Yakov's Eternal Darkness and Light

Chapter 10

About an hour later, I slowly stand up from the bed and look down at Yakov. I take a deep breath and hear the door open. I look towards the door and see Sergei walk in. He stands on the other side of Yakov's bed and I hear him whisper something.

"Yakov, you idiot." Sergei looks up at me and bows his head. "He loved you, I hope you know that."

"I- um... Thank you, Sergei."

"Yami, may I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"I understand that Prince Roberto is your brother-"

"Yes-"

"If I may continue..."

"Sorry..."

"That would mean that you are the Princess of Alteria, so why would you ever leave, and come to a place like Sanct Sybil." 

"Would you like the whole story or the short version?"

"The short version please."

"When I turned 18 I was forced to move to Oriens, but when I learned what I had to do while I was there, I choose to run away. I never stopped moving, first it was to Nobel Michael, then Phillips. And I eventually found myself on the hijacked plane to Sanct Sybil-"

"What to do you mean by 'hijacked plane'?!"

(Oops, I guess Yakov didn't tell Sergei about the plane) "Never mind that, after I got off the plane Yakov brought me to the castle, because my passport was ruined." 

"If I may ask," I nod and wait for him to continue. "What was it that you had to do while you were in Oriens?" 

"I don't believe that you'll understand, but I had to marry my betrothed when he turned 18. He's been like an older brother to me since I was little, and I just couldn't imagine myself marrying him." 

"You're right, I don't understand, but if he's your betrothed than you should go back to Oriens and marry him."

"Do you even know who I'm talking about?!"

"My guess is Prince Glenn, since both him, his brother, and his butler are all here just to see you."

"Mhmm..." I look away from Sergei and gently take Yakov's hand in my own. 

Sergei looks away from me and walks towards the door. He slightly opens the door and I hear him say something. "Prince Glenn wanted to see you."

"Okay, thank you, Sergei." I walk through the door and see Glenn standing in the hallway with Alan. 

Glenn walks up to me and gently takes my hand in his. I look up at him and our eyes meet. I quickly look away and feel Glenn lift my chin with his hand. I try not to look up at him, as I feel Alan pull on my gown. I pull away from Glenn and look down at Alan. 

"Yami? Are you coming home with us?" 

I kneel down in front of Alan and give him a soft smile. "I would love to Alan, but I-"

"If you want to come home, then why can't you?"

"Alan, I love both you and your brother, but I'm afraid that... I don't want to come home. I-" I trail off and look down at the ground. 

As I am about to stand back up, I feel Alan hug me tightly. "Please sis, come home."

I don't respond to him, I just hug him back. I pull away from the hug and stand up. I look up at Glenn, then back at the ground. "Alan, will you go wait with Yu, please?" 

I look down at Alan, and watch as he runs down the hall. Once he's out of my sight, Glen pulls me into a gentle hug. I feel his left hand gently stroke my hair as I rest my head on his chest. 

"Yami?"

"Yes, Glenn?"

"I love you..."

I feel tears fill my eyes and I bury my face in his chest. He tightens his grip around me and I try to stop my tears from flowing. "Glenn, I-"

"I know, Yami."

I pull away from him and wipe away my tears. "No, you don't." I turn around and crack open the door to Yakov's room. I quietly walk into the room and look down at Yakov. I hear Glenn walk into the room and close the door behind him. He walks up to me and I feel his body against my back. He wraps both of his arms around my waist and I feel him rest his head on my shoulder. 

"You love him, Yami. I can see that much. You don't have to tell me the rest, but if you do, you can tell me over the phone from Sanct Sybil." I quickly turn around to look at Glenn with his arms still wrapped tightly around me. 

"Really, I can stay?"

He nods his head and I tightly wrap my arms around him. "Thank you!"

"I'll go tell Alan and Roberto, but promise me that you'll come and visit soon."

"I promise, Glenn." 

I pull away from Glenn and kneel down next to Yakov's bed. I watch as Glenn leaves the room and closes the door behind him. I gently takes Yakov's hand in my own and take the letter out of my pocket with the other. I crush the letter in my hand and throw it into the trash bin. I look down at the floor and smile. "I can't believe I can stay." I whisper.

"I can't believe it either." I quickly look up and see Yakov smiling at me. I feel tears run down my cheeks as I cover my face with my hands. I feel Yakov's hand against my own and I quickly stand up to help him sit up. I feel his hand against my left cheek as I try to stop my tears from falling. "Yami?"

"Yes, Yakov?"

"Hey," I see his soft smile and pull him into a tight hug. I feel him stroke my hair, as I bury my face in his chest. "Come here." I sit on the side of the bed and he pulls me in closer. 

"Yakov, I should go tell everyone that you've woken." I look up at him, to see him frowning. 

"Not yet," he moves my bangs out of my face and he smiles. "Your eyes are beautiful, Yami."

I slowly pull away from Yakov and stand up. "I should go tell everyone now."

"Alright..." 

I walk out of the room to see Sergei sitting in the chair with a troubled expression. "Um, Sergei?"

"What is it?" 

"It's Yakov... he's awake."

"What!?" Sergei quickly stands up and runs into the room. I run in after him, and see him run straight up to Yakov and pull him into a tight hug. I quietly laugh, then walk back out of the room. I see Roberto and Glenn talking to each other in the hallway and walk up to them. 

"Yami, you're staying in Sanct Sybil?" Roberto asks.

"Yes, but um-"

"What about the marriage?" He asks Glenn.

"I'll find someone else, but I'm sure Yami will be happy here in Sanct Sybil." Glenn answers. 

I smile up at Glenn then look back in the direction of Yakov's room. When I look back at Roberto and Glenn they have started a new conversation. "Um... Roberto? Glenn?"

They don't answer me. I place my hands on both of their shoulders and shake them. "Guys!"

"What?" The answer in unison. 

"Yakov's awake."

"Why didn't you say something?!" Roberto asks as he starts to walk towards Yakov's room.

Glenn and I follow after Roberto and walk into Yakov's room.
