A/N: This is a sequel to Parallels - if you've not read that story, you probably won't understand this one, so go read that one first. If you have, enjoy this!

Prologue

"I have no choice."

"You do have a choice."

"Not if I want to keep my family safe, I don't!"

"You'll hurt them like this, you know that."

"Better hurt than dead. I can explain everything once victory is mine."

"Assuming it will be yours. If you fail, and no one else outside of this island knows of the threat-"

"I won't fail."

"If you do, and there is no one to take up your mission, then all worlds will be in danger! My sun and stars-"

"It is my sun and stars I am trying to protect! The one I love!"

"You'll protect them by breaking their hearts?"

"Yes. I'll plant the seeds tomorrow. Water them and- and reap the crop I sow. File for divorce as soon as I can."

"You will only harvest deadly nightshade this way."

"I know. But it is the only way. I love them too much."

A/N: Chapter One will be up very soon, but review please!
