K'tanya Demonstar

It had gone on long enough. K’tanya had known this for a while, but she had turned a blind eye to that fact, not wanting to admit it was over. However she had spent quite a bit of time thinking about it while trying to relax in her tropical paradise.

She still loved him, in her own way. However as much as it hurt she needed to face the fact that he just didn’t feel the same, and nothing she did was going to change that simple truth.

It was time to talk Aidan, and then finally let him go.

She woke before the sun.

Slipping into a swimming suit and sarong, she decided to take a walk along the beach. Soon she lost track of time, and early morning turned to mid-afternoon.

Eventually she started back to the bungalow, and she noticed a couple having a picnic near the water. Their horse was resting nearby under some palm trees.

She couldn’t resist wandering over to the animal and lightly scratching its forehead. It whickered softly, and she smiled as she gave it a bit more attention. Then she left the horse and couple to their moment in the sun.

K’tanya sighed heavily as she looked at one of her traveling companions. "Why are we doing this again?"

Archimedes, now in his human form so as not to scare people, cocked his head slightly. "I think a better question is why are you making me do it with you."

"Because if he’s going to make me suffer, then you have to suffer too."

The griffin sighed. "You could have said no."

"Yes, but I’m trying to change, and Adam says this helps build character. What do you think?"

Archimedes snorted softly. "I think flying by plane is for the birds."

Sometimes the memories would hit her with the force of a freight train. They often caught her off guard, as she was used to being the one who caused heartbreak and not the one being broken, but it had happened once.

When the memories took over, there was really only one thing she could do. She found herself a penthouse suite in Memphis, ordered fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches from room service, and spent a weekend drinking in the sounds of the man who had broken her heart as no other man ever could.

She would always love him.
