The Princess And The Demon

"What you loved my fair lady, was an illusion" Eren said his voice as soft as his smile, his sad eyes locked with her angry ones, "what you loved was an image, of the charming young man you read about in books, the one to fill the emptiness of your life, you loved a version i showed you, a version that is not me... "

He looked at the horizon, the soft smile still on his lips, "Tell me, do you love me now, a vicious demon who has no limits, who will do anything to get what he wants, someone hateful and evil, someone ugly, do you love me? the real me?" he looked down at her again, the lost look in her eyes pained him, as if she is only realizing it now, and too afraid to tell him that she hated his guts...

"You don't need to answer Sara, i already know..."

"And what now?" Sara asked after what seemed to be ages of waiting and hesitation, so many words were stuck on her throat, but she could never voice them out...

"Now, it is goodbye..." her eyes widened as if he was going to kill her, "Now, go back to your father, to your old life, stay in the shack until the war is over, no matter the result, you will be safe in there, i already filled your stock with some necessary food and water, they should be enough..." he paused for a while to admire her eyes that he loves so much, "Just promise me one thing, promise me you will try to forget, that you will live your life, and try to be happy, no, you must be happy, you must be safe, as. for me, i promise i'll stay away from your path, as well as my people, we will never cross your way again..." he said putting her on the floor, her legs were shaky at first, but she managed to stabilize herself with the help of his arms...she opened her mouth to say anything, but he stopped her by placing his fingers on her soft bloody lips...

"Don't say anything, just go, your father might be in danger, you need to go to him"

He watched as her eyes dilated in fear, this girl, no matter how much pain and agony she is in, always thinking about others, her ability to love was unlimited, he mocked himself, wishing he was the man she loved, wishing he kept pretending, just to see such love in her eyes toward him...but it was all over now...

Just as she turned and was about to run to the shack, Eren pulled her back again, his lips slammed on hers hungrily, kissing all his regrets, his sadness, his love, his missing, all the words he couldn't say, all resumed in a needing desperate final kiss, the sensation was intoxication Sara couldn't help but to m.o.a.n, out of surprise as well as uncertainty, once she parted her lips slightly to let out that delicious voice, he caught her lover lip, biting it slightly than s.u.c.k.i.n.g it for a while, before ending the kiss and before she could even realize what happened, Eren was gone....

Sara stood there in daze, not knowing what to feel, tears rolled on her cheeks, his name and words resonating in her mind...

After few minutes, she shook her tears away, now was not the time to think, now was the time to head home, to her father, to her life, to safety....
