I Need You
Chapter 2 is Up!
As I climb up to the scaffold, I see the whole crowd. Some of them are crying, others shouting abuse. "I pray for you not to give the signal for my death until I have spoken what I have in mind to speak" I say. He mumbles "Of Course" and I step in front of the crowd. "Good Christian People ..."
As I run to the tower, I see the crowd gathered around the scaffold. "Am I too late?" I worry in my head. I push through the crowd towards the front and I see Anne climbing to the scaffold. "Thank God!" I say, out loud this time. I continue to push towards the front as Anne begins her speech.
"And thus I take my leave of the world," I say," and of you. And I heartily desire you all to..." I never finish my sentence because I see the crowd parting. Then, Henry pushes to the front and looks at me. I stare back in disbelief and hastily, Henry climbs the steps towards me and shouts to the crowd...
I push to the front of the crowd and lock eyes with Anne for a second. Then, remembering why I was there, swiftly climb he steps and declare to the crowd, " This execution, of my beloved wife, Anne Boleyn," I look at her and pin her to my side, "was a very big mistake. She will be reunited with me and her daughter, and Jane Seymour and I's engagement is off!" The crowd was silent as I lead Anne off gently.
Henry leads me to his chambers where Jane Seymour lay awake in bed. "What is that witch doing here?" she shouts accusingly. "I am not a witch!" I say angrily. It's lucky Henry is holding me because if he wasn't, I would be running toward her. "You are to me!" She says, standing up straight. "Henry, why is she not dead?" He lets go of my shoulder and walks towards her, " She is my wife and the most beautiful woman on the planet." I smile at the look on Jane's face as Henry orders her out of court and out of his life.
As I lead Anne to my chambers, Jane Seymour is laid awake in my bed. Mine and Anne's Bed. She sits up and shouts accusingly " What is that witch doing here?" I tighten my grip on Anne as she says back " I am not a witch!" Jane draws herself up and says " You are to me! Henry, why is she not dead?" I let Anne go and walk towards Jane. " She is my wife and the most beautiful woman on the planet. Please leave and never return." I see Anne smiling as Jane leaves our lives forever.
