PROLOGUE – "Too late to turn back?"

Kodaline – All I Want

Cause you brought out the best of me,
A part of me I'd never seen.
You took my soul wiped it clean,
Our love was made for movie screens.

But If you loved me,
Why'd you leave me?

A/N: Hey guys. This story is one that's been cooped up for a while so I brushed it off and thought I'd post it. Not going to tell you the pairing yet – will remain a mystery for a while. Anyway enjoy….

Here I was…

Getting what I wanted – well, actually what I thought I wanted and I wasn't happy. Even now as I looked at the gorgeous and probably very expensive diamond ring, I couldn't help but think of him.

For some strange reason, he wouldn't leave me alone. As much as I tried to push him out of my mind, he was always there…lingering in my thoughts, taunting me with the allure of another world…one filled with darkness.

I was drawn to someone else...

I wanted someone else…

I needed someone else…

I loved someone else…

…this was why I shouldn't – no, couldn't go through with this marriage. It was why I could not accept his proposal.

There was a reason why the ring felt like a burden – like a dreadful weight anchoring my finger, rather than a sign of an unbreakable vow.

I wanted to smile, keep pretending and to look him in his eyes and say yes.

Say yes, to spending my eternity with him. Yes to being his wife and yes to giving my heart to him but it was no longer his to take…and part of me now knows that it never had been.

This was wrong.

All of this was wrong.

I was not supposed to be here.

It was not supposed to be him – not anymore.

With a newborn eternity, I knew that I had to make a choice.

I feared loneliness as I had already encountered how the infestation of the disease would eat away at a person's heart. Being alone wasn't something I could even consider which left me with the difficult ultimatum.

Part of me already knew the answer to this choice but I was too scared to admit to it.

…but was it too late to turn back?

A/N: Who does she want to turn back to? More importantly, who is this dark knight that she does want? Reviews will draw you closer to the answers that you seek.

Is it worth continuing?
