"Go to hell!" She spat out.

I could feel my lips curling into a smirk as I advanced towards her.

"Oh I will, sweetheart, and I'll make sure I drag you down there with me."

"Don't come any closer, or I'll shoot." She warned but even as she spoke she edged back slowly.

"Then shoot me."

Demons From The Past

/"Did you even think what you were doing to me? Did you even for a minute stop to think how I'd survive if I lost you? /"

My eyes flashed. /"You know what I had been through. You knew what losing the person I loved did to me once. You knew what it'd do to me now. You of all people know the only thing I'm actually afraid of is losing you! Yet, you still decided to put me through that!/"

/"Verena, I couldn't let you risk your life. I know that makes me a coward. I know I was being selfish. But I couldn't lose you, even if that meant I had to give up my life. You were going to walk into a death-trap and I couldn't let you do that./"

/"You had no right to make that decision for me. This is my life. It was my decision to make. If you had trusted me and told me, maybe we could have figured out something together. Maybe this all could have been avoided./"
