"I never asked you to carry me Daemon. We just need to find some where dark that I can sleep in for a while, preferably outside of town where I'm less likely to have people trying to kill me." Mirage took a few steps trying to mentally block the pain that was tearing through her head. "And Daemon, you will maintain your distance or die. Your choice."

I will always be your friend I know who you are inside I am with you till the end Never far behind Just making sure.
I remarked, smiling to myself. The longer we spent together, the more I loosened up. The more I, dare I say it, opened up. Though I wasn't so sure I was having the same effect on Mirage. In fact, from what I could discern, she was drifting further and further away from me. A far cry from the memories of our days in the revenge.
I laughed as I remember back then. I She'd smelled like roses, I always made note of that. I used to leave a rose on her bed every morning. I don't think she ever did find out. And, more then anything, I remembered the kiss... that almost was. Funny, that. A guy like me who likes to flirt so much, never kissed a girl. OK, maybe it's not that odd, but I know some people see it that way.
I stopped behind Mirage, looking her up and down. She didn't seem to physically different then the girl I'd liked back then, but her emotion, her personality, were different. This wasn't my Mira.
I'm sorry.
I am standing in the distance You can take your time and I will be here waiting Never far behind

"For what Daemon, betraying me or breaking my heart?" Mirage asked bitterly. That memory still stung her painfully. She had thought she had forgotten it, but now that she was once more walking beside Daemon, the memory of almost having kissed him, and having been quite good friends with him and loosing all of that was unbearable. "I died the day they captured you, and then only to find out that you betrayed me, I thought you loved me," Mirage said, her voice barely above a whisper. She felt an unwanted tear fall down her cheek. I mustn't let him see that it still hurts, that I do remember how it once was. But that's all changed now.

Good feelings gone.
Why can't you just accept the apology?
I sighed, running my hand through my hair.
Why can't you just... let it go? By the gods, you sure do hold a grudge. Can't it just be enough I'm sorry? Can't we just leave at that? I was a total jerk, I was a traitor, I killed people. I betrayed you, your love, your feelings, I betrayed our friends, our family, our cause. I was an idiot. What more do you want? Just... accept the apology already. I can't go back in time and change anything. People love each other, and then they don't. They're nice memories, Mira. I've held them close to me for a long time, and maybe that's my mistake. Neither of us are the same people anymore.
I blurted it all out in a fit, gradually fading from rage to exhaustion to an emotion I didn't really like. I just felt like... letting go. Of leaving the Queen's Army, of fading back into nothing, away from this word and it's petty, annoying troubles. Shouldn't we all be above this? These pointless squabbles, over jewels no one really cared about?
I'm just... sorry, ok?

"Because I thought you actually loved me enough to not betray us all and I was wrong. I don't know if I can even trust you now. I loved you, and you threw it all away when you betrayed me. I never wanted to loose that Daemon!" Mirage was yelling by the end of it, and had burst into tears.

Don’t know who to trust No surprise Everyone feels so far away from me Heavy thoughts sift through dust And the lies
Well you were wrong, ok? You were dead wrong!
The yelling came unchecked, I was beyond caring who heard my voice, who listened in on the words.
Don't trust me, trust me, I don't give a freaking gods' blessing, ok?! You lost it, you lost my love, now you have to decide what the heck you want to do about it. Don't expect me to stand here quietly and accept your abuse and accusations.
I yelled right back, my fists clenching tighter and tighter, my gauntlets digging into my palms. Tanin remained wisely silent, wisely in the back of my mind. He knew when to stop meddling, when to leave things to me, no matter how badly I could, or rather, would, screw them up.
I won’t trust myself with you I won’t waste myself on you

"I thought I knew you Daemon," Mirage hissed, her eyes narrowing dangerously as she began to circle him. "I thought maybe I had found some one who could help me sift through my nightmares, but I was wrong. I admit that, but I wasn't the one who betrayed everyone and threw it all away."

So you weren't, so why does it bother you so much? Leave my issues to me, Mira.
I shot back, looking her up and down with suspicion. As she circled, I did to, sliding further out into the alley way for a better position for flight, or maybe even attack.
I could feel Tanin's blood lust seeping through the barriers in my mind. Even if he did enjoy Mira's presence, it was hard for him to give up the chance of a battle. I could feel him trying, but like claws his urges to attack filtered through my mind. Subtle orders, perhaps.
I've got enough nightmares of my own to sift through, thank you.

"It bothers me because I loved you, and part of me wants to still love you! I thought you cared for me, but you are just like everyone else that I've ever trusted. A liar." With that Mirage stalked away from him, leaving Daemon so that she could sit somewhere in a dark corner and think about what had just happened.

I clenched my fists, grinding me teeth together as she walked away. I wasn't going to yell taunts at her back, it was pointless, but I couldn't keep it all in, I couldn't....
I screamed out at her, punching my fist into the wall. I wasn't sure if the cracking sound I heard was the wall or my hand, but I didn't care. The rage hid whatever pain I was supposed to be feeling, and with a growl I stalked off in the opposite direction.
Sliding down the wall, I let out a few long, ragged breaths, glimpsing Mirage out of he corner of my eye. Surely there was some better place I could be, someplace where I could escape my past. Everyone moment I spent with her reminded me of things I'd done, and it wasn't helping she insisted on bringing them all up, either.

Mirage wandered down the street till she found a dark alley. She looked around to make sure that no one was lurking in the shadows and slipped into the alley, becoming one with the night. Mirage looked up into the night skies, once more the tears began to fall. She heard a calming, quiet voice in her head. Forgive him; he's different. The old Daemon would have never admitted to that. He's really sorry. A harsh voice, the shade's voice said, no! Kill him, like you killed your father. He deserves to die. Every moment you delay killing him is another moment of pain and torment for you. "Go away, both of you! I just want to think on my own. Just leave me alone," Mirage moaned. She grew weary of these two entities battling inside of her soul. She just wanted to think for herself, or maybe these two entities were the two sides of her, the shade being what she was becoming, the elf who she might have been. Mirage was so confused. All she knew was hatred by this point, but what she wanted to know was love. The shade was back. You're a murderer, there can be no love for you. You have no happily ever after, just the long and empty road ahead of you. Forget Daemon, he doesn't matter. The elf screamed at the shade. She has a choice. She can change the direction of her life if that is what she chooses. Forgive him Mirage, it's the right thing to do. Release the hatred, and you will be set free. Mirage sank to the ground; her hands clenched into fists. She could feel her nails breaking through the skin; blood rising and flowing from these wounds. She didn't care. She pulled out a dagger and looked down at it. She had lost count of how many lives she had ended with just a single stab or swipe of that blade. She stood up once more and sheathed the blade. She raised her eyes to the midnight sky and let out an inhuman scream of rage, pain, hatred, and anguish. The shriek cut through the night sky like the sharp blade of a double edged sword. Mirage crumpled to the ground; the pain of her migraine overcoming all other pain as she lapsed into a state of unconsciousness.

ooc:((heh, I just found the comparison of Mirage's and Daemon's "demons" very... interesting... Dunno if I really got that feeling across here, though ><. I think he came out just sounding emo...))
She moved beyond my vision, and I felt a wave of freedom role over me as I let out my bated breath. I ran my hands through my hair, leaving them to hold it as thoughts ran rampant through my dazed and upset mind. This entire things was screwed up beyond belief, and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to fix it, to mend these broken, burning bridges.
I pulled my mask off, taking even deeper breaths to calm the last of my rage. By body shook with each inhale, the motion become hypnotic as I ceased caring about the world around me. Someone could have walked up and punched the crap out of me, and I wouldn't even flinch, My thoughts were deep inside myself, else where, waiting, calling...
...
I could feel him waiting, slowly edging from the black as an answer to my pleading.
What am I supposed to do?
I... don't know. He replied honestly, quite and reserved. I could tell he really was lost, and that didn't help me any.
I rolled my head back, closing my eyes and staring up at the black sky. It didn't offer my any answers, either, just more plaguing questions which dogged the edge of my aware mind. Screams broke the spell for a moment, drawing my head in the direction of their eerie echo.
Daemon? Soft, but urgent. Daemon... you need stand up... you need to get moving...
I rose slowly, shuffling down the alleyway as I wrapped my coat closed, holding it with numb hands as a bitter wind whipped at my back. And there she was, laying on the ground like a sack of flour.
... You like doing this to me, don't you?

Mirage shivered as she began to regain consciousness a while later. She had no idea how long she had been lying there, but her migraine was gone, for now at least. She groaned and slowly moved so that she was lying on her back. Mirage bumped into something and moved her head so that she could see what it was. She panicked and reached for her dagger when she saw that it was a man's boot. She moved to a crouching position and looked up into the man's face. She didn't recognize him, and she had no idea as to how long he had been near her.

Put down the knife, Mirage, I really hope you don't think you could cut me in your condition.
I sighed, nudging her with my boot to see how stable she was. She obviousely had hit her head to have pulled a knife on me, it's not like she could have forgotten me that quickly. I mean, really...
You're an idiot.
I shook my head with a sigh, not bothering to replace my mask. What was the use, anyway? She'd just have to get used to it.
Now stand up already.

Mirage stood up, but she did not sheath her dagger. She backed away slowly. The voice sounded like Daemon, but the man wasn't wearing a mask, and unless he had taken his mask off, there was no way Mirage was putting her dagger away. "Prove to me you're Daemon and I'll put the dagger away," Mirage hissed. Her head hurt; she was panicking, and she couldn't tell if this was Daemon. I'm having a wonderful day, she thought with obvious sarcasm. Soon she found herself thing about the man in front of her who greatly resembled Daemon. Wow! he's cute....
