A/N: This is a dark one-shot, my view on what Mina could/would be thinking after everything that happened at the castle. It's based on Bram Stokers Dracula. I don't own any characters, just their thoughts in this one-shot.
Italic's are Mina's thoughts
CONFESSION OF THE HEART
The choice was taken from her before she knew what was happening, she fought it hard, as hard as she could anyway. *Not Strong enough* that was that one of many thoughts circling her mind as she lay in bed and tried with all her might to not cry or make a sound. In those final moment, before he made the choice for her, she realized that she was so deeply in love with her Sweet Prince, so much so that it killed her heart to know that she betrayed him in this way.
If only she could tell him somehow, but the dead was done and there was no going back, no way to reverse the damage done. *It's funny how love can creep in so unexpectedly and leave you broken beyond repair.* It had happened so fast, falling for him, and losing him all in one go. The tears continued to pour from her eyes as she lay awake in bed, mourning the lose of what she never truly had yet so utterly lost.
She knows what she would say to him if she could, she thinks it herself every few moments that pass, if only she could tell him all that lies within her heart, her soul!
She looks over at Jonathan briefly, she doesn't hate him, but the love was no longer there. She'll stay with him though, be his wife, have his children, because that's all she has left now. Her heart died that day in the small chapel, she soul was silent as the grave. All the best parts of her he had taken with him.
So, she would suffer until her dying day as penance for what happen, *it's the least that I deserve*, she thought, for the betrayal that lead to this unhappy end. *If only I could tell him...I love you my Sweet Prince*
