Paris's POV:

It's been a long time since I placed Richard in that jar... So long it's around the year 1495. He hasn't been successful on healing his stone... With all that I've tried on purifying... giving him love and attention... Nothing has worked. I eyed over his jar as I finished our song. It's time to just bring him back. I tried and he's been so resistant. I don't know what else to do but bring him back and... face him in his natural form. He's probably going to kill me.... maybe I deserve it. I eyed the jar over and sniffled. "Why won't you just heal?" I asked him and grabbed the jar quickly. I broke it over the piano and grabbed his stone as it fell into my lap. I bit down into my wrist and gave him the blood as I moved us into the floor- waiting on him to come back to me. Maybe I can convince him this time.... that I did it for love... for us. I felt his stone pulse in my hand, quickly heating up as it burned me and made me drop him. He formed on the ground after a few minutes and groaned as he regained consciousness, rolling onto his side as he hissed. I saw his pretty black hair look shinier than before, his features seeming better than I had remembered. His very scent called out to me, screaming he was my mate, and it made my stone pulse as he curled up and rubbed at his chest in a daze. R-Richard. I let a small gasp slip my lips before I crawled over to him and got on top of him. My love! I leaned down towards his neck and bit down into him- marking him quickly to help him realize how much I loved him. I pulled back as soon as I did it and looked down at him. "I love you," I whispered to him softly. He looked up at me then frowned before he gave a sharp growl and narrowed his eyes, bolting upright and forcing us to sit up.

"You," he hissed, glaring at me in rage. "How could you?!" I yelped and moved out of his lap quickly.

"R-Richard I thought you loved me," I whispered. He clenched his jaw and got to his feet, glaring me down.

"I did love you, but you betrayed me! YOU LET THAT MAN TORTURE ME WHEN I TOLD YOU NO, WHEN I BEGGED YOU FOR HELP! You didn't listen to me, Paris! You did all of that for yourself! HOW COULD YOU?! I've done nothing but love you for the last hundreds of centuries! I've always been there for you, and I killed our parents for us, but you," he growled out and exposed his fangs, shaking his head with a heartbroken look. "How could you...." I could see the rage boiling in his eyes as he looked me over before he turned away from me and hissed. "I can't believe this is the kind of mate you are, Paris. I thought you were different." His footsteps started to echo on the floor as he started for the door. "I'm not sticking around with someone who would betray my love and trust like that." I eyed him over and let out a shaky breath. He's leaving me?

"Where are you going?" I asked softly and got to my feet quickly and went for him. "R-Richard you're not going to leave me- are you? I mean- I b-brought you back and everything. I- I love you," I whispered as I grabbed his hand. "Don't go." He whirled around and hissed at me.

"Don't touch me," he snarled. "Where were you when I needed you, Paris? Where were you when I was screaming for your help?! You could have done so many other things than that! You did what you thought was better for you," he hissed then yanked his hand away from me. "You never once considered me!" He looked me over then shook his head as he clenched his jaw and balled up his hands, his body rigid.

"This isn't just about you," I whispered and started to tremble a little. "Why can't you see that this was about us? That little bit of torture is nothing compared to eternity. Don't walk away from me." He glared at me then opened the door.

"I'm very well aware," he hissed then walked out of the room. "But what's eternity if I can't even trust my partner?! You can stay away from me, Paris! You knew this would happen when you brought that evil man here, and you went through with it anyways!" He slammed the door behind him then stormed down the hall, muttering under his breath in anger. I frowned and went after him. I'm not going to let him leave!
