The Faces Of The Moon

Victoria had been Jasper's childhood friend but at 8 years of age she was send to an institute for noble ladies when her father died. Years later she came back and Jasper couldn't be any happier. They had been closed and still were.

They spoke and catch up to what the other did while they weren't there. They played football and went horse riding. A they would go to parties together and people were already organizing they're wedding. They didn't mind though, because they were only best friends and they would never be more, she would let him be and he would let her be. And in public they would be the perfect couple, not that Victoria von Swartzchild  really cared.

Not everything was happy though, Jasper wanted to go to war and so Victoria being a good friend help get him ready as he was too young to go. When he went they kept in touch with letters, and she grew worried as the letters became less and less.
One of the letters said he had been promoted to Major and she was happy for him, he now was Major Japer Withlock.

"What are we going to do when you come back from the war?" Victoria had asked him one day, he had blinked and smiled. "We could travel the world? Or do whatever you want?" That was when she told him about her being a spy in Germany. They would live a life of danger apparently, the soldier and the spy. She had killed and he was okay with it, because he knew she would be okay with him killing. And as he travel to make sure all woman were being evacuated, he thought of his best friend. Then he saw them beautiful beyond anything but in his mind Victoria would always be more beautiful. And when they changed him, he knew the only thing he had left from her were his memories. And even those were blurry but he treasured them. He never once saw her again, and he sometimes wondered what became of her. What became of the beautiful but terrifying and unique Victoria von Swartzchild. His best friend, his confident.

When a letter didn't come for close to a year, she knew what happened but tried to denied it. But deep inside her she knew she would never see Jasper again. As she had once heard 'denial is not just a river in Egypt.' But she didn't accepted until the last letter came. He was missing in action, but Victoria was no fool and she knew he wouldn't come back. And she realized she had lost the only one that didn't judge her, her best friend. And so she cried, she cried so much she was surprise there wasn't a new river around. And she never again cried for someone, Jasper had been for her a sun that lit up the world. While she had been a moon that lit up roads for him to follow.
