Prologue
The most bluish of blue eyes stared down from the castle's veranda at the garden infront of him as he saw men and women all dressed in fancy clothing, all walking to their carriages to get back home. He checked his pocket watch, sighing exasperatedly, he could not wait any longer. He heard quiet footsteps behind him, telling him that someone is coming towards him. He brushed his tousled blonde hair aside from his blue eyes, watching as smoke formed when he released a puff of breath. He glared of to the side, seeing the unmistakable yellow and black dress of the girl he had danced with earlier.
"What are you doing here?" He demanded.
The girl flinched from the angry hoarse voice of him, thinking to the time when he talked to her that it was so sweet and gentle than now.
"I-I just wanted to talk to you. You seemed so familiar that..." she broke off, seeing the color of the man's face draining "Have I met you somewhere?" She asked instead.
He gave a bark of laughter. Scoffing at what she had said.
She is very foolish, he decided, that is why he had fallen for her.
She fidgeted from his intense gaze, all the time noting how his face softened and turned mournful. She wanted to ask him but something was stopping her from asking. She also knew that he seemed familiar but she could not remember who. Every time she racked her brain for answers, she would come up with nothing and she would feel very dizzy. However, she is getting desperate to find it out.
"Please. Please tell me who you are. You remind me of my servant before he had died. Just please tell me who you are" she pleaded.
He only shook his head, looping his arm around her slim waist, bringing their bodies close together. He nuzzled his face at the crook of her neck, feeling her slender arms wrap themselves around him. He could tell she was confused but nonetheless didn't ask any questions. Finally, he answered her.
"I can't tell you, since it would destroy you. I can't bear to think that my words have killed you instead. So please, don't ask me anymore than it already hurts" he mumbled.

They both stayed on the veranda, watching the stars. They enjoyed each other's company but he only knows that it would only be brief. They joked and tease one another, fortunately she didn't ask him anymore questions regarding how he seemed and felt familiar to her. He would look at her sadly, while she laughed in complete joy. He didn't want to burden her, he needed to know how to stop it.
"When I am near you, I feel safe and warm. I feel like I am being enclosed by feathers" she blurted out.
His eyes widened but did not say anything. The shadows were getting nearer. Dangerously close to where they both stood in complete silence. She breathed a sigh of content while he was left on edge.
"You know-" she was not able to continue as the shadows began swarming towards them. The shadows encircled them, rendering them from squirming. The shadows covered their mouths, slowly his vision began to darken but he was able to see a flicker of realization cross her face. She looked up but it was already too late.
Darkness.
