The Immortal

It Can't Be Real

Elise's POV

Here I am in bed with Errol holding onto me as I cry. Everything was so real, but it can't be can it? How was it possible that I saw Brighid murder?

"Tell me what ya saw lass. That's the only way I can help ya." He tells me as I feel him kiss the top of my head.

"I was in the woods, there was a woman who looked just like me. A man came out of nowhere and told her to take him to you or he would kill her. She refused and he just stabbed her! That basterd just stabbed her!" I say as I pull away and look up at Errol.

"Did ya see what he looked like?" Errol asks me.

"No, his face was like a blur. I couldn't even move until he tried to run then I killed two men. That's not possible though. It was just a dream." I tell him.

"Maybe a memory lass? Your soul could've gone back for revenge." He tells me as he continues to hold me in his arms.

I didn't know what to believe. Was it possible that my soul really was Brighid? That this dream was actually a memory?

"I saw you too, you loved her very much." I say as my eyes look into his.

"I still do love you, my love you are still the woman I love and once your memories come back you will know it too." He tells me as we lean in to kiss.

Just then the door bursts open and there stands Brianna texting on her phone not even looking at us.

"Grandma says get up and get ready to do something in the garden." She tells us then leaves the door wide open as she leaves.

"She has horrible timing." Errol tells me with a laugh as we both get out of bed.

Once dressed I walked with Errol down to the garden. There I saw the other 12 yes I kid you not 12 other bridesmaids. This wasn't gonna be easy.

"Girls you remember my sister Elise and her boyfriend Errol." My sister introduces us to the girls.

All the girls look like they want to attack him and for some reason jealousy and possessiveness comes through me. I feel Errol grab my hand.

"I've been faithful for over three hundred years, I won't break it now.'' He tells me as he turns me around and his lips claim mine.

I can hear all the girls sigh in disappointment. Ha in your face crazy women! He's mine and whoa did I really just think that?! I can feel myself kissing back and for some reason I don't wanna stop.

Reluctantly we pull away and I see Errol smile at me.

"There is the possessive woman I missed." He tells me as he wraps an arm around my waist.

"Errol, don't go near the other women or possessive won't be the right word." I tell him as he nods and smiles at me.

"Starting to believe me love?'' he asks me pulling my body closer to his.

I just smile at him because to be honest at this point I didn't have an answer and that scared the hell out of me.

"Errol and Elise! There you two are! Grandpa said you were still in bed." Grandma says.

That's when I hear gasps from the crowd behind me. Well that statement can be taken good or bad.

"Forgive us, we were a bit distracted." Errol tells her using his charm.

"Oh can I expect great grandkids soon?" Grandma asks getting all excited.

What the heck grandma?! Why of all things you ask that and especially right now?! I roll my eyes at her question.

"We will wait until after our wedding for that." Errol tells her with a laugh.

"So you really are marrying the ugly duckling?" One of my sisters best friends Amanda asks.

Errol looks at me as I look down embarrassed and trying not to cry.

"I am not marrying an ugly duckling as you call her. When I marry Elise I will be marrying a princess and making her my queen." He replies as he takes my hand and kisses it.

Wow, he's really good. I look up at him and smile. At this moment I don't care if I am really Brighid or Elise but oh how I wanted his statement to be true.

Amanda scoffs as she turns back to the other girls who I am sure are gossiping.

"Well done son, you treat her like a queen because she deserves nothing less." Grandpa tells Errol as he walks up to us.

Errol nods his head in agreement as grandma rounds everyone else up. She begins to explain the party will take place soon and that we needed to help decorate since Grady was too old to do it on his own.

"I can't believe she got someone as hot as him." I hear one girl tell another as they walk past me.

Oh I wanna take off my shoe and use it as a weapon! I swear these women are going to drive me crazy.

"Ignore them love, they're just jealous of ya." Errol explains to me as he kisses my head again.

''Yeah well they can get over it. I just hate how all of them gossip so much." I tell him as I watch one of the girls almost fall trying to put up twinkle lights.

"That love is karma. They said something bad about you in your home and now it tried to kill em." He says as we start to walk forward.

Grandma and grandpa started to hand us different decorations.

"Don't forget Elise this is formal." Grandma tells me.

Formal? You just planned this how was I suppose to know the dress code.

"No worries Elise, I'll take ya somewhere for a dress." Errol says taking my hand and leading me away from everyone else.

Shopping? With Errol? Oh this should be interesting.
