The distance in between

part 7

you know what they say about love is war. We must differentiate between affection and head over heels love.

Hunter was lovely...and every moment he looked me in the eyes it felt as though he was peering deep in my soul.

"Anna..?" he said my name alnost too quietly.

"Yes?" I asked shyly.

"I feel like you are in need of an explanation." his husky voice catching on each word.

"Hunter...please."

"Anna. You musn't bring this elsewhere. Understand?"

"Yes."

" Anna. Once Upon a time there was a young girl born into royalty. Her name was Amarathine Carilene Jacobi. Her mother a goddess, her father the king. She had gorgeous dark ringlets, and the most piercing eyes you have ever seen. She was happy and healthy. It became even more prominent when she fell in love with Henry Howard Hunter. Funny name I know. They were in love. At least for a little while. Until the moment Amarathine got bored. She wasnt known for being unloyal, but she had met another man, and they had made love. She was pregnant with the other man. And that is the moment Henry left town, he had to escape all the judgement. Nobody ever saw him since that day....well except for me...."

"Hunter....what are you saying?" I asked, tears flooding my eyes.

"Anna. Amarathine Jacobi is your mother. Henry my father. Together, you and I have more power than the seas and the wind.

My head became winded, and I fell. My head colliding with the earth. Preparing to meet my unknown mother visually once more.
