Story From The Untold

A Neverending Promise

"You promise to marry me right?"

Words I never thought that could mean so much....

"Yes!"

Yes I said...Yes
But why does it have to be like this?

6 years ago...

We were just 10...We thought or more like I thought that it peace would last forever, Her name was Claire. She was our neighbor, our mothers were friends and thats how we became friends. We would also be together, we would go to school together, eat lunch and dinner together, watch cartoons together. We were inseparable.

I thought it would forever be like this, just us together. I bought a cheap ring at the nearby vendor I saw, the ring had an energy I could sense, It was beautiful. It was calling to me, I thought immediately of Claire, I bought it and the next day I gave it to her.

"Claire!" I called her as I hurried to her on the playground.

"Claire, I have something to give you"

"What!? Really? Where?" Claire was overwhelmingly excited for some reason
.
"Close your eyes!" I hurried to put the ring on her finger, It looked just right and fit and it was so beautiful.

"Open your eyes! Tada!!!"

"Woah its very pretty, Matt!" Claire said as she stood up and danced with it, We were very happy.

But once you do something, you can't take it back.

Claire sat down pulled my fingers and said "Matt, you promise to marry me right?"

"What?..." I said but I felt like I needed to, something was forcing me to say 'yes' but it wasnt me!

"Yes!" Huh?....

"Hooray!!! Ill hurry to go tell Mother!"
Huh? What?

I was very confused.

Before Claire crossed the street, I heard the sound of A car moving.

"Wait! Claire! Dont Cross the street yet! Claire!!!"

There I saw, Claire's dead body and smashed face on the ground. I didn't know what I felt, I felt responsible, I felt weird, I felt like something was attached to me.

The ring! The ring is glowing! Huh? Why cant I talk? Why do I feel trapped? Somebody help!

Urghhh

"Matt are you okay?!" My mom shouted at me while hugging me infront of the accident.

"Matt? Matt? Matt?!"

My vision was turning very blurry
I fainted, the last thing I saw was Claire's dead body, smiling....The nonstop ringing in my ears, the sentence

"You will marry me, right?"

Was shouting all over again until the voice became deep.

Someone please wake me up! Someone!

"Matt...?"

I woke up to my Mom saying my name, I looked around and noticed that this is my room but my vision was kind of blurry, it was hard to say whats that and that.

Hmm? Is that Claire? Why is she there?

"Mother Claire's behind you" huh? Do i have no voice?
