“I don’t know what to tell you really.”
“Tell me what?” She said while looking at me with the eerie glint of ruby in her eyes.

I looked at her with the utmost intense fear and interest. It was as if there was something that her eyes were saying while her mouth was moving at the same time. The vibrations from her vocal chords just reverberating from almost every nook and cranny of my head.

“That I at once liked you”
She scoffed “Yeah right. The only thing you wanted was a piece of the merchandise and then walk away jolly. But then again, if your so consumed so as to still want to do me, despite being what I am now…”

A slight pulsing glint of ruby started in one of her eyes to the beat of every syllable of her words.

And it was for the first time in my existence that I started to hate her for those words – just genuinely hate her.
