• If I could see the future, then I already know what it would be like. Drip, drop... The rain pours down heavily as I place my forehead against the glass of the window. Tears blur my vision as I try to keep my breath at a steady pace. But...

    Love is a cursed emotion. Yes, love is a cursed emotion. It causes pain that will never vanish... So why do people care about it so much? It's unfair.

    But of course... Sometimes... just sometimes it can lead to a happy ending. Of course, most of the times, it just leads to a horrible, twisted fairy tale.

    The clock is ticking as I glanced towards it. Soon... Soon I can escape this madness of life. And soon, I can join Mark, I thought as tears finally flow freely.

    Walking across the room, I held a picture of us. I felt my heart clench just seeing your innocent smile. No traces of blood, no traces of the sins you've committed.

    I always question myself, why am I in love with a devil such as your self? You have killed my first love... You have never cared for me, only seeing me as a pawn in your game of chess against the world. And now... It looks like you've won that game. The world is yours. Checkmate.

    A banging noise was heard from the door as I quickly opened it. Standing in front of me were two guards from your palace, both holding a gun, both staring at me with disgust.

    "You have been arrested for Code.20392, terrorism." Spoke one of the guards with a sneer as I smiled gently, "the price is execution." He continued as I felt my heart drop.

    Just grin and bear, I chanted as I nodded my head with a smile plastered on my face. Roughly the other guard pushed me into the hovercraft.

    I bowed my head low, just so that they couldn't see my tears. What was I thinking that you would allow me to live? I am just a pawn to you... And I'm not even the queen to your king? Phst, of course not.

    The hovercraft gave a soft buzzing noise before taking off into the sky. I glanced out from one of the small windows. The view was truly beautiful. The clouds looked soft as feathers while the sky was a pure blue color.

    My last living moments of freedom before I am placed in a prison and sent to my death... Just grin and bear, grin and bear. I chanted to myself, never show a weakness...

    Oh, who am I kidding? I loved him, no, I still love him. Please, just please, I begged inside my head as the hovercraft landed infront of your palace. The guards roughly pulled me out of the transport before dragging me into the building.

    And soon, I was kneeling infront of your throne with the guards holding me down. I tried to see your face, to see if there was any emotion at all. Any traces that you could have loved me... But it was blank, you betrayed no emotion.

    "Your highness, Emperor Julius," bowed the guards as I stared at the emperor's emotionless blue eyes. But I know that I still love him, no matter what. "Stella Kirthland has been arrested for Code.20392, Terrorism. Her punishment is death."

    Maybe... Just maybe he will save me? Be my prince charming once more.
