Prologue

"I Know What I'm Doing"

Disclaimer and Author's Note: I don't own the Children of the Lamp or any of it's characters *sigh*, sorry if this seems kind of OCC and out of character!

Third Person's POV

A red haired woman in a pale blue dress standing on the balcony looking at the stars wistfully as if waiting for someone. When the moonlight hit her hair it made it looked kind of pink like the sunset.

"Hello" She said curtly as a man with black hair and motorcycle boots stepped onto the balcony. The man nodded stiffly.

"So…." The woman turned around and stared at him.

"I'm leaving" He replied.

There was heavy silence until the woman finally replied "I've always known that."

"I had hoped that maybe you will give up on the power, Rudyard failed and I was kind of hoping you were going to too but it was a foolish wish" The woman ranted.

The man was silent.

"I guess this it it, three years of steady relationship broken by one promise of power that isn't exactly stable" The woman let out a strangled laugh.

"I won't fail" He finally spoke.

"I wish you good luck" The woman let out a half-sad, half-amused smile as she joked.

Then with a quick mutter she vanished into thin air.

Don't mind me...I'm just a line break *sigh*

The man stared after the woman, not knowing why the break-up feel painful.

"I hope you know what you're doing" Another person stepped out of the shadows.

"Since when did you cared, Rudyard?" (Did I spell his name right?) The original man shot back.

"Dunno, since I failed and maybe trying to make you fail too" Rudyard shrugged, his evil side not totally rid of yet.

The man sighed "Just because you failed and fell in love doesn't mean I have to fail and fell in love."

"I already warned you once and think over this carefully so I'm not going to say it again but you are going to regret this one day" Rudyard warned and he disappeared.

"Love you too, Bro" The man mumbled and started down the stairs.
