Elizabeth was silent pretending to sleep in bed her eyes red from her long cry, as she laid in the bed of the bright room more and more she felt that the pressure on her was becoming something she felt she couldn't control. As she heard footsteps reach the door she closed her eyes, the click of the door shut and soon the light from the room darkened, she heard the sounds of the curtain close and she shifted slightly. As Elizabeth slightly opened her eyes she saw a very stressed out alois laying in the bed looking directly at her and he speaks loudly," I know you up, we both sensed your presence Lizzy please lets relax and talk. Elizabeth sat up turning her body to him opening her eyes he can he gasped at how horrible she looked from her crying, he came close within a few seconds gathering her up into his arms, "Elizabeth. I hate to put you through this... I want you to be happy and have a normal life. Please don't be upset with me."
Elizabeth looks up at him trying not to cry, "How can I not be! Having a meeting with him especially since I came yesterday wanting to escape his presence, and yes I'm upset the reality of this situation has gone completely insane, all I want is a normal life, can I not ask for that?!" Alois sighs heavily and his grip tightens around here, "I want that for you, he gave us the option to do that and I want to gladly take it, even if it means …letting you. Go." Elizabeth gasps and pushes him away getting off the bed, tears falling down her cheeks, "how can you say that! I want to learn about what we had when we were young, I want to know you! I'm not letting you just abandon me! Like him! I want complete happiness! But you have to be there to make it exist! I'm not running off the battle field just because you want me happy in another man's arms! Which you know is wrong! Theirs more then you are trying to say! I know you have love for me, I need to have my past in order to know me again!" Alois stares at her his blue eyes staring surprised by what she said ~Lizzy…~ within a speed of light he is in front of her once again holding her close, "you don't know how much I love you to know I want you safe and sound, I know your strong and you can fight well. But I don't want to lose you all over again, this time to death. I've loved you since the day we kept sneaking off to our special tree in the meadow, and the day you gave me your lips and your heart.
Today I promise you were going to go and I promise you'll find yourself and your sweet memories all in one." Elizabeth smiles while blushing slightly and moves close kissing his cheek, "then let's go, the faster the better to put the puzzle pieces together." Alois chuckles and lifts her up slightly kissing her neck and sits her on the edge of the bed as he grabs clothes in his closet and goes into the bathroom to change giving Elizabeth some time to as well. She hurries picking out her light pink lacey dress that have rose patterns all through the edges. As she quickly tugs that on, she pins her hair in the back having some of her hair down her back.
She smiles looking in the full length mirror grabbing her umbrella for the sun, as she turns around she gasps seeing Alois dressed in light green vest with a white button down shirt, along with long brown boots up to his knees and a small light brown jacket matching his white pants. Elizabeth smiles and slightly blushes bowing slightly, "you look well groomed." Alois chuckles and lifts her chin slightly up, so their gazes meet, "thank my lady but I see pure and perfect beauty right here." Elizabeth gasps pulling politely back, "thank, we should get going now." Alois nods taking her hand in his as he walks her down the hall and down the steps. His butler walks beside and speaks loudly, "your carriage is ready sir" Alois smiles and the front double doors are opened for them and alois responds, "make sure dinner is ready by the time we arrive back, and a little snack within out rooms." His butler bows, "yes as you wish Master Alois" The doors close behind them and Elizabeth tightens her grip in his hand ,somehow feeling a very weigh on her mind as they stepped into the carriage.~
The sun hit Elizabeth's face as she stepped out the carriage with the help of alois, the carriage leaves without a word and alois moves ahead leading the path. A gentle breeze swayed over Elizabeth as she looked to the large tree that was rooted in the middle of the grass field they were in, her heart pounded as she moved faster and faster each step toward it alois watched already leaning against it, smiling. Elizabeth threw her umbrella to the side rushing up the hill putting her hand on the trunk closing her eyes smiling as if trying to remember something lost within her own soul. Alois took her hand kissing it gently, "let's sit and I'll show you what Ciel has taken from you" Elizabeth opens her eyes nodding as she sits along with Alois. Elizabeth unpins her letting lose her wavy hair, her golden strands of her looking bright within the sunlight. Alois gasps at this pushing her closer onto his lap and kisses her forehead and whispers, "close your eyes and look deep into yourself of what you lost." ~
Elizabeth opens her eyes looking around confused ~where am I? I thought I would find my memoires? ~As she sits up getting up on her feet, she hears the sounds of giggling in the air recognizing their voices and hurries along the path alois showed her. She stops seeing the young children recognizing herself ~that's. Me…and that's alois~ Alois young with the same blue eyes as he held her close in his arms. ~so we were in love when we were young~ Elizabeth moves closer as to not grab attention and sits at a good distance from them sitting and watching as if a film playing in front of her eyes. The Elizabeth in his arms kisses his cheek and asks, "how can we be together if were supposed to be married to people we were chosen to marry?" Alois laughs and Elizabeth's smiles waiting for a reaction. "don't worry about that, I promise when I'm older we'll go far far away from everyone and I promise well make a family and be happy always." The little Elizabeth giggles as she smiles and nods.
Suddenly the memory changes and the weather becomes intensely cold but Elizabeth sits their unaffected ~maybe I'm just here watching through my memories though I'm not really here hopefully~ The little Elizabeth walks up the hill in a warm jacket shouting for alois, "alois! Alois! "Suddenly another figure hiding behind the tree runs to her holding her close, "are you mad you'll get sick! I told you I'd come to your room at night to keep you company!" The little Elizabeth cry's and holds him tight, "NO! I couldn't stand being away from you I missed you so much alois!" Alois chuckles and kisses her nose, "don't worry we'll go back to your house together ill be sure to sneak out by morning okay?" the little Elizabeth cheers and holds his hand, "yay! Thank you alois!"
Elizabeth herself smiles as the memories change and she is now 10 years old and it's a spring day, she watches as the season changes into beautiful colors of bright flowers around her and the warm sun reveals itself on the grass meadow. Elizabeth watches as she sees herself walking up the path touching the tree trunk and looks around, "alois… please forgive me for not having to see you for a while." The young Elizabeth sits near the tree and hears a noise, "who goes there?!" Alios a year older then appears, grown, stronger and handsome as if fitting into a painting of art. Elizabeth stands up rushing to him holding him tight," oh alois forgive me please I'm sorry for our separation!" Alois holds her tight and looks into her yes, "no need to say sorry it was our parent's fault for doing such a thing, they found out about our meetings through just glad you're here. I've missed you so much Lizzy." The young Elizabeth smiles and kisses him gently on the lips, "I can't live without you alois." Alois holds her tighter "neither can I." Alois leads her quickly down another path together somewhere secret, Elizabeth stands up hurrying after them and feels another presence but keeps going. Elizabeth gasps seeing them in a flower bed holding each kissing passionately, she blushes and smiles to herself seeing this.~alois..~ She glances seeing Ciel and pulls back as if he's looking at her but he flows his eyes and sees his pointed toward her and runs away leaving and Elizabeth runs after him seeing tears in his eyes, she stops watching him go. Oh poor thing… he was around alois age seeing this, he must have been upset. ~
The memory changes and she's standing near the tree and gasps seeing alois and Ciel fighting and young Elizabeth try's to pull them off, "stop it you two! Stop!" ALois pulls back his lip bleeding, "you may be her fiancé to her! But I claim her! You pay her no love but of a cousins! She deserves a man with real love!" Ciel pants with a black and blue yes, "that's what you say but you'll pay for going against what's right! Lizzy may be my cousin but I love her too! You got in trouble once and you both can get in trouble again!" Ciel runs down the path away from them both. Alois spits on the ground, leaning on the tree, "go Lizzy before you're in trouble again. Tomorrow is ceils birthday so be with him to make him feel better after come meet me here." Elizabeth nods and kisses him briefly," alright but please no more fighting." Alois nods and kisses her back, anything for you." Elizabeth smiles running off down the path and Alois stands holding something in his hand tightly walking away slowly. Elizabeth stares at him feeling her tears in her eyes ~oh alois …we went through so much~
The memory for the last time changes and smokes in the air in the distance Elizabeth sees the house, Ciel's burning down and she remembers her memory wasn't so clear when that happened, the young Elizabeth is coughing and heading up the tree calling out alois, "alois!alois! Ciel's house is on fire! "Alois runs grabbing her into his arms, "lets hurry and help come, come!" As they rush together the memory changes quickly and their both searching in the woods for CIel holding each other's hands, "do you really think he went through here?" Alois nods serious, "I know for sure, I saw people go this way taking something." The young Elizabeth hears something and halts him to wait within a second they're both pulled away from each other and chaos begins, Elizabeth thrown to the side and someone hitting her hard in the head and whispers something in her ear, she faintly closes her eyes and is taken away. "LIZZY!" Alois struggles as someone ejects something into his head and is taken away. The last thing Elizabeth see's is a Sebastian carrying Elizabeth while holding Ciel's hand, "your will is done master." Ciel smiles, "good let's hurry off then shall we."~
