Prologue
I watched with amazement as the sky exploded with the vibrant colors of the sunrise. Slowly light blue glimmered through the sky and replaced the once heavy darkness of the night. I watched in silence as the birds flew across the orange horizon. Orange, the sudden thought of fire came to mind. My body welcomed the physical state of being numb, but emotionally I could feel the sting of the sword severing my throat making it raw. As I recalled the event of the day; the bile built up in my throat and the tears began to well up in my eyes. I silently gasped trying to catch my breath. He, the man I have been in love with is to leave me today; his body is to disappear into the flames. I must watch silently as he is burned at the stake, engulfed by the flames of our forbidden love. The fire I set aflame as I encouraged our friendship that blossomed into something greater than both of us. This flame would now soon be the death of us.
I looked over my surroundings and leaned against the tree, our secret meeting place where we would share our love. As I closed my eyes I could vividly remember the night he had stolen our first kiss. I remembered the way he gently and sweetly placed his lips against mine while tenderly stroking my hair. He chuckled as we pulled away immediately noticing the blush that fervently pounded through my cheeks. "Oh Alice" he murmured under his breath, "You are incapable of being imperfect." He said softly as he placed a chaste and yet lingering kiss on my forehead. I nuzzled myself closer to him, placing my head on his chest at such an angle that I can hear his strong and calm heartbeat. I sighed, as his heartbeat lulled me to sleep. Although the night was cold, I could feel the warmth from within me radiating throughout my body. Sitting nuzzled in him with his arm around me was the best lullaby; it was a song my body hummed in response.
I shook my head as the memory faded, and suddenly I felt cold once again. The warmth was gone, he was gone. I don't know how I was to endure this day, but what I do know is that when he dies with him he will take my soul. He is my soul mate, without him my soul cannot survive. I wouldn't know how to live anymore. The purpose or meaning of life itself would be stripped from me. My heart and mind, empty and vacant. I cannot let this happen. For the first time my life had meaning. With him I felt alive, a feeling a have never experienced. I can't let this happen. Determination had set in; I would not let my life slip so easily away from my grasp.
