Nights of Fire & Ash

I draw my sword and stare him directly in the eyes, those eyes that I used to find so entrancing.
"How can you stand there and tell me you love me?" I barked at him. "You betrayed me. You let me think that some monster did it, when it was you?"
I was practically sobbing. He drew his own blade.
"Raeva, I love you. I did it for us. You didn't know how much they were going to drag you down. I saw the potential in you, to become something more." I took in his posture, his shoulders, his flexing jaw muscles.
"They didn't. I wasn't going to go back as far as they knew. I could have stayed with you. You didn't even think about me. You're so selfish! Not even that, you're a murderer!" I took a preemptive step towards him. If he was going to die on this hill, then so be it.
"Let me love you, Raeva. Let me give you the life you deserve! I love you!" His dark, deep chocolate eyes pleaded.
"Never again." I muttered. Then, I raised my sword and struck him.
