Reaper of Pain

Chapter Ten

Kat's POV*******

          I haven't seen Ruvel since I saw the mark on his hand. Why does he hide things from me? I was trying to figure out why I cared so much. I was trying to figure out why he hides from me. My thoughts were starting to get so cramped in my head I started thinking out loud. "Why does he do this?" I pace back and forth, probably bothering my neighbors. "It's like he puts a wall up around me?" 

BANG!!!

        I turn my head quickley to my bed room door and I see Diaval standing over by my door. "Shoot!" Diaval turns and looks at me with suspicion all over his face.

        "What are you doing here? Ruvel told me to stay away from you."

        Diaval starts walking towards me with a smirk on his face. "Why do you listen to what he says? I was the one that made you move. I'm the one who stole a kiss from your lips, not him." The smirk on his face was all rage. He was listing thinks he did and Ruvel didn't and in the middle he started screaming.

        "I listen to him because..." I had no idea why I listen to Ruvel. I started getting all embarrased thinking about him. What is going on with me today? I started pacing again when Diaval reached out and grabbed my shoulders. 

        "Is it possible that you may love him?" Diaval stares at me. I look him in the eyes and what he said had seemed to hit me like a bullet. When Diaval saw my awed gaze he let me go and looked at the ground. "So that's it..."

        Diaval mumbled so quietly that I barely heard what he said. "What's wrong, Diaval?" I reached out and touched his hand. I kind of gasped in shock. I expected his hand to feel cold, but instead it was warm. It was very comforting just like when Ruvel was holding me.

        "Huh?... Kat?" I stood there holding his hand staring at him. "Why are you holding my hand?"

        "I don't know. I guess I was just trying to cheer you up?" I look up at Diaval and smile. He looked at me in return but when he looked at me, I saw tears running down his cheek. "What's wrong? Diaval?" I took one of my hands and reached up to touch his face. I feel so close to him right now. This is weird, it's like I've lost it. As I'm almost inches away from his cheek I here another thud. But this time it's loud. And after wards I hear someone groan in pain.

        I look down at my hand where Diaval's used to be. Over where the thud happened I see Diaval on the floor, back leaning against the wall, with Ruvel over him holding his Syth to Diaval's throat. Ruvel's eyes look down at Diaval who was holding his shoulder. I look at the two of them in terror wondering what just happened.

        "Ruvel!? What are you doing?" Ruvel doesn't answer. "Ruvel! Look at me!" I suddenly feel my temper boil to the point where I can't help but scream. "Ruvel! Turn around and look at me! Answer me! What are you doing!" I saw Ruvel jump at my sudden out burst. He looks and me and I can't help but feel bad for what I see. "What happened, Ruvel?"
