His Hollow Heart

Bella

A pact made.

Two orphans who vowed to never part.

I was selfish-for once, I had to be.

The last time I saw Callum he was standing at the dormer window as I sat in the back seat of a car.

His dark eyes foreign to me.

The hatred that radiated from his glare shot through me with more force than a silver bullet.

In a matter of minutes he had become a stranger.

He was no longer my best friend.

He was now a boy with a hollow heart who was headed down a dark path.

A path I knew I'd never cross again.

Or, so I thought.

Callum

We had a deal-always stay together.

The day Bella left, I vowed I would find her. And when I did, she would feel what I felt as I watched her pull away into a new life, with a new family.

Leaving me behind to endure a life that was wrapped inside the hands of a monster.

It's been twelve years, but I've finally found her.

Now it's time for her to bask in the darkness she's created inside of me.
