Hold on to your seats, you guys. Snow and Eric will continue with having their 'memories'. We will find out if Queen Snow has told Eric the huntsman the truth or not.
I usually PM to readers who have an account, but the ones who don't have one, I will reply on here:
To Kamila: Yes, I completely got it. :) Thank you. And I am glad you are very interested in my story. :)
This is the continuation of the memories from Eric and Snow. What is written in the first part of the chapter, happened a couple of months before what is written in the second part of the chapter.
The beginning of this chapter will be a summary of what already happened centuries ago. But they were spread in different 'memories' (chapters).
While reading the chapter, you could listen to this: watch?v=pnClGfFXC3Q
After Snow visited Bevis, she went straight back to the palace. It was almost 7 PM, when she returned. The next day, she made sure that Eric the huntsman left her for good. She used the most cruel and harsh words to make him hate her. She had to do it; she had no choice. If he stayed and married her, he was surely going to die. She had to save him from death.
After hurting him, he too hurt her with cruel words. It was so hard for her not to tell him the truth, but thankfully she was able to. Those words he used hurt her like a dagger through her heart, but she couldn't tell him the truth! So he walked out of her life and she let him go.
With tears in her eyes, Snow ended up talking to the mirror. She took the mirror's advice and went to Alditha the witch for help. Snow was in Alditha's home; it was a very old cottage. It was small and uninviting. The moment she walked through the door, she had the urge to run away from this witch. But her legs were disobeying her. So out of nervousness she began to talk: " So you know who I am, Alditha?" The witch said:" Yes, you are Queen Snow." Snow nodded, because she wanted to make sure that the witch knew who she was and continued:" I am here, because 3 days ago I found out that I have no future with the man I love." Then the Queen told Alditha everything about what Bevis had seen and felt."Ravenna's mirror told me that you were a very powerful witch and that you could help me. Is that true?" Alditha looked the Queen in the eyes and answered:" Yes, that is true. But there are consequences my Queen. There are always consequences, when I use magic. You have to understand that."
Queen Snow sighed deeply and had a serious look on her face. After a couple of moments, she said:" Yes, I understand and I am willing to do whatever it takes to be with Eric." The witch nodded and said:" That's settled then; I am going to help you to be with Eric. This spell is very dangerous; an ancient magic is required."
The Queen then closed her eyes, opened them and let out a deep breath."How will I be reunited with my love? How will I be able to be with Eric? Will you alter the universe or the future, so I could be with him?" The Queen asked with a trembling voice. She was terrified and knew that Alditha couldn't alter anything, but she had to ask. The witch shook her head and answered:"No my Queen. I cannot alter anything. What I can do for you is this: You will be together with Eric. But not in this life. You will be with him in another life. In another lifetime."
When Queen Snow heard her say that, tears welled up in her eyes and her heart broke all over again." She grabbed Alditha by the shoulders and with desperation in her eyes she begged:" Please. Is there no other way? Can't I be with him in this lifetime? It hurts so much that I cannot be with him now." The Queen didn't care if she sounded desperate; the only thing that she wanted, was to be with her huntsman.
Alditha shook her head and answered:"I am sorry, my Queen. But this is the only way, I cannot alter the future. The only thing I can do, is give you and Eric a chance in another lifetime." Queen Snow broke down and cried. After she calmed down and with tears in her eyes, she said with a shaky voice:" Okay, if I cannot be with him in this life, then I have no choice. I will take it; I want to be with him. Even if it's not this one." Alditha nodded and asked once more with a serious tone in her voice:" Are you sure, my Queen? What you ask of me, is very dangerous and the consequences can be harsh. I can do it, because you requested it. But believe me when I say that it is NOT going to be that easy. You will encounter sorrow, heart ache and you will meet difficult obstacles in your other life. Are you willing to do ALL that for LOVE? For a man?" Queen Snow didn't even think and answered:" Yes, for him I am willing to do whatever it takes. What are the conditions?"
The witch answered:" I will use the magic I spoke of and use a powerful spell on you and Eric, but under one condition. If you see Eric even just once, the spell I had casted will not work. Not only that, if you see him again just even for a second… Eric will die. So in order for the spell to work, you have to make sure that you will never see him again in this life."
Queen Snow got a huge lump in her throat and sighed deeply. Then she shook her head and asked with a trembling voice:" But Why?" Alditha answered:" That is a condition, when doing the spell. It is not written why. The Queen was devastated, but she had no other choice. She wanted to be with Eric, even if it's in another lifetime, so with a heavy heart she agreed. " I will make sure, we never see each other again in this life." She whispered. "Alditha, you said that it's not going to be easy for me in that other lifetime. When we will meet in that lifetime, will we recognize each other?" Queen Snow asked.
Alditha answered:" That's what I meant by its not going to be easy. You will encounter sorrow, heart ache and you will meet difficult obstacles in your other life. Those are the consequences. And when you meet Eric, you will not recognize each other. Neither he nor you will remember this life, until you two meet in that life. Both of you will have memories of this life though. That can be very helpful, but both of you have to believe."
"It sounds very hard. With all the difficult obstacles Eric and I are going to face in our other lifetime, will we have a chance to be together?" The Queen asked worriedly. Alditha answered:" I said that it was not going to be easy, but I can guarantee that you do have a chance. You both should be willing to fight to be together though."
The Queen nodded in agreement and then asked calmly:" What do you want in return, Alditha?" The witch answered:" In return, I would like 200 pieces of gold and a piece of your land." The Queen agreed to it and said:" Done. You will receive what you asked for. Now cast that spell, so I can have a chance to be with my huntsman in another lifetime."
And so Alditha did what Queen Snow had asked…
Just as Eric was about to walk out, Bevis grabbed him. "The Queen has arrived." He said in a calm voice. When Bevis said those words, Eric's breath hitched in his throat. He didn't expect the person to be Queen Snow! He began to panic and wanted to run away, but he also wanted to run to her. But he just stood in one place, frozen at the spot. To Eric the room suddenly started to spin, but Bevis asked him to calm down.
When he had calmed down a little, Eric asked Bevis:" Can I see her now? Where is she? Where is Queen Snow?" Bevis sighed deeply and said with a sad voice:" She is here in the next room." Eric was about to walk into the other room, but Bevis grabbed him tightly. He shook his head and said:" You can't go there! You can't see her!" When Bevis said that, Eric got very angry and shouted:" Why? Why can't I just go and see her! I just need to see her." At the last sentence, tears welled up in eyes."I just need to see her, just see her." He muttered, while the tears escaped his eyes. Desperation was written all over his face. Bevis answered:" I am sorry, Eric. But she'll explain everything. But you have to stay in this room. Promise me that you will stay in here. I will leave the door slightly open." Eric promised, so Bevis walked away.
On the other side, the Queen had heard what Eric said. Her eyes also welled up, when he said that he just needed to see her. She then closed her eyes for a couple of seconds and said with a trembling voice:" I am here, Eric. I will tell you everything. I will tell you the whole truth. I will tell you why I had to marry William and why I had to let you go." At the last sentence, she broke down and cried. Eric wanted to go to her and comfort her, but he promised to stay in the room.
After she calmed down a bit, she started to tell him. She told him everything! She told him about her father's letter. That she went to Bevis. What Bevis saw in her future, if she married him. The reason why she let him go and going to the witch Alditha for help. She also told him the condition; that he will die if she sees him. Even if it was just for a second. She also told him everything what Alditha said.
After she told him everything, it became too much for Eric to take so he sank to the floor. Tears were rolling down his cheeks and he began to cry. He couldn't believe she did all that for him. Eric couldn't believe that she married another to prevent him from getting killed. She married another to save him from death. When he heard that they were going to have two daughters, he was happy. But when he heard that they were going to die in her arms, he sobbed. He couldn't believe that she went to a very powerful and dangerous witch, because she wanted to be with him. Even if it's in another lifetime.
Eric was still on the floor, when she asked softly:"Are you still there, Eric?" He got up and said sadly:"Yes, I am still here." They both closed their eyes and let their tears flow."There really wasn't another way?" he asked. She shook her head and whispered:"No, there really wasn't a better way." He placed his head in his hands and asked:" So what now, my Queen?"
She sighed deeply and said:" Come to the door." She had tears in her eyes and took two steps. She was at her side of the door and he also stood right in front of it. While her tears escaped her eyes, she asked:" Give me your hand, please." Bevis let the door slightly open, so they could hear each other when they were talking. Through the opening of the door they both searched for each other's hand. When their hands collided, they immediately intertwined their fingers. They both sobbed. After being apart for so long, it was almost too overwhelming to be able to touch each other's hands.
They held each other's hands tightly and never wanted to let go. It was then, when Bevis came back. He urgently said:" Sorry, my Queen. But you have to go now." She said:" I will be there in a minute, Bevis." While holding Eric's hand tightly, she whispered:"I have to go, now." He shook his head furiously and whispered:" I can't. I can't let you go. I just can't, my Queen." His voice broke near the end. She closed her eyes, held his hand tightly and promised:"Listen to me, Eric. Listen to me. The spell Alditha casted will work. I promise that we will be together one day. We will have kids and we will be happy. Even if it's in another lifetime. I promise you, that we will be together." They both cried uncontrollably."Do you believe me?" she asked. He nodded and whispered:" Yes, I do." She intertwined their fingers for the last time and she said:"
In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
She then kissed his hand softly and let go of it. He stood there, frozen. He couldn't believe what just happened. She then stormed out of the cottage without looking back and rode away on her white horse with tears in her eyes.
Snow and Eric were suddenly taken out of their thoughts, by a phone ringing loudly. She was still in Eric's arms and they looked each other deep in the eyes. Their fingers were still intertwined, like before they both had the memories. They couldn't believe what just happened, so he said:" You made a promise to me."
A/N again: Hey guys. What do you think of this chapter? How was it? Please review and tell me what you think.
Will they tell each other about the memories? And will Snow find her bag?
Who stole it though?
Thank you. Have a very good day!
