Two years before her anticipating death

Never go back to whatever hurt you. So they say. Her past was still haunting her. She was still looking for him. Ciel, that is.

There were still instances that she goes back to this deep forest whenever she visits Leviathan's household, mourning of her person who filled in the void of the original owner's life.

Her heart feels like being clenched as what the original owner's feeling become one with her. Since ten years ago, she decided to plant flowers under the tree where she strongly believed where the tree house was built. However, the seed of pain planted a fire in her broken heart. She reaped almost nothing but a basket of wilted love.

SHE continued to cultivate the plants since the duke and the duchess treated her as if she belongs to the said powerful Leviathan household. It's spring but it felt like it's fall. She felt so gloomy as the memories of her past flashed into her mind seeing the tree.

As she walked through the wilderness, she heard someone from afar calls her name. It's a very faint. And it's a voice that appears on her dreams often. A voice that gets deeper as years passes by. She closed her eyes to listen to the voice slowly fading. She's trying to follow where the voice comes from.

As she took steps to follow the voice, her surrounding starts to get colder. Then, she bumped into something hard. She opened her eyes then a crimson eyes were locked into Selene's deep brown eyes that sparkles as he lowered his head. She couldn't described the intensity of his gaze. Her eyes glimmers as she felt the tremor of his kiss.

Spain saw Selene walking towards the deep part of the forest. He always followed her since the incident when they were young. It was puzzling that his young lady seems to be mesmerized by an ordinary tree. He had grown following and guiding her from a distance. He swore not to let anything happen to her. And this! It's happening again. Selene seems to be hypnotized in going to somewhere so he followed her and blocked her way to who knows where it is trying to lead Selene.

He felt heat in his cheek as he met her eyes melting into golden rays circling an eclipse which he considered as a glimpse of heaven that silence the hell inside of him. Her eyes turned into a sunset of their own and bring light into his dim life. He couldn't control himself and lowered his head and meet his fiance's lips. He was shaking while giving her a kiss. He whispered, "So this is where you've been. It is your sixteenth birthday, milady."

The kiss and what this crimson eyed man said snapped back Selene to reality. It would be just two years before her anticipated event and on her sixteenth birthday, she would be appointed as Countess. She was indulged learning what this new world holds that she almost lost track of her destiny. 'Why does that book never gave a back story for the countess? Then I would have never trouble learning this on my own!'
