A Visit From the Past
Ariel sat at her vanity combing her hair while Eric sat in the bed reading. “Hey, Eric. Is there anything you haven’t told me that I would need to know? Like, any girlfriends that came before me? You don’t have to tell me. Just curious.” she asked gently. “Where to start with the girlfriends?” he said quietly to himself. “Hmm? I couldn’t hear you. What did you say?” she asked. "Oh...um... actually, yes. I did have other girlfriends before you." he said nervously. He remembered a time when he was very, very close to getting married to a girl named Amelia and tried to avoid telling Ariel. His problem was that he looked guilty whenever he tried not to tell her something. He didn't know how or why she was so good at making him tell, but she was. "Eric, are you hiding something from me?" she asked with a smile. "Hiding something? Why would I have something to hide? I mean do I ever,yes. How do you do that?" he asked. "It's a secret. Now, tell me all about it." she said. "Well...okay. Here it goes."
~FLASHBACK~
Sixteen year old Eric was outside of his castle with his girlfriend Amelia. It was a cold night so Eric took off his jacket and put it on Amelia. He took her over to an Italian restaurant and then to a giant water fountain. He disappeared for one minute and then reappeared knealing down infront of Amelia with a small box in his hands. Then he asked, "Amelia, you have been with me for so much of my life. I'm sorry it took me so long to ask you this but, Amelia, will you marry me?" Amelia screamed and jumped on Eric. "Oh, Eric. Of course I will!" she said.
It was a warm day at the wedding. All of Amelia's family and friends were there as were Eric's. When it was time for Amelia to say "I do", she said, "I...I...I'm sorry. I can't. I just can't. Eric, I love you more than anything in the whole world. And I want to marry you, I really do. But, I can't. And if I tell you why, both our lives will be in danger." Before she could run off, he gently grabbed her hand and said, "Wait, Amelia, what do you mean?" "I can't tell you. But If I could tell you I would. Let's just say say it's one of those, I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you things. Only they would kill me instead of you." she tried to explain. "But wait! Amelia, who is they? I don't understand." he said curiously. "You don't need to understand, Eric. Please, trust me. If I marry you then someone will literally kill both of us! I'm sorry! I can't be with you anymore!" And without another word, she ran off in tears. Eric started to go after her but thought it was a bad idea. "Goobye, Amelia. I'll never forget you." he whispered to himself as he picked up the flowers she was carrying.
~END FLASHBACK~
"Now you know." he said. "Oh." she said quietly. On the outside it didn't seem like it but on the inside she was very jealous of Amelia. She just didn't want Eric to know. Neither one said any more, Ariel crawled back to her side of the bed, and they both went to sleep.
