------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goddess. Lover. Bitch.
The words pounded in his head, echoing his stride down the hallway.
She deserved it for betraying him.
Fair skin now an unnatural pale.
The blue of the ocean washed from her eyes.
Silken hair turned to brittle straw.

Psyche. Lover. Friend.
His steps slowed - the pounding in his head eased.
She deserved it for betraying him.
Caresses remembered - the feel of her creamy skin under his hands, his
mouth.
Gazing into azure eyes - cats eyes - finding himself reflected there.
Tangling his fingers in her hair - spun gold - burying his face in the
cascade.

Partner. Lover. Confidant.
He stopped at the end of the hallway.
She deserved it for betraying him - didn't she?
Hers the first face he had seen when the silo doors opened.
Her eyes wild with rage when she'd found him mutilated in Russia.
Low voice crooning, cool hands caressing as his fever subsided.

Betrayal? Or nobler purpose?
It was all going to hell.
There was only one place he wanted to be.
He turned, racing back down the hallway.
Pushing the door open to an empty sterile room.
