Ashley's pov:

Melly dear Melly is gone. i broke down into sobs once more. i have never stopped crying for more than a minute. i miss her so. the funeral was terrible. this was the only night in my whole life that i was drunk. and when i mean drunk, it's drunk. i walked down the street the street Melly walked so many times before me. i finally stopped in front of a big house i continued up the walk. i tunned the handle surprisingly the door was unlocked. i walked into the house i knew so well. Scarlett was sleeping by the fire. in the library. he green eyes sprang open when i tripped on the rug. she stud up.

"Ashley,"

she greeted. i could tell she was a little started.

"Scarlett i love you so much"

"was i going insane ?" i needed someone tonight an Scarlett was the perfect victim. i started to advance towards her. she kept backing up. one slow step at a time she was startled i could tell. i saw that she was go0ing to scream i hurriedly took two big steps and put my mouth onto hers. she didn't like that very much. she was trying to get away. i was forcing my tung into her mouth. she tasted so good. then out of the blue she slapped my face as had as she could. i finally let go still having a hold onto her wrist. i put my hand up to my face to feel where she had slapped me. god it stung so bad.

Someone pulled me off of her. "Who in gods name would be here at this time of night." the man on i didn't know punched me into the face. He when over to the crying Scarlett. trying to sooth her. I took in my surroundings. trying to find out some way who this man was. I could see a dark shadow in the corner of the library. I could tell that the person had long hair. i had gotten up by now. I was going to try to leave the house without the man knowing i left. but as soon as i moved he was at my side.

"Mr. Wilkes if you come near her again you will be VERY sorry" the man let go of my shirt sleeve. the man had a very dark voice. it sounded like sandpaper rubbing across wood. he had a tone in his voice saying "don't mess with me". I wouldn't like to get into any kind of trouble with him. I quickly but slowly walked out of the house. down the street to my little home. my house was quiet now because i had sent Beu off to an all boy's school. he was to much like melly for me to keep him. anyway i wouldn't had been much of a father to him during this time.

Scarlett pov

I went home down as ever. maybe all this sleep i am not getting is taking it's toll on me. why would Rhett let Bonnie out of his sight. I was just seeing things from the way it looked. I was sitting in the library re thinking my day.

flashback

I had woken up to a face didn't know. i was in a room which only had a bed and a night table and a fire place in it. the fire was about to go out, I looked like a bed room house, and this was the one room. The woman walked into the door. holding fire wood she was a short little thing she didn'tlook over the age of 20. She had long wavy amber colored hair. Her eyes were hard to describe, they had a hint of brow and then blue. She finally looked up from the fire that she had been making.

"Miss, it is good to see you awake. i saw you when you fainted. i am Amber Smith."

"thank you very much i aam afraid i have been having dizzy spells for quite awhile now. Miss. Smith it is good to meet you. i am Mrs. Scarlett Butler, you can call me Scarlett."

"y-y-you are the wife of the great Captain Butler"

"yes i am afraid i am. you know my husband"

"no i have just herd of him. does he really as handsome as people describe him to be. with is dark hair and eyes..."

"yes he is. if i must say so myself...but don't tell anyone i said so."

"you must be wanting to be getting home"

"yes that would be nice."

standing by now. Amber walked me thought the back door.

"thank you so much ma'am please tell me if there is anything i can do to repay you."

"oh there is nothing you can do. you are only a couple of blocks from your house if you wait it will call a carriage."

she didn't look like she could a ford one.

"no i think so fresh air would do me good. thanks again Miss Smith"
