The Finale

Ready?
This was it, I told myself. This was the last time I'd look at my boyfriend's face. I struggled with my emotions shortly after his news. War. War, he had said, was terrible.

I tried not to think of the past nights. But it was so difficult. I hated to tell him, not in person. I was going to send him a letter and try not to cry too hard.

"Bye Layla." He simply said. Before I knew it, the train had left. My emotions fell silent as he smiled and waved at me. I sadly smiled. "Don't be too sad, Layla!" Dare shouted. I started laughing for no reason and well, I was happy for a moment. I would not send the letter yet.

I couldn't.

"You ready?" I asked myself.

"Sure. Sure I am." I said confidently.

Set?
And I had done it. I had left Layla with a lie. My name is Daredevil. Daredevil Frozenclaw. I couldn't help but notice how sad she looked. Maybe she suspected...... no, she shouldn't.
