Xara's POV.

My cheek was pulsing in pain as I felt hot blood rush towards the injured side of my face. My body started to tremble, and something crushed my lungs, taking away my every ability to breathe. I gasped for air, trying very hard not to feel like there was water instead of air.

Romeo's shushed apologies were muffled, yet they only made my weak, barely existing flame of rage light up brighter. Pain brought even more wood it could gnaw on, and for the first time in that week I felt strong. I felt dangerous.

"Sorry!" My friend exclaimed and put his hand on my shoulder. The spot he touched immediately began to burn in pain and the walls of self-control shook inside me at the feeling. "I-I'm so sorry, I..."

In less than a moment I whipped around and my fist came in harsh contact with his jaw. The guy yelped and wobbled, pressing his hand to his mouth and gazing at me with fear in his eyes. But it wasn't real. Of course it wasn't. Now I knew better than anything.

A silent sob coming from him was all it took for all the fury inside me to explode like a creeper. He was crying now?! Of all times, this is the one he had chosen to-to manipulate me?! I could see everything now... He had never been kind to me! He had never shown me his true colours other than now! He... All this time he was manipulating me into saving him from that doctor!

"You snake." I gasped as the heavy realisation crashed on me. My body was trembling even more now, but I didn't notice, didn't even pay attention. All my thoughts were about was how good of a trickster my... My enemy was.

"I-I..." He began, and the sound of his voice was like acid on my skin. I yelled and punched him again, this time right under his eye. The man fell like a doll, foolishly gazing at me from the floor.

"Shut up." I whispered and then said louder, so loudly that the whole world was supposed to hear the pain in my voice: "SHUT UP!"

The idiot was about to say something again when a kick in his ribs successfully made him go completely silent. I brushed my fingers through my hair nervously, not even noticing some of my hairs falling out. No way. No. Way.

I have been fooled. Fooled by the only person who I knew could easily trick me! The only person I should've known better than to trust, the only person who knew me so much that playing me was as easy for him as cooking!

He... He slapped me. I bit her lip and felt my cheek burn in pain, both fear and rage making my heart pace quicken. He had never changed after all... Even after all this time he was still a jerk who would abuse me just for fun! Just-just another bastard much like his beloved Warden! And to think that I might have started to view him as my closest friend... My soulmate... Maybe even something more...
