I found this on my Ipod from like months ago. You guys can roast it. I did not even bother to revise it. These are characters from the novel I am writing. Enjoy, I guess? Sorry about the formatting as well. Love you all :)
They were sitting together eating lunch. It was simple. Some small sandwiches and a cake for later.
Elizabeth was sitting up straight and proper as she would. While Nathaniel was reLaxed, and somehow a messy eater although he's had hundreds of years to practice not being so u
"Nathaniel," Elizabeth spoke up.
He looked up at her.
They weren't speaking. Not how they once did at least .Although recently they were back together, it was very rocky, and today was one of the rockier days.
"Yes?" He asked, biting into his food.
"We need to talk," she said, noticing he still kept the forget me nots in his hair.
Nathaniel cocked his head to the side, "About what?"
"This," she said, "About all of this."
"What's there to talk about?" He asked.
She stayed quiet, trying to gather up her thoughts. He stared at her, his fingers twitching.
She took a deep breath, "Nathaniel. Are you happy?"
He looked at her confused, then revealed a tiny smile, "Of course I am."
"No you're not, you're still grieving over Holly, I hurt you I-" she started, hot tears welled up in her eyes. One even fell.
"Elizabeth!" He exclaimed, "You did not hurt me.Many years ago you did. But you were just trying to help."
Elizabeth cried softly, "I made you live with me here. I ruined your time line!"
"That doesn't matter Liz," he answered slightly taken aback by all of this.
She slammed her hand down on the table.It shook.
"Yes it does!" She cried out.
Nathaniel took a deep breath, he stood up and went over to her side. He wrapped his arms around her.
"You did nothing wrong," he said, gently patting her on the back. She let out a sob and pushed him away. She got up and ran out the back door.
It slammed shut behind her.
Nathaniel stood there, shocked.
"Did I do something?" He murmured, his face hot. He pushed the thought aside, and ran out the back door, to try to find his girlfriend.
"Please not the woods,"he mumbled.
He went all over trying to find her. Then he felt something cold and wet hit his arm.
"What?" He commented, then looked up. And then more drops fell from the now gray sky.
He cursed, "Damnit!Oh come on!"
He put his hood over his head and continued searching as the rain fell harder and harder.
A faun bumped into him.
"Are you alright?" The faun asked,his eyes wide with concern.
"Elizabeth," Nathaniel replied.
The faun nodded and asked, "Is she your friend?"
"She's all alone! I need to find her!" Nathaniel cried, then stopped himself, "wait. are you Iwanich?"
The faun nodded, "The one and only."
"Did you see Elizabeth," Nathaniel cried, "please!"
Iwanich shook his head, "The birds might have, hold on!"
He whistled. No birds replied.
Nathaniel groaned, "I don't have time for this!"
A bird finally answered.
"she's in the clearing, by the blackberry bushes," Iwanich says, "Only a few feet that way,"
He pointed In that direction, then lightly pushed Nathan, "Go!"
And Nathaniel began to run.
After what seemed like hours, there she was. Sitting there and rocking back and forth.
Nathaniel stepped on a twig, Elizabeth gasped and looked up.
He ran over to her and hugged her tight. He began to cry.
"Don't ever do that again," he cried, hugging her tighter.
"I'm so sorry, " she whimpered.
The rain continued. He saw she was wearing a sundress.
Pulling away he pulled off his hoodie and put it on her.
"It's damp but," he says.
"What about you?" She asks.
"Who cares," he answered.
"I do," she whispers. He pulled her close again and held her.
"I'm happy you know," he mumbled, "Are you?"
She slowly answered, "yes"
They stayed like that for a while. Hugging and crying.
Iwanich trotted past. He saw them hugging.He smiled. He carried on with his life.
Soon enough the rain cleared.
"Let's go home," Nathaniel suggested.
Elizabeth nodded, "that'd be nice"
They recollected themselves,and went back to their home.
