Bella
A pact made.
Two orphans who vowed to never part.
I was selfish-for once, I had to be.
The last time I saw Callum he was standing at the dormer window as I sat in the back seat of a car.
His dark eyes foreign to me.
The hatred that radiated from his glare shot through me with more force than a silver bullet.
In a matter of minutes he had become a stranger.
No longer my best friend.
He was now a boy with a hollow heart who was headed down a dark path.
A path I knew I'd never cross again.
Or, so I thought.
Callum
We had a deal-always stay together.
The day Bella left, I vowed I would find her. And when I did, she would feel what I felt as I watched her pull away into a new life, with a new family.
Leaving me behind to endure a life that was wrapped inside the hands of a monster.
It's been twelve years, but I've finally found her.
Now it's time for her to bask in the darkness she's created inside of me.
