Defiance, Humility, and Fear
Pleas Comment! (Or your immortal soul will be taken by my brother Death and forever be held captive in The Eternal Pits Of Despair >:))
I got this idea from a book i read called Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers ( you guys should really read it!!!!) and i decided to alter it a little and make my own little story, but in the book it's much sadder, so i made it happy. I think it needs a little work but, i guess it's up to you guys weather or not it does. But plz comment!
Setting:California, Sacramento, 1857
Name: Victoria Love
Eye color: Ocean blue
Hair color: Dark brown
Scared of: Michael Stone
Reason for running: Falling in love with Michael, who hit me, it wasn't his fault, he lost his temper with me, but i'm scared to end up like my mother and lose the man i love by him using me. And i couldn't stand to do that with Michael. So i'm leaving.
I was running until my feet were bleeding and even then i didn't stop.
I put a hand to the new and painful bruise on my face from where Michael had hit me.
I shouldn't have told him anything about my past, i should have stopped when he told me too.
"Victoria!" Michael yelled, getting closer, "Please, come back, i don't want to lose you again!"
I could hear the pain in his voice, but i didn't dare look back. I couldn't hurt Michael any more, not lie mama did to papa.
I won't be like her.
My purple dress caught on a stump and i fell onto the floor causing me to hit my back on a rock. Breathless for a moment i struggled to get up as i heard Michael's foot steps grow closer.
When I managed to stand i quickly started to run but the first few steps and Michael caught me by the waist.
I kicked and screamed and fought with all my strength, only to fall to the floor on my stomach and Michael turned me over roughly to my backside, pinning me down by my wrists.
I was out of breath and breathing hard and i didn't want to look into Michael's pained eyes, Michael was only two inches away from my face and i couldn't help but look anyway, he had the saddest look in his eyes and it pierced my heart to know that he was in pain because of me.
"What is it going to take for you to realize that i love you, and i never want you to leave!? I am sincerely sorry that i hit you" he let go of one of my wrists and gently touched my bruised face,"I didn't mean it, but i don't want you to run away from me, I love you, Victoria Love, and i want you to be Mrs. Victoria Stone." He said for the millionth time.
He would ask me everyday in the garden behind the cabin he lived in and i would always decline him, just like mama did to papa.
You love him, Victoria, admit it, you can't keep running away
I looked at him and that was all it took to make up my mind.
My breath was slowing and when he kissed me my heart beat faster.
It was the only warm and sweet thing in my life that i had ever experienced. He let my other wrist go and was holding my face gently, i ran my hands through his hair and loved every feeling i had at that moment.
He kissed me harder and i felt a fire burning in my stomach.
"Will you marry me?" He asked parting my lips from his.
I closed my eyes again and when i opened them he was looking at me with such hope i couldn't stand to hurt him anymore.
I nodded my head and said the one word my mother forbid me to ever say to a man. "Yes."
He lit like the sun and smiled with such radiance that i could see a glow form around him.
He was still smiling when he said "Lets go home."
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Michael carried me bridal style while taking me into the cabin. He was still kissing me as he gently laid me down on the bed.
He released his lips from mine and pulled out a wedding ring.
It was a medium sized diamond with i gold outline, on the inside it said 'Together, entwined, and forever'
He slid the ring onto my finger and i felt as though my heart were in my throat.
He looked at me and kissed me again, "I love you, Victoria."
I closed my eyes and said "I love you, Michael." And as soon as i said it i felt as if i could fly.
He smiled and asked,"How did those words feel coming out of your mouth?"
"Surprisingly sweet." I smiled back at him.
He kissed me and when he did i didn't even realize he was unbuttoning my dress.
Earlier that morning i had told him i had never had a good time, not once, my life was all torture and humility, so i knew exactly what he meant when he whispered against my lips, "I'll show you a good time."
He smiled deviously and undid the rest of my dress, and i finally got to know what a good time was.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
When i woke up i was alone in the bed and was completely bare under the sheets.
I saw Michael out the window without a shirt on and chopping wood for the fire.
I watched him for a while and when he came inside he put the fire in the pit and laid next to me in the bed.
We did nothing that day but talk about happy things, lie in the bed and hold each other and kiss.
And i knew, that this was going to be home for as long as i was going to exist on this earth
