can take you wherever and however you want.”
    “We can deal with this Eva.”
    “No… we can’t keep coming back to all this pain. You need to let me go,” I said injecting my voice with a strength I didn’t feel as I turned to bravely look at him.
    Did he know how much I concentrated on tuning out the sound of his heart pumping his precious blood? How delicious that sound was to me, how starved I was to consume him? At the same time, did he know how I valued his life? No, I had to get out of here… wanted him to the extreme.
    “Don’t call me by that name, it’s not even my name only a name you called me because you said everyone worshipped me. They saw me as a goddess or princess, but you… you said Eva fit me better because I would be your downfall… your forbidden. You were right don’t you see?” I laughed bitterly as I said, “We are forbidden to each other. After all these years of us being like this- it’s not getting better.”
    I walk away from him and move towards the elevator, but stop because of a thought that keeps harassing my mind.
    “And Darius, I don’t remember everything, but what I do remember… I rather not because whatever made me come after you to kill you can’t be good. The more I remember the more at risk we all are. I remember how I felt about you. How much I loved you, so forgive me if I’m not ecstatic wanting to dig up something that I’ve tried my hardest to forget.”
    I look for him and see he is sitting in a wrought iron bed. There are some bare pieces of furniture here. It all looks out of place. This underground cave is truly beautiful. I was fascinated by it ever since laying eyes on it when he walked us in. “What are your plans, do you think to keep me in here Darius?” I ask silkily because I know he moves so quickly. I didn’t want to delude myself with hopes of reaching the elevator only to come face to face with a realization I wouldn’t forgive him for. He would not trap me here.
    “If you mean to try and erase everything that happened between us, Eva… well then perhaps. You think I don’t know just how much you hunger for me, for my touch, yet you expect me to let you forget everything including the time we spent wanting, needing one another?”
    I couldn’t answer him. I wanted him so bad it was killing me.
    “I won’t let you run away because you still love me,” he says as he pierces me with his gaze.
    “`Don’t you see that we are at risk of losing more than each other, if we keep digging up the past? We both almost died! I’m sorry but I’m not willing to see you die right before my eyes,” I pleaded.
    “Eva, I don’t die so easily.”
    I refused to listen, “My mother was right you know? About love… love has been romanticized, but in reality all it brings is pain and regret. To truly love another is to lose oneself. It’s wrong… it goes against who we are.”
    “If you lose yourself to me and I to you, we are one in the same. There is no harm in love. Your mother is a cold, uncaring bitch who knows nothing of love, and she has done everything to shatter your confidence in it. I’m not who I used to be Eva, I’ve also changed. I can protect you from your fears, from him.”
    I looked at his beautiful body and then up at his eyes. I remembered how it lay shattered with marble fragments digging into his beautiful skin, immobile with so much pain in his gaze while my blood was being drained from me. I’ve never seen such acute pain in anyone’s eyes.
    I promised myself never to put that look in his eyes again, even if it meant giving him up. I knew he would hate me, but I could deal with his hatred if it meant he lived. I knew now I meant everything to him, and he was trying not to frighten me with the intensity of his feelings. He was practically begging me not to end us.
    But I needed to end this disease that was our love because it was eating at us both. He had to see reason. He had to let me go.
    So I said, “I don’t
