Port Royal
The house was quiet, as it was just after midnight and everyone was asleep. I opened the door a crack and peered into the hall, then stepped out, closing the door behind me as quietly aspossible. I glided through the house like in a dream, and out the front door.
I shivered as a blast of cold wind whipped my nightgown around my legs, but kept walking. Somehow I knew exactly where I was going. I looked up at the rocky cliff that overlooked thebay. I was drawn to it, it called me. I didn't even notice I was walking towards it until I got there.
Standing on the edge, with my toes over the side, I let the night air blow my long hair behind me. It was a miraculous feeling, like I was flying. I imagined I was soaring above the world.
Free.
I closed my eyes and stepped back from the cliff. I imagined myself in a beautiful ballroom, wearing a stunning midnight dress, twirling around the room.
I felt strong arms wrap around my waist and frowned. My dream seemed so real.
My silent partner turned me to face him, though the shadow hid his face, I knew who it was. We danced in the moonlight for what seemed like hours, not making a sound as we waltzed.
He lifted me up and brought me down slowly, and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Remember me, Annabelle. Love me forever as I you." He whispered against my lips.
Then he kissed me.
All at once a million Images rushed through my mind. I broke away breathing hard.
"Annabelle..?"
I looked up into the warm liquid eyes I knew so well.
"Will…"
