Her world changed with his arrival. A smile always visible since he came, never lonely. Every day they

Played games, danced, listened to music. He loved her singing and playing the instruments. His heart was overwhelmed by his love for her. but he knew he couldn't be with her. right now, he was just an assistant, someone to guard her. he was only permitted to see her. but really being with her like a lover was forbidden.

He knew everything about her, learned what she hated and what she loved. But even though she had loved him all this time to, she would never tell. She knew the deal with her parents, she knew about the status. They both knew it couldn't be. But that was because he was formally the heir of another clan. Every day they attached the tower. Other vampires climbed the tower, trying to reach for the heir and Mikan. To kill them. But Mikan would never let them come so close. Her powers shielding them. She never let him go somewhere alone. She was afraid to lose him. To be alone in this tower.

Almost all the days were the same. But this day there was a change.

She was singing cause he asked her to, she was singing : if I die young.

She knew there was something wrong. He never asked her to sing things like this, like the sadness was coming. She began.

If I die young, bury me in satin.

Lay me down on a bed of roses,

Sink me in a river,

Send me away with the words of a love song.

uh oh uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors oh and

Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had just enough time

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

There's a boy here in town says he'll love me forever

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well

I've had just enough time

My parents walked in, their faces were very strict, there was something going on.

I knew it involved me, and that It probably would've been an hard decision for them.

I just continued singing. It was good for them to relax, once in some time.

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

The text of this song, it's how the life by the humans is. People died, and then they gain the respect they should've had. It's stupid how people can't see it but they are themselves.

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

oh oh

The balled of a dove,

Go with peace and love.

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them,

Why do I have the feeling that this song is important, like it got something to do with me. like something tragic is going to happen. Like someone is going to die. That my tears will fall. That the time for someone I know will come to soon.

The sharp knife of a short life.

Well I've had enough time

So put on your best boys

And I'll wear my pearls.

I looked at Akino and saw him smile. Some tears in his eyes. The song was finished and I bowed. parents and Akino clapped for me. it made me smile. My parents liked it to.

"Mikan, your father and I have to tell you something." My mother started. "We accept it if you really want to train outside because you're strong enough to defend yourself and we thrust you." My mother walked towards me and gave me a kiss on top of my head. They both walked away. My mother seemed to cry, a little. "Isn't it great, you can finally go out the towers and look at the things that you've seen through you're bowl. You can see the real deal. Let's go."

We both were in high spirits, but hey who wouldn't if you've been locked up in a tower for 4 years.

We went outside and walked in the forest, seeing the creatures, a wolf howling to the moon, an squirrel looking for nuts. Insects flying around. We reached the centre of the forest, it was beautiful, a lake, bleu, sparkling. Animals all gathered at this place. Fireflies dancing above the lake. Making patters. We sat down and looked up. The stars were the same as from the sight in the tower. I smiled. "It's so beautiful, I want to stay here. And then the meteor shower came. Seeing the meteors falling, being lights in the dark sky, and enchanting sight. The sight she wanted to see forever. But far too soon it ended. Hand in hand they walked back. Talking about the amazing sight. At the tower they collapsed on the bed and fell asleep. Thinking about tomorrow.

The days came and go. Almost every day they went out. Seeing places all over the world. Seeing different people every day. Different characters, different personalities, nice and mean, hating and loving. Feelings she had never seen before. She was glad that she could witness it all. just like normal humans and vampires.

but it would soon come to an end. but not like this, not like a fairytale.
