Prologue
January 23rd, 1864
I let it fall, my heart, and as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me.
"Let it burn, Damon…"
Those last words she whispered before she ran. They echoed. Her bare feet barely touching the forest floor, her floor length dress billowing out behind her. The wind was so strong. Her mind didn't register when she fell, when the world slipped away. It was an empty, deafening silence…that alone couldn't have been more painful.
She recalls the events during her painless death. She felt a nudge to her side, subconsciously, she lifts her face to meet the azure eye of a midnight black wolf. He acknowledges her. He walks towards the full moon in the distance, his soft paws barely making a sound on the fallen leaves. He turns back, almost as if he was looking over a shoulder, his eyes full of curiosity and a look as if to say "Follow me."
There was no hesitation. No fear.
She walked beside the wolf, for how long neither of them knew, until they came to a lake reflecting the silver of the moon, shimmering off the surface.
She knew what she had to do.
Walking down to the water until she was submerged thigh deep, she took a shaky breath. She glanced behind her, she knew this place. Of the times she spent here with her beloved, underneath the glorious sunshine and the cover of darkness. She set her sights on the moon, closing her eyes she imagined him, every detail. He was next to her holding her hand.
"I love you.."
She let go.

I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time...
