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.  

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.
