Chapter 7: A Natural Life very very short chapter…sorry

That night couldn’t have come any quicker. He had wanted us to go back to the place where the gun accident had occurred. He promised me that everything would be ok, and I so I believed him. We walked through the woods hand in hand, back to the same billowing willow tree as the night before. I threw out a blanket on the ground and we lied side by side staring up at the stars. He looked over at me.
“What’s that!” he said pointing to the grove of willow trees.
‘What? I don’t see anything!”
“I do! Let’s go see!” We got up and I walked over to where he had pointed.
“Demetrious! You dumbass! There’s nothing here but another tree!”
“C’mon!”
“Huh!” He grabbed my hand and led me to what seemed to be a cliff. He was running, dragging me up it. “Slow down!” Soon after he stopped.
“Go have a look,” he said smiling. I rolled my eyes and walked towards the edge, looking over. Thousands of bright blue and black butterflies fluttered across a humongous flowered orchard. There was so many, that they appeared as like an ocean. I stared in amazement. Before I could say anything, he took my hand again and led me down a pathway that led to the bottom of the cliff. We ran through the ocean swarm of butterflies sending them into a fluttering panic. He huffed lightly. “How did you know about this!” I asked curiously.
“Every year, the butterflies gather to mate with one another.” I watched in amazement as the butterflies timidly began to swarm back over to us. What he did next was a complete and utter surprise. He handed me a flower that he had just picked then had dropped down to one knee. I gasped, covering my mouth and staring at him.
“Demetrious…” He pulled out a small, rounded rectangular, black box. “Demetrious…” He opened it up to expose and small but extremely beautiful diamond ring. My eyes welled up with tears.
“Kitara…will you marry me?” I stared at him for a while sobbing, then nodded vigorously.
“Yes…yes of course I will!” He took my left hand and slid the ring onto my finger.
“A perfect fit…” he said getting up then embracing me and kissing me. He took my hand once again and we went on our way back to the cave.
We decided to get married as soon as possible. Our plans were to get married of course privately in a matter of a few days, then get as far away as possible. Sadly, we gathered up
all our belongings and packed them back onto Demetrious’ motorcycle. This place was strangely like my home. So many wonderful and not so wonderful things had happened there. The first time a man had told me he loved me, my ‘first time’, many happy memories, and some tough times. Possibly the best of my life had happened here and was being left behind so easily. But I realized that we were moving on to start a better life and happier life.
