I DO NOT OWN : SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN.
A/N: Hallo guys. How are you doing? Thank you for reading, putting my story as your fave, putting it on alert, putting me on author alert and putting me as your fave author. Aaawww. You all are truly LOVELY! :D Love you loads, you guys. Here is chapter 2. I hope you like it. Tell me what you think in a review? Please? :)
Hold on to your seats, you guys. It is going to get interesting. Okay, here we will see Eric's POV. We are going to take a peak into his life.
What a long day I had! Today I worked from 9 AM till 11:30 PM, because I wanted to close this case. And I stayed a bit longer, doing some paperwork. I was so relieved, knowing that we arrested the murderer to a double homicide. He killed mother and daughter, because the mother broke up with him. What a nut! He didn't want her with anyone else but him. God! That was not love. That was some crazy OBSESSION.
I sighed, thanking the heavens that I don't have that problem. Love. I shook my head and felt a sudden sharp pain in my heart. My stomach turns upside down, every time I was reminded of her. 'Sarah' I whispered. She was my high school sweetheart. It has been 12 years since I saw her last. We were 17 and deeply in love. We were going to graduate high school together and planning to go to college after that. But fate wanted to be cruel to both of us. The day before graduation, Sarah disappeared.
The police, her family and friends and I searched high and low for her. I moved heaven and earth trying to find her; I dedicated years of my life because I believed I was going to succeed in finding her. But she never turned up. We never found her. The police believed that she was not alive anymore. Everybody eventually gave up: the police, her so called friends, even her parents did. But I never did. That's the reason I became a detective. I wanted to bring closure to the family and friends of the person who lost their life.
I never got closure though. And I never fell in love again. Sure I had girlfriends after Sarah, but I never felt love for another woman. I wondered if I am going to be single the rest of my life. I laughed sarcastically at the life I am living right now. When I was a teenager, I never thought I'd end up like this.
I left the police station around 00:30 AM, but didn't go straight back to my apartment. I stopped at a bar, trying to drink my sorrows away. Gosh! I am really pathetic, feeling sorry for myself. Around 1:30 AM I decided to go home, after I had a couple of drinks. I got out of the bar, walked to my car and was fumbling with my keys. I couldn't see straight anymore. Again I laughed at myself and decided to call a cab.
I searched for the number of the cab driver who usually brought me home, if I was too drunk to drive. Just as I was about to dial his number, something or to be precise, somebody caught my eye. I saw a young woman wandering the streets. It was late and dark, but by the light of the full moon, I could see her face clearly. She looked like she stepped out of a fairy tale. She had long, shiny raven black hair and lips red as the rose. I couldn't see the color of her eyes though. She was a true beauty.
She was about to cross the street and was so deep in thought, that she didn't see the car that was driving right at her! I ran as fast as my legs could and grabbed her tightly by both her shoulders and pulled her onto the sidewalk.
The moment my hands touched her shoulders, I was transported to some other place? Some other time? It was very confusing! I wasn't in the 21st century anymore. The clothes I was wearing were ridiculous! I was in a very dark forest, with an axe in my hand. Then I saw her: the beauty. She was smiling at me and told me to walk faster, if we wanted to reach our destination in time. I walked behind her slowly, making her turn around. She asked why I looked like I had seen a ghost. I just mumbled something even I didn't understand! She was wearing a worn out dress, but still she looked breathtaking. Walking right behind her, I took in her scent. Even with her old dress, she smelled AMAZING! I closed my eyes for a couple of seconds and opened them. I stared at her hand; her skin was white as snow. I had the sudden urge to feel her hand in mine; I wasn't able to hold myself back. But just as I was about to touch her hand, I was brought back to reality.
I was back and realized that I had roughly pulled her onto the sidewalk. I wished I wasn't that rough, but in that moment all I thought was to save her life. She got up and looked furious! I was pretty sure she was going to give me a piece of her mind. But when she saw that it was me, she looked kind of shocked and we just gazed into each other's eyes. Not a word leaving her or my lips.
She was truly a very gorgeous beauty. I think I have never seen someone as beautiful as her. She had sea green eyes, making me want to drown in them. I, Eric Gray, never was lost for words. But for a couple of minutes, I was. I sighed deeply and miraculously after a couple of moments, I was able to say:' Pardon me, but are you alright, miss?'
A/N again: Hey guys! What do you think? What will Snow say? What will she do? Both her and Eric are having visions. Are they just imagining things? Or are they memories?
Please review and tell me what you think.
Thank you. Have a good day!
:D
Ruby.
