Caroline's P.O.V.

I awaken and heavily breathe and remember the dream. I don't know why I care so much about him but seeing him die like that makes me want to scream... It makes me want to cry! Getting up I go to where Will is sleeping. The key I use causes the lock to click and I swing open the door with my hand. I see Will in front of a full length mirror. "Will? I didn't think you'd be up so early. Did you just wake up?" I say asking him two questions. "Yes, did." Will says in a stern tone of voice than in his more confused tone from being in a completely world but I don't think much more of how he sounds. Looking at his reflection in the mirror I notice a purple glint in his eye... Huh? Walking closer for a more further inspection I see his eyes are no longer purple and are now back to being crystal blue. "Huh- I..." I blurt out confused but Will looks at ne. "Caroline, when did you get in here? Teleportation?" Will asks me which causes my expression to become even more confused. "I got here a minute or two ago." Is the answer I give him and I sit on the bed in this room.

Honestly, I've been wanting Will around me for a while now and I've even been getting more overprotective. "Will, I want you to be by my side just for the day " I say sternly and as if I'm not giving him another choice which I'm actually not but I highly doubt he'll mind. "Ok?" He replies with a question type sounding tone as he says it. It's just for a day so he shouldn't feel too against and besides, I make very good protection, even better than Daphnea and Norasha. I give him a hug happy he's okay with that, at least he seems okay with it. He at first has body language indicates he's surprised and about to hold back but he stops and hugs back. Honestly, the feelings I'm feeling are unfamiliar and I think I know what those feelings are... Love. Pulling way I look him in his ocean blue eyes but look away and wonder what to do. Since I'm Queen I'd usually have many things to do but this time I don't really have anything to do which is rare so I guess I could walk around with Will or give him more knowledge about this place. I get up and grab Will's hand.

I might as well admit I'm unconditionally in love with him. I mean, I've never shown such compassion and protectiveness over any other soul like this. Perhaps the girls will help me out with and I do trust those two not to tell anyone about this. In fact, I'm so protective of him the thought of Darkness getting to him makes me furious yet terrified. "Caroline, you're hurting my hand." I hear Will say and I realize I was lost in thought and I was gripping my hands. "S-sorry Will!" I saw a small stutter at the start of my sentence. "It's fine." Will says chuckling a little bit. I lead him to my room which is quite large and it has that dress it had before but it's now black and purple which is fitting especially since it's rare to find any other color than black and purple around here. "Oh, that's new." Will says slightly surprised but would expect that to be it's color if it wasn't red. Letting go of his hand my hands grip onto fists wanting Darkness to completely stay away from him and a thought occurs... What if she actually kills him?! That obviously can't be allowed.

I walk to my large bed and lay on it thinking of how I should tell Daphnea and Norasha about this certain problem. Will is seen looking around the room curious about it. 'I know how you feel about him~' A voice in my head tells me and I turn around to see the one I call "Darkness'. W-wha-" I say stuttering which causes Will to look at me with complete curiosity of what I'm going on about but I can't allow him to know about this. 'I will repeat myself again... I know how you feel about your dearest Will'. Darkness says with a slightly louder tone of voice. 'You can't love him, he is a human. Darkness tells me and upon hearing this I get my teeth and ball my hands into fists from pure anger. 'Sure, nothing lasts but still, it'll be a miracle if he lasts another month. Also, imagine how everyone would react if they found out Queen Caroline fell in love with a human! They'd be so disappointed, reminds me of King Sepiar'. Darkness continues and that name makes my royal blood boil just from hearing his name being mentioned since me and him didn't exactly get along. Not the best father and daughter relationship to be honest.

'There is something important I want you to know'. Darkness says but oddly enough her evil smirk disappears into a serious frown. 'There is something wrong with Will. It's the Illusionist and he is taking over his body'. Darkness continues and it makes my eyes widen. At first I'm just in denial but I think back and remember those purple glimmers in his eyes which is very likely the work of Darkness but I don't know if I can actually take her word for this. I'm so confused, she's a very talented liar but those dreams were possibly the work of the Illusionist. In those dreams Will had those strange crack-like markings which is a feature the Illusionist has. A sigh escapes my lips and before I'm aware of it she disappears into thin air. I of course hate her and don't if I can trust her. Who knows? They may be friends making a plan but then again, why would she bring him u- "Caroline? Is something wrong?" A familiar male voice interrupts my thoughts. "Caroline, you've been staring into space with a shocked look on your face." Will tells me but my eyes widen more noticing a purple glimmer in his eye.

"Will, I think we should sleep together tonight." I tell Will blushing but I'm only trying to make sure he stays safe. 'Ugh, that is vile'. Darkness says but I resist the urge to glare at her so Will doesn't ask anymore questions. "Are you sure?" Will asks and I give him a nod to tell him I'm fine with that.

During our time together we just walk around the castle and talk to Daphnea and Norasha a few times. When it's time we went to sleep I take Will to my bedroom and we lay down in bed together. In my head I can hear Darkness giggling and it pisses me off so I turn my back to Will so I can allow my expression to look like how I feel which is anger. Minutes which feel like hours pass and I feel my eyelids grow heavy. The anger is gone for now at least and I turn myself around to face Will and I see he's already asleep. I admire his appearance in my mind as he sleeps and hear Darkness scoff in my head since she can hear my every thought but I don't care this time around. Before I know it slumber overpowers me and all I see is black. Another dream again? Great... Might as well see what this one's like. The black turns into a ruined building and there is blood on the wall which forms into a sentence, 'I rule everything here. Caroline and Will will be drowning in the depths of Darkness. Caroline will frown into her other side's darkness as Will will fall into mine' - The Illusionist. Is what it says and I know it's the Illusionist from the end of the words. Will is definitely in danger but I'll make sure he stays safe, I know I'm in danger too but I can actually fight back.

(I'll explain why this chapter took so long. I was making some romamtic changes so they could hetva relationship quicker but then they kissed in an earlier chapter which would be confusing and annoying to read all over again so I've decided it's fine the way it is. The relationship will get more built up now)
