Chapter 6: The Story between the "Two"
Luciano looked up at Arianna in cold fear. She looked back with a small smile on her face but it soon turned into a frown. He gently held her hand. They walked down Classe's beautiful arched streets with the colorful buildings like they understood each other's feeling. Luciano looked down sadly at the cobbled streets sighed and pressed on. Arianna looked at Luciano touched the elegant sequins of her mask. But suddenly took them away realizing she was the powerful Duchessa and not the adventurous Arianna.
She couldn't handle it anymore. She blurted her feelings out. the memories still lingering in her head of the days when they use to be so playful and laugh for the fun of it.
"Luciano, what has happened to us?" She said looking at the man she once knew as if he knew the answer but, he never stuttered an answer. He just looked into her deep purple eyes as if the answer lay there. He held her hand a little tighter.
"Arianna, I love you. Why can't we be…together?" Luciano said. He sadly looked at the road ahead.
"Oh you silly duck. We are still together just not married. You see." She smiled a radiant smile leaning a little on Luciano. Luciano felt his heart come back to beating. He loved it, when Arianna's words made his heart jump with love.
"I…love you to Luciano. I just don't want anything to get in the way of our relationship. The Di Chimchi are still in reign and they are looking for any Stravaganti to capture!" A small tear fell from her eye making the softest splash…
-5 years ago-
"Oh, Luciano! We are here! Beautiful Bellezza! Oh, we can finally be free to love each other forever!" Arianna laughed twirling her mask around her finger. She took Luciano's hands and started to dance around. But, suddenly the guards came in. They pulled Luciano away from Arianna.
"He is fine, my guards. He is going to be my beloved Duke. Please leave." The guards blinked in surprise and shoveled out the door. She laughed. Then, it was Luciano's turn.
"Oh, Arianna. I love you so…much. You are my love and always will be. You are my glorious love. Oh, Arianna, oh Arianna." He laughed. Then, he laid on the grassy plain looking at the stars. Arianna too, laid down and pointed to a shooting star. They silently pointed out constellations until they bade to rest.
Oh how sweet?
Violetta looked around…Giuditta was out of sight. Then, she saw a small figure in the distance running her way. She turned to see Giuditta sitting on a beautiful sliver fountain's edge. But, suddenly she went diving into the cobble stones as someone fell over her. Pain spread through out her body. Giuditta came to running to her. But, before anything could happen. A man her age was lending her a hand and helping her up.
"I'm terrible sorry miss. I must be watching where I go. I am so sorry. Oh, my you have a cut on the palm of your hand. I'm sorry." He said stuttering.
"It's alright it's just a little cut. It will be fine in a day or so." Violetta smiled. She finally had her first collusion with the citizens here, or should she say second.
"Oh, miss I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I was just carrying these books and I just couldn't see where I was going. By the way my name is Giovanni. What's yours. My pretty dearest?" He smiled wide. Giuditta covered her mouth from a small smile.
"Violetta. I must be going now. I have business to do." She smiled. Giuditta ushered her along. Once, they were out of sight.
"Well, I feel quite broken, but I am quite alright." Violetta said. Laughing as Giuditta just kept on smiling.
