SILVER-HEART

I’m a distraction to William, he was an important figure in history that kept the knowledge of the entire universe balanced... there was so much to be done and yet I was causing a distraction to him?

I pulled my knees to my chest, maybe I am... a distraction to William’s life. He has done so much for me even though he didn’t do them directly sometimes but I could proudly say he has done enough. He sheltered me and he sealed the power of my voice so that I could speak, sealed the power of my eyes so that I would gaze upon him and he also taught me a very important lesson in life. He also saved my life when I thought I would be burnt to death by my own aura... so much and yet...

If only there was something I could do for him too... but I wasn’t so sure there was ANYTHING at all.

I buried my face on my knees feeling downhearted and like a nuisance, it was hard to shrug this feeling off for it hurts but it was nothing but the truth, I was too dumb to see it. All my life I have either been a curse or an omen but now I was a nuisance for something great and yet I was a bride to him.

I raised my head, a bride... I quickly crawled out of bed and rushed to the majestic mirror close to the window. I stared at myself, the last time I let myself gaze upon the mirror and hate what I saw was back in the mortal realm, I was a total skeleton... hair that looked like the skin of a rat, pale skin like I was sickler and my eyes were dull with no life and no feeling to it... but now what I saw was completely different...

I stood with attractive wavy brown hair stopping at waist length, a light brown color, silky and smooth as I ran my hand through it, and flawless, brown eyes full of life, and my skin was not overly pale but had a little color to it. I was purely alive and it has all happened ever since I came here, this place wasn’t my doom but a blessing.

A smile found my lips too, William was my salvation too... he was the reason I still got to exist in this world, he was the only light I have... and the thought of being just a nuisance to him hurts me so deep that I felt like crying, my fist clenched on my nightgown. I want to be more than a nuisance to him. I don’t want to be the girl who was in desperate need of help in everything...

I want to support him as best as I can and be good to him, it was the least I could do. No, I shake my head, it is what I WANT to do. I have never had a purpose in life, I never thought the need to for I have never given much thought to my life before, but all that has changed for I need no longer long for death to take me but instead embrace life as William taught me, I want to be better, I want to build myself, half of my life I was never given the option to... But now I can do something.

I’m his bride and I shall become such and maybe more.

I heard the door spread open and I turned to it, my hair waving backward as I did. William walked through the doors just as I last saw him this morning, but he no longer had the bed hair. The moment he sauntered in and set his eyes on me I saw a greater light for my new purpose.

"Good evening, William," I said as a blush tainted my cheeks.
