Adrienne

Heighten hearing, sight, and sound make this moment as specular as it should be. It is perfect; it is how it should be. Liam has finally grown the courage to truly get back the woman his heart desires. They belong together, we all do. I'll patiently wait to share the good news with him; he did not attack her. As their lips are about to meet deep inside it feels like home. This is picture-perfect and like a dream that could go on forever. The sunlight behind them sets the warming tone for this scene before me. The glare from the sun seems to be approaching them interrupting this fairytale. Only it isn't the sun it's a missile of some type.

"Liam watch out!"

Ouch, pain grips my body as it is slammed against the nearby rock. The bones in my neck give way in tears into two. Breath seems as if it has left me I'm drowning from the inside out. I'll push the alert button and call for help. Wait, no my body isn't moving. My brain isn't strong enough to force my body to move.

"Ut Help, h- help!" I desperately squeak out through gripping pain.

No one hears me, the sound of my voice travels in my head but not through my windpipes. It's hopeless. Explosions around me have caused the beautiful crisp blue sky to be tangled with colors of orange, red, black, and gray. Oh no, my arm is limp from being crushed into the mighty rock that sits on the beach. Legs rush toward me kicking the sand out of the way, it's my darling husband. It's all fading, the site of the sky, the water, the sand with me powerless to stop it.

"Adrienne, Adrienne!" 

My honey's cries are very loud; my hearing has not failed me. I've heard about temporary death but this is my first time actually experiencing it.

"Adrienne! Let's get her out of here, Ever, jump on my back now!" 

My body is being lifted off the ground by my big strong ox of a husband. How I admire being in his arms in life and now in the death that is consuming me, only it will not succeed. Whoa, what was that? Another explosion. It must have been a strong blast because he has let go of me and I'm forced to face the white sand on the ground. My body being picked up again just as quickly as it fell.

Adrienne

The room is oddly quiet but It's expected. Everything from the fancy lighting, the way she lays her body over the chaise waiting for praise, to the way Liam quietly stands behind her with that look of curiosity in his eyes.

"Adrienne, Michael, and Edison we were expecting you. Fine choice in armor bearers Adrienne. Please have a seat across from me."

Good, Michael and Edison keep their stand at my sides, yes a fine choice indeed.

Liam stares at us as if he hasn't seen us in years. He looks odd among them.

"I came to check on my husband and ask you to return him."

"As you can see he is fine. If that is all, goodbye."

"No, you will not dismiss me Lovely. I want to talk to him alone."

"I'm sorry Adrienne but I will not allow you to corrupt his mind with your strange beliefs. Liam, come here and kiss your queen."

He's going to obey her in front of me and cause the feeling of a thousand spears cast into my heart. This odd feeling, the smirks on their faces. 

She made him forget us.

Please tell me she did not.

"Ari, have a seat, and don't let her get to you."

"Get your hand off me Edison. She—"

"Adrienne, stop. She's forcing him to kiss her because she knows that it will hurt you. Please sit back down. We are outnumbered remember."

"Michael's right. Breathe in and breathe out, you can do this."
