CAMILLA POV...
He's gone.
He's actually gone.
I know it is painful, but it is also strangely calm. Like a blow in the wind—you feel it, but you cannot hold it.
He was not perfect. I cannot say he was. But he was amazing. And perhaps everything amazing slips away too fast.
Except for this gift in my belly. I had a scan. It is a boy.
My boy.
What name should I give him? Lucian? No. Too heavy. Too cruel. Too much like a ghost.
Don't go. Don't go, Lucian.

I saw the golden casket lowered into the earth. The soil was wet. The sky was grey. My world was ending.
"You fool. You devil. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"
Amelia's voice cut through my thoughts like a blade. She was screaming at me. Her face was twisted, red, unrecognizable.
I opened my mouth. No words came.
Everyone called me a demon. They believed anyone close to me dies.
Are they true? Are they false?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!
