Diamant

Today marked three months since it had all happened. The distance between he and Clara grew, the void strong enough to devour them. 


Three months of her acting to him like he was a total stranger. It wasn't like he wanted to keep track of how long this had cut him, he just had no choice but to watch time go by and his heart die slowly. 


This wasn't the love he had hoped for. This wasn't what he had wanted when he betrayed the Dragon Lord. 


He hit the wall again and kicked it severally. This anger in him was raging, the hurt running through him and he had to just look for a way to push it all out. 


"They drive us nuts, don't they?" He heard a voice and turned around. 


"Your Majesty." He bowed immediately, paying Aaron respect. 


"They drive us well out of our minds." He commented with a smile and Lewis rubbed his aching knuckles. 


"She won't still talk to you?" Aaron asked. 


"Yes, Sire. She now hates me." Lewis replied heartbroken.
