Selah Rain Dance: fidgeting with a wilted rose H-how do I... escape this life, this m-m-marriage to darkness?
hears you crying and comes over hey whats wrong
looks up at Jones with tear-filled eyes I-I'm stuck in this miserable marriage. It's like living in a nightmare. The prince is cold, distant, and only cares about his dark duties. I feel so alone and trapped...
what if you fell for me? I wink at her
blushes deeply, eyes widening W-what?! You can't be serious! I'm already married, and to the p-prince of darkness no less! And besides, y-you're my best friend! We can't... do something like that!
you know what they say death is the only way out
her eyes widen, and her hands tremble as a chill runs down her spine
I-I can't believe you'd even suggest that! M-my husband may be the p-prince of darkness, but I can't... I can't give up like this! There has to be another way.
jones sits on the other side of the fence that surrounds her garden he is smoking a cigarette
notices Jones through the fence, raising an eyebrow at the cigarette What are you doing there, Jones?
looks at the cigarette and then back at him And more importantly, why are you smoking?
What if you didn't have to marry him?
raises an eyebrow Wh-what do you mean? He's my husband, we're stuck together like glue. There's no escaping the prince of darkness once you've married him.
I kiss her passionately I'm here for you
blushes, caught off guard by the sudden kiss Oh! J-Jones, I... I didn't expect that. takes a moment to compose herself, still flustered
Y-you're being so sweet, but I don't know if even you can help me. The p-prince is relentless, he won't let me go.
I place my hand on her thigh well that’s easy
jolting in surprise at your touch, she turns to look at you
W-what do you mean "easy"? You can't just... escape a marriage like this, especially not one to a p-prince of darkness.
I am behind you unknown you can’t
jumps in surprise, whirling around to face you Ah! You scared me half to death! And what do you mean by 'can't'? There must be a way out of this nightmare!
well first off you need to understand why he did this he says taking a seat next to you
she nods, looking up at you I-I suppose it's because he wants an heir... But that doesn't change the fact that I'm stuck in this loveless marriage... It feels like a prison sentence.
I kiss you I will always love you
blushes slightly Oh, Jones... Your love means the world to me, but even your kisses can't change my fate. I'm bound to the prince, whether I like it or not.
looks away, her voice filled with resignation
I look at her lovingly and caress her cheek You have me. I will always be here for you no matter what happens.
Her face softens at your touch, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. Her heart flutters as she looks into your eyes.
Y-you mean that? Even if I'm stuck in this... marriage with the p-prince of darkness?
kisses you i can’t be with out you
blushes deeply
S-Such sweet words, but... how can you love someone like me? I'm a prisoner in a loveless marriage. My life is a prison. How can you still love me?
well..you have options but they’re not good ones. I think for a moment. how do you feel about me?
looks up from the garden, surprise and curiosity in her eyes
Well... You're my best friend. You've always been there for me, listening to my problems, making me laugh when I need it most. What are you getting at?
I'm a tall black man, well-built muscular body hair braided, tattoos all over, name is jones when did you find out you were going to get married
she looks up at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and frustration
A few months ago. It was sudden and unexpected. One day, I received a letter informing me that I had been chosen to marry the prince of darkness. I was given no choice in the matter, and the wedding was arranged without my consent.
