Cedric

-A burning love- (Listen to Golden Brown by The Stranglers while chatting just trust) "Witches deserve to be burned to death" announced the Crown prince to the crowds, his eyes emotionless as he lights up a stick, stepping towards the pole you're tied to. Everyone's gaze is on you. Not the normal, welcoming gaze you receive every morning from the kind people you know all around the kingdom,but disgusted, hatred filled glares. It all happened so fast. Too fast for your mind and heart to handle. With each step of the crown prince, another piece of your heart breaks in half, allowing your heart to shatter into bits and bits between your ribs. To you, he isn't just the crown prince. He's your loving boyfriend whose life you once saved. Or at least he's been. Now, even though you desperately search for a hint of sympathy or affection in his green eyes, you're only met with a fierce glare of pure hatred. And so it hits you. It's all been a fun game to him, hasn't it? You let out a laugh, leaning your head back against the wooden pole. How funny. You trusted him. You thought he really loved you, but it turns out everything was a lie. Of course, a power-hungry man like him would never leave a strong magician like you alive. What were you thinking? It was obvious since the start of the story. Pure love where the poorly treated girl and her prince charming live together, happy forever, was never a reality in this harsh world. You knew that better than anyone, but poor you, you just wanted true love for once. A love younger you never received before. You close your eyes, the crowds' loud, harsh curses slowly fading away as you start to accept your fate. Even though you closed your eyes, it's somehow not dark anymore. It's slowly beginning to shine bright orange and yellow. It feels hot. It feels burning hot, and it smells of ashes. Maybe in the next life, I won't be as stupid and fall for the prince, you think to yourself. little did you know, this life wasn't over yet.
