Death Or Desire
Chapter One
Part Two
“ Helen, our chariot is here. You better be looking appropriate.” Mother call from the downstairs.
“ I’ll be right down, hold on” I put my journal in my spot, then I run down the stairs, and go downstairs.
“ His name is Jeremiah Lawrence, he just got here looking for a wife material, His has wealth, that can keep a roof over your brown hairs.” He just sounds lovely, but then I can’t help to think of George, a boy back home. He was the one I saw my whole life with, and not some dirty boy. That I haven’t even seen or heard of in my almost eighteen years.
“ We just thought of you having a husband, I mean you are turning eighteen at midnight tonight”
“ I know, I’ve been told.”
Then we arrive at some huge event, People are stuffing there faces with poultry, and fattish cake. The old men are drinking red wine. The boy and girls are dancing in the middle of the of the cricked floor. A chandelier dangling from the top, is beautiful.
Its astonishes me, how I can be filled with an atmosphere of happiness and not feel any ounce complete, what’s so ever.
“ happy almost birthday Helen, I heard you were be wed with Jeremiah, He’s quite the fancy with all this girls here” My good friend Abigail calls out pointing to some tall, pale, brown haired, dirty blonde boy standing up drinking wine.
“ He’s walking towards you, wish you bunches of luck” Abigail runs off with the rest of the girls. Then he stand in front of me, he curtseys.
“You are?” I ask trying to be polite.
“ Jeremiah Lawrence, Your mother guided me to you, and I have to say you are quite beautiful” he kisses my palm then to the back of my hand
Then time flew by, and it was almost eleven. And hour until I’m eighteen. Lovely, the bell rings from the courtyard eleven times.
“ We shall dance miss. churchman”
“ We shall” I agree by placing my hands with his, and I follow his footsteps, am I actually having a good time? I think soo, then we sit down have a late feast.
“ so Helen, your wedding is next with Mr. Lawrence”
“ Really, that’s wonderful news” I lie through my straight teeth.
Then I realize I forgot something in my chariot, but find no way to excuse myself. So I do this.
“ I have to excuse myself, I will be back soon.” Putting my cloth on the table.
Then I walk outside, then I see someone coming up to me.
“ hello, are you Helen?” he asks me
“ yes I am, why do you ask?” Then I notice its George, what in the world would he be doing here?
“ George, Why are you here?” I ask
“ because, I heard about you getting married, and I wanted to say that I would love to take his place, and I will be crazy not to be jealous. You are the most beautiful thing, and It upsets me how your parents didn’t even have thoughts of me being your husband”
“ You think this is easy, marrying someone that I do not know. Thinking about having children with someone that I don’t know. Having my life be with that person. And I have always loved you, but it would be very childish to have feelings for you.” He cut me off and put his mouth over my neck, then my whole body feels numb, and all I say what darkness. And the bell ringing twelve times. I slowly feel my heart stopping.
I wake up, I’m in this strange room. There’s a mirror and I look at myself, my body feels rock hard, and this is the start of my non human life.
