Disclaimer: I own nothing pertaining to the Tuck Everlasting movie or the Tuck Everlasting book.
AN/ My first Tuck Everlasting story! I think this story is going to be based off of both the book and the movie. But mostly off of the movie. I recently finished the book. I'd already seen the movie and never even heard of Tuck Everlasting as far as I can remember. But several people have said that they like the book better, so of course I wanted to read it. Compare them to each other. And I think that they are totally different! Only a few things are the same. Which one do you like better? I'm not sure which one that I like better. Probably the movie. Anyway, here's the story! Enjoy! =D
Jessie Tuck meandered through the wood half expecting things to have changed, at least a little.
But with each twist or turn of the path, that he was presently following, he saw that nothing in the wood had changed at all.
A shocking testament considering the strange and modern world that buzzed about outside the peaceful, green palace of towering pines and large old oaks.
No, nothing had changed.
There were still toads, rabbits, deer, and other animals that had always seemed to light about the wood, even when Jessie and his family had first discovered the mysterious, creaking world.
Anticipation made Jessie quicken his pace as he walked along the dirt path.
Would she be there?
Would his world be forever altered by the young girl who had stolen his heart so many years ago?
"Winnie Foster." He murmured the familiar words slowly.
Doubt clouded his mind and he let out a nervous sigh.
Had it been wrong of him to tell her to go to the spring and drink the water?
No, he decided.
He loved her and she loved him.
She was the only person in the world who shared their secret.
And that fact alone forever made her an important part of their lives.
Even if they were a world apart, she knew that he was waiting.
Always there, never changing.
And he knew the same
Always holding on to the hope that she would be waiting for him too.
A smile tugged at his lips as he remembered her youthful laughter, her blue eyes, and gracefulness.
She had to be there.
He couldn't bear to think that she wasn't.
He had waited eighty years for her.
Anticipating the day that he would see her again.
Jessie knew the clearing-and the tree-would be around the next turn.
He took a deep breath and stepped into the clearing where he and Winnie had had their first encounter.
She sat on the edge of the spring, running her hand back and forth in the placid water.
She looked up and their eyes met.
Winnie had waited.
