Last time on Return to Me:
Picking up her vanity chair with a firm grip, she smashed the window into
tiny shards of glass. Dropping her bag out the window, she used her arm
wrapped in a towel to clear the sides of the shards so she could slip out
it. By the time Cornelia's father and Blank got into the room, Cornelia
had already slipped out the window and was running at full speed for the
boat docks.
Blank quickly scrambled out the window and started after Cornelia. She dropped her bag because it was slowing her down, but made sure to keep the bag of gil in her pocket. Blank got tripped up on the handles of the bag, but was still hot on Cornelia's tail. Blank quickly caught up with the Princess and tackled her to the ground.
Return to Me
Chapter VIII: Return to Me
Marcus stood at the boat dock along with Cinna. It was long past the hour that the two lovers were supposed to meet and depart on their new life together. Marcus carried with him a bag containing some clothes and some items they would need for the trip to where ever they were going. He only had two thousand gil in his pocket, he hopped that would be enough to get them started.
Cinna shook his head. He couldn't wait for Marcus any longer. His ship was suppose to set sail two hours ago, but because Marcus was his friend he waited and believed him when he said that his love would be coming. Cinna's crews were all yelling at him to get on the boat, they were going to miss an important deadline in delivering their passengers and cargo. Cinna placed his hand on Marcus' shoulder.
"The boat cannot wait any longer Marcus, we will depart with or without ye and your so called love." Cinna's hand slid from his friends shoulder as he turned around and headed for his boat. He lifted the large rope from the pier's holding steak and gave the signal to his boat's captain and they departed.
Marcus did nothing; just bowed his head in shame. He just could not accept the face that Cornelia wasn't coming. Cinna had exited the stage, portraying the ship leaving the port. Cornelia lay in her bed, Blank stood inside the room guarding the door. The clock chimed seven, the hour she was suppose to be gone over four hour over.
Marcus looked up into the sky as if he was looking for the answers there. A heavy sigh exited his mouth. He was heart broken and full of grief and worry over his lost love Cornelia. Could she really have betrayed him and not come today on purpose? Was she trying to save him by asking him to go? He worked up the courage to speak.
"Oh dear me, where is thy love Cornelia? The hour of our departure is long past. I do not understand her meaning of not coming? What has kept my love from meeting me here in the hour of this moron?" Marcus turned his back to the boat dock, clenching his fists at this own word. Slowly he let his fingers fall back down to a straight hand, easing his own pain from his own words.
"No, it was her fathers ways that kept her from coming. I should have stayed with her until the hour that the roaster crowed. Then we'd be guaranteed our new lasting life together. How can King Leo keep interfering with our plans, with our love? It's not right for them to keep medalling in the life we are trying to start together." Marcus world around quickly, looking up to the full moon that just crossed the set behind him.
"Oh torturous moon! Tell me why! Tell me where she is! Tell me all I want to know! Please grant me my one with and bring my beloved Garnet to me!"
With those last few words, who was thought to be Marcus was actually Zidane!
