I'm meeting him! I'm finally meeting him!
Like Romeo and Juliet.. Though I really don't like using them as a comparison, I have a secret lover.
And he's a radiant.
Oh dear Father Fate. Why do you do this to me.
But we decided to meet just before the great war. Maybe we can survive together. Maybe we'll emerge victorious.
May be we can m.. Ma.. Marry >////<
Aaahhhh my heart is beating so faasssttt
I waited in the tree peony park, his favorite place at the city.
All dressed up of course! This is our first date after all, even if hidden by the shadows of the night.
And slowly, a footstep approach. All calm, and gentle. A sweet aroma filled the air. It's him.
I turned to see my lover's face for the first time, and I'd recognize that face anywhere.
"Carm..."

Looking at my watch I waited for my lover to come from the shadows.
We decided to meet at the tree peony park, my favorite place. Why?
Because the delicate flowers reminded me so much of her.
Oh why has god forsaken me so, making such a wonderful women a Dire?
Nevertheless, we will surpass this doomed fate.
Whenever I thought of her, I felt as if my fate, my destiny would be eternally fortunate.
I walked slowly towards the one.
As she saw me she said with her delicate lips.
"Carm..."
I responded in kind as I looked into her eyes.
"Luck.."

Since that day, we've been having our secret meetings. Talking about who is dangerous or not, sharing information. I was hesitant to tell him the locations where my family hid.. But, if it's to be with him, I have to accept that my family will simply have to die. Reluctantly, I told him the location of the family head, Sir Choco de Dire. That night, he finally met my father. Not to ask for my hand.. But to kill him.
I'm sorry papa.

After our first secret meeting we continued our endeavors.
Meeting one and another under the guise of the night, where the daylight could not shed it's horridness on our forbidden love.
Tonight she told me where her father presided, I knew that he would not accept our love, our destiny.
So I did what I had too, to make our love, our dream continue.
I killed him.
Even though she was hesitant on telling me where he was, she finally relented, but I already had a gist of where he was, and she only confirmed my suspicions.
I'm sorry my love, but this is for our future.

It was a bit hard after that. The sadness of losing a family.. He would console me when we meet and I know he has it harder, being the one to kill him, and having his family die one by one.

"I shouldn't let him bear this alone! This is for our future! I'll.. I'll take up the sword! I'll do it! I'll..." I realize I can't do it. Not the way he did it, I'm simply... weak....
The townsfolk gathered at dawn. The night has had its death, another of his family. Looking around at the quiet atmosphere, I thought that this is my chance. I may not be able to bear the arm, but at least this I can do!
I rose and walked to the center.
And how wrong I was.
Carm POV
________________________________________________
I watched in horror as the others one by one voted against my love, as she just made things worse for herself, a mistake I could've prevented if only I was awake then.
I slowly came to the realization that she would not live. She would not be there tonight, be in our spot, be next to me.
Is this how it'll end for her?
Is this how it'll end for our love?
I cannot accept this.
I will not accept this!
I try my best, I desperately tried to convince the others of her innocence. Yet it was all for naught.
I watched in horror as one by one, the sands in the hourglass trickled down, the countdown to her demise, and the end of my love.
SO BE IT.
If she isn't in this world with me, what purpose do I have?
I came to that conclusion, to that inevitable decision.
If we cannot be together in this world, may we be with each other in the next.

This... This can't be... I......
I try stifling my tears, show no fear, but the attacks on me were too great.
I try to look around, to find hope, only to see my darling's pained face.
Ah... I guess... this is it.... I'm sorry, Carm..
Realizing my end is inevitable, I tightened my grip. Let no one realize our relationship! Let him live!
With renewed spirit, I shouted out, the desperate wails of the dying, "I'll tell you where all the Dire family are! Kill them all!"
Kill. Kill them all, my family, my circumstances, this entire war. Those that does not allow me to be with him. Let it all burn and die.
I shouted my last wail, upon my last stage, waiting for my last breath.
But a Radiant walked to my side and embraced me.
The calm and gentle steps.
The man with the smell of peonies.
The smile that meant my world.
The one I love.
With him in my arms, the townfolks shouts are of no importance. Though it pains me to know he'll have to die, I feel braver and calmer with him. As if everything that's happening is of no importance. For only him and our embrace matter.
Softly, I said my sorry.
Slowly, I loosed my hold.
Looking into his determined eyes, I leaned closer and shared our first and last kiss, under the blessing of the sun.
What a blissful moment it is.
I closed my eyes for the last time, as the bullet passed through us.
Let's be together in the next life, he smiled.
