The Starting Ember to a Roaring Flame ( Eric love story The Huntsman)

It's Been Too Long

Sorry, huge writers' block and school. I will try my darndest to update soon!

Last time with Ember

" We'll move on," I heard and I gasped and sniffled and stood tall as I watched Sara Eric and the four dwarves moved past me and I pulled up the rear. We moved until it began to get dark and decided to make camp. Every time Eric tried to talk to me I would move away or snap at him.

Every time I pushed him away from the more he seemed to listen and the more the glass within my heart cracked. I hope it is strong enough for it to not shatter.   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EMBER POV:  We kept walking until we reached a green place the moss covered everything, Sara suggested we stay the night and we all agreed. I watched as the two male dwarves got two large piles of wood and I lit my hand aflame and I sat away from the rest of the group.

Late in the night, Eric walked over to me and I quickly gazed Sara's position she was asleep and for the first time I actually tried to speak to him.

" Eric speak soft, I can't have Sara wake I will explain just wait until everyone else is sleeping, please. "

He nodded sensing the urgency from my voice. The dwarves one by one nodded off and Eric was now beside me and I looked at him he moved slowly as if I were to push him away for a second time.

" I thought you were dead. "

" And I you. "

" What happened. "

" Freya has magic and I think that she created an illusion on the ice if I knew you were alive then I would have searched for you. I love you, Eric. "

" Why didn't you say this earlier? "

" Because Sara has something of mine, of ours that Freya has in her clutches. I don't want her to hurt it. "

" What? "

I tried not to let my emotions get the best of me and I teared up.

" Eric we, we, we have a son. "

I watched as the amplitude of what I had just said sunk into him to the fullest extent and he began to tear up himself,

" A what? "

" A son his name is James, and he is beautiful he has your eyes and my hair. "

" We have a son." I nodded

" Freya has him and Sara is Freya's right-hand man, I'm so sorry."
I finally lost it and began to sob, I muttered I'm sorry I am so sorry into Eric's chest. He hugged his arms around me and held me tight to him. A while later I stopped crying and I looked at him, I saw the man I missed the one I love I leaned up and I kissed him with a fever of passion. I embraced the man I had mourned and accepted the fact that he was alive. I kissed him to remember the memories I had locked away along with the other horrors of my past the good ones.

I kissed Eric with a fire I would never be able to produce myself, not even at my strongest point. Eric carefully pushed me down and I fell into the moss beneath me, breathy sighs fell from both of our lips and I felt whole yet empty, I had the man I had loved and missed but I also temporarily lost my child. How can I keep everyone I love and stay alive?
