Vain

Lucian watched the sky turn from a light blue to a murky gray, as the world dims. Soon light and small fragmented snowflakes fell from the clouds. As he climbed off his carriage and headed into his new school, he reached out a hand, trying to catch a floating snowflake. When it finally landed in the palm of his hand, he smiled gently. A calm, unfiltered expression appeared on his countenance. A rare to see light shined in his eyes and for a brief moment, he looked joyful.

Aileene was stunned, she knew that soon they would reunite and she had prepared herself for whatever she would have felt at that moment. But it was a shock to her now that a single person could affect her so much, her heart was racing. For what reason, she did not know, but now the two of them were only a feet steps away. She stood above, watching him, unnoticed, as she couldn't speak up. Almost unconsciously, she reached to touch the silver bracelet on her wrist.


It was a pretty, but worn bracelet with a cute candle charm as the center. It was simple but delicate, something she hadn't taken off of her the moment she had received it. Aileene liked it and it was a momentum for her to remember a happy past, along with the choker from Alastair. It was her most valuable possession.


It represented an unreachable dream for her, from the moment she had met Lucian. She wondered if there was a chance, a chance for the villainess to coexist peacefully with the capture targets or the heroine. She wondered, if Lucian didn't hate her, then the rest won't hate her either, would they?


But now, this was no longer an option for Aileene. She could no longer wonder what possibilities there would be if she pursued this relationship with him. Her bright blue eyes dimmed, a sad and lonely smile enchanting her features. The snow caught itself on her clothes and hair. As a pair of violet eyes, finally moves up from admiring his very own snowflake.
