Grayson's brow furrowed and he stopped short of her, refusing to move any more. It sounded as if she was actually in physical pain because of what he was doing. He couldn't figure out why though. He reached up and ran and hand through his hair and then stared at her, "I...I don't want you Charity." He finally managed to say through clenched teeth. He turned away from her and crossed to a nearby tree. He balled up his fist and slammed it against the tree trunk in anger. Why was she making him do this? Why couldn't they just...be together?
"I don't want you. I've never wanted you. And I never will want you." His voice was small and timid and yet angry at the same time. So many layers to be pulled back.

Charity breathed a sigh. It burst, the pain in her chest to an unbearable height. She clenched her teeth and bit the inside of her cheek to keep from crying out.
It stayed that way for a moment, burning everything. It killed all the memories of how it felt to be kissed by him. Killed everything that made her want to run to him and fall into his arms. It was going to be alright.
"Thank you, Grayson." She muttered. If only it could erase the memories of how she had celt with him. Erase everything of Grayson. All you could do is erase the need and the feelings, not memories.
"I won't bother you again. I promise." Charity took a few steps back, managing to smile through her confusion.

"You're welcome. You're welcome..." Grayson almost growled. This hadn't been what he had wanted. At all. He just wanted her to be happy. But then he looked up and noticed the smile that was on her face. So that was it then. This is what really made her happy. He almost felt his voice catch in his throat, but he managed to push through as if nothing was wrong and this wasn't wrenching him apart.
"Good. I'll hold you to that promise, Ch-" He didn't finish her name, he just threw his fist into the tree again, letting off some bent up steam. He didn't bother to turn around again. He was already in emotion ruin. Seeing her leave him for good would be the final straw. She should just go back to the Dark Lord where she belonged. He was stupid to have thought that the two of them could have worked. A bloody American and Demon were never meant to be together.

Charity couldn't help it as she walked forward, grabbing Grayson's arm. She looked at him in concern. He had told her to go away, she wasn't supposed to disobey that. That was the things with Demons. They were under your control once they gave themselves to you. A perfect little pet, Marcus had called them. And, unnoticed, Charity had given her all for Grayson.
"Stop it. Self mutilation won't help you at all." Charity murmured as she dropped her hand and looked at him. "Don't do that."

Grayson looked down at his bloody fist and then over at Charity, "Why are you still here?" He muttered under his breath. She had clearly wanted to leave, and yet here she was, still pretending like she cared for him. His nostrils flared for a moment and he tried to regain composure before turning all the way around so that she could see him.
His eyes were slightly bloodshot, anger did that to him sometimes. He had run his hands through his hair, leaving it rumpled and awful looking. He touched his face with his bloody knuckle leaving a line of blood down his face. He shook his head, "Charity. You're going to give me whiplash." He finally said and squeezed his eyes closed for just a moment so that he could think clearly, "What should I do then?"

Charity recoiled, putting a bit of space between them. She dropped her eyes to the ground, not wanting to look at him directly. It was possibly that she could fall back in love... again. None of them wanted that. Love complicated things.
"I don't know. Just not that. I don't like seeing you hurt..." Charity trailed off, pulling at the ends of her hair. She was acting like a first year talking to the boy she liked who had just got into a fight. She was an idiot.

Grayson stared at her for a long while, trying to figure out what she was up to. One minute she was pushing him away and telling him that she didn't want him to want her. The next minute, she just couldn't leave. She was picking at her hair and Grayson briefly wondered why all girls seemed to be fascinated by their hair-
He snapped out of the random train of thought and tapped his foot on the ground awkwardly, "The only reason I've stayed with Hecate is so that I can get you back, Charity. I know-" He put his hand up so that she wouldn't interrupt him, "I know that's not what you want to hear, but you deserve to know. The sooner that she can bring him down, the sooner you're free to-" He was going to finish with to be mine but the more that he thought about it, the more stalker-esque it sounded.

Charity paused, still looking at the ground. The wasn't good. Even by hearing it she was leaning towards him. She was trying to make him happy although she didn't want to. Or did she? She wasn't sure.
"But, Grayson, I'm a... Demon..." Charity paused, trying to find the courage to look up. She almost had it but she lost it quickly. "You have to know what that means. Have to know what happens? Haven't you read The Dummies Guide to Dating a Demon?" Charity made a weak attempt as she looked up, finally. She couldn't meet his eyes so she looked over his shoulder.

"Demon. Angel. Call it what you want." Grayson said and came into her proximity again, losing all sense of right and wrong at this point. He just knew that he needed to be near her. To know what she was thinking. What she was feeling. He ran his hand through her hair for a moment. He looked down into her eyes as he spoke, "Unfortunately, The Dummies Guide to Dating a Demon wasn't on my assigned reading and it was all booked up at the library. Lockheart's Dances with Demons was the only book that I could find on the subject...and let me tell you, he was anything less than insightful." Grayson smiled slightly, his attempt at humor much weaker than hers.

Charity met his eyes for a moment before she shut them tight. She bit her lip, debating on opening them again but struck it out right away. "We aren't angels. Not even close."
"Right, then you don't know our number one law. No falling in love. Ever. It has the ability to kill us." Charity commented, wanting to pull away from Grayson but knowing she'd hurt him if she did. She wasn't supposed to hurt him. She was supposed to protect him. That was what you did with your mate. Were there for them. Protected them.

"Kill you?" Grayson asked, his brow furrowing deeper as he stared at her, "Charity, what do you mean, love can kill you?" He put his hands on her arms and held her at arms length. This was all news to him. He had now idea how the demon universe worked, nor was he exactly sure what a demon was. Of course there was the obvious, a devil sent to act as a tormentor, but that didn't exactly fit Charity. Well, at least not the Charity that he knew. She was different, She had a softer side, you just had to dig for it.
"Is there a book I can read? I feel like that might be a little more beneficial." He said with a forced smile. He was so confused. What had he gotten himself into?

Charity opened her eyes and looked at him. She shook her head sadly. She didn't know everything, obviously. She only knew what Marcus had told her. "Marcus told me that it hurts us. That nothing good comes out of it. He told me that it gives that person the power to hurt you and you can't do a thing to stop it because you don't want to hurt them. He told me that people make demons fall in love with them just so they can kill them or take them as slaves. The only way to make it stop is to tell them they want you anymore." Charity stopped to take a breath. Nobody really knew. Ever since Marcus had put the law in place they never thought about it.
"Well of course there are...books of some sort. But they're more scrolls. Also, they're in Demonic. Good luck trying to read them." She laughed and bit her lip, still feeling a little scared around Grayson.

"Marcus?" Grayson immediately tensed up. He had seen Lauren hanging around Marcus like a love-sick puppy dog. Although he didnt necessarily like Lauren, he thought of her as a close personal friend, and this was starting to hit a little too close to home. His eyes widened a little as he thought more about the situation. What was Marcus playing at here? He shook off the thought, that was for another time, "So you think that I'm going to take you as a slave? Is that why you want me to let you...free?" He asked and then shook his head.
"Charity that makes know sense. I didn't even know you were a demon until a few hours ago!" He ran a hand through his hair and then rocked back slightly on his heels as a nervous tick.

Charity worked her mouth, trying to find the right words. "I don't know that, though. Marcus says that sometimes human play dirty. They lie in order to get us close and then sink their claws into us. They say humans are the worst. That if we ever fall in love with one... we should just kill ourselves to save the suffering." Charity choked off. She bit her lip again, looking down. Charity picked at the elastic around her wrist and snapped it.
Marcus had given it to her so she could control her anger. Marcus was a good man.

"Look at me Charity." Grayson practically commanded and forced her gaze up with his free hand. His eyes bore into hers, trying to figure out what she was trying to do. Did she want to die? Did she want to be left alone? It seemed as if he was asking himself the same questions over and over again, expecting a different answer, "Do you honestly think that I would play you like that? I've been fighting to protect you since we met. Do you remember that day? You and-" He choked on Haylee's name. It was still hard for him to grasp that Charity's daughter was gone, "your daughter were playing. You seemed so happy in that moment."
