Chapter 1: The choice between good and bad
Esmeralda's POV
"The time has come, gypsy. You stand upon the brink of the abyss. Yet even now, it
is not too late. I can save you from the flames of this world, and the next. Choose me, or the fire"
Frollo said as he leant so close too be that I could see the color of his eyes clearly. I made myself ready to spit in his face, but, I didn't understand why, I didn't spit. I really CONSIDERED his request. I looked at him, and I tried to imaged him as a lonely old man. Just someone who needed someone to love and care about. But I knew that he was a bad man. He tried my people as trash, he tried to burn all of us at the stake. Why would I even consider to…. Suddenly something popped up in my mind. I COULD give him what HE wanted, if he did what I WANTED.
"if you promise to let my people go, I will accept your proposal"
I whispered as I looked away from him. I now saw a girl, standing behind him. She had dark brown hairs and wore a light green dress. She looked at me with kind green eyes. Frollo was clearly shocked of this reaction. Because he felt silence for a minute. But after what felt like an eternity, he finally responded:
"I promise I will let your people go, if you will give up your life as a Gyspy"
his eyes glowed red in the fire of his torch. This made swallow. What was I doing? I was giving in on this crazy man! The man that tried to destroy my people. And now I ALSO had to promise that I will betray my people. But I had to! For the wellbeing of my people, I had to do what this bad man said. My throat was dry and I could barely swallow, so I nodded to let him know I agreed with that.
"the witch Esmeralda his seen the light! She will stay with a servant of god to learn how to stay In the light she has seen now"
With these words, Frollo took the hand of the woman with the brown hairs, and put my hand in hers. I looked at her with a slight smile. She looked nice. And maybe she could learn to love Frollo someday. I thought as I walked with the girl into the cathedral , ignoring the way the people behind me where looking at me, stunned , that I really gave in to this man's wish. But I do this for my people. I have no choice, only this way they will be saved.
"ESMERALDA! ESMERALDA COME BACK!"
I heard Clopin call. but I did not turn around. I knew that I would only make things worse, if I would walk towards him, to say goodbye. So I called jolly and silently walked into the cathedral, Knowing that I made the right choice….
The first chapter of a brand new story! I hope I fixed the spelling and grammar errors good enough for you!
