This is only chapt. 2 and some of chapt.3 I'm still working on it enjoy^^

Chapt. 2 Hate and wounds ( a little short^^)

It was pitch black, but then a light shone. I could see that I was standing it the middle of the living room of my house. Two shadows were sitting in front of me. The light suddenly shown right upon them. I started to take short, quick breaths of air. "Margaret, Margaret, it's us, your mother and father." the familiar two figures smiled. Tears welled up in my eyes, there was a long silence. I soon snapped out of it, and came back to my senses. I smirked, "Oh, is that so? You're my mother and father? Well that's awfully funny because my parents had died in the summer of 1934. Do you know how? They took me to my room, locked me in, and never came back to fetch me. I later found out that both of them took poison and were seen laying on the bed, holding each other's hands. Now isn't that a sweet ending? The two lovers leave their beloved child in the room, all alone, and was almost on the verge of being sent to the orphanage! Do you know what else is terribly funny? The policeman was kind enough to ask the 11 year old child if she had made her parents kill themselves.", I started to giggle hysterically. The two figures stared at me sadly, "We're sorry Margaret, but just know we will always be here for you."
"No you won't!", I wailed. "You left me here to be all alone, you selfish, cruel, cold-blooded people!", I sobbed miserably in my hands. Then, that wound in my precious heart ripped open. I stopped my crying, stood up, and walked towards them. "I truly hope you may live happily together as you rot in the flames of hell.", I whispered.

"Breakfast is ready!", Debbie shouted. The darkness disappeared, leaving the guilt in my heart, pulse through my veins. Even if it was just a dream, the reality of it was too real, very real... Groggily, I pushed myself upright and put my head into the comfort of my hands..

Why did they have to come visit me? Why did I say that? How could I have told them to rot in...

A flurry of sobs seeped out of me.

Chapt. 3 Bliss

After I finally slipped away from breakfast, I rushed to the back. Eddy was lying down with his arms over his head, sleeping so soundly. Gingerly, I placed my hand on his cheek, as I laid down next to him. "Mm-mm....", he sighed in contempt. Fascinated, I let my fingers draw circles all around his face. He smiled and opened his mouth and yawned the biggest and largest yawn one could behold. Before he could get up, I gently pushed him backwards,"Don't move, I want to try something that I always longed to do. Be real still", obediently he lay as still as possible.
I sat up and lifted his head on to my lap. Tenderly, I stroked his hair.
"You look awful. I do remember calling you beautiful, but today you look as white as chalk.",he stared up at me with concern. "It's nothing, just these horrible dreams I get sometimes.",I pulled at one of his little curls. He winced, "Is it possible that you're trying to relieve your anxiety on my hair? It feels like it." I smiled, "Now why would I do such a thing?" I pulled even harder at one of his curls. Laughing good-naturedly, he got up and pulled me close. "If only your Aunt would let us be together all the time. We wouldn't have to sneak out like bandits." he sighed.
"What do you mean Eddy?", I stared at him puzzled. "Well, she doesn't want us to be near each other. She thinks I'm to old for you and an ineligible suitor. She was planning on giving you to someone better than me. Which I don't object, for I am a bad influence towards you." he grinned at the thought.
My eyes widened in fear, I clutched him, "Oh, Eddy! How could you say something like that? Just ignore that old lady. She doesn't have any right. Just because you're older and that my family is wealthy, has nothing to do with it us being together!"
I could tell he was going to say something, but instead, clamped his mouth shut. "Edson! Why do I always have to fetch you for your chores?! Come here this instant! Rowdy rascal, doesn't even care about his mother....", Eddy grinned slyly. "Good-bye, love you", he shouted back at me as he ran backwards. My heart skipped a beat. It was just one beat, but that one beat meant more than I could imagine.
As I walked back to the back doors, Debbie had caught up with me, glaring like a hawk about to devour it's prey. "You sly little thing, I make you a good, nice breakfast, and what do you do? You don't eat it! Why I would have been grateful for all of that kindness! Skipping breakfast.." she scoffed and waited impatiently for an answer. When she didn't get one, exasperatedly she sighed and turned around to dust the rooms.
"Sorry.", I whispered. Astounded she turned back around and stared at me, like I was some sort of exotic creature, "No , no that's alright. You can talk?", she asked in astonishment. "Yes, I'm sorry if I caused you any discomfort. I just didn't have an appetite. Oh and I do talk it's just I was a bit angry then. My apologies." I shuffled my feet uncomfortably. "Well, now that's a sweet girl. Here, come over to the kitchen. You need something to keep you warm and healthy. Why you're as thin as sheet of paper! Come now, no dilly-dallying." she practically pranced about from joy. I sighed heavily. (not done yet)

This is good.

This reminds me of Romeo and Juliet. I like it.

It's supposed to be a dream but I didnt want to make it cheesy and plain. Like all stories say things like "She woke up , gasping for air" it was used too many times you know? Here I'm going to try to correct it tho.

Hello, hello! I am here to review! Stop shaking, it won't be that bad! :lol:

Okay, first off, I offer my congratulations as I liked this chapter even more then the last!
Thank you for taking care of the time period thing for me, it all makes so much better sense now.

This can't be a long review as I am being shouted at to get off "that infernal electronic" so here it goes!!! :wink:

Just because you're older and that my family is wealthy, has nothing to do with it us being together!"

Take out the "it"

I don't have time to comb through the story but this one just stood out to me so I throw it in...

Anyway, first off I think that their relationship needs just a tad more explaining and background (hopefully to come?)
they make me smile though with how sweet they are :)

The dream is wow...needs some more meat to it. Did she see her parents? Or is that just what she knows? Very interesting though...I can't wait to find out more!
*drums fingers restlessly*

I love that she talks at the end! It was so sweet and I absolutely adore the reaction!

Once again, sorry for the speedy review! :? I hope to be reading another chapter very soon!
GOOD LUCK!!! :)

This really isn't a review but I just wanted to say this is piece was very good. Better than the first, I'd say. My only grievance is about the relationship between Eddy and Margaret. I feel like in the first chapter they were dancing around the subject of how they felt about each other and in this part they were all serious and open about their feelings. I feel the progression was very sudden. Besides that really great work!

Back again, darling. I probably won't finish the review today, but I will tomorrow! :D


the 11 year old child

Even though you don't have to, I think it would look better if 11 was spelled out as eleven.


"I truly hope you may live happily together as you rot in the flames of hell.",

Aaand, you did it again, darling. You don't actually need the comma there; it's supposed to be a period. BUT, all punctuation needs to be inside the quotation marks.


Why did they have to come visit me? Why did I say that? How could I have told them to rot in...

Like I said in the last review, putting her thoughts in italics helps the story a lot. It really does.


After I finally slipped away from breakfast, I rushed to the back.

The back? The back of where? The house? The kitchen? Tell us!



Also, there is a confusing part in the beginning of Chapter Three. First, you say that the girl lies down next to Ed. Then, she somehow puts his head into her lap? I don't understand how that happened, but maybe make that clearer for the readers.



One quick thing before I have to leave! Whenever a new person speaks or there is a new line of dialouge, you are supposed to start a new paragraph. It can get confusing onto who is talking if you don't. So let's say the girl is talking, then Ed starts talking. Whenever Ed starts talking, start a new paragraph. It's really hard to read a story if it's not that way.



And, then I must go now! I'll be back tomorrow to get anything else! ^_^

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or comments.

O_O...wow lol anyway thanks everyone for all your advice! i did kind of confuse myself on their relationship. They did get more serious. I just wanted to show the mature side of Eddy, i was trying to add some kind of blockage to their relationship. Also it might take a little long, but I will try to upload the next chapter as soon as possible and thanks lin, for reviewing for me! and I did forget about how to seperate the dialogue..^^hehe...
lol WEll the dream part is kind of a mystery, through the next chapters everything will be explained. EVERYTHING! well not in every chapter..well u kno^^ Its kinda hard to fit all the stuff in but Im trying! >< You see, the meat, or the "spice" of this story comes waaaaaaaay after all of this sweet talk in between them. I might make some more happy scenes. But this is supposed to be a dark, tragic romance Kinda mysterious too....the dream kinda confused me too, suprisingly i dont even know why i had wrote it. It just popped into my head. You see margaret has aloooooooot of hate, resentment, and guilt towards her parents...

wooah..long reply^^ lol well thanks everyone! appreciate it! I will finish chapter 3! mark my words I will!
