This is Goodbye

*Dayton* · 07-28-2014, 07:07 AM

There was no fighting back, no argument to be had. But somehow Dayton imagined that would have been a more merciful way to go. An angry goodbye, something that would reassure him of his right decisions. Perhaps even a fight to tear his heart away from this wonderful home. But not this. Anything but this. Dayton felt his heart bleeding again, as if it had any blood left, when he heard Roman's reply. She would not forgive him, but she would let him go. Wishing him well in his pursuits as she began to turn away. Some of the pain could have been erased then and there, had she simply turned and walked away as if the brute meant nothing at all to her. But then she paused, and her brilliant eyes gave one last look. Then his beautiful queen was gone.

Dayton felt a rush of air leave his body as she vanished, and he began to breathe rapidly in and out. His heart was breaking again, if that was possible. But he had to leave now. The doors were open, and he had to run before he changed his mind.

So the small brute took off, sprinting as fast as he could through the red forest, past the waterfall, leaving all of it in a blurry wake. You would think that as the air whipped past his face it would dry his tears. But destiny hated him, so why would it spare him of that humiliation? Dayton tried not to let the sobs leave his chest as he passed unceremoniously over the border of Tortuga. He was never looking back again.
