Ileana's POV:
Mircea died yesterday. He was holding the teddy bear that Alexei sent him. I can't even begin to accept it. Nikolai got better last week and I just didn't ever think that my poor baby brother would go so early- so easily. It's unbearable. I hate it. I hate this feeling of helplessness. I'm- I'm- frustrated! Why is the world falling apart? Every thing I know seems to hang treacherously over a boiling cauldron of unrest that's toxic contents scald us above as it boils and brews. And the person I hold dearest is countries away. Far beyond my reach- and seemingly more content than I am. I know I shouldn't be jealous. He must have problems there too. But his playful puppy-love letters aren't what I want right now. I want passionate letters full of his deepest thoughts and heart felt advice. I know he cares- I do... it's just hard. Too hard. Why? What is this stress that I feel? What is it that I need to do to alleviate it? My heart is sore, and bleeding out... no one can help me. I'm suffering. My brother, little Mircea. He can't be gone. Not really gone. I feel as though he is just on a holiday for a while and I will see him soon. But he's not. I know he is- was, and innocent and loving child. He is in heaven now. Please little brother, watch over us down here. Send help- send hope.
