I am Prince Laen Braed. If you are familiar with the stories of @LaDameBlanche, specifically The Dark Series, The Dark Prince etc, you will already know much of my story. These are excerpts from my diary beginning in 1842 shortly before my sixteenth birthday. I am doing this under protest as apparently it will be "good for me". I heartily disagree and hope you will leave well alone and not read a word and we can put this behind us. Anyway. Here it is. Do as you will. Laen.

The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.

Sometimes the darkness just has a tendency to consume you with secrets and lies. It pulls you down into the depths of itself and further away from the happiness and sunshine you once possessed. That’s pretty much what happened to me. First there’s Jase. He’s my best friend. If anything, he’s been the only life preserver I have to keep my afloat. Without him, I’d be nothing but consumed by darkness. Then there’s Lyss. She’s my other best friend. I love her to death, really. She’s amazing. After her is Hunter. He’s my boyfriend. He has a secret, though. A secret that has forced me to lie to everyone, even Lyss and Jase. Keeping the secret and lying to them has only brought me further into the dark. It spawned my own secrets and lies. My life changed from being something that I loved to dreading waking up every day. It also doesn’t help that I suffer depression. Now I’m fighting just to make it through. It’s getting harder and harder every day, and it doesn’t help that I’m practically drowning in all of the secrets and lies that have become a part of my life. But, what can I do? I guess we’ll have to wait and find out, and hope that I survive. *The only reason this is rated R is because of the language. It drops the F-bomb a lot...*
