"I can't." I choke out my words as tears streamed down my face.

"You know this was bound to happen soon, better now than later, we can't run forever, Lia." He murmurs against my hair as he hugs me to him. "It's inevitable and you know that." He pulls back from me and takes a step back, his own voice cracking, "You promised. Do it."

"I love you." I sob. Clutching to any hope that may be left, but I find none.

Tears filled his own eyes but I knew he wouldn't let them fall, thinking it'd only render me weaker, "I love you."

2082, Alastair.

Megabuildings, neon filled streets, a kaleidoscope of colors.

A city of both dreams and nightmares.

All hiding the evil underneath.

A word loosely thrown around, evil, it had many forms and shapes, it was at most, what ran through the mega corporation "Daemon".

On the other side, "BioTec", perhaps where all the good lies to balance out the evil.

Ophelia and Hale. Strangers at first, their objective only one, but betrayal, love and hurt finds them along the way.

Unfortunately for them, betrayal has it's fair price in the new world.
