Anger surged, filling up and spilling out with a rage that tore deep inot the damp bark of an innocent tree. Knuckles white as they gripped the hilt of a homemade blade, Pan cursed as he found, not a man, but a small necklace dangling in wait for him. Tearing it from where it hung, green eyes stared down at the finely crafted piece, jaw tight as he felt pain welling in his chest. They could have been in this together, could have had everything and anything they wanted at their fingertips. "Damnit," Pan hissed, standing straight as he yanked his knife free of the tree, staring blankly at the scar he'd left. That....<i>person</i>....was a constant shadow, a everlasting reminder of a weak boy with childish views -- of foolish attachments and-....what did it matter. It was in the past, to be forgotten.<br/><br/><i>He</i>never let him forget though.<br/><br/>Every year, these things were left for him, waiting in places Pan would go. On occasion he would feel watched, but the worst were when he didn't. How did he know so much about him still, though Pan felt as if he knew the answer to that. He'd promised, the day they parted, he swore on his life he'd 'free' him. Free him from what? Pan was<i>happy</i>. He had everything he'd ever wanted, could ever want. He was a leader, powerful, had any pretty face fill his bed. Yeah...he had the life he'd always dreamed....<br/><br/>Shoving the necklace into his pocket, Pan turned away from the tree. His eyes shifted about the dark forest, eyes straining to hear something, anything, above the heavy thrum of water falling around them. He was out there, watching, waiting. He hated that he had no power over him, the only person to never bed to his will, at least not unless it was under his own volition. He was the only one to ever get away, to slip through Pan's fingers and he was the one person Pan couldn't forget. No matter how many times he drank with the boys, no matter how many times Cyrus (or anyone else) crawled into his sheets, this one...this one<i>pest</i>of a man.....he never left him.<br/><br/>"I'll find you."
