Disclaimer: nothing is mine apart from the plot.
AlyXNawat. So this idea came to me one boring day in english. Added it too the random one shot folder. Hope you like. I like writing sad stories.
I want to go.
I want to forget.
I want to be able to walk the grounds without hearing her call my name.
I can't sleep alone at night.
I can't visit her office anymore. I would change back to the way I was born but I have a family to care for.
Everyone seems to have moved on but I can't.
The palace seems empty and quiet even though I know there are people around. I am more withdrawn these days. Barely see Dove or any of the others.
My children try not notice the difference. They want me to help them with their grief but I am still coping with my own.
My eldest came to me one day and said, "Daddy come back please. We know Mama is gone but you are still here and we need you." I looked into her green eyes, the same as her mothers and realised what a mess I had created. I had to fix it. I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight.
"I'm sorry my chick. I'll be here whenever you need me. Wait here one sec. I need you see something quickly." She nodded, her dark hair bouncing.
I left the room quickly and made my way to the throne room.
I didn't go in, just stared at the grave stones beside the steeps.
My eyes glanced over 'the strong one' and 'the wise one' and came to rest on 'the cunning one'.
There she was.
My beloved wife, lost in the ground, so close to me yet so far away.
"I have to let you go my love. I'm sorry. I tried to keep you but it broke our family apart and it's my entire fault. I love you and will always love you."
I walked away slowly knowing that the ache in my heart would never fade.
It time it might age but there would always be a part of me that yearned for Aly to come home to me.
Sorry it's not long. But i hoped you enjoyed it. Sorry about any errors. World worst speller
