Daku's Point of View
It's already been two weeks…I don't know if I'll ever make it out of here. I just can't stop thinking about Whit. My love, how they must've hurt him…I really hope they didn't. What if he thinks I'm dead? What if he's hurt?I just want to see my baby Whit again…I hope he knows I'm alright. I miss my blissful boyfriend. His grey eyes that look like snow, I'll miss him. I know I'll probably never leave here, and I'll really miss him forever.
I had a dreadful thought.
What if he's dead? Whit would normally try to come find me, and they said that they had 'special plans' for him, what if he died and I couldn't save him?
I started bawling. My legs collapsed at the thought of it.
" Who is Whit? " a shy voice said, coming from the cell next to mine.
I looked over, there was a girl with white hair with small grey streaks throughout her hair. Her eyes were dark blue, the most common colour on our side. She must use dark magic.
" Do you, use dark magic?"
" I do, that's why I'm here. Who is Whit? You keep writing love letters to them, who are they?"
The love letters…she found them? I've been writing love letters to give to Whit in case I don't make it out of here alive. I want him to know how I feel.
I wiped my tears.
" Whit, he's my boyfriend,"
" Your boyfriend? What's he like?"
" He's blissful, and beautiful , and perfect …"
" You love him , then?"
" Oh , you don't even know how much I do,"
" Does he love you back?"
" I- I think so,"
" I'm sure he does. You seem familiar, are you famous?"
" Well, I'm a prince. I'm Daku Miseron,"
" You're prince Daku? I'm so sorry , your highness-"
" Please , just call me Daku. "
" O- ok, Daku. Wait, don't you have a fiance?"
" Technically yes, but I don't care much for her. Whit is my love, but I know I can't be with him," I started lightly crying. I've cried a lot during my time in this cell.
" I'm sure you'll get to be with him,"
" No, I can't be!! He's probably dead, anyway!!"
" Why do you say that?"
" The guards that put me in here said that they had ' special plans ' for him!! Thuy obviously wanted to kill him!! I love him!! I could've saved him!!"
"You don't know that he's dead, don't jump to conclusions,"
" Im pretty damn sure," I didn't actually have much reason to believe he's dead, I just kind of believed it.
" You don't sound sincere,"
"Well, I am." I wasn't . I just wanted to know that he's dead in case he actually is. I was raised to always prepare for and expect the worst. That's one more thing that everyone with dark magic has in common.
"Do you love him?"
" You already asked, yes!!"
"Well, you seem defensive talking about him,"
"Defensive? How am I defensive?"
" See what I mean,"
I guess I was kind of being defensive. It's hard being without Whit, I guess.
"Are you gonna tell me your name? " I said, agitated as usual.
" I'm Belinda Waters, and you're Daku Miseron,"
" Yes, I am."
" You've only been here for two weeks, right? "
" Yeah, how long have you been here?"
" About a year."
" A year? It's illegal to keep someone locked up from the other side without permission of royalty for that long. And you're here for dark magic?"
" I am. I know it's illegal,"
" What part of the side are you from, again?"
" The south side,"
"I haven't received permission from them to put you here. We have to get you out of here,"
" You too, you have Whit, remember?"
"I know, I want to see him again, but you've been here longer,"
" We'll both go,"
" Fine. But is that even possible?Can't we get in trouble for that?"
" I'm sure it is. It's not illegal for us to leave, because they put us in here illegally, especially you. "
" Let's make a plan."
Whit's Point of View
" So, Edelweiss, have you come up with a revenge plan yet?"
Edelweiss came to the palace for the next week after our first meet. Eleanora is always here, and she tells her parents that she is talking to Eleanora , but she is actually talking to me. We're still in the process of making a revenge plan, we've got literally nothing done.
" Not yet,"
" It's been a week!! We have to come up with something !!"
" I know we do, it's just, I want to make it perfect!!"
" We don't have to make it that perfect,"
" Yes , we do!! Be like the rest of our side, be-"
" Carefree and reckless? You've been telling me that for the past week!!"
She thinks I use dark magic, so I better act like it. It's hard to sometimes. I'm a stereotypical user of light magic. It's really hard, especially since she is like, really reckless and carefree, like the rest of dark magic users.
" I know, but you act too , y'know, light -"
" For the last time, I don't use light magic!!"
I hope she doesn't know that I actually do, though.
" You act like it, you're so blissful , and nice to people !! You're not supposed to act like that!!"
"Let's just try to come you with a plan,"
" Fine,"
We kept arguing about a plan for the next thirty minutes. If I learned one thing from Edelweiss, it's that if Edelweiss has done it, you should not. She's a little, violent…
" What if we…"
" Is it violent, Edelweiss?"
" Yes , but we should-"
" Not another word."
" Fine, but-"
" Edelweiss, no violence !!"
" You're boring, Whit!!"
" I'm not boring, just sensible!! Now let's come up with a , non- violent plan, ok?"
" ugh, Fine,"
A bird carrying a piece and of paper landed just next to Edelweiss.
" What's that say? Dear Whit, my love…"
I ripped it out of her hands.
" Edelweiss!! Give me that!!"
It said ,
Dear Whit, my love,
I've been stuck in this damned place for two weeks now, and I'm having second thoughts on whether or not I'll make it out alive. I think of your grey eyes everyday, and the lightened gleam coming off of it when you look me in the eyes. My heart is filled with sorrows; sorrows that are only cured by you, my love. I've felt so lonely before I met you. I've always loved you, Whit. I haven't felt such pure bliss my entire life as when I'm with you. My heart strives to be more like yours. You're so blissful, but you know that. I love that about you. You always know how to turn my sorrows into bliss. I can't repay you for all that you've done for me. I don't want you to forget about me, but at the same time, I want you to be happy. Move on from this. Please, find a new boyfriend, one that gives you what you deserve, love. I love you my Whit, I want you to know that forever.
With all my love,
Daku Miseron
