My black dress floats down around me like water. It makes me feel beautiful for the first time. I laugh, thinking about how surprised Torin would be to see me out of my pure white armor. This is the first time that I haven't worn it in front of him.
I had also changed my hair and eyes for the occasion. My hair is a dark brown shimmering with the elemental colors, green, gold, red, blue and purple. They are only faint glimmers that I placed there to compliment the dark silver of my eyes.
The doorbell rings. He is here. Anticipation and excitement should be building but my chest feels strangely hollow. I do not pause to think about this as I am too busy opening the door. There he stands. His black hair settling just above his shoulders and his dark gray, almost black eyes piercing my soul.
We reach out our hands but the moment our fingertips touch a hole appears where his heart used to be. I hold his heart in my hand as I tear out my own. I am laughing manically as he falls as if in slow motion to the bare earth.
"No!" I shout and jerk awake.
