"And I heard your heart beating you were in the darkness too, so I stayed in the darkness with you."

Leila's P.O.V

I couldn't comprehend how long I've gone without seeing Harry. 9 months exactly. Felix found a way to put me to sleep, and so there's no reason for Harry to meet with me at night anymore. Of course he searched everywhere for me when I didn't see him. Aura and Alexander made a visit to Felix's room, he only told them they don't need to worry.

"My love please stop day dreaming and practice the spell I taught you." Felix says slightly annoyed.

I get up from the dark red couch placed in the middle of his room making my way to his side.

"I've practiced it a thousand times can I have a break?"

He puts down the pen he was using, turns to me, and caresses my chin carefully examining my face.

"The bags under your eyes do tell me I've been too strict with you practicing your powers. My apologies darling." He utters and I smile in a thankful matter.

His lips meet mine suddenly and his hand leaves my chin then he pulls me to him so there's no space between us.

Before anything else could happen there was a loud knock on the door. Felix pulled away and went to see who it was.

The door opened and I saw a glimpse of Alexander, but why is he here?

I couldn't make out what they were saying because they were whispering. Felix looked back at me and motioned for me to go over there.

Once I did he told me Alex wanted to speak with me, and I nodded.

I stepped outside of the room, which was weird since I haven't left it in 9 months.

Shutting the door Alex begun to speak.

"Leila what's been going on? You've been cooped up in that room and not only am I worried for you, but so is Aura and most of all Harry." He says furrowing his eyebrows.

"I'm fine. Felix and I are close now so I don't see what's so wrong for me to be with him, or why you all are worried." I answer looking at my feet.

"Harry is torn about all of this." He says and puts his hand on my shoulder.

"So he can hang out with someone else and I can't?" I ask harshly removing his hand.

"You've changed so much kid. Your eyes are dull, your hair color has darkened, and yo-"

"You look great too, thanks so much for all the compliments. Goodbye Alexander." I roll my eyes and reach for the doorknob, but he stands in front of it too quickly.

"Felix isn't a good guy Leila. I don't want to see you get hurt, and living like this isn't healthy.."

"Here Harry wanted me to give you this." He adds whispering handing me a paper that is folded and had my name on it written ever so beautifully.

I hide the paper in my bra since there's no where else to put it and exchange goodbyes before returning to Felix.

------

Later on that day I waited until I was alone so I could see what the letter said.

It took a while but eventually Felix left the room to get food for us.

I pulled out the letter from my bra and began to read.

Leila,

My precious Leila please do read this all.
I can't function correctly without seeing you, and I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. You're my best friend and I won't let anything or anyone hurt you, so you need to understand when I say this. Felix isn't being truthful with you at all. He is pure evil. You are capable of more than you think and he's trying to take advantage of that.
Meet me at 7 o'clock at our favorite place and I promise you I will never put you through anything like this ever again.
Donec iterum conveniant.
                                                       -Harry

A tear fell onto the paper smearing some of the words. I wiped my eyes and when I heard the key unlocking the door I quickly crumbled the paper and threw it in the trash.

"Brought you your favorite." Felix says kicking the door closed behind him.

While eating I continued to think about meeting Harry, and what the letter said. Felix wouldn't hurt me. He's been so caring and loving towards me there's no way what Harry said is true.

I'm not meeting him. As much as I miss him I've made a promise to Felix and I'm not breaking it. Felix deserves to be king and I'll help him as much as I can to prove it to Alexander and Aura.

"You ready to go to sleep darling?" My thoughts are interrupted.

"Yes." I reply and dispose of my food.

Felix and I get comfortable in bed and he whispers something different from what Harry does and I'm asleep.
