"Like what?" Will asked.

"You. The Dark Courts. What you like, what you dislike." She looked at him. "Just, talk to me."

"Okay.. My full name is William James Nox, I'm 23..." Will started.

She sat up, listening to him.

Will tried to think, figuring out what to say.

"Just tell me about yourself. Anything. Your fears, your strengths, your likes, dislikes..."

"Fears, don't know, being trapped I guess. Strengths, being extremely reckless and never getting killed." Will replied.

She chuckled. "Never getting killed? Really?"

"Or seriously injured." Will added.

She rolled her eyes. "You do get seriously injured, Will, what about last time?"

"That wasn't very bad.." He shrugged.

She snorted. "That was pretty bad. What's your greatest fear?"

"Hmmmm, I don't really know. There isn't much that really scares me..." Will shrugged.

"Someone's egotistical." She muttered.

"Losing the people I care about, I guess..." Will admitted quietly. He looked at the sky.

She laid back against him. "One thing you always wanted to do but you can't?"

"Fly..." He said quietly. Will looked at her.

"Flying." She laughed. "Of course. One thing you hate the most?"

"Ducks, well no. Not ducks. I don't like ducks but whatever... The separation between lights and darks...." Will replied.

"Yeah, me too." She whispered. "Maybe when we become rulers we can form an alliance."

"I hope so..." He whispered.

She closed her eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.

Will smiled when she fell asleep.


((Should they both fall asleep then in the morning, guards from both sides are there, taking them both back to their sides?))

((Sure could you start?))

((Sure.))


Will had fallen asleep with her in the fields. He awoke with the sun shining in his face.

Alina breathed out slowly, still sleeping.

Will looked around. He smiled faintly when he saw her asleep beside him.

Alina woke up when he moved. "Will?" She asked, a bit dazed.

"Good morning, Alina..." He says sleepily.

"Morning." She sat up. "Oh god, its so late."

Will sat up next to her. He sighed, frowning.

"Are those guards?" She squinted off into the distance.

Will looked in the direction she was looking. "I can't tell.."

"I think so.." she stood up. "I need to go. I'm gonna have to think of a good excuse."

Will stood up beside her. "I'm sorry..." He whispered.


When the guards saw the two figures together, one wearing white, one black, they jogged toward them.

"Don't be." She gritted her teeth. "I can get out. Take care of yourself."

((Maybe time jump to a year? They havent seen each other for a whole year but then her father passed away and its time for coronation for her to be leader which is why the Darks are also invited and they meet each other again?))

Will nodded. He gave her a quick hug and kiss. "Go." He whispered. He was afraid that that would be the last time they'd see each other.



((Sure! Do you want him to be a leader at that time or not yet?))

((Mmmm that's your decision but why not?))

((I'm fine either way so you pick. Also, can you start?))

((Okay))

Alina was getting ready in her chamber. She wore a long, white gown with beautiful peach colored lacework all over and jewels studded ornaments. Over the year she had changed; her hair was shorter, she was a bit taller and had learnt to take authority of any situation. She was still upset about her father but her anxiety topped her depression tonight. She neverously fiddled with her hair.

Will got dressed, getting ready to head to the Light coronation. He was now the leader of the Darks, his parents both were killed in an attack on the castle. His thoughts drifted to Alina, the girl he had fallen for over a year ago. Will sighed and shook his head, staring at his reflection in the mirror. His hair was shorter and had been dyed black. He still had the gauges and the lip ring but he was taller and skinnier now.

((I probably need to go soon, just warning you in case))

Alina wondered about Will, thinking if he could remember her. She was going to be the leader now and she hoped to be a good one. Her father died of a heart attack, all of a sudden. She barely had time to grieve. She sighed heavily.

Will sighed and left his room. He met up with his guard who was his best friend. "Let's go." He told him. The guard nodded and they left to travel to the event. Will felt odd, he was used to going to events like this with his parents, not alone.

Alina hadn't been in one of these for a long time, since her father fell sick. But this was different; this was her feast, her coronation. She would be the official leader. Wincing, she looked out, spotting the Darks' arrival.

Will talked with his guard while they walked, looking around. He ran a hand through his hair.

After being picked at a bit more, she went downstairs a trail of guard and ladies after and before her. They announced her before she came in, and she entered a room of bowing Lights. She took a sharp breath in.

Will and his one guard were the only darks there. It was an event for the lights. The dark leader was the only dark there. He bowed just like the other lights.

She waited until they all rose before entering and sitting on the throne.

Will was in the back of the room. He looked at her, biting his lip.

Alina looked around but was unable to spot him. After a bit, she stepped down on the center of the floor.
