Celly buried her face deeper into her pillow. Her sobs shook her body and the tears seemed to have no end. Kami-sama, Dion... she thought as her gut-wrenching cries left her feeling weak and disoriented. Dion... how could you? I loved you, I really did. And now I find out it's all just a lie!!! Celly sobbed harder, new tears forming. She just lay huddled on her bed, weeping for her lost love. She had lost everything.

Dion... iie... Dionysus, kisama... how could you do this to me? Kisama... kisama... kisama... you toyed with my emotions... you betrayed me... used me for your own ends...

Dionysus' words rang through her head over and over again.

"... remember all those times I said I loved you? Well, it was all a lie. I just said it because I enjoyed having a girl who didn't mind me coping a feel every now and then... remember all those times I said I loved you?... it was all a lie... I enjoyed having a girl... those times I said I loved you... all a lie... enjoyed having a girl... i said i loved you... all a lie... enjoyed having... i loved you... a lie... enjoyed... loved... lie... enjoyed..."

"Oh gods!!!" Celly cried out through her tears. The pain in her heart immobilized her. The shock was too much. All those times! All his sweet kisses! The loving embraces! No love at all! I was used! Like a common whore on the street! I'm so ashamed... I am truly disgraced now...

More memories...

"... Just be safe, itooshii... come back to me... be safe, itooshii... come back... itooshii... back..."

Celly's tortured mind pieced together all the information she had. All the times she had woken up alone... all the times Dionysus had mysteriously disappeared... all the times he had to apologized after she begged him for explaination... all the times he *didn't* attempt to explain himself, clouding her judgement with his kisses...

KISAMA!!! You did use me right from the beginning, didn't you?!? All those times and I never noticed... I was too busy acting like a love-sick puppy. I probably disgusted you. I fawned over you and then you would leave to laugh at me behind my back...

Celly tried to make herself feel angry at this injustice, but all she felt was a tired emptiness, as if her whole world had been destroyed before her eyes. The despair surrounded her and drowned her in waves of the darkest emotions... sadness... lonliness... despair... anger... betrayal... all of this because of *him*... the one that she thought she could trust in all the madness.

As Celly searched her soul in her grief, she could see the red thread of destiny that connected them. Her depression doubled. She reached out a trembling hand to finger the thread, feeling a slight wave of happiness from it. She was startled and became angry. Iie! Iie! This is a lie too! He doesn't love me! Love is a lie! Forcibly, she took the thread between her two hands and pulled in opposite directions.

The thread held for a while before snapping under the tension with the sound of breaking glass.

Celly's hands flew to her chest as she felt like something vital had been pulled out of her. She gasped in pain, more tears coming to her eyes. She wallowed in her own misery. The only consolation I get is that the bastard is probably feeling this pain too. Damn you, Dionysus... you deserve all the pain you get for what you did to me.

But Celly could not hold her anger. Quickly she fell into depression again. She sobbed in earnest against her already damp pillow again. The thoughts that filled her mind were tortured and probably would not be recalled again.

I'm so alone... I'm always alone... Always betrayed by the one I love most... Kami-sama... please just kill me now... I don't want to go on like this anymore! Why does this always happen... 'nii-chan... 'nii-chan... you said you would come for me... you said you wouldn't leave me behind... where are you now? Where are you when I need you the most?... 'nii-chan... itooshii... I'm so alone...

Darkness.

Pain.

The whimpering cries of a tortured soul.

TBC....
