[Dear Cela,
I know you must be hurt and probably would hate me for this but I am departing for Whiteden alone. I know you wanted to come along, to ensure my safety and protect me if the time comes. I really appreciate and feel fortunate to have you in my life, however, I cannot risk your life by taking you there. There are too many variables and I don't have a single clue what I would be facing and where I would be living. In such a situation I cannot bring you there.
So please, don't come after me if you love me and wait for me in the Capital. If you don't receive anything from me in the next fifteen days, only you can inquire about me.
-Your Alex.]
Tears welled up in her eyes, as Celestria ran out of the room and darted toward the room where Alex had been staying.
She refused to believe that he left her. She had faith in Alex that he wouldn't leave her behind, however, it would be a lie to say that in the corner of her mind, she didn't expect it.
