It was stunning, gorgeous, elegant, every synonym that expresses beauty, but most of all it was mine. This Ruby heart necklace was more than a fine piece of jewelry, to me it was symbolic, or at least I hoped it would be.
"May I?" he asked.
I just nodded speechless, "Uhm, thank you Alex, it's so...so. There's no word for it. Thank you."
"Alyss? Are you satisfied.."
"Of course, I'm more than satisfied. This is one of the best days I've had, so far. It's all thanks to you Alex, you made it perfect."
"I wasn't done." He finished clasping ,my ruby heart and rested is warm hands on my shoulders.
"Oh, sorry go ahead"
"Alyss are you satisfied with the life you'll have to live from now on?" His voice and hands began to harden behind me.
"Yes I've been wanting a responsibility ever since I heard of what you had to do, although this responsibility came a little too sudden. Why do you ask? Don't you think I can handle it?"
"Alyss," his voice changed from a hard tone to a soft tremble.
"Alex? What's wrong? Why are..." As I turned to face him he was gone. No, not gone, but where I was a moment ago. He suddenly turned me back around and locked me in his arms. My eyes were locked in his, and our lips did the same. It felt like I was in a trance. I could feel the fog in my memories being cleared away. I froze in confusion of the collage of images. Images of events I remember being different. The trance lasted forever. In the confusion I didn't feel him move away from me to whisper one more thing in my ears.
"I love you, Alyss, but I'm sorry," the last part took me out of my trance and I unwillingly pushed him away in order to get a better look at his face.
"Why? Alex, what's wrong?"
Again he pulled me close and kissed me again, this kiss was less trance like, but the confusion still grew.
"I just couldn't stop myself" his words made me realize that he wasn't with me anymore.
"Alex? Where are you?"
I looked all around and he was no where to be seen. He must be playing some joke on me. I wont fall for it again. I walked towards the glass doors and when I was turning one of the large silver handles I felt someone behind me and as I began to turn around I felt a quick sting on my neck, as I was reaching for it, I was falling. I realized that I was in his arms now, my dress draping down almost to the floor.
"Alyss, please forgive me"
I caught my reflection on one of the doors a second passed and in a rush we were in the courtyard. Every thing was blurry and I couldn't speak, but I was able to faintly hear what was going on.
Another second passed and we were in a car. He set me down on a seat and closed the door. I then heard another door, he must have gotten into the drivers seat. The engine purred to life in an instant and we were gone, I could hear him speeding up.
A minute passed.
"Alyss, I know you can hear me. I love you, and this will soon be over, so please wait." He was silent for another minute and then began again.
"I hate myself for having to hurt you in order to help you , but you are too important to me. I couldn't let you live your life in danger." as if he had just realized something obvious, he chuckled to himself. "I don't even know why I'm saying this now. It's not like you'll remember any of it."
Alex, I wanted to yell, What's happening? I was still involuntarily silent, Why are you saying this? Answer me, Alex please. I was crying, but no tears were staining my cheeks.
"Alyss, the world you live in is a façade for something 'unreal' to a normal person, and you are not normal."
