When the night comes

"Let me fall in love with you." With his ocean blue eyes, he looks at me. "I can't ...We are enemies." "I-" I know that. I doubt anyone knows it better than us. But still I can't help it. I want to love you. I want you to love me. I want us to be together. I wish I could declare this to whole world. Slowly extending his hands towards me, he says"One day we will not be enemies, maybe then we can be lovers." What do I say to that? Do I tell him I will wait... Or question him when? I have so many questions to ask him. But again how do I break it to him. "..." "n.." His gaze stuck on me for a while finally disappears. Facing straight, he finally breaks the silence with a soft wispher"Not just lovers." "Yes." I question him not believing my ears. Maybe the whistle of air is hindering my hearing. He whimpers. Completely turning away his head, he adds"Not just lovers but spouses." "Are you proposing to me?" I couldn't believe my ears, I couldn't believe reality. I am dreaming, aren't I? Maybe the night's cold is finally getting to me. "Yes,I will you accept?" He heard that. Noway did I speak aloud? Huh. The tips of his ear are little red. He is so cute. I can't help but smile to that. "You do realize you are asking me to wait to date right?" He turns and stares me down in eyes. He looks pitful. Maybe to an outsiders, it looks like I am bullying him. "I will give you the answer when we aren't enemies. He looked away. He had a frown on his face. "When the night comes, will we meet again." I asked him, gazing upon the stars in the sky. " When the night comes, I will also come with it." His replied made my heart tingle. "But I don't know about you." My face had a soft smile.

Chapter 1(soon to be updated)

"Clank"

In drak night, a group of five had set out on a journey.Echoes of their footsteps ringed through out the cold, vast jungle. The long and dense trees hid the light from the moon and the stars. If it weren't for the tourches in these people's hands, the whole wood would have been engulfed in darkess.

The group of people were distinct. Maybe setting on a journey on a cold night in the forest had something to do with it. But one could not deny the people themselves felt quite...odd.

In the group, each in the back and front were a male and a female adorned with armory and equipped with heavy arms. The elegant aura of man in the front,separated him from others. In the very centre of the formation, stood a woman, clearly around her twenties. Her light blonde hair contrasted the red rosy skin. The shallow dark circle complemented her hazel eyes. Adorned with black robe and silver gown, she looked more beautiful than moon just like the name, she had received 'Solis'. Yet the thing that stood out was the shackles on her hands and feet. That woman happened to be me.

Currently, I am being dragged to the liar of the night dragon,'Twilight' as an offering.

"Hah" I let out a laugh thinking about my helplessness.

"So, you have lost it now." The dark red haired man before me spoke with a calm voice.

"No,I haven't." I replied. He didn't respond nor did he stopped. The man before me is the second prince of this country 'Aster'. And the brother of the person,I wish to destroy. Just thinking about him makes my stomach ache. I feel my insides being pulled. Disgusting.

"Lady Solis" With peircing voice, he calls out.

"Thud" With his sudden stop, I bumb with him.

"Why did you do that? It was going all right, no?"He faced me. I glared at him.

"And I told you, I never did it?" I shouted back.

"Are you proposing the oracle is a lie then. The pope lied." He grabbed the collar of robe."Your lies have gone too far. Please stop."He hit his face with his palm. "As far as I can remember, my brother adored you more than the heaven."

"That's why he choose the heaven." My voice screeched.

"You possibly won't understand. And I can't bother explaining. So let us bid each other farewell forever, lady." I stepped back with each of his steps towards me.

"..." He hault.

"Do you want to rome the jungle in shackles."

I came forward, extended my hands and he unshackled me. It felt a lot lighter from a while ago. But he still holded my hands.

"Let go." I resisted.

He bent down towards me. "Don't forget why you are here? If you fail, he will be disappointed." He wishpered softly to my ear. I doubt even the knights around us could have heard that.

How dare he. I don't care about him anymore, the crown prince.

"Now then, we will be leaving." He declared, letting go of my hand. He walked towards the path from where we had came. And the knights followed him. Their shadows gradually left with the light they carried. After a while, even their footsteps silenced.I was all alone now.

It was scary. The darkness has finally engulfed the forest. It appeared as if the trees had gotten taller. The cries of animals and bird grew larger by minute. Almost as them warning me to leave, to never come back. But where could I go?

Aster's voiced ringed in my head. 'Don't forget why you are here. If you fail, he will be disappointed.' My heart squeezed. I couldn't help but wonder, how could one be disappointed if someone fails to die.

I regret it, everything. Why did I abandoned everything for him? Why? Just why? A tear fell from my eyes. Help me. Someone help me. I slapped myself. What am I thinking? I don't need anyone's help. I rubbed my eyes.

"Don't worry, I have a plan." I wishpered trying to consult myself.

If he helps me, I am sure I can destroy even God. But will he do it. He will right. I have a trump card myself. I just need to meet him. But how?

While I was lost in my thoughts, a hand grabbed my shoulder.

"Ahhhhh." I felt my heart jump out. "Ghosts don't exists, especially in jungle."

"That contradicts from the truth." A soft voice answered. "And I am not a ghost."

Wait could it be. I turned to my back. There stood a young man. He had obsidian bluish black hair with a slight highlight of white. The hair strongly contrasted his creamy white skin. He was tall. Naturally even a simple black robe looked beautiful on him. All of that with his ocean blue eyes, he looked outstanding.

"Leave." He broke the silence with a sharp voice.

"I can't. I-"

Again with his peircing voice, he cut my respond short. "I do not care who you are?" He turned his back, ready to leave. I grabbed his robe.

"I will die." He paused.

Without turning his back, he asked, "how can you say so?"

"The girl that was offered before me die." The atmosphere grew silent. He stood there. I did not see his expression. But the air had become tighter. I slowly released him from my grip.

"I am Solis." I broke the silence.

"A human?" He questioned. Still facing my opposite

"Y-yes." I replied in a daze. It felt like the night had gone colder. 'A little chilly than before.'

"I do not care what you humans do. So leave."My eyes widened. I opened my lips only to close it again.

"I know where it is." I said. My only hope, my trump card.

"It?" Finally he looked me in my eyes.

"Silver light." His eyes widened.

"I- it, ha. You humans are the worst, aren't you?" His face had a wicked smile. "Fine. I will cooperate. At least for now."
