Memories of a Forgotten Childhood
Part 12
Disclaimer: I own none of the songs or the charries except Kite and Zack
Erik held Christine tightly in his arms as he walked her to the carriage. No words were spoken between the couple for there were none to describe the feeling each had. Christine had been so frightened that Erik was never going to come and now having him here was more like a dream come true. Erik felt his heart melting as his wife kissed him softly on the lips. Slowly he placed her slumbering body next to him and awaited his friends.
I set out on the
narrow way
Many years ago,
Hoping I would find true love
Along
the broken road.
I got lost a time or two,
Wiped my brow, kept
pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to
you.
Zack watched and waited as Kite went inside the mansion. Tears were forcing their way out of him. Had he only known that he would loose her to this! Fate was cruel and if this was how it had to end then so be it.
Every long lost
dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were
like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving
arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken
road
That led me straight to you
Kite walked into the foyer not once looking back to glance over to Zack. She could never look back not even to see him cry. Longing for freedom built up in her heart and she closed her eyes and let the memories of her forgotten childhood come back.
FLASH BACK
It was a cold and rainy night; a mother's cries could be heard as she brought a new life into this world. Young Kite sat waiting in her bedroom, hoping that her new baby brother would be her best friend. Hours passed and there was no soft cry of the baby. Instead Kite heard her mother sobbing for God to give her baby back to her.
Soon the maid took Kite outside and began to beat her for making her mother lose the baby. Kite's screams could be heard from miles around and with each cutting slap of the leather whip blood seeped out.
I think about the
years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I
lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my
hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a
grander plan that is coming true
Could life get any worse for little Kite? Luckily there was another child in the same womb and this one survived. Kite was hugged and kissed many times that morning. The sun beamed out and a rainbow appeared in the sky. Kite went outside to chase it trying to find the treasure on the other side. "I'm coming!" she would cry out. Her mother nursed her little brother Derek and smiled at her daughter, tears blinding her. Indeed life was going good.
Why are there so
many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows
are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to
hide.
Kite walked on through the mansion though tears threatened to fall down, they refused to show themselves. Why was the coward hiding? She pondered this until he showed up and Kite stood her ground. Kite extended her hand and dropped a ring to the ground. "My answer was and will always be the same Raoul, NO! I will not marry you. I do not love you." With those words said she left him, but not before throwing a sharp blade into his side.
So we've been
told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and
see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers,
the dreamers and me.
Someday we'll
find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
Outside the mansion two lovers held each other in a warm embrace. Christine's right hand was on Erik's chest and her left around his neck. Erik's left hand fingers were tangled in Christine's hair and his right hand was around her waist.
Zack waited for Kite to come for him. Time passed and still Kite did not come. When the midnight hour rang, he gave up all hope and walked back to the carriage. Once inside he fell asleep. Erik looked out the window and there was Kite running to join them. Erik let her inside and she slept beside Zack. Erik got into the front of the carriage and drove off. Leaving the empty mansion for the last time, little did he know someone was watching him and this someone was angry.
