Chapter 10

"Heroes"

He gave her a quizzical look. Her straight forwardness startled him. He expected some sort of surprise on her face, but it was if the subject of love had never came up. Erik stood and asked:

"What?" Erik asked after a moments time.

"I probably should not have been so honest but I felt I should speak my mind. After all you are to much of a gentlemen to tell me what is on your mind. So if I did not we would be having this awkward voice lesson ritual forever." Erik was still silent.

"Lizzie I…I'm…,"He cleared his throat and continued. "I never suspected…that you…"

"Erik, relax. I was also trying to prove my point, that someone is capable of loving you." Lizzie was silent but then asked:

"Can you tell me that you do not feel the same as I? Can you tell me that you do not feel something?" Erik thought about the question she was asking. 'Of course I love her. But is it really her I love or her mother?'

"Lizzie I cannot lie to you. I cannot say I haven't felt anything for you. But Lizzie…your engaged. Your marring another man, it could never work out between us."

"But true love triumphs all."

"Whose to say this is true love. It could simply be an infatuation." Erik said cynically.

"But Erik I don't feel…obsession, I feel love. Real love, love that changes people. Love that can last through all hardships." Lizzie realized what she had just said and tried to resolve the situation. "Forgive me. I must sound so naive." She said slightly blushing.

"No, you sound…honest." Lizzie grinned, and her flushed faded. Erik stepped forward towards Lizzie, and she mimicked. He rested his hand on the small of her back and gently pushed her closer to him. There lips met and at first they were both apprehensive but then they quickly grew used to each other touch. The kiss stayed light, but yet some how still so passionate. They parted, Lizzie slightly blushed but it was barley noticeable.

"My father will be worried." Lizzie said slightly trembling

"Yes." Lizzie nodded and walked towards the passageway.

"Will I see you tomorrow then?"

"Yes, of coarse."

"Good." A smile rose to both of their faces. "Till Tomorrow then."

"Till Then." As Lizzie stepped into the passageway, she touched her lips. They still tingled from his contact. Her beam widened as she continued in the darkness.

Heroes

By:David Bowie

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day
