Beyond His Evil

Chapter Thirty Five

" Devon !!! ".
My screamed pierced through the night.

He didn't show up. Breathing heavily, I screamed his name again, and he appeared. I didn't see him, but I felt his presence behind me.

"Kira", he whispered from behind me.

My hands clentched to fists, as I turned to face him.

He wasn't wearing the clothes I saw him on earlier. He had changed to a simple shirt, and jeans. His hair was messy, his eyes stormy, and he looked like hell.
There were so many emotions swirling in his crimson eyes, I didn't bother myself to identify any. I wondered what he saw in mine.

Hunters and humans were far from where we were, that was the main reason I had come here to call him, so we could have privacy.

We stared at each other for a while. No one said a word, maybe we were waiting for each other to speak, maybe there was so much to say, or  maybe we didn't know what to say at all.

"Kira ", he whispered my name again.

I looked away from him, and shut my eyes. He had a way of calling my name. Like he needed me, like I was important ... like maybe he felt what I felt for him.

"Kira please look at me".
I didn't want to, but I still found myself opening my eyes, and turning them to him.

"I'm sorry", he said.
"I didn't mean to hurt you Kira. I would never hurt you".

I didn't respond, even though tears began to film my eyes, and my chest constricted painfully.

"You mean too much to me", he continued, and surprised me by dropping to his knees.
" I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry". He lowered his gaze to the ground.
"Please forgive me. I need you, I need you more than anything Kira ", he then looked up at me. His crimson eyes held so much emotion.

Tears rolled down my cheeks. This was all too much. He was wrecking me.

"I need you Kira ", he repeated.

"Why ?", I asked. I didn't recognize my own voice.

His eyes held mine.
" I love you".

I love you 

I stepped away from him, and clamped a hand over my mouth to keep my tears at bay.

He loved me. Such a beautiful, and perfect lie.

" I love you Kira ", he repeated .

Something inside me snapped, and shattered. I started clapping.

He frowned as confusion took over his features.

"Just stop !", I clapped, "Wow. You know for a minute, I almost believed you just like I always have. You are such a great actor ", I gave him a small bow.

"Kira what ... ".

"Is that what they asked you to say to me ? ".

His frown got deeper, and he stood.
"Kira what are you talking about?".

I wiped away my tears.
"Is this what the vampires sent you here for Devon ? Don't you dare pretend you don't know what I'm talking about".

I had faith, I had hoped with every fibre of my being that Rya was wrong, but the expression on his face confirmed everything. He was working for them.

His eyes turned cold, "What did Rya tell you ?".

I broke inside. It was really true .

He started to come close to me, and I pulled out the dagger I had hidden in my hoodie.
