Keeping up my courage
Foolish as it seems
At night all alone in my dreams
"So...I heard there's a party on New Year's Eve. Any chance you're going? Dancing in December is kind of your family's thing and stuff."-@letsparksfly
"Is this your way of trying to ask me to be your date?" Diane teased with a smirk.
@letsparksfly
SL: what's your ultimate goal?
"Honestly... I really just want to find my family. Remember who I am... Read some books..."
How do you feel about Diane after finding out about her curse?
“My feelings for Diane, whatever they may be, haven’t changed. She’s still the same person. I just gotta take more care around her, trying to keep the fact that I know secret. I want to respect her privacy, though I wish she’d let me help her.
@empress-to-be
“…”
“Well, at least you know now. Yes, I’m cursed. No, I don’t need help. It’s nothing serious. It’s just a simple blood curse. If it were something horrible that I needed help with, I would have asked. But I don’t, so I didn’t. Besides, it’s just nightmares.”
“Viktor told me. I swear I don’t understand how that guy even remembers his own name,” she chuckled.
“Right, right. And you want me to believe that because Diane Nadezhva Romanova always asks for help. She loves being vulnerable. Toootally, “ she rolled her eyes. “I get it, princess. I get not wanting to look…less than strong. But I mean, I can hear you talk in your sleep. Now that it all adds up…you think I’ll just stand by?”
Diane opened her mouth for a witty retort, but closed it again. Zoe... well, she was right. Diane didn't ask for help. It simply wasn't in her nature.
"Of course you won't," she smirked. "You care too much to let it slide." She sighed. "But it's not just wanting to look strong, Zoe. I'm not afraid of them anymore. I haven't been afraid in years. They're simply a minor inconvenience."
@empress-to-be
Closed Starter: Nightmares (Diane/Zoe)
Diane looked around. It was the same as always. She was standing in the great hall of her home, dressed in a long white ballgown. There was a party, a ball... the ball from the day her grandparents were killed.
The girl knew better than to attempt to stop anything. She was too experienced in her nightmares. Instead, she chose to allow herself to enjoy the brief moments of bliss before things fell apart. She walked to the nearest girl and curtsied, taking her hand and leading her into a waltz.
And then, things began burning. As they always did. But nobody reacted. Diane simply watched as everyone around her burned slowly from the inside out, green flames overtaking the whole castle. But she didn't react, not even when the girl she danced with burst into flames herself, burning Diane's hands.
Diane sat up in her bed, a cold sweat covering her body. Not a fearful sweat; just a reaction to the heat her brain thought was around her. She reached to grab the bottle of water by her bed, but winced, hissing in pain. She looked down. "Right," she whispered, remembering the burns. She heard her roommate moving and looked up, sighing. "Good morning, Z. Didn't mean to wake you."

Have you thought about asking one of Hades’ kids to help you chat with your grandparents?
"No. Why should I? They disgraced the family name and because of them, we don't have the title we should."

THIS IS MY IDEA
❝ I can’t believe I’m stuck with her/him all summer.❞
❝ What a total bummer.❞
❝ If I get lucky I’ll get chicken pox.❞
❝ So happy you could come.❞
❝ So happy to be here.❞
❝ This is not my idea of fun.❞
❝ I think we’ve got a deal.❞
❝ This is my idea of a match!❞
❝ We’ve tired all summer but we just can’t lose her/him!❞
❝ You’d think s/he’d take a hint and learn to read.❞
❝ I think you really sort of like her/him fess up.❞
❝ For as long as I remember we’ve been told we’d someday wed.❞
❝ I can do much better I am sure.❞
❝ I see him/her smiling and my knees start buckling.❞
❝ I see inside him/her and my doubts are gone.❞
❝ TIl now I never knew it is you I’ve been dreaming of.❞
❝ This is my idea of love.❞
PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE
❝ We are a band and not a band of animals! ❞
❝ This masquerade is more than I can bear!❞
❝ There goes my reputation, it’s awful this humiliation.❞
❝ Day after day all the prince/ss ever does is practice, practice, practice.❞
❝ Thinking of her/him and the way that it was.❞
❝ S/he’s not happy til s/he’s attacked us.❞
❝ If we refused then he would have sacked us.❞
❝ So we face a life of target practice.❞
FAR LONGER THAN FOREVER
❝ If I could break this spell I’d run to him/her today.❞
❝ Somehow I know he/she’s on his/her way to me.❞
❝ ___, you and I were meant to be.❞
❝ Far longer than forever, I’ll hold you in my heart.❞
❝ It’s almost like you’re here with me although we’re far apart.❞
❝ Far longer than forever, as constant as a star.❞
❝ I close my eyes and I am where you are.❞
❝ Sure as the dawn brings the sunrise, we’ve an unshakable bond.❞
❝ Destined to last for a lifetime and beyond.❞
❝ I swear that I’ll be true.❞
❝ I’ve made an everlasting vow to find a way to you.❞
❝ Far longer than forever, like no love ever known.❞
❝ Far longer than forever, much stronger than forever.❞
❝ With your love I’ll never be alone.❞
NO FEAR
❝ We’re off on a mission!❞
❝ No Fear!❞
❝ There’s danger around us.❞
❝ They’d hurt us if they found us.❞
❝ We have all the courage we require.❞
❝ Try your luck, our plan will fly!❞
❝ This plan if applied’ll be simply suicidal!❞
❝ You’ll be a sitting duck!❞
❝ Suppose that I do this who knows if will live through this?❞
❝ How about a kiss for luck?❞
❝ We will take any dare that the other side’ll dare to dream up.❞
❝ We’ll fight tough, we’ll play fair but we’re sure to win because we’ll team up.❞
❝ S/He’s freaking, frankly speaking.❞
❝ We’re heading for disaster!❞
❝ I would be fine if one of us know how to steer!❞
NO MORE MR. NICE GUY
❝ Gosh,it’s such a hoot to see them quaking.❞
❝ When I’m king/queen they’ll treat me with respect.❞
❝ I can’t wait to watch their poor hearts breaking.❞
❝ Up til now I’ve pulled my punches.❞
❝ I intend to eat their lunches.❞
❝ No more Mr. Nice Guy.❞
❝ If you think that I’m hard-hearted well let me by, i haven’t even started!❞
❝ Soon as my witchcraft has zinged them I’ll gain control of the kingdom.❞
❝ I’m going back to that old black magic.❞
❝ Good behavior is so much duller, time to show my one true color.❞
❝ Baby, Mr. Nice Guy’s history.❞
❝ Vengeance is what I believe in.❞
❝ I don’t get mad, I get even.❞
❝ I’m so good when I’m rotten.❞
❝ I’ll become that nasty, naught, petty, spiteful, wicked, wayward, way delightful, bad guy I was born to be!❞
❝ No more Mr. Nice Guy, that’s not me.❞
PRINCESSES ON PARADE
❝ Every single prince/ss on the planet prayed to be invited to the ball.❞
❝ Most would swim the moat to be here, just to be at this historic gala.❞
❝ Rumor is that at this joyous scene tonight the prince/ss will likely choose his/her future king/queen tonight.❞
❝ This is the likely occasion where the heir to the throne picks a wife/husband.❞
❝ Where have you been all my life?❞

Some things are meant to be
Feels serendipitous this crosses my dash the night I bemoan not being able to see Anastasia on Broadway.
What do the nightmares usually involve?
"They're usually the same thing."
"I'm walking through the palace, but it's burning. There's green fire everywhere. My parents and my brother are trapped in three different rooms. And I can only open one door and save one of them before the roof collapses, and I wake up. Sometimes I wake with burns from the flames... Viktor helps me treat them."
Why are you afraid of confessing your feelings?
"Because I have never felt for anyone the way I do for Zoe. And it scares me."
So, you pretend to not be afraid by Rasputin or his curse but aren’t the nightmares proof of the opposite?
"I'm not afraid of him or his stupid curse. The nightmares are just what the curse does to me. They're my punishment for being a Romanov. I am not afraid. Angry? Yes. Annoyed? Yes. Afraid? Not a chance. I bear the curse proudly, because it means my family was important enough to be cursed. No matter how many injuries I wake up with, I will be afraid of Viktor before I am afraid of that bag of bones."
what do you think about Zoe?
"I think that she's... beautiful. She's not just beautiful. She's... otherworldly. She makes my heart smile, she fills my stomach with butterflies, she makes my palms sweaty. I... I like her. A lot."
