From The Past

Chapter Two

Elizabeth's POV//

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am now standing at the Gazebo, everybody from the party is standing around it, George is not here yet.

The whole garden is lit up with white lights, it is very pretty.

I eventually see George making his way through the crowd towards me, I am now getting very excited and all that nervous feeling has left me.

He stands in front of me smiling.

He took my hands into his, then everybody fell silent.

"Elizabeth, we have been together two and a half years now but we have known each other far longer, I think we both always knew that we would end up together, it was meant to happen. Every time I see you, I still catch my breath, I still feel sparks every time you hold my hand, and every time we kiss, but i think it is time we become more. We could be so much more. You are so beautiful Elizabeth."

He then reached into his pocket and brought out a little black box and went down on one knee.

"Elizabeth Cook, would you do me the honour of being my wife?"

I took no time to answer.

"Yes, yes, yes! of course I will George"

He slipped the ring on my finger and span me around.

In that moment everything was perfect. I was going to spend the rest of my life with the man I love and who is perfect for me.

-about half an hour later-

I'm currently walking down a long hall way looking for George, he told me to meet him in his dads office, I am not sure where it is but he said there is a sign on the door.

I look down admiring my ring it is so beautiful, 19 carat white gold.

I finally come across the office and open it to find that George is not here yet.

I decide to look around the room its quite interesting because his father is a scientist, but not the normal kind of scientist, the kind who likes to invent new things and solve things that nobody else thought they could.

There is a folder on the desk marked 'PROJECT I' it's small and white, It looks really intriguing if I must say, I am very tempted to look in it, but it would be rude behaviour for a lady to be caught looking in other people's business.

Why should i not? Nobody has to know, nobody is in here.

I look around the room, nobody is here like I thought.

Just as I begin to open it a gentleman I have never seen before barges through the door.

He looks incredibly sweaty and out of breath.

"Thank goodness here you are, he said you would be in here" he says while running over and grabbing my arm.

This man looked late thirties, he was wearing a long white coat with stains on it.

I do not understand what he meant by "he said you would be in here" but I am presuming he meant George, maybe this is a surprise George had for me, how sweet would that be.

I decide not to ask the man too many questions incase I spoil it.

"Might I ask your name?" I ask the man that is escorting me to goodness knows where.

"My name is Vincent, I would ask for yours but he told me your name this morning" he says while smiling at me.

We finally reach somewhere, not sure where but we are here.

Vincent smiled at me and pushes the door open.

I walk into this room, it's very..cold.

Not what I was expecting.

There is a giant tube in the corner with buttons on it, the rest of the room Is filled with wires and technology I have not seen before.

Maybe we are getting our photograph taken?

I've only had that done once at my cousins wending, it was so lovely.

Oh yay.

Vincent was siting on a chair tapping buttons. This was a lot just for an engagement photo.

"Excuse me Vincent, when will he be along?" I asked politely.

"He will come along afterwards, has he really not discussed this with you yet?"

Vincent asked raising an eyebrow.

Why would he come along after? I didn't realise I was getting my own photo taken. Oh well, It will still be lovely.

"No, he has sorry I was just double checking" I replied although he hadn't told me anything, but I did not want him judging our relationship.

"Oh okay, well if you would step in the tube" Vincent said pointing towards the tube.

"What you want me to step in the tube?" I asked. Was he mad? Is this how your meant to take pictures?

"Uh yes" he replied looking at me as if I didn't have a brain cell in my head.

I stepped into the tube without saying anything else, feeling very embarrassed I must have sounded so stupid.

"You do realise we can not undo this after its happened?" He asked with a look of concern.

"Yes, yes just get it done already" I said getting impatient.

I probably came across quite rude, but I do not care what he thinks.

"Okay then, I must say how brave I think you are, I would never have done this, goodbye and Goodluck Vanessa" Vincent said and the tube shut.

Vanessa? Brave? Tube closing?

I was about to ask him what was happening but then he pressed the big button next to him, so I smiled for my photo.

Then it all went cold, freezing cold and I feel unconscious.

AUTHORS NOTE:

Sorry it's not very good and quite short, but I appreciate if you are reading it.

So basically she thought she was getting her photo taken for her engagement party as a surprise from her new fiancé George.

Turns out its something else, what could it be?

I think it's pretty obvious considering the title of the book and the fact that its cold.

Well thank-you for reading.
