Prince James: Son of Domino

Chapter 8: Regrets

As James fell asleep, his consciousness drifted. To his memories of the past that he had lived through and it was something that was not so easily forgotten.

Domino / 19 years ago

It was night time and things were quiet. In his own room, James just laid motionless on his bed while staring at the celling. He was replaying a certain event in his head.

"Then tell me what I should call myself Daphne?!! Tell me! Unrecognized? Useless? Hero?! Unlikely, maybe you can't understand but I do Daphne. Someone who was already gifted with fortune from the beginning can never understand what I'm going through!!!!!!"

At that moment, James just sat up.

"I can't believe I did that.......in front of Daphne no less....." whispered James.

He soon felt dizzy and so he fell back onto his bed.

"My anger has always been directed at her but at the same time its not at her. ARRGGGG!!! Some family I turned out to be...........I should be happy for Daphne, not angry. She came a long way to get to where she is now, it wasn't easy. There were tribulations and trials......especially most recently....the sirenix trials" whispered James.

Soon he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"I don't know if I can ever make it up to her.....but I will try" whispered James.

Next day

After James got dressed and brushed his teeth, he opened the door and stepped out of his room. After walking down the hallway, he saw Daphne and soon caught up with her.

"Morning Daphne" said James.

"Morning James" said Daphne.

"Daphne...........there are so many things that want to say......what I did...yesterday...." said James.

The rest of James's words went back down his throat as he felt Daphne's hand resting on his cheek.

"I know you didn't mean it James and quite frankly.......I wouldn't blame you. You've already suffered enough......all the pent up rage you've kept bottled up has to blow up eventually. I know you didn't mean what you had said to me......I still trust you, because we're family. You don't have to shoulder this alone" said Daphne.

James just gently touched the hand that was on his cheek.

"You are the only one, besides our parents and the company of light......that I truly loved. I can't believe......you can still forgive me...after....." said James.

"What I can't believe is how you're still even sane after all that. Most people can't handle it and would have certainly broken down and might I say....even go insane" said Daphne.

Soon the alarm went off, causing Daphne to retract her hand from James's face.

"Why is it always during breakfast? Don't they know its the most important meal of the day?" asked James.

"You stay here James, let me handle this one" said Daphne.

"Are you sure Daphne?" asked James.

"There will most likely be fairies there and I don't think you're in any shape to deal with an encounter with them at the moment. Let me do this for you, at least. Take this day to enjoy yourself and remember what it was to have fun" said Daphne.

"I haven't had any fun, not since we were children. Alright Daphne, but promise me that if the situation is dire....even if there are fairies or other nymphs there, call me" said James.
