:) next chapter! Stay tuned after this because I'm also going to leave an important author's note after this chapter! It's about something REALLY important!
Courtney's POV
I didn't know where I was. All I could see was dark. This wasn't you're average everyday darkness, it made me fell empty and scarred. Like there was nothing left in the world for me. I was terrified so I tried calling out
"Hello? Is anyone here!" I yelled out.
"I am" a voice called out surprisingly calmly.
I whip-lashed my head around to see who had called to me. I only saw darkness. And emptiness.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" I demanded
Suddenly I backed up into the arms of another person in here with me. Startled I looked up to see teal eye staring at me.
"Duncan? Where are we and what are you doing here?" I stuttered
"Courtney, I've always been here. And I always will be." he stated taking me hands.
"What are you talking about?" I asked stunned. Looking him in the face, I was amazed by how soft his face looked. Almost like an angel's. His piercings sparkled, even with no light. His eyes seemed so warm and inviting, like a warm lake on a hot summer's day.
"Courtney, dear?" came another voice of someone here with us.
I quickly turned around to see my fiancé walking up to me smiling.
"Honey, we have to go." he stated taking me away from Duncan. He looked crushed when our hands parted.
"Courtney.....don't go." Duncan choked
"I...I .... Derek, where are we?" I asked looking back to Duncan.
"We're to be married! Don't you remember?" he chuckled. "Come, the recital is soon."
"now? But I'm not dressed and I have no idea where we are!" I reasoned
"Why you silly, yes you are dressed!" he replied
I looked down at myself I was suddenly wearing a pure white cream dress I had never seen before. It was a sleeveless with a crystal incrusted brim. With a frilly end.
"H-how did I?" I stuttered
"Come now, we don't want to be late!" he exclaimed happily.
As he started to pull me away I heard my named being called by Duncan
"Princess! Please don't go! I need you!" he cried
I only looked back at him. He had so much hurt in his face and tears in his eyes. I didn't know that he cared this much.
"Duncan, I-I can't" I replied
"Yes you can! You always could!" he sobbed
I didn't respond. He looked like he was really hurting. Then he started to fade away, calling my name.
Courtney.......Courtney.....COURTNEY!!!!!!!!
*back to reality* (that was dream in case you haven't already noticed)
"Courtney....Courtney....Courtney" Duncan chatted while trying to shake me awake. Then I realized it had all been a dream.
"D-Duncan?" I stammered
"Yeah, It's me. You were having some sort of nightmare." he stated
"Yeah, I was." I replied blankly
"You okay, you seem a little shaken up." he asked with a hint a concern in his eyes.
"I'm fine! I just need some fresh air." I exclaimed squeezing around him and going over to an open window.
I looked out the window to see that it was about afternoon, and the scenic country side was rolling on by. There were lots of wild flowers, grouped together like a mosaic. Painted under the distant planes. Wait planes????
"Duncan? Where are we?" I asked anxious
"Close to our stop......we should be there tonight." he half whispered
Finally things would be back to normal! I could go back to Derek and everything would be right again.
Duncan's POV
sigh. So my plan didn't work. Princess is going off with prince charming and I'm going to be stuck in prison on kidnap ing charges. Well, Princess said she wouldn't press charges.....but still this sucks!!!!
"Hey Courtney..." I started
"Yeah." she replied not looking back from the window.
"I just wanted to know if...." I began
"If what...." she said suddenly getting curious and coming down from the window.
"If...we could still be friends....in light of....recent events.." I continued
"Oh...." she replied
"*sigh* It's okay if you never want to speak to me again, I just wanted to know if we could like not totally hate each other." I said
"I'm not going to hate you Duncan, I may dislike you but I'm not going to hate you." She replied
that lifted my spirits more than she probably intended it to. But hey, I was happy she didn't hate me.
-to be continued-
So like I said stay tuned because there's an author's note coming up RIGHT after this! :)
Review to THIS chapter too though!!!!!!
