Forgotten Love

Dreams and Nightmares

There she was - so beautiful and elegant, walking gracefully towards him. Her smile shy and nervous, her dress as white as can be. Her golden hair hung loosely around her neck as her pearl earrings shone in the light. I've never been so happy, so in love. The classical orchestra began to play as she walked down the aisle. I clasped my hands together nervously yet my eye refused to draw away from hers. She took my side and the ceremony began.

"Angie, do you take German to be your lawfully wedded Husband?"

I softly gazed into her eyes awaiting an answer. Her eyes smiled at me and she answered "I do."

"German, do you take Angie to be your lawfully wedded Wife?"

Suddenly darkness surrounded and a surge of panic crept up.

"German? German!" cried Angie. She sounded as if in pain yet I could still see darkness.

...

"German? German!" Called a whiney, desperate voice.

German shot up from his bed. He placed his hand roughly across his forehead in hope to stop his head from spinning. Analysing his bedroom, he eased at realization that it was just a dream turned bad.

"GERMAN!" called the whiney voice once again but this time is had a tone of frustration.

German screamed in shock! "Jade..." he spluttered in horror.

Jade stood before him. She wore a black designer dress with a pale jacket on top. Her smooth and silky hair swayed as a large grin appeared across her face.

"Oh my love I knew you missed me!" Jade squealed as she wrapped her arms around him like a child not wanting their parent to leave.

German uncomfortably removed her arms around him. His eyes intentionally darted across the room for an escape route but instead he froze at the empty pillow next to his -"Angie!" he gasped quietly to himself.

He turned to jade with a suspicious expression, "Jade! Where's Angie?" German demanded.

Jade groaned as her face scrunched up in disgust. "Ugh that home wrecker is here no more." Jade spat, "I made sure of that."

Shock and worry swept over German. He knew from the past that Jade was very unpredictable but he was even more certain that Jade hated Angie.

 "What have you done with her? Where is she?" German began to shout in anger.

Jade placed her hand over her mouth, shocked at his reaction. "My love! I did you a favour. She won't be returning anytime soon..."

BANG!

German could just scarcely hear the front door slam above Jade's voice. Echoes of footsteps running up the stairs travelled through the house.

German pushed Jade out of his path in desperation to escape the room. Jade screamed as she landed stiffly on the bed. Her hair looked more like a birds nest as her white nails dug into the duvet in rage. German quickly swung the door open and...

Violetta stood before him. Tears filled her hazel eyes as she wore a frightened expression. She clutched onto her dad in a tight comforting hug.

"Vilu what's happened? Are you OK?" German asked, deeply concerned for his daughter.

Violetta shook her head and began to cry, "They've taken Angie! I tried to stop them but they got her in the car and drove -"

"Who has? Who's taken her? Who's behind all of this?" German demanded. He felt sickness down to the pit of his stomach. All he could hear inside his mind were Angie's panicked calls he heard in his dream.

"Ludmila's mum Priscila, your Ex Esmeralda and Jade!" Violetta cried in dismay.

"RAMALLO!" shouted German in desperation.

"Vilu did you hear where they said they're taking her?" German's voice was shaky at this point, his hands trembled in both anger and concern.

"To Angie's house. They want to pack her things and force her back to Paris."

German breathed as calm as his body would let him. His face tensed in pain and stress.

"Yes German, you called?" Ramallo called rubbing his eyes in attempt to wake up fully.

"Get your car. Angie's been taken! We're going to save her!" His voice was strong, full of determination and courage.

Ramallo's eyes alerted in shock at the news that Angie was in danger. He could only nod, too shocked for words to leave his mouth. 

Both German and Ramallo raced down the steps towards the front door. Quickly turning to his daughter, German kissed Violetta on the top of her head whilst he whispered, "Stay here - it's too dangerous to come. Go and find Olga and call the police."

But before she could reply the door slammed and German was gone.

Obeying her father's wishes, Violetta rushed into the kitchen to look for Olga.

"Ah-ah-ah. Not so fast, you little brat." The voice called as it lured out of the darkness.

"Jade." Violetta muttered.
