Duty to my Heart
Disclaimer: I do not own anything W.I.T.C.H. related.
Summary: Caleb's thoughts as he decides to stay in Meridian. Caleb's POV.
"I'm staying in Meridian."
As soon as I uttered those words, I regretted them immediately. I saw Cornelia tense up and it took all of my strength to not embrace her and tell her I didn't mean it. I saw that one silent tear fall down her flawless ivory cheek and as it fell, so did my heart.
She soon turned her back to me. I felt helpless. I was torn between the duty I had in Meridian and the duty I had in my heart. She started to walk away from me. A piece of my soul was being ripped away from me, slowly and painfully.
I stayed still, afraid of what I might do if I allowed myself the privilege of moving. I silently prayed, sending my thoughts out to the blond haired beauty fading away from sight. 'One day, I'll prove that my love is real… I'll give all my heart to you, please trust me.'
I lifted my head in time to see her disappear from my gaze… From my life. Unable to handle it any longer, I collapsed on my knees. Tears started streaming down my cheeks, tears I never knew I had.
Pain and sorrow threatened to crush every bit of my spirit. I pounded the ground, letting my frustrations free.
Minutes turned to hours and hours turned to days. I don't know how long I had been in that same spot. Finally, I took in a deep breath and wiped my tear-stained face with the dirty sleeve of my jacket. Pulling myself up, I looked into the sky as the sun rose, shining its rays on my dirty face.
I'm going to work hard. Harder than I've ever worked so that one day… One day, the only duty I have to follow is the one to my heart.
The End
((That was my short interpretation of the scene when Cornelia and Caleb 'broke up'. I love those two and the cold ending that they had was definitely not the kind of ending I had imagined. Review if you wish Thanks for reading.))
