A/N: Once again, a special thank you to Dacymarie, who reviewed and made me happy! Here is the next part!
I used to be so hopeful. I actually thought that our love was stronger than this war, and that it might bridge the gap between us. Somehow, it could end the fighting. We would live together in a house of our own. We'd get married. We would escape our fighting families. It would just be the two of us.
But ever since that day there has been no hope. Only despair. He made his choice, and I couldn't follow. He had never really liked me, I realized, he had only played me. I was one of his pawns.
Thus, marked the beginning of my misery, a barren, cold winter of dead things. Hope among them.
A/N: Review for more! There are three more chapters after this one! But only if you review!
