A/N Based on the Arther Schniztel novella Fraulein Else which has been turned into a marvelous play written and starring Francesca Faridnay, this is Dosdorf's mind around the time that he tells Else that she needs to pay him for what he's doing.
She was so beautiful, there's something about her, there's something so wonderful about that breathtaking young woman. I've wanted her since I first laid eyes on her, so very long ago. A long friend of her family, I've known her since she was so very little, and I've loved her since. I've loved her for years now, and it's the best feeling in the world knowing that I love her, knowing that she's here next to me, that she's here right by me. Knowing that she's so close to me, and yet at the same time so far away is torture.
But I have y way for her now, and I've even told her as much, I know what I want form her, and I know how to get it, she wants money, I want her. I want to see her in all of her great beauty, I want to see the way she looks bathed in moonlight, or bathed in the light of my room, looking ever so much more glamorous. She'll look so gorgeous in the moonlight of the meadow; the blue from the morning glories and the purple from the lavender will highlight her beauty so well.
I don't want to seem like a blackmailer, but everything does have its price. Everything in the world, even this. I want to be able to see her the way I've pictured in my dreams for ages, the way I've seen her nearly every night when I fall asleep, the way I've seen her, the way I've dreamed of her. But what are dreams other than an alternate reality. I've had her so many times in my alternate reality; I've had her in every way imaginable.
It's such a small sum, but I can make it seem like a lot, I can make it seem like it's the last little bit I have left, even though she knows differently. She knows I have money, but she knows all the times that I've helped her family out before, she knows the times that I've bailed her deadbeat father out of jail. That poor man can't do anything right, even though he's one of Austria's best lawyers, but he's always loosing them money, I really do feel sorry for her, she's so high spirited, she's so upbeat but she's forced with that brutish, horrible man.
I don't know how she can stand it. Just earlier I heard her going on about how he should die, or she should, because it was so repetitive. I'd hate to see her die, it would kill me to see her die, because I love her so much, I love her more than one could possible imagine, it's something that just envelopes me, she's a beautiful angel, she's a gorgeous girl, with such a wonderful, witty, charming, edgy personality. She's one of the greatest women I have ever known, you can have a conversation with her, she's not the type of girl that only sits quietly and does nothing. No, she's always flitting around and doing things, she's always speaking her mind.
And now I have my chance to have her, she's so beautiful, and now I get to see her the way I've only pictured her in my dreams, now I get to see her in a way I could have only imagined before today, today the greatest chance in the world fell into my lap, today, I got the best chance in the world. Everything in the world has it's price, and now I can't believe that I actually get something that I've wanted for so long in return. Yes, everything does have its price.
