Authors Notes:
Sorry about the length of this chapter, I know it's really short. But I'm still not home.. And well.. I don't have the time right now to be writing long chapters. But don't lose faith! I'll do my best to make my next chapter longer and far better. Thanks for reviewing, it means the world to me. Oh, and check out my updated profile!
"Together, as your knight. We will withstand the test of time.."
Vincent's POV
Sun seeped from the cracks of the blinds, awaking me for the fifth time this morning. But something was different this time.. Instead of feeling a warm body next to mine, I felt nothing but the cold air from the air conditioner above me. I finally opened my eyes and surveyed the room, finding nothing but empty space I quickly stepped into action, rising instantly from the bed. I peaked into the washroom but didn't find what I was looking for, Kit had definitely left earlier on in the morning without telling me.
My eyes roamed around the room searching for my clothing. If it wasn't against the Garden's rules, I'd be out looking for her by now clad in nothing but my boxers. But.. I'd think that sight would blind the junior classmen and probably a lot of people around my age as well. I eventually found my pants lying under the bed, my socks and shoes next to her night table and my shirt beside the door. I grabbed them quickly and threw them on as fast as possible, and since I was half asleep.. well.. I wasn't all that quick.
I took a moment to look in the mirror, not wanting to scare anyone while I was searching frantically around the building. But a note with my name on it caught my eye. I paused for a moment and picked it up, carefully tearing the envelope away from the note.
I knew who it was from, of course.. But nothing could prepare me for what was inside.
Dear Vincent,
As you've figured out by now, I snuck out of the room earlier this morning.
I know I should have told you because you worry so much about me but..
I can't let you destroy your life for me, I'm nothing special.
Deep down inside I know you know that.
Thanks though for all the support you have given me,
and all the love you have shown me.
I'm sorry for not having enough nerve to say all of this to your face but I knew you'd never allow me to leave you.
I guess I've bewitched you somehow, I can promise you that it wasn't intentional.
I don't mean to hurt you, but I hurt everyone I meet.
Didn't I tell you that? I thought I did.
I love you, and I always will. That's why I'm running away,
I couldn't bare to see the look on your face while you're reading this, it would kill me.
And that's why I'm going the way that I am.
Forget about me. Forget about us.
Most importantly, move on. Find someone who is as perfect as you are,
you deserve only the best. I'm sorry that I wasn't the one to give that to you. But..
I know you'll find her soon, don't give up hope.
I love you.
Don't look below, where the water flows.
Don't go to the place where my parents made their first mistake.
Where the sky glows, where the wind blows.
I won't be waiting for you, it's too late for me.
But darling, I can save you.
Let me save you.
I'm leaving you,
For you.
Forgive me.
Love,
Kit Leonheart Alm..
I could still see where her tears fell onto the sheet of paper, and I could feel the tears escape my own eyes, joining hers.
But I know where she is, I know where she's hiding.
And I'll stop her.
I need her.
I love her..
Kit, why the hell do you have to mess everything up? Can't you just enjoy something wonderful? I love you.. You know that.
I know you know that.
Damn it, hold on. I'm coming to save you, Kit. And once I find you, we're leaving this place. We can live together in a place that's safe, where you can never escape. I love you too much to just let you leave me. I'm your knight.. and I will protect you.
Together, as your knight,
We can withstand the test of time,
With one goal in mind,
To love and need the other,
To defeat the SeeD's,
Love is unstoppable,
It's time that we show them,
Just how deep love runs,
Within our veins.
Forever your knight,
We will end time.
