Subject: Chapter 2 Nightmares and Sweet dreams…
Her dream was like a nightmare that night.

Etoile was walking down the street with Aeric, laughing and talking as they shopped in an art fair by the river that ran by the city they lived in. Aeric was smiling and laughing, holding up an ugly, puce coloured sweatshirt up against himself. Etoile chuckled and placed a brown bowler hat with a red feather on his head, making him look even more ridiculous.


Aeric caught sight of a different shop, filled with stones cut into various shapes and styles. Slyly, he knelt before Etoile and offered her a gold ring with a diamond upon it. She smiled and moved to give him her hand, when a truck came speeding out of nowhere.


Suddenly, there was a crash, and Etoile was knocked unconscious. When she awoke she realized that she was in a church. Black banners were draped over pedestals and pews, and the cross before the alter had a crown of thorns pressed into its wooden sides.


There was a coffin, lid open to the public that streamed thru to look at it. As Etoile walked closer, she saw Aeric, face pale and eyes shut, in it, dressed in his Sunday best.


She stumbled closer…no, it can’t be…her heart told her, but her brain denied the hope that her heart had. It was definitely Aeric, the way his lips, now pale and still, always smiled. His light brown hair lay limp across his forehead, and his chest was still, no breath making it move.


Tears blocked Etoile’s eyes, streaming down her face. As she walked up to the coffin, the sobs shook her body, but nobody was there to comfort her now. Aeric, the only man who had ever understood her, had tamed her family, the man that she had…loved, was dead. Etoile knelt down over the coffin and brushed her lips against his cold, dry mouth.


She smoothed his hair and whispered into his ear, “I wish you weren’t dead…I never got to tell you that…that I love you…”
