Finally getting off work by letting the manager close up the building. Standing just right outside, I pulled out my cell phone to call my dad to let him know i was on my way home. Knowing that he still gets worried whenever i work late. I put my phone to my ear while i wait for my dad to …
Resurfacing Memory
Past Life Memory:
Furious was coursing through my veins i was making my way home. Wanting to scream and cry at the same time over the news i’d had found out. My father was giving me away to someone else all knowing that I was in love with someone already. In love with Prince Lucian, and he loves me in return. Wanting to confront my father, to make him change this instantly. Otherwise I’ll have to run away. There was no way I’d marry someone that I didn’t love. Especially if they weren’t Lucian.
I bust into my home, calling out, “Mother? Father?” closing the door behind me. Glancing around the house. Trying to control my anger. I could hear footsteps coming down the stairs and hallway.
“Darlin’? What is it?” My mother asked as she came over to me.
My father lingered in the hallway looking at me. “Anca? What’s wrong?”
I glared at my father with daggers in my eyes. “How could you? How could you do this to me?”
He sighed. “I take it you were surprise when you heard the news, then?”
“Surprise? I was shocked!” I growled. “And heard it? It would have been nice to have been told by my parents then a family friend of this!”
“When you are older, Anca, you’ll understand the decisions your mother & I have made,” he spoke glancing over at my mother then back at me.
“I don’t care if they are your’s or mother’s decisions. They aren’t mine! I will not marry someone i don’t know or love,” I declared
“Anca,” My mother protested.
“You will do as you are told, Anca. I will NOT have my daughter running around with an undead monster.”
I shook my head lightly. “Lucian is not a monster! He is caring, loving, generous and thoughtful. Unlike you two, who can’t wait to sell me off to the highest bidder,” my voice getting louder, anger finally showing through. Seeing my father’s face turning a light shade of red.
“ANCA! I forbid it! You shall never see that unnatural being ever again!” he yelled.
“Anca, please see reason with your father?” My mother pleading softly, trying to calm me. But i stood back away from her, going to the front door.
“With that, father,” i spat at him, “I know what must be done.” I open the front door and half turn to look at them. “Goodbye.” As i started to walk out the door, i could hear my father yelling at me to get back into the house, my mother pleading. I just ran through the village to head to the castle. I left my home and family over something that was very clearly stupid & idiotic. I was too upset and angry to think straight. I held my tears back so non of the people would see me cry.
I knew I needed Lucian. Knowing he was the only person that could calm me and ease the sadness that was coursing through me. When i reach the castle, gaining entry from the guards. I ran straight across the courtyard and into the castle. The butler told me that i can wait in Lucian’s room while he goes get him for me. I thanked the butler’s kindness before turning & heading for the staircase. I quickly went up them and down the hall. My pace quick then how a lady should. I didn’t care. I could feel the barriers that were holding back my tears breaking.
Once i reach Lucian’s room, I ran over to his bed, and sat upon it. Feeling the barriers crumble down as tears form in my eyes. I couldn’t believe how my parents would use me as thus. As if they don’t care about my own feelings and dreams. That a ‘Monster’ as they call Lucian truly cares about me, my feelings, my dreams, what i want out of my life. Of how i want to life it. No matter how much I love my parents, it wasn’t enough to cover the ache that burn in the place in my heart that was for them.
The sound of the bed chamber door opening, my eyes snap up when Lucian came walking in. I quickly got off the bed and rush over to him. Throwing my arms around him & burying my face into his chest.
“My love, what’s wrong?” he asked with a caring tone. His hands wrapped around me, holding me closer to him. As well as running up and down my back in a soothing manner. I quickly told him what I had learn from a family friend, the confrontation with my father and mother, my father’s forbidding of me seeing him; and that neither truly care about how I feel. All the while tears stream down my cheeks, meshing into Lucian’s clothing as i rub my face against his chest.
“It’s alright my love. We’re together. I won’t let anything happen to you. And you can stay here with me,” his spoke softly, still rubbing my back. “No need to be sad, my love. I’ll make sure your parents will understand and get that betrothal abolished.”
He was right. We were together. And I knew he wouldn’t let anything happen to me. That i truly believe. I glanced up at him, my eyes still watery yet no tears haven’t fell down from my eyes. “I know you can,” I softly spoke, looking into his eyes. He has more power to convince my parents and get this contract of betrothal gone. I smiled up at him, “I have faith in you, Lucian.”
