Hello everyone, so ya this is my first fanfic. I wrote this short, short story in hopes of providing insight, on Emily's feelings about Barkis' deceit. I hope Emily isn't too OC and that you all will enjoy it, either way. Please review. (I beg you to show mercy.) .
I'll never forget what he did to me. Unforgivable and all for what? Money! That merciless, cruel monster! His betrayal, the tears I cried because of him, the sorrow that washed over me; as soon as he strikes. It's the agony I get whenever I think about him, that leaves me lifeless. He had cradled my heart in his sweet loving embrace, holding it ever so softly; affectionately. But when he deceived me, he dropped it, letting it go SPLAT! On the cold ground, all the love he had nurtured within me, oozed out never to return. Never will that hollow gap in my chest heal. Never in my life, would I have thought I'd let it get this far or end like this. I gave him everything, my love, the family jewels and a satchel of gold. That was my first and last mistake. When he said to bring the family fortune and meet him by the graveyard that should have been a wake-up call. I should have questioned his reason, I should have been prepared! But no, I just had to be blinded by love; Love that was one-sided. I should have been stronger than that… Why didn't I listen to my father when he told me to stay away from him? Why did I let this happen? Why did he have to take my dreams away?
