"Oh scarlet. You know I love you. But, when I made a deal with the devil, the price twas' hefty. I am cursed, you see. If we touch, then I shall die, and you shall your life in agony."
"Wh-what is the meaning of this! I-I... Please tell me this tis' untrue! I cannot live knowing that we cannot touch! Oh how I shall miss the soft caress of your lips, your soft, tender touch, those nights we shared on our journey, ones too close to my heart to put into words in my diary. How can I live, with you so far, yet so close?! Standing right in front of me, yet out of reach, for you will never be mine. How must I live?!" I exclaimed, voice entwined with deep, raw emotion and fresh tears streaming down my cheeks.
"Twill' drive me simply mad!!" I cried out.
"I'm sorry scarlet. I was too naive to ask the price. I asked for life, claiming I would give anything I was able to live and see you again, and that's what I got. He took away our ability to touch. I had no control over it-I-" his voice cracked, and I could hear the strain in his voice.
"He told me I had lost my soulmate, and he was right. I couldn't let you slip away. I watched over you until the day I died, waiting for you to wake, never giving up on you, waiting for you. But you slept on. And I couldn't hold onto life long enough to wait for you, my love- I tried everything. The lost black magic of the gods, I even searched for the sacred elementals of the prophecy, but none have been confirmed and found. This was the only way, my love." He said with his sad hazel eyes.
"One night a month, when the full moon is at its peak, that is all we have together." He said with glistening eyes.
"Let us make the most of it then, no?" I said with a tight throat.
We walked out to the balcony, careful not to touch, that also was connected to the ballroom, where we could hear the distant sounds of musicians playing their instruments.
We hovered our hands, palm to palm, with a few centimeters space between them, almost as if there was a glass wall between us, keeping us apart. We began to dance, the soft sound of violins in the background. The soft moon light lit up the balcony like parade, illuminating his hazel eyes in the night sky, like two lost stars, shining bright in the night sky.
We danced and and danced, simply staring lovingly at each other, basking in our short time together. Then, all too soon, he whispered to me softly, "I love you Scarlet, until next time." Before disappearing into the night, leaving me standing there in awe, wondering what kind of nightmarish dream I was in.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dear Diary,
The events that's have occurred tonight were simply magical. Unmistakable. A tainted sort of perfection.
The moonlight dances softly around us, taunting us, and reminding us that we are forever apart.
-Scarlet Rose
