Marooned Love
'Did you ever thought of me?'
I remember the days of living here... Cold and forsaken.. Ever since the death of my friends and family... I have been alone. This life on a rock by the sea was a slow death.
Even betrayed, I still remember that day... When we met, for the first time..
It was a warm summer day... still by myself. I heard paddling and splashes.. I looked around... "Nothing.. just a mirage", I thought, "I guess I've been too alone.." But then, I heard a voice, "Who's there!" I yelled as I stood up. A little boy in a sailor hat gasped. I slowly walked over to him, "Hey! Are you lost or something?" The little boy stared at me with his eyes tearing up. I quickly crouched down in front of him, "Hey it's okay... I won't bite," Then I remembered that I was a vampire, but still.. he's a kid. The boy gasped as he saw the fangs in my mouth. "Uh oh.." I said as I tried to figure out how to calm him down, "Do you want to uh.. hear a story?" He nodded and sat on the floor. I told him a story of the misunderstood vampire princess. He was definitively interested in that, but how will I quench his thirst for more stories? "Hey kid! What's your name?"
".. Nick..."
"Oh... well my name is Villi.. So why did you come here and how old are you anyway?"
"I'm just six... I came here to find an uncharted island!"
"Well, this isn't cool kid... Seriously, there can't be any other islands around here except this one.. This is not an island.."
"Why?"
"Well... this place is just a big rock in the sea... Plus, it's not 'real', you know why? To ward off little kids like you!"
"Well... I really enjoy this island.."
"Why?"
"Because you're here.."
---9 YEARS LATER---
"Ugh.. you're back?" Villi complained.
"Well, of course I am!" Nick responded as he sat next to Villi holding a flower.
"Tomorrow is your birthday.. Not just any birthday.. your 15th one.. That's the time you have to figure what you're gonna do with your life."
"I'm not really sure, Villi. Plus, I enjoy to be with you."
"No you don't! You're young! You need explore the world!!"
"Well, I do want to, but.."
"But what? Don't you remember that passion you had when you were little, to find uncharted islands!"
"It's not that simple anymore though.."
"Why not?"
"Because of you."
"Me?" Villi sighed,"You know what.. I don't think you do love me... Why? Well because I've been around for centuries already!"
"But yet, you're still just sixteen.."
"I'm more mature than you at least.."
"No you're not! I'm mature to at least go to my dream!"
"What is your dream, again?"
"Living with you!"
"Since I age so slow, don't you think you'll be an old man and I'll be still young? Doesn't that make you worried?"
"Of course not! Being with you is the best!"
"I don't know.."
"Just.. let me decide on my own.."
"Fine, but any decision you decide on.. please visit me at least once in the future?"
"Deal!"
----Two days later----
"Yeah fifteen year old! Did you decide yet?" yelled Villi, laying on the floor looking at clouds.
"Villi?"
"What's wrong? Your tone.." Villi got up.
"I've decided that my place is to the sea.."
"So you're becoming your childhood dream huh?"
"..Yeah.."
"I'm very proud of you.. When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow... today is my last day.."
"Wow.. tomorrow? Shouldn't you be packing?"
"The funny thing is that I don't have much to pack, but I have so much to leave behind..."
"Yeah... Martha at the school house.."
"Not her or my family... It's you that I'm going to be leaving behind!" Nick grabbed Villi's hand, "I wish.. that you could come too..."
Villi frees her hands from Nick's and turns from him, "You know that's not possible... I'm cursed to be here forever.."
"If you feel that... them let us have one day together..."
"Okay.."
"I remember when I met you.." Nick sat down, "You were an angry teen!"
Villi sat next to Nick, "You were a cute little boy."
---Few hours later---
"Villi?"
"Hmm?"
"I think I'll give you this as something for you to remember me by," Nick took out a seashell necklace, "I made it for you."
"That's very thoughtful, but I don't need anything to remember you by because... You'll always be on my mind and in my heart.."
"I guess I can throw into the ocean," Nick made a throwing motion.
"NO!" Villi grabbed his hand.
"So you really care?" he hands her the necklace.
Villi blushes, "Well... you did make it.."
Nick smiles, "Let me put it on you," Nick puts it on Villi's neck, "You look cute in it!"
"Oh so I don't look beautiful in it?"
Nick laughs, "You always look beautiful." Nick looks at the sky and notices a sunset. He reaches over to Villi and kisses her...
---Next day---
They wake up at the same time. Villi blushes, "I want to give you this necklace, so you'll remember me by," she take a purple stone attached a red string from her pocket.
"I couldn't take this... You got this when you were born.."
"It's a trade... You gave me a necklace and I give a necklace... Now we're connected."
"That's not right... this is precious to you!"
"But not as precious as you are..."
Nick sighed, "I guess it's your choice.."
"Promise me two things.."
"Sure.."
"Visit me at least once, and I'll be happy."
"I can do that."
"Give that necklace to the one you love the most in the future..."
"I don't understand...?"
"Hey! Isn't it time for you to go?"
"You're right!!" Nick ran around picking up hid stuff.
"Good bye Nick..."
"See ya Vill!" Nick ran to the port.
"I'll miss you...."
-------
"I never saw him again," Villi whispered.
"A purple gem?" asked Last.
