A Friend, a Lover, a Foe.

A foe - Chapter 3

He stood closer and closer. And finally. This time as his breath pierced her's, he began to fade and vanish into thin air.

But was it him who disappeared?

Was not she the one who drew back completely leaving him all alone in the world?

But she was alone as well, wasn't she?

Love was her joy and dismay all at once, for she let him go.

She had to let him go. To leave him was the hardest choice of her life. Thus she drew back, before he would fall in love with her to such an extent that she'd toxify him.

But only she knew this.

The love was like falling from a building. She looked down to see the ending. Shores of fear swept over her yet she stepped off with no hesitation and began to float in thin air. She floated for so long, that she enjoyed the wind against her body until she fell. She fell hard to the ground.

They both fell so hard only to be left by themselves.

But in the end she knew that he deserved happiness, so she left.

And in the end, she was her own enemy. The enemy of the mortal instruments; her heart and mind, which were in conflict.

And in the end, she was her own foe.
