Here's the next one, from Lizzie's POV and very short. But that is why I posted two chapters. I hope you like it.
God, I had to do something, anything, I just couldn't allow her to be miserable for the rest of her life.
Mary saw herself completely different than others. Sure a few years ago she had been plain, some would have even said ugly, but she had grown up and by now she was a pretty girl. Different than the beauty of Jane or even mine, but she was. She just couldn't see it. Our mother wasn't helping either by telling her often that she was indeed still plain, just because she didn't look like the rest of us.
She could find someone way better than this Mr. Henceforth, when she just allowed herself to meet new people. When she would attend a ball looking like she had at Pemberley, she couldn't help herself with all the proposals she would receive.
But she was just as stubborn as I, she had set her mind on this marriage and no one could make her change her mind.
I had hoped by bringing the Earl up I could. Because for me it had been obvious that they had feelings for each other, why else would he come to Pemberley at least once a week, to spend hours and hours with Mary?
But the fact that he was engaged was shocking me, had I been so wrong about everything?
I left Mary's room determined to find her and talk some sense into her. She couldn't do this, I wouldn't allow it.
I walked downstairs when I heard voices, one was the voice of my mother and she seemed confused, the other was a familiar male voice. The person seemed furious.
I walked into the salon from which the voices were coming and there I saw the one person I had set all of my hope in.
The Earl of Suffolk.
"I guess you are looking for Mary." He whirled around and I was right, he was furious.
"Yes. Where can I find her?"
"I don't know for sure, she ran off." I answered, then I turned to my mother:
"Where did Mary go?"
"Towards the park." She replied obviously confused by the whole situation.
I didn't need to say any more because Mr. Howard was already storming out of the house. This could be interesting, maybe I had been right after all.
Short but it answers a lot of questions I got. Wait and see what happens when Mary and Henry meet again. Both enganged!
R&R PLEASE! Reviews are addicting! :D
