The Dark Swan

Once upon a time there was a knight who was fated to be killed from battle. Fortunately, he changed his terrible fate from the help of a swan princess who was to turn into a speck of light if she confessed her undying love to the prince. Together they worked as the could and ended up succeeding. The beloved prince returned to the story along with the daughter of the Raven as his bride. The princess was devastated. Reason one was because she turned into a small yellow duck, and the other was heartbreak. In a short while she was happy due to the fact that everyone else had a happy ending and since the knight promised to stay by her side. She fell for the knight and became slightly depressed because she could not confess her love for the words would merely be quacks. The young knight stayed by her side, but began to visit less and less until it came to the point when he didn't visit at all. What is our young duck thinking now? Why did the knight break his promise?


One Year Ago

'It's been seven months and one week since the war, but two months and three days since he broke his promise.' the young duck thought. She sighed as tears began to flow, dripping into the small lonely pond.

"This place is so beautiful." a female voice cheered.

"Quack!" 'Got to hide!' the yellow startled bird quickly swam into the reeds and remained silent.

"Glad you love it." a familiar male voice stated.

'Fakir?' She quietly observed the man whom she loved. He leaned down and passionately kissed the girl with maroon-like hair. It was Pike, her supposed best friend. Witnessing this, her eyes glistened with tears of tragedy and ran far into the silent forest crying that Fakir was in love with another. It was her second heartbreak, her heart throbbed with depression.

"My, my. My dear little Tutu is turned into a duck and suffers two heartbreaks."

"Drosselmeyer?" the duckling quacked.

"Yes it is I, the great writer. Boy do I have a deal for you, I could turn you back into human!"

"Really?" she asked eyes twinkling with hope.

"On one condition."

"Which is?"

"You are to be part of a story once again. Think about it, you suffer through the war, you work hard, and for what? Just to experience heartbreak and lose your humanity while everyone just forgets you and lives a good life while you're just swimming in a lonely pond with no one to talk to?" She thought intensely for a moment and decided her answer, she sacrificed basically everything she had, she deserved at least something, its not like anyone cared about her.

"Deal."

He leaned down and tied a midnight black choker ribbon with a bloody red rose connected to it and gently tied it around her neck. A dark light formed around her. She was wearing a red tank top, black short-shorts, and red converse which went up to her knees. Her auburn hair turned a shade darker and it was cut to mid-back straightened. She gasped for a moment in pain as she clutched her chest. The Raven's blood pierced her heart and began to taint it which cause her emotional wounds to open up again and dug deeper this time. As the pain passed by the duo disappeared.
