The fight from within [4]

Ba... Thump! Ba... Thump! 

Evelyn felt her heart beat out of her chest as she faced Julien's whose expression remained the same. His deep hazel eyes looked right at her, seeping into the corners of her mind. 

His gaze was intense. 

Evelyn felt suffocated by his gaze. 

But she resisted. With her head raised, she looked straight at him. 

This was not the right time. 

She understood this, but when was ever the right time? She had been longing to say this for quite a while now, never finding the courage to speak up about it. 

It was only now that it was just the two of them that she found her voice. 

And so... 

She did it, she spoke her thoughts. 

"You're not Julien." 

Evelyn was sure of it. 

While Julien changed in the past, it had never been for such a long extent. The first time he changed was when they were both ten years old. 

It was an incident she couldn't forget.
