"What?!" Darius exclaimed, horrified and hurt by her words. "But why?" he asked her.
------------------------------------------------------------
Calista just remained still in her beloved's arms, surrounded in what seemed to be an eternal darkness.

Rosalina remaind quiet for a moment, rehersing what she would say in her head before looking at Darius. "Its was great, when you were my protector, but now, well . . . you've become weak. And thats not what I need, not what I want. I'm grateful, for every thing, but I think its time I move on."

"So that's it?" Darius asked her. "I don't believe a word you are saying," he told her stubborn as he just gazed into her eyes.
------------------------------------------------------------
Cradling his beloved close, Gareth just rocked Calista's limp body in his arms. "My sweet and beautiful angel, what is happening to you?" he whispered as he pressed a light kiss to her pale forehead.

Darius just stared at Rosalina, a hurt expression in his eyes. "Very well," he said finally. "You may not love me any more, but I will always love you," he remarked before turning away.
------------------------------------------------------------
Holding her close, Gareth just talked to Calista, hoping that if he poured his heart out to her, she would hear him and find her way back to him.

Rosalina nodded. It killed her to see the hurt in his eyes. "Ok, let me get my things and then i shall go." she said. "Then you won't have anything to worry about."

"Very well," Darius said softly. "If that is your wish," he added, not looking at her.
------------------------------------------------------------
Calista just remained lifeless in Gareth's arms, giving no indication that she heard any of what he said.

Darius sighed as he followed her back in the house and watched Rosalina pack. "Please don't go," he said finally.
------------------------------------------------------------
Drawing her lifeless body against his, Gareth buried his face in her neck as he started to cry, no longer able to hold back his tears. "Please my love. Come back," he murmured against her skin.

Darius sighed softly. "So that's it?" he asked her. "After everything we have been through? You just want to walk away?"
------------------------------------------------------------
Calista just remained lifeless as Gareth's tears fell upon her skin, still trapped in a world of darkness.

"Ro, please, don't go. I love you," Darius pleaded, trying once more to stop her.
------------------------------------------------------------
Pulling back from Calista, Gareth brushed the tears from his eyes, although he still held his woman close. "Please beloved. Fight this," he pleaded with her.

"Ro, please wait!" Darius begged as he went after her. "Are you trying to kill me?" he asked her. "Because if you are, get a knife and get it over with," he told her. "I have no desire to live without you," he added softly.
------------------------------------------------------------
Gently stroking Calista's hair, Gareth just cradled the love of his life close.
