Once upon a time, there was a young girl who led a complicated life. Her older brother, who she loved dearly, had been casted away from her forever and her heart sunk in affliction. The man she cared for and fell in love with was no human but a demon. Her other half, much to her dismay, contracted with the man she loved. The man would fulfill her brother's wishes and in the end, that man would take his soul. That same girl had been kept away from this secret for quite some time until they believed she was ready to hear it.
One day, the young girl was wandering and found a beautiful man. He was lean and sturdy with hair as soft as silk. His eyes were a beautiful golden color that reminded her of the sun and its beautiful rays. His skin was tanned and glistening with beauty. He vowed to protect her with all he had…for a price. She accepted without hesitance and for the first time in her whole life, she was happy. Despite her parent's death years ago and the torment she endured all the years before, she felt safe and secured with this man beside her.
Her brother reluctantly agreed to allow this beautiful man to remain by his sister's side. He cared for her that much to deal with the painful thought of his sister accepting the same fate that he would. His cries of protest saddened the young girl because she loved her brother but she refused to let go of the man by her side. The man that she held dear didn't seem to like the man either and refuse to take any part of his presence unless necessary.
Eventually, the happiness that she had clung on to for dear life slowly faded into a distant memory. The beautiful man had died. Her heart ached for the sudden loss of him and she fell into a deep depression. Months after her stoic act, she regained hope after seeing the beautiful man again. She was thrilled and happy once again when he returned to her awaiting arms but she felt that something was different about him. She didn't bother to care and ignored the constant fear of any change in him. Again, she was happy.
Just when she thought things couldn't get better, they crumpled beneath her, as if she stood on the ledge of a cliff. The beautiful man was only an illusion, a figment of her imagination. Her tears flooded her eyes and they melted away like snow. She was tainted and cursed to never be happy. The man she loved had taken her instead of the beautiful man though she didn't mind. Her life diminished away and her brother died before her. Her soul was carried off to the man she was enchanted with and her very existence withered away.
Or so she thought.
That young girl…was me.
Hello, everyone. I put in a lot of thought into this Fanfic after I finished 'Her Silent Requiem' and I thought I should do one last story that takes place after it (possibly more depends on how I end it this one). As for the updates, I will try and update frequently for this story, because I haven't really thought of a plot yet because I had multiple of them in mind for this one. I'm sorry if I don't update as quickly as I normally do but I will say this, I will get this story done. I honestly hope you guys enjoy this story and please let me know what you think. This fanfic is going to have a lot of strange actions with Aurora and Sebastian. So please, if there is any particular criticism that you would like to share, do not hesitate to tell me and I will definitely learn from it. Thank you and enjoy.
