocking grin. Little details that transformed him completely.
And did he look good.
"How long have I been out," I muttered, more of a statement than a question.
"Only a day," he answered, his fierce stare shifting to my left arm.
I looked at it now, and was shocked to see the long cut that ran from my wrist, and I could see it snaking up my shoulder under my long, ripped sleeves.
"I did that," he said. I glanced at him, surprised at the iciness of his tone. His golden eyes stared back at me coldly.
"Does it matter?" I asked, stung at his tone.
He shrugged. "Leave now."
"What?" I was genuinely surprised.
"I said. Leave." He glared at me. "Things are different now. The Chase Young you know is dead and gone. And he's never coming back." He paused, examining the stunned expression on my face.
"I don't love you anymore Eva." He turned and walked away.
It wasn't just heartache; is was a physical pain, as if my heart had been torn open, but was still beating in my chest.
Then I snorted angrily, trying to get hold of my feelings. If he really thought so little of me, that I was such a do-goode r-
He's never really known you, a calm collected voice whispered in my head. At the temple you were always careful, guarded, with him. You never told him the whole truth about yourself
Shut up! I screamed back in rage. It didn't matter now, did it? He had left me, and he was never coming back.
Chase... How could you?
I didn't realise I was crying, until I saw the crystalline drops sparking on my hands.
Chase...
When you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way
When after all this time that you still owe
You're still, the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay
And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whooa
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Well come on, come on
When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
