I originally wrote this as an english assignment but when I reread it later I realized that it really seemed to fit the Danny/Vlad situation in Pearl's Checkmate.

So I am posting this story in dedication to Checkmate.


The Wall

As if things weren't bad enough

He looked into the man's eyes;

He knew it would never work.

The man was cold and quiet

Unfeeling, yet he was fierce

Talking with him was useless.

He did not smile or laugh

When he did speak it was harsh

He never did understand.

So one night he left the man

Parting from his former cell

Leaving his cold guardian.

But it was all for the best

He was keeping a promise,

His family's last request.

To gain something important

Something the man could not give

He had left to pursue love.


Hope you enjoyed it! Review! Pretty PLEASE!
