¨WHAT ON EARTH ARE YALL HERE? Come on Elena! I know that you can do better than Montresor!¨, he said. HE IS AN IGNORANT! I saw Elena tremble. That's it! Fortunato can hurt me, but HE WILL NEVER HURT ELENA! I stood up and I walked to him. ¨Hmm? What are you gonna do, huh? You know that if you hurt me, your parents will take my side.¨ he said with a very confident tone. ¨I don't care if I am a disgrace to my parents. I don't care if you hurt me. BUT I DO CARE IF YOU HURT ELENA!¨, I started to punch him and gave him a bloody nose. ¨YOU LITTLE BRAT!¨, he tried to punch me in my face, but I grabbed his fist and made him punch himself in the face. ¨S-STOP! STOP IT! FORTUNATO, STOP! MONTRESOR, PLEASE STOP!¨, she cried. She stepped in and pulled me away from Fortunato. ¨M-Montressor, stop...please stop it!¨, she cried. ¨Yeah, Montressor! Stop it. Hahaha! See how weak you are. You need to be stopped by your little princess. Hahaha!¨, Fortunato said mimicking Elena. ¨Don't listen to him. You are one of the strongest people I've known. ¨Hahahaha! Come on, Elena! You shouldn't be involved with someone as weak and pathetic as him.¨, he kept laughing at me. Ëlena was furious. She walked to him and slapped him. ¨Never say that to Montresor. You only care about your reputation, AND THAT'S ALL! He was there whenever I needed him! UNLIKE YOU, YOU WEREN'T EVEN THERE WHENEVER MY MOTHER DIED!¨, she yelled at him. Ï grabbed her and hugged her tight. I could feel her tears going down her cheeks. The guards found us and Fortunato lied to them. He told them that, ¨Montresor was trying to harass Elena. And he was trying to drunk her and kill her.¨ But since Elena's father didn't believe that I will try to hurt her they didn't put me in the catacombs. However, he told me that Elena needs to go to England, Britain to learn how to be a ¨perfect¨ woman. The day that she was going to leave, she told me in tears, ¨M-Montressor...¨, she hugged me tightly; ¨I-I don't want to leave....I don't want to be alone in another country....M-Montresor...please....make my father change his mind. Please! I beg you!¨, it broke my heart seeing her like this. She hasn't cried ever since her mother died. I know that I can't convince him since he threatens to make her move there permanently. I kissed her forehead. I saw her blush. I told her, ¨ Elena....you know I can't convince your father, after what happened. You know that I will stay here waiting for you. If you miss me....¨, I grabbed a floral and silk-like scarf and a necklace that has a crescent moon and a pearl out from my jacket. ¨just hold your necklace or scarf and I will be by your side. Elena...your a one of a kind, just like a pearl. But please remember to take care of yourself.¨, I told her as she kissed my cheek. ¨Okay, I will. And I will take care of myself. B-bye Montressor.¨, she said with a smile as she walked away. Ever since then my life changed. I will send her letters and she will send me letters back. But after, seven months she just stopped sending me letters back. I and Elena didn't talk like we used to.
