Snow's POV

At the moment, I was in the shower. Eric went to check if everything was still in the car. I hoped nothing was taken away. Thinking about what happened not so long ago, made me blush. I bet a $100,- that my face turned crimson red. I really needed the shower, because my body got hot. Really, really hot. Eric's eyes and hands and lips and scent and six pack and… Well everything about him, could make me forget the world around me. I sighed, thinking back at his six pack: Like a wild woman I tore all the buttons of his shirt away, giving me the chance to have a look at his flat, muscled, gorgeous stomach. Oh, it was not fair that he not only had a handsome face, but he also had a very hot body. I sighed again, got dressed and looked in the mirror. OMG! My face looked like a tomato! I turned the air conditioning on and put it on a very low temperature. I needed to cool down; it was Eric's fault though. With one look or touch, he could make me hot. I had it bad, so bad.

When Eric came back in my room, he had a concerned look on his face." Eric, what's wrong sweetie?" I worriedly asked. He sighed deeply and said:" Snow, I am so sorry but one of your handbags is missing." I looked at him with open mouth." What? Do you mean that it's stolen? Which bag, Eric. Which color?" I asked hysterically.

I had brought seven handbags with me; he placed six on my bed. My fear was coming true! My white designer bag was STOLEN! I had put the key in THAT bag! The key that opened my safety deposit box! The room started to spin uncontrollably; I almost fell down but Eric caught me in his arms. After a few moments, I slowly opened my eyes while I was still in his arms. He looked so worried and intertwined his fingers with mine. It was then, when I had a 'memory':

It was the day the maid accidentally found the letter in a very old and small chest, which was hidden under my parents' bed. My name was on it; my father had left it for me. In the letter my father wrote:

Dear daughter,

When you are reading this, it means that I am no longer with you. I am truly sorry that I can't be there for you to guide you through life. Life is already hard, but now that you are Queen it could be more difficult and even harder. So I am going to try to guide you, even if I am not with you. I have a very good friend. His name is Bevis. Whenever you come to a point in your life and you want to find out if the path you are about to take is the right one, you should go to Bevis. He has a truly remarkable gift; he has the 'ability' to see the future. He could help and guide you, my dear daughter. Go to Bevis for help and guidance.

Love,

Your father.

After reading it a dozen times, that same afternoon I went straight to Bevis. He welcomed me, but he looked shocked after I gave him the letter to read. He told me that he was going to do what my father had asked him; he also said that he didn't do these things anymore. The last time he did, it was more than 10 years ago and he almost died. But he will do it this one LAST time, because it was my father's last wish.

There was a room in the back of the cottage; he led me there and asked me to sit at a round table. It was small and made of heavy wood. There were two chairs, so I took a seat on one of them. He sat opposite of me and took my hands in his. I was afraid, but I trusted him. So I tried to stay calm. He was still holding both my hands and shut his eyes.

I couldn't believe that Bevis really had the 'ability' to see the future, but I did believe in magic. So I didn't doubt Bevis. " What do you want me to see, my Queen?" he asked with his eyes now open. "At the moment, I have chosen a path in my life. There are two men in my life, who claim to love me. One of them, I love like a friend. His name is William. The other, has completely stolen my heart. He owns my heart. I am completely and utterly in love with him. And I plan to marry him. His name is Eric. My decision is final, but I would like to know what you foresee. My heart tells me to be with Eric; he is the one my heart desires. So tell me, Bevis. Is my heart right or wrong?" I asked him with a trembling voice.

" The first path you spoke of: I will take a look what it has in store for you. I will be able to see the future through your eyes, my Queen and feel what you feel." He said, sighed deeply and shut his eyes tightly. It looked like he was in a place far away from here. He had all kind of different looks on his face, but stayed still. He opened his eyes for a moment and said:" The second path you spoke of: I will take a look what it has in store for you. And I will also be able to see the future through your eyes, my Queen and feel what you feel." Then he shut his eyes tightly. He was 'gone' again. But this time I saw horror, despair, sadness, written all over his face.

At a certain point his whole body began to shake uncontrollably. I was terrified! He still had his hands in mine, so I too was shaking. I wanted to ask him to stop with what he was doing, because like he said the last time he did it he almost died. But I was beyond terrified and began to cry silent tears. He kept shaking and tears were rolling down his cheeks. Just by looking at his face, I knew that the second path would be a wrong one to take. At one point he yelled:" No! No, don't die on me! I cannot live without you, my loved ones! No!" Those words made the hairs on my neck stand up. I was terrified and I too began to sob uncontrollably. At one point, he stopped shaking and pulled his hands from me. He then opened his eyes and I saw his eyes filled with tears. They were rolling down his cheeks.

When I heard him shout those words of despair, I had a very bad feeling. After he had regain his composure, he said firmly:" My Queen, I have seen your futures. And I know which path you do not want to take." He sighed deeply and continued:" I advise you to not marry Eric, the huntsman." When I heard him say that, I became hysterical and shouted: " Why not, Bevis? Why can I not be with the only man that possesses my heart? He is the one I truly love. He was the one who brought me back to the land of the living, after Ravenna poisoned the apple I took a bite of. He is the only reason, I wake up every day. The one I live for."

After saying that, I broke down and cried. I sobbed non-stop like a little child. When I had calmed down, he said:" My Queen, I am truly sorry." I looked up at him with tears in my eyes and asked:" What did you see, Bevis? What was so horrible that I cannot be with the love of my life?" With a sad face he answered:" My Queen, I not only saw your future with him, but I felt what you felt also. If you decide to be with Eric the huntsman, you will have two beautiful daughters with him. You will be very happy, but only for a short time. When your daughters turn 7 and 5 years old, you will lose all three of them. Eric will be killed first, trying to protect you. Like he always does. On the same day, both your daughters will be killed also. You will survive, but you will be the only one left of your beautiful family. For the rest of your life, you will only feel sorrow and pain. Nothing else. You won't be able to recover from such a big loss, my Queen. You will blame yourself, because you won't be able to save them. All three of them will die in your arms. " At the end, a tear escaped Bevis' eyes and his voice trembled. He took my hands in his and pleaded:" Please, my Queen. Do not marry the huntsman. Take the other path; marry the Duke's son. You will not be very happy, but you won't experience any gut wrenching pain. And the most important thing: If you marry the Duke's son, Eric will NOT DIE. Eric, the love of your life will be able to live a full life!"

The whole afternoon, I stayed at Bevis'. I asked, even begged him if there was another way. A better way, but there was none. He even tried to look again, but he saw the same awful future if I married Eric. There really was nothing I, he or anybody else could do. I had to let go of Eric. There was no other way; I had no other choice.

The tears kept flowing, I couldn't believe that I was going to lose Eric like this. My heart did not want to let go of him, but my head knew that I couldn't watch Eric die. If I had the power to save him from death, then I will do it. Like he saved my life, more times than I could count. I thought long and real hard, looked Bevis in the eyes and decided:" I will marry William. But I will do it for Eric. So Eric won't have to die. So he can live." After letting those words leave my lips, I broke down again and cried.

Eric's POV

When Snow realized which handbag was stolen, her legs failed her. She almost fell hard on the floor, but thankfully I caught her in my arms on time. I was worried sick about her and called her name softly:" Snow, baby. Please Snow. Wake up, baby." After a few moments, she slowly opened her eyes. I was still worried about her and I intertwined my fingers with hers.

It was then, when I had a 'memory':

Three days! I was stuck for three days in this cottage with a crazy, old man called Bevis. He told me to stay, because there was someone very important coming to have a word with me. I could've left since three days ago, but I was so curious. So I decided to stay. Little did I know that I was going to have to wait for that important person for three whole days! My patience had vanished on the end of the third day; it was almost 6 PM. I thought that Bevis had probably lied about it to keep me here. So I got up and wanted to walk out the door. But just as I was about to walk out, Bevis grabbed me. "The Queen has arrived." He said in a calm voice.

A/N again: Hey guys! What do you think? Will Eric have the chance to speak to Queen Snow? And what will she say to him? Will she tell him the whole truth?

Please review and tell me what you think.

Thank you. Have a very good day!

:D
