Thoughts of a Past
Note: These characters aren't mine, they belong to Tim Burton!!!
Chapter One
Sometimes I miss him, Ari admitted to herself. Sometimes I miss the way he holds me. The way he gazes into my eyes, like I'm the only thing that he cares about.
But then I think about how he hurt me, figuratively and literally. How he branded my hand with the mark that is not used anymore, and how he promised he would never turn his back on my beliefs if he was appointed as the General of the ape army. I almost let him out of the compartment he was trapped in, but he didn't deserve it, and I wonder what he would have done if I had. He would have killed Leo, and I could not accept that. It was better if I kept him in there, so he could never hurt somebody else.
I wonder why he still cared about me, after I felt so strongly about human rights. Wouldn't that disgust him? Or did he see past that, and straight into my heart. See that I would have never left him. He was the one who turned away. Away from me, and all I offered. I think I could never love him now...
And then I wonder if I could...
Sometimes I miss her, Thade admitted to himself. Sometimes I miss the way she smiles, how she brightens my day just turning up the corners of her mouth. Sometimes I miss the feel of her silken hair between my fingers, the way her body fit perfectly against mine when I wrapped my arms around her.
She promised me a lot of things. She promised she would never leave me. I promised the same things to her, but I broke my promises, all of them. I swore to her, if I became General, I wouldn't abuse the humans, the way some of the other Generals before me did. I couldn't help it. They were dirty, stupid and worthless, and it was their fault that we were apart. If it hadn't been for them, Ari would have been with me still. I would have married her, and raised our children. We could have been so happy if it had not been for them.
I convinced myself I branded her hand to seal my decision. The final outcome of that night had been so close to me giving in. How I wanted her. How I wanted to start anew with her. To make her smile like I had before. She was so beautiful, and I should have never have been so stupid to let her go. She was my soulmate. My one true love, and I hurt her so badly, for a while she wouldn't even look at me.
No wonder she treats me so coldly. For I was so cold to her. I still remember the look on her face when I told her what I planned to do with the humans. The tears that fell down her cheeks when I told her it was over. We couldn't be together, we were too different, and I couldn't dissapoint my father by giving the humans their own rights. To coexist with us. That is what I should have done. My father is gone now anyways, but so is she.
I wish she would forgive me, and take me back. Maybe I should try once again to break free of the prison and apoligize to her. I would do it a thousand times if she asked me to.
Now what should I do about this prison?
