-----------------------------------------------

I gazed up at the castle, taking a deep breath in.

Amidst the harsher mist, and the now piercing, rising moon, the world seemed to hold a much harsher tone. Much, much more sinister than before.

The windows of the castle were still covered, but less light shone through. In fact, now barely any showed light at all. This time, the midst didn't settle. The air remained ice cold, and instead, the air became shallow.

I didn't want to enter. I didn't want to leave here, ever. I was happy with my life before, right? Why did he have to come and ruin it all? Take my life from me? Rip it all to shreds?

The gates opened, as I turned to Jack.

I turned, then ran across the ice, not slipping whatsoever, hugging Jack tight.

"Woah there, you might break something...or the ice"

"I don't want to go."

"Well, you have to. This is not a place to die, little lamb, especially not for you. It's time to go back to your flock, after all these years. Go on."
He let go, shooing me away, as I just sighed.

"Goodbye."

Then, I walked across the ice and into the castle.

One final time.

When I got inside, I went straight to Dimitrescu's private quarters to try and find all of my things and gather them all into a bag. I slept with her 'in case she needed a midnight snack', so I didn't have much scattered around the house. I didn't have much of my own at all really; just a few clothes Alcina bought to make me more presentable, a phone with no cell service since we were in the middle of nowhere, and a few other possessions..

For a moment, I contemplated just staying here. Locking all the doors, boarding them up like some kind of cliche zombie movie, and just living alone in the castle.

But, doors can be knocked down, and my smell would be way too strong to be able to live out here with no protection. No Alcina.

The thing that seemed to take a long time was trying to collect the clothes and things of hers that I wanted to keep. There was so much I just couldn't let go of.

Eventually, I gathered the things together, after taking a few wine bottles and filling them up at the distillery, putting them in the bag.

And now was my time to leave. The time for me to run and never return. Leave this life behind. All of the pain and suffering. All, for nothing.
Now what? Where do I go? Where can I go? And even when I go, it won't be the same as before.

Eventually, I pulled myself back together.
But then I saw the clock.

It'd been 35 minutes.

I was too late, unless I ran right now, I wouldn't make it.

But what was the point?

The answer was, there was no point anymore.

I'd lived my life. I'd done it all, lived, loved, finished everything I've ever needed.

Except getting that kitten. But that was unnecessary.

Now was the time it should all come to a close.

I dropped my stuff and walked back downstairs, stuffed my face into a pillow on the couch, and took a pen and paper.

'Jack.

I'm sorry, I genuinely can't do this anymore. Please, live a happy life for me. Because now it's my time to go. I've done everything I would ever have hoped to. My life is complete. My life is over. Don't cry over me, don't do anything stupid because of me. I love you. That sounds weird on paper, but you get what I mean. But honestly, you're the best. I'll truly miss you.

Please, live for me.

If we somehow ever see each other again, please don't call me stupid.

Even if I'd wanted to, I can't turn back now. I'm surrounded. I hear them.

The only thing I'd tell you is to remember, life is a social concept. Go do what you want.

PS. Gave the magnum to Ethan. I'm sure you'll get it back soon enough.'

I put the note in my hand, crumpled up, soaked with tears, then stuffed my face in a pillow on her couch by a fireplace.
I told myself 'It's fine, I'm just going to keep my face here until I fall asleep, then not wake up.

I closed my eyes, thinking about everything. Alcina, Bela, Cassandra, Daniella, Heisenberg, Mother Miranda, even Moreau at that point. And, in fact, I just so happened to thank them all. For allowing me to live the life I'd lead.

But soon, I heard growling close to my ear.

Sudden regret.

I could've been out of here. I could be free like Alcina would want me to be.

No. She'd want me to be with her. This is the only way. Like a slave buried alive in their master's tomb.

Soon, they started feasting on me. I felt things being ripped, cut, bitten. I just felt pure agony for a second. My plan to 'fall asleep' had failed, and I realized I'd have to stay awake through the entire process. As they slowly ate me alive.

I cried out for Alcina. Other than that, I had no words left to say. My fate had been sealed.

Eventually, I felt myself start to slip away.

'Just like falling asleep'

It just... hurt more

There's no way to describe it, other than.. pure agony.

The sound of ripping, tearing, scratching, growling, all becoming so loud.

And the feeling was even more intense.

Soon enough, my time was up.

And as I died, I dreamt of her once again.

Alcina Dimitrescu.
