But What If I Hate You?

[HAWI]

"We don't need you. I don't know why the fuck you came here. I don't care about what you want, but know that when dawn comes, you will be dead. You can leave now and never come back, or stay and watch me be the first to put a stake into your heart," Mbali warned.

She was not about to make any compromises and frankly, that was understandable. She wasn't sure how to react to all of this without being hurt and she had had her fair share of pain to last her the night anyway.

"You don't need a stake for that," Amina said softly. A part of her was still hoping that all would be well, that the world would be all shiny for them. She knew it was a long gamble, but then she couldn't help wanting to be there for her mate. 

She just wanted to spend more time with Mbali, even though shit had gotten complicated. Nothing she had done so far warranted the trust she was hoping for and maybe that was why she was pulling back too.
