My most perfect bachelor

My son

My dear Isi has died and our son Peter is to take his place as Cheif.

Peter is strong much like his father.

Peter had grown so fast and so intelligent that Isi and I sent him to school in my world this one being far to primitive for him. He is to return tomorrow for the funeral.

The preparations are going slow because in the midst of the celebration of my son's return we also have the mourning of my husband's death. I have yet to leave our marriage bed

I hear yelling from the main floor. I ignore it having told the guards I was not to be disturbed I have no concerns.

Suddenly the door flies open and I jump still in the bloody once white night gown I was wearing the night Isi rode in his body riddled with arrows. Standing in the doorway of the room is a man who looks so much like Isi and I start to cry. "Peter..." I call he runs over and holds me close kissing my forehead and telling me everything was okay and that he was there for me.

The next day was the funeral Peter requested I be given a bath and dressed. I can't seem to function in my grief.

After being washed of Isi's blood and dressed in a long black dress with a long black veil Peter escorted me to the place where his body was to be burned. I looked up and saw his body the flames being drawn closer and I ran to his body and screamed for them to stop I threw away the veil and caressed his cold lifless face tears poured from my eyes. "Isi...my love...I can't let them burn you every part of you that I love...all...taken away..." Peter grabs me by the shoulders cuts a few strands of Isi's long black hair and turned me towards him hiding my face from the flames.

"Mom...its over..." he tells me. I pull away and find a pile of ash and the outline of bones. I grab Peter's arm to steady myself. "I'll take you back to the castle and you can rest before the changing of the Chiefs ceremony tonight." I wrap my arms around him and he picks me up holding me close.  We reach my room it feels so empty that I grab Peter and start shaking. "Why don't you come to my room, you might feel beter there." He says cradling me like a baby in his arms.

He takes me to his room and lays me down then leaves I clutch the lock of Isi's hair in my hands and cry myself to sleep.

When I wake up the lock of Isi's hair is gone. I become worried and search the bed throwing pillows and stripping it of the blankets. "I've lost it...I've lost him...he's gone..." I stand up from the bed and walk out the door. The ledge right in front of me the closer I get the worse I feel. "MOM DON'T!!!" I hear Peter yell.  I turn and Peter wraps his arms around me. "Don't do it mom...don't leave me too..." he says. I wrap my arms around him and hold him tightly.

"I lost Isi..." I tell him. He pulls me away amd smiles. "Here mom," he says handing me a silver locket. "Open it." He says. I open it slowly finding Isi's hair and two pictures. "Monkey..." I say tears welling in my eyes. "Peter...thank you so much for this..." I tell him. He smiles and pulls me close kissing my forehead. "Anything for you momma..." he says running his fingers through my hair just like his father once did.

"Find yourself a good wife and have many children so that I may spoil them." I tell him caressing his cheek. "I can get through this..." I tell him. "Your a good man much like your father, but your stubborn as hell," I tell him. "Go to my world find a woman like your dad did. If she truly loves you then she will follow you blindly like I did your father not knowing what I was getting myself into, but now I'm happier than I ever could have been there talking to a stuffed monkey and being afraid of the outside world." He smiles. "You couldn't possibly have been that bad off before dad came along...right?" I smile back and caress his cheek. "Your father saved me." I tell him.  He smiles. "But the tribe?" He argues.  "I can handle them. Go on find your heart." I tell him. "You sound so cliché mom," "Just go before the motherly side of me realizes what I've done." I tell him. He smiles then pulls me close hugging me tightly then running towards the door a portal already open.

"Good bye baby," I say trying not to cry.

My prince has come and gone.

There's a girl somewhere in that world for Peter and he'll one day return with her in his arms to secede his father.

Come home soon...

Writers block...sorry.
