PHOEBE
Phoebe sighed and looked back at the fire, unsure what to tell him. ”I am aware.
My first boyfriend died too.” she said dryly. He wasn’t the first person to experience something like this, nor would he be the last. That he should somehow have the leeway to hold onto it forever in ways others did not have the luxury to was ridiculous. ”That’s an odd thing to say for someone who regular asserts that he knows exactly who and what he is.” she said pointedly.
”I don’t know why either. It’s a stupid thought.” she said. His arrogant selfishness was beginning to grate on her nerves. How had she not noticed it before? Or was it the blight and her exhaustion making her less patient than usual? But he finally apologized for not fighting for her, and she looked back over at him, still frowning a bit at him. ”If you were really sorry, you would leave Lusea and fight for me now. But you already said you won’t.”

When dark creeps in and eats the light
Bury your fears on sorry night
For in the winter's darkest hours
Comes the feasting of the Vours
No one can see it, the life they stole
Your body's here but not your soul
