Garnet sat in her room in the palace and clutched her head. She thought it would get better at night but she was proved wrong.

        Stupid girl! Darkness is my element, I am at my strongest surrounded by its

             Haunting tunes.

 She let out a small scream as He laughed, his malevolent voice echoing in the dark recesses of her mind, each vibration causing her to flinch and shudder. Her whole body ached as she tried to blot out the pain, block out his voice but failed. He was still there, eating away at her mind while she cried silently.

  The dagger on her bedside table meanwhile gleamed. It would be all too easy just to give up and seize it. What else did she have to live for? Alexandria was safe, her friends didn't need her and Zidane would never forgive her. She could take the cold blade and press it against her heart and push. The next day all her friend would find was her body and the crimson flow of blood staining her pink carpet, unmarked by any tears.

     Don't even think about it. You still have a nation to build. The world needs you, or at least they need your powers and I.

   Why me? Why not somebody else?

 Because you're the one who summoned me, you're the one who let me use you. And now you pay the price.

 But if I hadn't…if I didn't….

   Than your friends would be dead. Yes, we've been through that already.

 Garnet wiped away her tears and turned to her bedroom window. The sky was clear and one start brightly that it seemed to dominate the whole sky.

    If only I had a light to dispel the darkness that eats me….

     You'll never have a light Garnet. Ever wondered why you could never learn the      spell Holy?

   He's wrong, she thought sorrowfully. I did have a light, he helped me dispel the dark fears inside, and he taught me to be strong. He did so much for me and I…

I pushed him away.

I don't deserve to live.

 Garnet opened the windows and felt the wintry night air on her cheek, the icy touch biting her. Would she feel like this permanently now that the demise of the life she had known had started? Would she slowly ice over on the outside as if to somehow prevent the decay inside of her?

  She reached out to the as if to touch the stars…. or fall to the ground. The moonlight was bathing everything in her subtle light and the enchantment had already affected Garnet. In this surreal world of the night anything seemed possible. If I fall, would it hurt much?

 Garnet took in one last breath of the air and sighed. She couldn't fall forward, she couldn't move from this spot, couldn't…

  " Princess, your humble servant has returned!"

  ! Zidane?!?"
