Once Upon A December (Book 1)

Chapter 47-Fear

Samantha's point of view
I walk down the stairs, my gown flowing down the stairs I had just walked, all eyes on me, I find those blue orbs that belong to Jack, my attention all to him, music starts and I walk to Jack, he leads me to the dance floor, one of his hands around my small waist, the other holding my hand, one of my hands holding his shoulder, the other, joining with his fingers, we dance to the music, reality never coming to us, I never wanted it too, my smile growing wider and wider with every second with him. He lifts me up in the air, my eyes never leaving his, so I look down with the biggest and happiest smile, he sets me down and the dance finishes, everyone clapping to the people who were dancing, my face heated up and I hide it in his chest, he chuckles and I feel a hand on my shoulder, I turn to see North "my turn" he says with a jolly grin, I smile and take his hand, after that dance, which left me happy and my smile growing more, I got to Tooth, Edmund stopping me on my way there. I look down at him, for our height differences made me "hello" I say with a smile towards him "hello" he says "your the girl my brother can't seem to fight?" He asks smiling widely, I giggle "and I can see you're the little trouble maker" I say with a smile, he smiles "always have, always will be, but enough about me, let's talk about you" he says as I lean against a wall, holding a cup in my hand, he smiles and follows my actions "why me?" I ask, he looks generally confused. "This is your land" I remind him as I turn to the party going on without us "filled with so many wonders that I can't even number them and keep track, so many wonders that I always find qith every turn I take, every trail I don't track, I find more to this world than what I've already found" I say in a dream like tone, my words true about how I felt for this world, I turn to him, his eyes surprised that someone wants him to talk first "so tell me about yourself and your world" I say as I meet his eyes "what about it?" He asks "everything" I answer.
(Time skip, Because why not?)
We stayed like that for an hour, the party going on for what seemed like forever, I noticed Tooth calling me over once he was done telling me everything "well, I better go, it was nice talking to you" I say to him, he smiles widely "ya, it's was nice talking to you too, thanks for letting me talk" he says, I smile at him and he runs to his family, waving at me, I wave back before he disappears into the crowd, his wife smile and big eyes reminding me a lot of Jack, he was the one that caused mischief. I talked to Tooth for a few minutes before I ran out of my drink and quickly got thirsty "I'll be right back" I tell her "alright, be back soon" she says, I smile at her and walk to the drink table, getting fresh tea with ice and putting in my cup, while pouring I see in the corner of my eye a body, I instantly know who it is "hello, Peter" I greet as I look up to see the said boy, a smile on his face, his eyws sparking with something I never knew "hello, Samantha" he greets, he stands there as I bring the cup to my lips. I smile and hum in delight to the refreshing drink, I then bring down the cup and a silence washes over us, we both sigh in unison "I want to tell you something" we both say together, making us both laugh "you first" I tell him, he dismisses the idea "no, ladies first" he say motioning to me, I smile a small smile to his manners "I just wanted to say I'm sorry, I shouldn't have attacked you, I should've just tried talking to you" I apologise, he chuckles to me "what?" I ask "the fact that you are apologising" he answers, I listen for him to continue. "I was the one that took a part of your family, I took him without thinking clearly, I took him through anger and fear for my own family, I took him" he says, I listen "I should've never taken him and made the command to kill him, all because I wanted revenge, I am so sorry, I could say that to you over and over, again and again, for thousands of years and still have to apologise, I'm sorry" he apologizes, I smile at him "I will only accept yours if you accept mine" I tell him. "Then, I accept" he confirms "I accept then" I confirm "besides, I think I should be the one that's sorry" I tell him "why is that?" He asks, my eyes leave his to go to Edmund's laughing figure, him being with his sisters as they all dance around like children "Edmund" I start, he waits "when I attacked you, and held you to the ground, did you feel my blade loosen around you?" I ask him, my eyes snapping to his every now and then, he nods "when I held you to the ground. I looked to see Edmund, the look in his eyes... He was the first one to ever be... He looked at me like..." I choke, my words not being able to come out of my mouth, Peter must've felt the pain I was feeling, for he wraps an arm around my shoulder and soothes me, I cry slightly "sh" he shushes, I cry, small tears leaving me, the feeling of being in his arms almost matching the feeling I had with Jack, his beating heart relaxing me and calming my breaths, he doesn't let go once I calm down "what was it that you saw?" He asks "fear" I choke out.
