Destroyed

Moonlight.

Darkness.

The sound of the waves crashing against the side of the pier.

Alexis could see and hear all of these things.

She inhaled deeply, taking in the sea air, and exhaled with her eyes closing. Her arms crossed underneath her bosom, a small shiver taking over from the coolness of the temperature that night.

Alexis could remember what it had been like a few years ago when Zane had comforted her and been her strength when Atticus was missing and then later in a coma.

Now the Zane of yesterday was destroyed; never again able to show comfort or be the strength of others. He was Hell Kaiser and he was cruel and twisted in the right ways. He tried rising to the top and all he received was failure in return.

Alexis scowled as the hurt returned.

Hadn't Zane Truesdale been Atticus' and her best friend?

Hadn't he once confessed his secret feelings and she had done the same one late night?

Alexis' fingertips brushed across her lips as she recalled their first secret kiss.

She had failed him in a way but he failed her too. The moment he lost himself in his new self.

Hell Kaiser.

"Zane…"

"I can't come back."

Startled, Alexis whirled around to see said male duelist in his black attire.

"What are you doing here?" demanded the Obelisk Queen.

His dark orbs locked on her light ones, "I wanted to see if you were alright."

Alexis' brows met, "Why would you care about me?"

"Because Hell Kaiser or not, destroyed or not, I still love you Alexis." Zane said barely.

"Do you honestly expect me to believe that?" She shot in reply. "I did my best to please you but my best was never good enough. Somehow you always manage to see what I am not."

"Lexi…" He whispered, taking a step towards her.

"Don't you dare "Lexi" me! What we had isn't here anymore and never will be! You had your chance and you destroyed it the moment you became the sick jerk that you are now, Hell Kaiser." Alexis spat his title and turned away, breathing heavily from her rage.

"So be it." Zane replied, turning to walk away. "But I still love you, Alexis, whether you believe it or not."

The dark blonde whirled around and Zane was gone.

"Zane?"

No response except for the waves crashing.

"Zane!!"

Still nothing.

Except for the sound of her shattering heart.

The End

A/N: Not as happy as my Fiancéshipping one, but more real. Seriously, did you really expect Alexis to believe Zane after all that he's done as Hell Kaiser? I wouldn't! Anyways, Royalshipping is done and I got a lot more to go!

Please R&R!
