Chapter 12

He was two steps away from me. One step and we would be skin to skin.

I watched as his chest heaved up and down. My eyes roamed his body until they reached his eyes.

His eyes. His chestnut brown eyes were now tainted black.The eyes that I once used to see the world through were now tainted by evil.

We stared into each others eyes. I knew what was happening and I didn't want to believe it.

I just didn't want to believe. I didn't want to believe that he was going to hurt me ,that he wanted to hurt me.

I sucked in a mouthful of air. The atmosphere was so tense.

I wanted to believe that there was still good that lied behind those chestnut brown eyes but....

Words left unsaid. Fears hidden deep within. We stared into each others eyes ,our eyes did the talking.

His eyes held anger ,pain,guilt and sorrow.

I took a step forward,then another.

"Don't even try to convince me with those soft pointless words ,what you see is what is happening." He said .

He gave me a cold look. I took a step back not because I was threatened by his words ,but because I was witnessing him changing into something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

He was embracing the darkness. I said nothing at first I only stared. I stared at this stranger I didn't recognize and it broke me heart.

He was breaking my heart all over again. As much as Andrew hurt me back then , I still cared about him.I'm not in love with him but I will always have love for him no matter what.

He was once someone my world centered around. Not so long ago I loved him with all I had.

"Andrew." I said softly.

He held out his palm I stared at it. A dark cloud around it. He controlled it and rotated it in loops.

"You see this, this is who I am, it's who I've always been. I have been denying it for so long but no more ,no more." He said.

"Andrew, look stop fucking around and being a big baby,you're not some evil dude I know you aren't." I said.

He laughed. I stared.

"You think this is a game, an act? I've always had this darkness always Tehilla. I am gonna make sure I'm the person that stabs a blade straight through your heart."

I take another step back. His eyes twirled as he said that.

"You think I love you? I never loved you Tehilla. I am incapable of love always have always will be. I made it clear back then and I'll make it clear again. This is who I am wake up not everyone is in love with the wonderful Tehilla." his words carried so much bitterness.

His words were sharpened,sharpened enough to pierce my soul.They were arrows making holes in my heart.

I saw world behind his eyes disappearing. He was slowly disappearing. After 2 years of not seeing him,2 years and I come back to this void of a person. Maybe if I had been here he wouldn't have sank.

I stretched my hands wide.

"You think I never knew that?that you never loved me that it was all a game ? Sorry to burst your bubble I did. But I still loved you anyway. Don't get me wrong you acted bitchy hurting me like that, lying to me and breaking my heart that was coward behavior. However I do know that you are anything but this shallow person infront of me. You're not evil."

I take a step forward again.for a brief second I see Andrew,he gives me a sad smile. It is quickly masked up by the stranger that was once before me.

He laughs ,his whole body roars with laughter. Dark energy radiates from his body. A dark mist engulfs us dancing in its glory. I move back and watch that sad spectacle before me. He's engulfed by a dark mist.The clouds thundered.He was giving in to the darkness. He came into view again.

I took another step back. "Tehilla if you don't kill me now, I'll become someone I never wanted to be,please kill me" He said.

His words took me by surprise. He's wrestling with himself. I shook my head.

"I'm not going to kill you." I said.

I felt a cold drop on my palm.

He clutched his head aggressively.

"If you don't kill me,I will kill you I promise I will. Maybe not now but I will I can feel my brain being eaten up by thoughts of killing you. Ways I can kill you. Kill me know!" He said.

I felt shivers run through my body.

"No!" I sad harshly.

I knew what he was saying was true. I knew he meant what he said. I knew he was right. I needed to kill him or he would. But I couldn't,I couldn't do it even if I tried.

This is Andrew we're talking about, I can't.

"I'm sorry, Tehilla." He said. He voice sounded weak. I didn't want to belive it. I didn't believe it.

He stopped moving. I could no longer see the world behind his brown eyes. I could no longer feel him, I probably might not ever. All I could do was stare. And so I stared. Silence. I could only stare at him. When he opened his eyes I knew he gave up. All I saw was a stranger consumed by anger and misery. Andrew was gone.This stranger gave me a look that made my body radiated with fear. I wanted nothing more than to get away from him. I knew running was not gonna be an option. He would just catch me in and instant.

Maybe my powers. I waited for him to advance towards me. His hands morphed into sharp ravenous claws.

My body shook. I knew I wouldn't dare harm him. I couldn't possibly hurt Andrew even if I had a gun pointed at my head.

Why? Because that's what caring about someone does to you. No matter how much they hurt you you could never reciprocate the hurt on them.

Was this it? Was I gonna die at the hands of an old lover?

No. I was gonna die at the hands of this imposter.
