BITTER

Xander, who was prepared for any problem that could possibly arise in the course of their plan, signalled the security team.

Angel had barely run into the dark hallway when a sac once more was thrown over her, and she was led into another room.

She tried to struggle out of their hold, and was thrown to the ground roughly.

The cover was finally lifted from her eyes, but as she looked around, she couldn't find anyone in the room.

Distressed, and exhausted, she burst into silent tears.

It was in that position she fell asleep. And even in her sleep, she couldn't find the rest she desired.

She dreamt of her. Her eyes were so pretty, and kind.

No one else was as beautiful as she was. No one could be, even if they tried.

She tried to reach out for her. To tell her how much she missed, and needed her.

It was impossible. She was close, yet still so far away.
