The Circle of Love

The French War

Battle cries emerged from the stained red battlefield. Diana clutched onto her true love, Sebastian. "Will we ever make it out, Sebastian?" She screamed over the gun fires. A rumble from the ground rippled under the frightened couple's feet. "Is it an earthquake?" Diana asks. Suddenly, troops come stampeding, fully armed. Diana and Sebastian run to find shelter as the rest of the village scurry around.

Diana and Sebastian march over the fallen bodies drowned with blood. The once happy street they lived on became a depressing battlefield. Diana cried because she recognized some of the fallen people. Sebastian stayed strong and dragged her through the open field. A bullet hit Sebastian in the ear causing it to go deaf. He could now barely hear the screams of his beloved. As they were about to approach a run-down house, a bullet pierced Diana's left thy. It seemed to never stop. The blood, the pain, the cries... At last, Sebastian and Diana made their way to shelter.

Crammed in an old wooden attic of an abandoned house, Sebastian and Diana sat still in the darkness. Drops of water echoed through the silent setting. Diana started sobbing. Sebastian lifted her chin and stared straight into her emerald eyes. He said, "Diana, no matter how far we are separated, we will never truly be apart. Here." Sebastian showed her a small card reciting a beautiful poem. He read aloud, "If you were red and I were blue. If you were a medicine and I was the flu. If you were a mystery and I was a clue. I would still love you." Diana held her hand on her heart, "Oh Sebastian..." Before she could finish, the troops raided the small attic attacking Sebastian and his love. As Diana was screaming when the soldiers took Sebastian, his final words were, "I love you." and tossed the card to Diana. Then the world was black.
