As the door began to open I hid behind Anthony frightened of what might pop out this time. Maybe an army, or a dozen noblemen I just have to meet. I honestly hate being the center of attention, but I'll be damned if I go back into that forest. I wished the villager had caught me and lopped my head off. I wish I could erase all the horrid things I saw in that place. I still get the twitching and the sweats. The nightmares have only gotten worse, I was being chased by something, something very big and seemingly hungry.
I just barely made it over the line, when they found me I had already given up on life. I had openly welcomed death already inviting in the pain and despair I felt in my heart and soul. I had realized at that moment that truthfully I died. I had just naturally ran when something growling woke me, it was a basic reflex, but I hadn't actually wanted to run because nowhere I might end up would be home.
Just when I was thinking that it would be better if I was dead. My friends Sarah and Jessie found me barely holding on. They are my Guardian Angels and my Best Friends all in one. It took them weeks just to get me to talk but they were annoyingly persistent about it. I guess after a while I got used to them and just started talking. I shook my head coming out of my thoughts to see a giant room with nothing but books.
"This library no one in the palace uses this one the stories are far too adventurous I, uh asked your friends what you liked to do. There's also a desk so you can write your songs, books, and poetry. This...is yours it can be your personal corner of the world." He said rubbing the back of his neck.
"This. Is. Amazing. Anthony I Love it."
I turned to him and smiled excitement ready to explode from my body like fireworks. He placed his hand on the side of my face and said, "I truly do love you as Obsidian and Runner. I will do everything in my power to show you that."
"I can see it you have nothing to prove it."
"But I will anyway. Just so you never forget."
"You made me believe in love. As long as you're beside me I'll never forget." I said wiping the tears falling from my face and backing up slightly.
We walked out and a butler I hadn't seen standing in the room closed the large doors behind us. We made our way back up to the front hall. It turns out that Anthony had prepared yet another surprise for me. Honestly, I just wanna go back to his room and fall asleep. I've never had to meet so many people in my entire life and he's already thrown over forty at me. I'm tired, my feet hurt, and this dress is really uncomfortable. I want to tell him but, he seems so happy showing me around and introducing me to everyone. It's not like I hate it in fact it's been fun but, I just can't keep up.
At the moment I went to open my mouth Anthony turned around and asked, "How about we spend the rest of the day in your library? No one will be able to find us there."
I couldn't do anything but nod my head and smile as we walked back to the library. It's as if he read my mind or maybe I was just obvious. Either way I'm glad he respected the fact that I was uncomfortable and didn't try to force anything. For the rest of the day we read, ate, played, and joked around. So if I were to be asked then yes it was a good day. To top it off Anthony got me my own closet in his room so that I can sleep with him whenever I want. I'm starting to wonder how well you're doing Amethyst.
It's been so long since we split up I'm starting to forget what your face looks like. I hope things aren't as bad for you as they have been for me.
