Sana's POV

It has been exactly ten days since that incident happened.

I'm still stuck inside my room, my friends are not allowed to visit me.

I was only being fed once per day. 

"Was this his way of punishing me?"  I thought to myself as I am now staring at the ceiling.

These past few days, I felt lifeless.

Was it because of what he did? Was of because of my loneliness?

Or was it because I miss her? Well, I obviously do.

Then the door opened, revealing that monster.

"How are you, my daughter?" He asked and faked a smile at me.

"Don't call me that, you're not my father," I answered, making him grit his teeth.

"I still am, Sakura. I was never not your father," He answered giving me food.

"I'm not hungry," I said as my stomach growled like there were lions that were not fed in years.

"Eat up, you'll starve. Do you not want to see her anymore?" He spoke then asked.

What is this?

I took the plate from his hands and started to eat.

After a few moments I finished and he let me drink some water.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked him.

"You're my daughter, Sakura," He answered.

"So are you really going to let me see her?" I asked as he chuckled.

"You're my daughter, but no," He answered as I sighed.

"Can you just leave?" I asked him.

"Sakura, I don't want you to get hurt. You know she's no goo-" He said but I cut him off.

"She's not good, She's simply the best," I answer, feeling the anger flow through my whole body.

"I'm already hurt about what you did, don't let me kill myself because you won't bring me to her," I added, but he laughed it off.

"You can't do that. What would she feel when you die? She'd kill herself too, and you'll be selfish, my daughter," He said and smirked.

Was it really selfish?

Or was it his way to manipulate my life again?

"Again, don't call me your daughter. I don't know you," I answered.

"You know me since childhood, princess. But, not all princesses have happy endings. Some have horrible ones," He spoke.

"If I'm a princess, then you're the witch," I answered.

"If I am the witch, then you grew up well," He said still having the same annoying smile on his face.

I grew up well? 

I grew up as my parents called me a failure, only getting proud when 

"Anyway, you won't ever see Dianne again. She'll be leaving town tomorrow. And after that, you'd get to live life again," He added as my heart broke. Again.

She's leaving me here?

"You're joking , right? She can't leave me. Let me see her," I said, now on the verge of crying again.

When it comes to Dianne, why do I cry?

Why can't I live a life without her?

"Well, I have other things to do, Sakura. I'll be chatting with you later. Cry all you want, she won't change her mind about leaving," He said and quickly left my room.

And here I am, alone again. But I'm glad he left.

I'm not glad about Dianne leaving though.

I mean, who would be glad?

Time passed and the moon was already up. 

I looked up to see the sky. Where we both used to look up to.

I then remembered something that you once told me...

"Like the lonely moon above the night sky. Its light light comes from the sun. Which means that it's not alone. You know? A sudden feeling of contentment?" 

I know that you'd always be there for me, so I am not alone. 

I feel contentment when I'm around you.

So maybe that's why I feel this way.

Am I going to feel empty once you leave?

I feel dead inside now. I need you now, Dianne.

Do you need me too?

I then looked down to see that the distance from my room down to the ground is  not that high.

Oh no, why am I thinking this?

Should I?

Well, let destiny decide.

I closed my eyes, and the next thing I knew is that I'm now outside the house.

Thank God, they didn't close the windows.

I quickly headed out and called for a carriage.

I can feel that you're waiting for me to be with you again.

Just wait, I will be there.

I asked to stop at where we usually stay.

The lake side.

I quickly got out the carriage and ran to that place.

And there you were. Just sitting on the ground looking at the sky.

But then you turned around in shock to see me.

You then ran to hug me tight. Like there's no tomorrow.

Well, there might be no tomorrow for us. She'll be leaving.

But... Can I possibly stop her?
