Emerald Tears
It was Princess Cerli. She never looked more beautiful. She looked like a goddess, her blue azure eyes looked down into his brown ones with pain embedded in her eyes. "Van... why did you do it?" Van fell to the ground in pain. "because.. because I love Hitomi." Then, Van seeped into a dead faint.
When Van opened his eyes, Princess Cerli was standing at his bedside, worried."Prin.. Princess.." He muttered and tried to sit up. That's when Princess Cerli leaned down lovingly and kissed Van. "My Prince, you're finally awake." Van nodded. "Princess, I have to talk to you, I..." Princess Cerli looked at him out of the corner of her eye. She could sense that something was burdening Van's heart. "Before you fainted Van, do you know what you said?" Princess Cerli said quietly. Van looked at her with a confused look. "what did I say?" Suddenly, Princess Cerli stood up and whirled around, her silver robe shimmering. "You don't even remember. Van, do you remember the first time you told me you loved me? Do you even remember?" Her voice was full of hurt and pain. Van sat up. "I... remember. I told you I loved you after our first kiss. When... when you helped me forget my past and pain." Van said with rememberance. Princess Cerli turned around and a single tear rested on her cheek. "But you don't really feel the same way anymore do you?" She said.
Van looked Princess Cerli right in the eye and said "I don't know what your talking about." Princess Cerli tugged at her white blond hair in frustration and hurt. "Yes you do. You don't love me because the last thing you said was you wanted to suicide because you loved Hitomi.. And you.." Just then, the door flung open and Hitomi ran in all out of breath. "Van!" She said but stopped short when she saw Princess Cerli. "umm..." She backed one step back. Princess Cerli's angrilly strode towards Hitomi. "You little bitch. How dare you come in here? After all you've done. You don't even know what you did. For that
whole year, Van was full of pain when you left him. It took a whole year for him to realized that he loved me. Then, you come back and make him relive his past. He even tried to suicide because you slept with Allen." Sensing Hitomi's surprise, She continued. "Yeah, everyone knows. You're known as the castle slut now. You can never make up your mind. You hurt Van and he almost lost his life. You came back to Gaea expecting he'd be waiting here for you? I love Van with all my heart. But he loves you still. And there's nothing I can do to stop him. Van made me so happy. But your just here to ruin it. Hitomi, you broke too many hearts. Me and Van, so perfect for each other. He was my King, and I his princess, I love him." Princess Cerli said with pain. She turned to Van and said gently. "Van, i'm saying good bye now. I know you won't miss me, but don't try to stop me." The Princess reached into her back pocket and pulled slowely out a thin blade knife. Van couldn't see, but Hitomi could. Hitomi lept forward and said "Princess Cerli! Don't..." Princess Cerli turned angrilly towards Hitomi with tears running down her face. "You, don't care whether I live or die. You want me to die so you can have Van all to yourself. I guess your wish came true." Princess Cerli raised the knife and stabbed herself in the heart. Van lept up from his covers and embraced Princess Cerli. "Princess! Why?" He said with pain etched in his voice. Princess Cerli caressed Van's cheek lightly with the last ounce of strength she had in her body. "Van, I.. I.." She tried to say as her body went limp. "Van... I did it because.." She whispered quietly. Tears poured down Van's face. He leaned closer to her lips so he could hear her better. "I did it because I love you Van." She whispered as the words died on her lips. She was dead.
