"WHAT- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"

"Hyacinth, when people are reborn, not only do the immortals alive who knew them would forget them, they would also forget their past lives, and everyone in it. Some smells, sights, or sounds will strike a feeling if reminisance in them but they won't remember anything unless someone reminds them. They would maintain the same first name but a different last name as this time, they would be born from a different mother. This Victor, its very evident from these given facts that he's lying about rebirth"

I held a scream of frustration in as they all back away from my bright red fiery hair bursting into large uninstiguishable flames. I can't believe it and I won't believe it! Victor is the Captain! He said so himself! This all can't be true.

"I can't believe it! I'm so stupid!" I shouted out in frustration.

"Its official you have to stay away from this creep" Mal demanded. She wasn't even requesting. She was demanding. Like she controlled my life. For that, I became even more mad. I glared at her.

"No! I won't accept it Mal! I will question him personally later. You all could be lying!" I retorted.

"You trust this creep more than us?" Mal fired back with a hurt expression on her face.

"The creep's name is Victor and he's the closest I've ever found of the Captain. It's my life so I suggest you lay off!" With that I stomped angrily away from them and out of the cafeteria not caring that the notion attracted a lot of attention as I visciously opened and slammed the door on the my way out of there.

All I could see was red as I stomped around like a mad toro in the ring. I walked to wherever my feet led me. I bust out of the school hallways and out onto the sunlight glaring down on me not caring if I skipped class. Whatever they taught, I had a thousand years to perfect anyway.

I continue to stomp my way through the grass and collasped under the shade of a tall tree banging my head on it's trunk. What. The. Bloody. Styx. Is. Happening. I can't even believe my life anymore. I find my Phantom, my Captain, and all this crap happens? Makes me wish I never found the guy I was looking for for a thousand years.

I continued to violently bang my head on the tree trunk not caring if any passerby saw and looked at me like I was possesed. Although possessing a daughter of Hades is practically impossible. I bang my head again and again and again so hard against the trunk that if I were my mortal, my skull would definitely be split open by now. With every hit, it was accompanied with a grunt or scream of frustration.

I was about to bang it again when I felt my head touch a soft surface of a hand instead of the tree's rough bark. I look up to glare at whoever the hell it is but my eyes soon soften at the person.

"Harry" I whispered out his name. I missed him so much. During the week Victor's been around he wouldn't talk to me. Wouldn't even glance in my general direction. It was like when we were feuding again. It broke my heart.

He smirked at me before sitting down on the grass beside me. He cups my right cheek in his warm hand and gently pulls my head closer to him so he could plant a soft kiss on my forehead which thumped painfully. I could feel the smirk of his lips on my skin. I sigh in content and rest my aching head on his shoulder. I immediately relax in his touch.

He laughs for a bit making me smile amidst my headache and he strokes my hair. He sighs deeply. "I wish we could always be like this" he says in a soft and gentle voice.

I remove my head from his shoulder and held his hand that had been stroking my hair. "We can always be like this" I replied smiling softly and putting a hand on his cheek.

Suddenly his expression morphs into an emotion I can't put my finger on. Sadness? Remorse? Regret? I can't tell. I'm not the goddess of emotions.

"You mean it in a friendly way Hyacinth. I always meant it to be something more" he says removing my hand from his cheek and grasping it tightly.

I could feel a blush making its way to my cheeks and my whole face heat up. My heartbeat sped up and I hesitated on what to say to that.

"H-Harry, what do you-"

He cut me off.

"You know what I mean princess" he said with a sharp glare that made me shut up. But then his expression softens and he turns to the ground with a sighs. He squeezes my hand tightly and I squeeze back.

"Remember that night I told you that you would find your prince someday?"

I nodded silently.

"Well, I've been avoiding you for a week because I've been thinking about that and many other stuff related to it. It turns out you've already found your prince ages ago!" He laughed dryly. "But then you lost him. You spend thousands and thousands of years and loneliness looking for him but all your efforts turned out to be a dead end or a shot in the dark. I can only imagine how painful that is. To look for something you dont know what. To feel a part of you always missing and nothing could fill that whole in your heart"

I nodded my head as he described how I felt perfectly.

"Now that you have seemingly found him back, there's no way i can take that away from you. Its selfish of me. I love you too much to do that to you"

I could feel my heart swell and the tears coming to me. I dropped one lone tear and he quickly wiped it away. I look at him and see him give me a sad smile through my blurred teary eyes. "Harry I-I..."

He puts a finger to my lips and shushes me. His face is dangerously close. I could feel his warm breath on my face. He holds both my cheeks in his hands. I could sense he was contemplating and battling in his mind through what I see in his eyes. Then finally looking like he made his descision, our lips meet and he closes the gap between us.

I gasp and freeze in shock as he kisses me ferociously and full of passion yet in a strange way, gently as if I were a delicate flower. My heart soared and my hands found its way to his chest feeling his heartbeat. It was beating in time with mine. Here at this moment, I knew. That this felt right.

As I close my eyes about to respond to his sweet lips, he pulls away from me making the kiss short. I can't help but feel disappointed. I look at his face that held a bittersweet smile. Still holding on to my cheeks, he looks down on the ground in shame of what he did.

"Hyacinth, I love you. And I love you too much to selfishly keep you to myself only to make you miserable. If he makes you happy then I'm happy for you" without another word he lets go of my cheeks and ran off. I instantly feel the harsh cold wind on my face. I wished for his hands to hold me again.

In shock, I sit there staring at nothing like a deer in headlights for a good two seconds before recovering. I race after Harry's running figure going towards the building. I call out after him but he ignores me.

"Harry! Harry! Wait!"

He vanishes into the building. When I dashed into the place I saw nothing but empty hallways. No sign of Harry. I sigh tiredly. This was such a long day. Just then, the thought hits me like a stampede of hellhounds.

Harry loves me. He said he loves me enough to let me go. I remember our kiss and his heartbroken face. I could almost hear his heart tearing into peices as he said he would let me go. He looked so hurt and desperate. He looked like he was in such agony knowing the one thing he wants is out of his reach.

One thought of his heartbroken face was all it took to break my own heart and make me burst into tears right then and there on that hallway. As I sobbed violently, I ran for my room. Upon arriving, I slammed the door shut and threw myself unto my bed crying my heart out.
