The Pain of Betrayal and the Deal

"Well my love, its all because of..."

Clawed frowned, "Power!?" he asked. The look in his eyes carried his disappointment. 

Duncan shook his head as tears ran down his cheeks, "trust me my love! I hurt just as badly as you do now. But you know the kind of family we come from. Without my other half, I won't ever be able to climb past the Deep Demon rank. But with your soul, I can get him back!" 

Clawed's frown got deeper, "Danny, your twin brother!? You want to get him back from father..." Clawed chuckled a bit as his fingers stroked Duncan's face affectionately, "advice from a lover and a big brother. You were better off having a happier life with me, than getting Danny's soul back from father." 

*Cough!*

"I love you..."

The moment he said those words, Clawed's eyes deemed into the darkness. Even though he had just been betrayed by the person he trusted most in his life, he had not hated Duncan for it.
