Hah...what just happened? I was framed, marked as a traitor, and now, I was being taken out for my death sentence. To be burned alive, saying I was a witch. I smiled bitterly.

Was this how my ending was going to be? It's not very...regal. I winced, as one of the guards pulled on the chains. "Hurry up! We don't have all day!" They yelled.

I just kept my head down, and walked along. I know what you are thinking, bastard. I could feel his god damned smile. I was pulled forward, up the stairs, and above ground...

To view the place I was born...such...beauty. They tied me up to the stands, and started chanting. "Burn the witch! Burn the witch!" They all yelled.

I closed my eyes, ready to be burned alive, and suffer the agony of being burned. Such a nice...nice...way to die. Suddenly, shouts were heard. My eyes snapped open.

What in the bloody world-My eyes shined for a second. Was that him? I struggled, and tried to get off the stand. I got free, but the guy disappeared. The entire place was in chaos right now.

That figure...it looked so much like him...but isn't he dead? I'm sure...I saw it with my own eyes...the sword, piercing through his body, while I cried.

Heads were blown off, as people screamed for their lives. I looked to where the emperor would be sitting. My 'ex-husband'. He wasn't there. I felt anger.

I ran out of the place, and into the imperial palace. He should be here, if he wasn't there for my trial...but wait...doesn't the emperor need to be there on trial?

I smacked my head. He must still be close around there. Time to go back. I quickly ran back, and looked around. Where was he? Then at the corner of my eyes, I saw an arrow headed straight for me.

I closed my eyes, ready to feel the pain. But the so-called pain never came. I opened my eyes. A guy with a wolf mask stood in front of me, with the arrow in his hands. A clean catch.

My eyes widened. "Who...are you?" I asked curiously, but cautiously. I don't know why...but I had that strong urge...to...to take that mask down...and... my hands raise up to his face.

He snaps his face away from me, as I flinched at the sudden movement. "You should run away. It isn't safe for such a beautiful person to be." He says, voice deep...just like his. 

Suddenly, another arrow was fired at us. "! Watch out!" I pushed the guy aside, as we both tumbled to the floor. For a second, I was just staring at his mask.

He then coughs, and gets up. "You should go." He mutters, and runs off. I tilted my head, then remembered what I was suppose to do. "That bastard. I'll kill him."

I quickly ran through the place, searching high and low. Suddenly, I hear voices in a room. I stood at the side of the door. "You can't do this to me!" I realized the voice.

It was my ex-husband. "You can't possibly kill me, just for her! You can't do that! Killing the king is a crime!" He yells. "It doesn't matter what I do. What's important, is that you hurt her."

Then, there was silence. "You could come out now. " The voice sounds throughout the quietness. I walked to plain sight. "...you're him...aren't you...?" I frown.

He pauses, not answering me. "Answer me! Are you him?!" I yell, getting impatient. He slowly takes off his masks, and  angry, yet sad tears rolled down my face. 

"Bale... how could you? You left me...for so long..." I cried. How could he? I thought he had died! How horrified I was, when the sword pierced through his flesh!

"I'm sorry...but I'm back now aren't I?" He nods towards me. "Back, but late...I missed you." I walked towards him. He pulls me into a hug. "I'm sorry." He whispers.

"I'll forgive you...if you spend the rest of the years of your life with me." I smile, while tears continuously rolled out. "Of course. Anything for you."

I held out my pinky. "Promise? You promise you won't leave again?" I lift me head up. He presses his lips against mine. "I promise my little butterfly." He says, linking his pinky with mine.
