She Who Was The Child Of A Volcano Part 3 /4
Folder:
She Who Was.... I hope you are eating this up
like a loaf of fresh baked bread.
Or you will ruin the whole thing
so don't you skip ahead!!!!
It's two full years later for Bonnie
this young woman of volcano-send
Who wants to leave a town that fears her
and find her happy end.
But it is still a week away
before Bonnie will turn nineteen.
And alas her dream of leaving
is still just that, a dream.
On this day came a man
his face was bloody and badly beaten.
and from a glance anyone could tell
It has been long since this man's eaten.
But the town doesn't like outsiders
and ignored him leaving him scared and alone.
Except for our dear and strange Bonnie.
who helped him limp into his home.
For three days she washed and fed him
while he told her tales of battle.
And in return she told him one
about the time she burned the village cattle.
He didn't quite believe her,
despite her tearful and true sounding cry.
But he also didn't think she 'd deceive him
and doubted she even knew how to lie.
She was happy that he half believed
and smiled, her beauty nearly blinding him
He said he instantly fell in love
but she thought that loving her was bad a sin.
He said he didn't care at all
and he asked her for her hand.
She said okay but she may change her mind
after beginning to know this little man.
He told her he couldn't stay here
that he would be leaving soon.
She was invited but had to show him
saying "meet me at the river by noon."
He showed up there with some doubt
but open to believe.
She thought of the people in town
and rolled up her sleeves.
Shr melted the rocks by his feet
then calmed and didn't dare meet his eyes.
Until he kissed her very hard and sweet on the mouth
making her start with surprise.
They would be leaving the next day, her birthday
but first she had to tell her father.
Hoping the volcano wouldn't over react
and begin a complete man slaughter.
She told him solemnly the next day
and hoped it would be an easy goodbye.
But for the first time in years he father spoke
screaming "Without you I shall die.."
He started to erupt angrily
