He strode through the mist towards the shadows of the gloomy trees; but he hesitated when he reached an entrance into the lonesome and dreary forest.
It was such a temptation to turn around, walk back to a place which he longed to be…
He shook his head, closing his eyes. He knew he did not belong in such a place. No, he was destined to be in a dimension she could never exist in. Surely she would forget him, move on with her life without any remembrance of him.
He clenched his fists tightly, and only stopped as blood began to trickle from his palms.
It simply infuriated him. How could a mediocre girl have such an effect on a creature as himself?
It was within the depth of her sapphire eyes that some sort of magic existed—and it had undoubtedly captivated him. He could hear a song in her voice… he could see a sunrise in her face. But most of all… in the entirety of his existence he had never come across a more passionate creature than she.
It befuddled him, and frustrated him more and more every moment he contemplated it. It was not his nature to be so enthralled and desperately obsessed with such a simple girl.
It was truly strange that he cared so much—even enough to save her life in an instant impulse. Even enough to betray his own brother.
A sense of slight embarrassment came over him, and the dignity and pride within him growled demandingly.
He glanced once more across the land he could never return to, his breath hitching.
He then turned, determined to leave behind the feelings he had captured through her—along with the heart that had just begun to beat a more human-like beat. He then trudged into the shadows of the trees, a snarl escaping his lips as he began to transform.
It began to rain.
