Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic day! Here is chapter 7 of this story! I hope you all enjoy it and I shall see you at the bottom of the page :)
I was completely clueless. Who was this boy that seemed to know me? My mother had given me no clues about who this mystery person was, but I was going to find out one way or another. I took my mother onto the terrace and asked her straight all of my questions.
"Mother, you must tell me who this person is. I am going to look like a fool if I don't understand any of the memories he brings up." I told her.
"Alright, calm down dear. When you turned three we had a big party to celebrate. Along with the party we invited guests from all over the kingdom, and Robbie and his family were one of them. You spent most of the party playing with him, and when the party ended, it was difficult to tear you two apart. You were best friends up until you were five. That's when your grandmother became more of a threat and we kept you out of the village." She explained.
"Well why does he remember all of this and I don't remember any of it" I asked her.
"Maybe he was more fond of those memories than we thought. Plus, he was five when you were three, so he might remember more of it all anyway." She said. I told her to tell him that I was in the bathroom as well if he came back before I did. I picked up the skirts of my dress and ran to my bedroom. There was an old brown box in my closet full of portraits done for the family. I wondered if there would have been any in there of Robbie and I considering of how close we used to be. I took out portrait after portrait looking for the one I wanted, but I hadn't found anything after a few minutes.
"There has to be something in here." I said out loud even though I knew no one could hear me. After I had pulled the last portrait out I was disappointed.
"I think this is what you are looking for." A voice said from behind me. I got up off my knees and turned around. There Robbie stood in my bedroom doorway, holding a very small picture, small enough to fit in a pocket. I slowly walked over to him and took the picture from his hand.
"My parents gave it to me before I came tonight. They thought it might jog your memory some." He said. The portrait was splotchy, obviously painted in a hurry, and faded, showing its age. I could make out two figures, sitting side by side, one taller and more masculine than the other. The other playing gracefully with a doll.
"Wait a minute, so you knew that I probably wouldn't remember you?" I asked as I handed the picture back to him.
"I knew you wouldn't remember me. First of all, I was the only one who had this picture. There was not another one painted. Second I knew your parents would probably not talk about me very much after they kept you away from the village." He said. I was relieved to know that I wouldn't have to hide my lack of remembrance from now on. He walked over to my vanity, and sat the picture up in my mirror.
"Just because we lost all of those memories, doesn't mean we can't make new ones." He said as he turned to face me. We closed the door to my bedroom and walked out into the garden to get away from the noise of the party.
"Favorite color?" He asked.
"Blue." I answered as we went over the bridge that crosses the river. We spent the rest of the night questioning each other on simple things, from colors to food to hobbies.
"Did you enjoy your party, dear?" My mother asked as Robbie and I came back into the castle.
"It was wonderful!" I replied.
"Well you should get to bed, Macy. You look so tired!" She said. My parents went to bed themselves, and I was not far behind them.
"I'm so glad we have had this chance to be friends again. Can I see you again tomorrow?" Robbie asked as he grabbed my hands.
"I suppose!" I replied. He kissed me on the cheek and bid me goodnight. I looked around at the empty ballroom before me and felt comforted by the memories of the night, and, slowly, I walked up the staircase to my bedroom. I was exhausted, but too love struck to realize it. It wasn't long before I fell asleep with a bright smile on my face.
Okay, yes, ridiculously short chapter. It was more of an informational chapter though to introduce you to Robbie. And yes, I did base Robbie off of Robbie Kay from Once Upon a Time. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Remember to R and R and follow/favorite!
