Moritz had always thought of her, the way her blonde hair flowed in the wind and how her eyes were a deep blue. She was nothing like her brother Hanschen besides their hair color. Elizabeth had always been nice to Moritz even when the boys picked on him. Elizabeth was there when he got his first F and burst into tears she held him in her arms and said "everything will be okay you will survive."
Mortiz had seen Elizabeth one night running from her house crying he had never gotten the urge to talk to her and find out what had happened it was all too much, just to start a conversation with her seemed impossible. The next day he had not seen her in church and her family seemed quite which was not usual. The sermon had ended and instead of going home Moritz would walk to the stream. When he got to the stream he laid down on the ground looking up at the trees until he heard.
"Moritz" her goddess voice filled the air.
"Elizabeth, where have you been?" Moritz asked questioningly
"I was late today and umm well I was so late that I could not got to church"
She knew in her heart that if Moritz found out what her brother had done he would surely beat him up. That would only cause more trouble at home and more for her to deal with.
"Are you sure that was all I thought I saw you out late last night?"
"I can assure you that was not me. Good day Moritz I have to get home"
As she walked away Moritz noticed that she had a bruise on her arm and she was limping.
