The Last Rose Of Summer Chapter 2
Natalia still hadn't had a clue to where she was and why she was here, or what had happened to her. The only thing she remembers is her boyfriend, ex-boyfriend now, cheating on her, and then her falling into the chilling river.
When she woke up, she hadn't recognized where she was, and at first she thought that she might be in someone's house, if it weren't for the four men in the room. She knew though, that for some odd reason, the men had looked familiar. She couldn't quite put her finger on where she'd seen them from before, but she knew she had.
"You're still staring! Stop staring!" Natalia heard the blonde man tell the blonde/red haired man, quit strictly. But going against the blonde man's demands for him to stop staring, he stared more.
"She's the strangest looking elf I've ever seen." Natalia heard the blonde/redhead mutter under his breath and at first, she thought she hadn't heard him right.
'Elf? They think I'm an elf.' Natalia thought to herself. Amused by what they said, she started to chuckle, quietly at first, but then it progressed in volume, until she was laughing quite loudly.
"I'm not an elf!" Natalia told the men through the various breaths she took to try and calm herself down.
'The very thought of them thinking that I'm an elf. That's ridiculous!' Natalia thought to herself, her laughing dying down to a quiet chuckle, which stopped when she saw that none of them men were laughing.
"She's a strange elf too..." Natalia heard the dark haired man mutter to the blonde one, while moving away from her slightly.
"I'm not an elf. I'm human. Elves don't exist." Natalia stated while staring at the men, looking at them just as strangely as they looked at her. Why were they so keen on saying that she was an elf? They didn't exist; they were made up characters from fairy tales.
Natalia continued to look at the men, curiously at first, then with a little worry. If they had truly thought that elves existed, then there must be something wrong with them. Elves don't exist.
"She thinks elves dont' exist. She really must have bumped her head harder than she thought." Natalia heard the men whispering about her in quiet voices, noting that they probably didn't mean for her to hear, but she did.
'Bumped my head? I didn't bump my head, I nearly drowned.' Natalia thought to herself quietly before she directed her attention towards the stairs. She could hear some footsteps coming from behind the door, and she expected the men to hear them too, but when she turned her attention to them, she found them still in their own conversation.
Natalia turned away from the men again and she focused back on the door. She saw the door handle being turned before it was quickly pushed open and closed. She watched the mysterious person keep their backs towards her and the men, before they briefly turned around and scanned the room.
Natalia's eyes flickered up towards him as she quickly took in his appearance. She saw that he had dark, wavy hair that fell to his shoulders. He had a beard, but it suited him, unlike some people who had them. Natalia noticed that instead of the brown eyes she almost expected him to have, he had bright blue eyes. In other words, she found him attractive and would've wanted to act on her attraction, if i weren't for that one thing.
'Cheater' flashed through her mind, as the images when didn't want to replay in her mind did. They played over and over again. The image of her ex and the woman, the shiny, smooth ring on her finger, the look they were giving each other.
"You're awake, that's good. Eat. You'll need your strength." The mysterious man told Natalia before he tossed her an apple and a piece of bread. Natalia quickly caught them both with surprised eased, and instead of it eating it like he said, she stared at it cautiously.
"There's nothing wrong with them. Eat." The man told her strictly before he turned back to the other men and began talking to them.
Deciding to trust the man, she was hungry and he did say that she'd need her strength, she took a bite of the apple, and smile when she realized that the apple was quite good. She continued to eat the apple, and then she went on to finish the bread, ignoring the conversation they were in. That is until they all stopped talking and stared at her.
Natalia stopped chewing her bread and she swallowed it quickly, but didn't say anything. She kept looking at them, still cautious, but also curious as to why they were staring at her.
"What?" Natalia asked quietly, not enjoying being stared at by so many people.
"You don't believe that you're an elf." The mysterious man told her, briefly looking back at the other men, then her again.
"Of course I don't. Elves don't exist." Natalia stated, trying to ignore the chuckles that were coming from the men. She didn't know why they were chuckling, but it made her feel a little uncomfortable.
'He's staring at me funny. They're all staring at me funny.' Natalia thought quickly before she looked at them and then looked away quickly.
"Elves are real. They are just as real as you and I." Natalia heard the man speak in a hushed but firm tone. He left no room for argument with the tone he had but even if Natalia did try to argue, she knew it would be in vain.
But still, Natalia couldn't help but listen to the nagging voice in the back of her head telling her to argue. She tried hard to let it go, and let them believe what they wanted to, but Natalia couldn't. She couldn't just let this go. They were claiming that she was something she wasn't.
"I am not an elf!" Natalia told them firmly, then quickly crossed her arms over her chest to reinforce herself.
'The idea that they think I'm an elf is ridiculous.' Natalia lightly scoffed to herself, missing the look that the four men were sharing.
"That necklace you where is the necklace of an elf." Natalia threw her hands to her necklace and touched it lightly, feeling the beautiful designs of the necklace. She had this ever since she could remember and it was her most prized possession.
"I've had this ever since I could remember. It's from Peru and it's supposed to bring good luck." Natalia told the man, trying not to get angry at him.
"You have the pointed ears of an elf and the blue eyes. You have the necklace of an elf, and you also have the beauty. You are an elf." The man told her, turning all his attention towards her.
Natalia furrowed her eye brows and gave the man a weird look, and wanted to shake her head, but she hesitated. The man had kept telling her the same thing over and over; she was an elf, she is an elf.
'Should I believe him? He is so adamant about it. Maybe I should...' Natalia thought to herself as her eyes scanned the room for a mirror.
Once she found a mirror, she got off of the bed, steadying herself at first, and then she made her way across the room. She walked towards the mirror slowly, her feet feeling like lead, dragging her down. She reached the mirror and she gripped the handle, wanting to turn it over, but she felt something stopping her.
'You won't like what you see.' A quiet voice came from the back of Natalia's mind, it was so small that she barely heard it.
Natalia ignored the voice and quickly turned over the mirror and almost dropped it. The person staring back at her was someone she didn't recognize. The person staring back at her could not in any way be her.
Natalia stared at the reflection for a moment before she touched her face, pulled on her hair, and gazed at her new ears. This wasn't her, it couldn't be her.
'This has got to be a joke, a dream even. This can't be me. This isn't me.' Natalia told herself that it was a dream over and over again, until she almost believed it.
"You are what you are." Natalia ignored the man and went back to staring at her reflection.
'This isn't real. This is a dream, this has got to be a dream.'
