Promenade - A sacrificial night

The moon is so bright tonight. As my thoughts circle about that fact, my other half, Nikolai, whispered to me.

"Dianna?" He said, as if he lost sight of me. I looked at him, then our eyes met "hm? I'm here? What is it?" I said while brushing my hand through his hair.

"Prom is tomorrow night, love," he said, and that made my senses wake up.

Tears filled my eyes, rage filled my head, and sadness filled my heart.

"Yeah...." I whispered, he then pressed his face onto my stomach, "Are you going to be okay?"

"Mhm," I replied.

He gazed at me, giving his softest smile. However, I couldn't smile in return because I am mourning under the moonlight.

"I'll be fine..." I felt his soft chuckle in my belly. "Of course, you will," his reply made me fill myself with confidence.

"I'll end everything."

"And I'll be the new beginning."
