In the end

2.

When everyone left, I just stood with my back turned to Garrett and the Queen. I was looking down my feet. I was anxious. I didn't want to say it yet. I took a few breaths and he putted his hand on my shoulder without turning me around. I just looked back at him. He looked me in the eyes. As if he was able to read my thoughts. Then I noticed the bright blue eye and his brown one. I pushed his hand and retreated quickly.
I know this light....It can't be.
Without uttering a word I run. Didn't even look back to see if he was after me. I ran as fast as I could passing by the guards and leaving them in confusion. My worst nightmares came back to life again.

When I arrived at the port I saw the captain with his crew exiting the tavern. I just passed in front of them and went on the ship. Standing on the deck I looked up from where I stood. Then climbed the crow's nest which turned out to be a very quiet and relaxing place for me over the years. Especially to think about complicated stuff. I sat down and looked out at the ocean. I thought about Garrett's light blue eye.
The premonition was about a man with an eye bright as the light and the other dark as the depths of infinity. He is a sinner and a regretter. He lost a lot but will gain if the right way he chooses....
I regularly have dreams and a person telling me about important events that might take place. And Garrett is the one this time. I felt a droplet on my palm. I looked up and saw no cloud. I realised I was crying. I didn't stop though. The tears just came rolling. Regretting for not being able to tell the truth. For lying that day that I would return to them but never did. For not telling what I could change, for the fact that the city would turn out this way.

Startling me, I heard the crew shout at someone. I looked down carefully not showing any evidence that I am up here. I couldn't make out the figure from so high but I had a feeling it was Garrett. The figure moved to the ropes that went up the crow's nest.
Oh shoot. Please don't come up here just forget about me . Forget I even existed. I don't want to hurt you. I don't- .
"Lena...".
I saw him there standing. Looking down on me. I didn't say a word. Scared I might say the whole truth. He slowly crouched in front of me and then sat the same way I was. He just stared at me. I had noticed as well that he had an patch on his eye. I just sighed at the sight. He must've had thought I was scared of the eye. If only he could know the truth. I pointed at his covered eye and said.
"Take it off. If you think I got scared of that, you must have raised a real scaredy cat.".
Looking at me as if trying to find any clues to confirm my request, he took it off. I stared at it again. I actually found it a bit of attractive but didn't say a word. He just stared at me and I stared back. I took a breath in and told him
"Garrett please promise me you won't say a word. What you are about to hear might make you angry and not want to talk to me. So if after hearing me out, you don't want to see me.... You are free to leave. You can as well decide to not talk to me.".
He just nodded and waited for me to continue. Getting stressed I started to tremble a little and caught my hands together. Then I started.
"The reason I left, was because I knew all along that Erin would had died. I knew she would fall from the glass made ceiling along with you. I knew you would become what you are today."
He looked at me with terrified eyes but he didn't show any sign of emotion on the face. I stopped and he was thinking whether he should listen or not. Scared of losing him tears started coming out of my eyes. He noticed and started wiping them off. Then he said
" If it is difficult to for you to say it.... it is fine. You can always tell me next time whenever you are ready." Looking at him with wide eyes, I slowly smiled at him.
