Poison

"what do you want me to go?" she snapped out the question

[***Stormchaser***]

"I don't want to keep causing you pain." He replied.

[~Amber~]

"you caused the most you could have by telling me you killed the only family i had left Damien you do realize that dont you." she said putting her face in her hands

[***Stormchaser***]

"Yes I do realize that and I don't expect forgiveness especially since the only regret I have about it is that it hurt you. Hate me for taking him from you, but don't expect me to have any speck of compassion for someone who has destroyed lives and hurt many." He responded, leaving out the fact that he had three people and eight animals hidden in his lab he was testing on, half of them were blind and all in need of medical treatment.

[~Amber~]

she looked away from him "you dont have to have compassion for him just have it for me..."

[***Stormchaser***]

"I guess you haven't heard a word I've said regarding how I feel about you. That's okay. Do what you want, I never expected you to care after knowing everything anyways." He replied while getting up and heading inside.

[~Amber~]

"this is what im talking about when i said compassion, the way you say things then you just walk away from me!" she started crying and ran into the woods which were dark as night now

[***Stormchaser***]

"Ah geez." He said with a sigh, quickly running after her and scooped her up into his arms and turned back, heading back to the house. "Don't do that. This place isn't safe."

[~Amber~]

"I dont care put me down!" she cried trying to get herself out of his arms

[***Stormchaser***]

He didn't even flinch or respond immediately, just continued walking until they were back out of the forest, "If you want to run off then run off down the street into town or something, not into a forest. I'm sorry I'm not some super social, nice guy alright? I've spent my childhood in a cage being torn up and poked at like a slab of meat and the rest of it cooped up with the same people training to survive, fight and protect. Social skills and everything that goes with it did not come into play well, people around me are lucky I manage to bring myself to speak or interact with anything that isn't trying to kill me. I try alright? Being social is not and will never be, my forte, I upset someone I think the best thing for them is to be away from me so I walk away."

[~Amber~]

"you cant just walk away from a girl..." she was quiet but the tears were still coming "if you took the time to sit and talk through something you might be more normal okay."

[***Stormchaser***]

"Yes because I am so incredibly normal and the unhinged way I grew up did not leave any mental, emotional and social damage at all. If you haven't taken any psychology or sociology classes then you'll never have any understanding as to why I can't "just do" something. Telling someone like me to "just sit and talk" is like telling you to "just jump" if you want to go to the moon." He replied.

[~Amber~]

"well you should try it...." she mumbled

[***Stormchaser***]

"What do you think I have been doing? If I am speaking more than one sentence then I am trying. You've heard me speak more than people who have known me for years and seen me on a daily basis." He answered, sounding very tired, it was true, he rarely spoke usually and it was mentally draining with how hard he had been trying lately. He set her down once back in the yard and sat in a chair on the porch with his head on the table.

[~Amber~]

"why do you try so hard for me?" she questioned
