CHAPTER 1: The beginning of the end

Flashback-

"Well ,well ,well look who we have here. The young native girl that other redskin native boy has got his fingers wrapped around," says Charles lee as he comes from behind the tree.

"CHARLES LEE?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Gracelyn retorted back.

"Isn't it me you want, hmm?"

"What do you mean 'he's got his fingers wrapped around me'?" Gracelyn inquires curiously.

"Oh?! Hasn't he told you yet?"

"GRACLYN, DON'T LISTEN TO HIM! HES TRYING TO TRICK YOU!" Connor interrupted shouting frantically.

"Oh don't you fool me boy. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Or should I say WHO I'm talking about." Charles states.

"Connor what does he mean by you what or who he's talking about? What's going on?" questions Gracelyn.

"Nothing. Come here. NOW! "Connor demanded stepping forward and grabbed her wrist.

"No."

"What?"

"Not until you tells me what's going on."

"Go on boy, she needs to know the truth." Charles commands

"There is nothing to say about anything."

"Then allow me, savage."]

"Please Connor tell me what's going on." pleaded Gracelyn.

"NO! There is nothing to say! So stay away from that man, don't listen to him. Come here!" demanded Connor.

"Why are you so afraid to divulge this information to me?"

"I'm not afraid of anything." Connor confidently replied.

"I'm afraid to tell you this dear but-"

"NO! Gracelyn just stay here with me and-"

"HE. NEVER. .He has been playing with your heart and has made you believe that he actually may care about you. Sadly for you he has eyes for another. She goes by the name of Aveline or so I've heard."

"What? No…" Gracelyn solemnly said.

"Yes he has even bedded the young lady too." Charles stated.

"THAT'S NOT TRUE!" Connor shouted.

"Oh, but it is…" Charles said.

"Gracelyn…No please, it's not true, you have to believe me." Connor pleaded.

"Connor…This can't be possible. Y-You never loved me?"

"Grace it isn't like that."

"Dear, don't you see what he is doing? He was trying to get the best of you and for what? Nothing."

"I-I'm sorry I have to go…." Gracelyn sadly apologised and started to walk away.

"Please don't go. Let me expl-"

"Don't. Touch. Me! You lied to me Connor! You've broken my heart and I can't believe that I actually trusted you with it! Every kiss, every touch…it was all fake! I can't believe you!"

"I love you Gracelyn and I have been in love with you this whole time that we were together. Please I promise I -"

"You promise?! No Connor. You've ruined everything! I hate you! NEVER SPEAK OR EVEN COME NEAR ME AGAIN!"

Gracelyn furiously walks away with tears in her eyes as she tries to keep it together. Connor looked on, dumbfounded by what had just happened. His demeanour changed and he became furious. He turns to face Charles Lee.

"You see what a mess you've made?! She'll never trust me again and it's all because of you,"Connor menacingly approaches Charles. He punches him straight in the jaw and cuts his arm using his hidden as Charles tries to retaliate. He then tackles him and they end up at the bottom of the water fall….
