and what I’d done. My heart cried
at the thought of not having you. My heart was driving me crazy.
Being so close to you and being unable to commingle my essence with
yours was making me insane.
I’d just about decided to take you by force
if necessary when you mother broke through and helped me to see my
own selfishness. She pointed out that I would never be free to love
you. That my sins would follow me for all the days of my life. That
in the end I would be the reason you died.
I walked away knowing that the pain I
suffered kept you alive and well. That means more to me than any
anguish that my heart can force on. When I saw you in the
restaurant the other day all I could of was how much of an amazing
man you had grown up to be. I am so proud to be your eternal heart.
Even though we will never have the opportunity to be together,
please know that I love you more than I have ever loved anything in
my life.
It is because of that love that I have gone
to Haiti and am having my heart removed. I have always been too
much of a coward to end this existence. I have enlisted the help of
a very powerful voodoo priestess. She is going to separate my body
from my heart.
You will know if she is successful because
for just a moment you will feel my heart touch yours and say
goodbye. Pau told me that you'd gone to Vegas to marry your
childhood sweetheart. Marry her and have lots of babies and be
happy. Do this for me so that my heart can find the peace in the
next life that I was unable to have in this one.
Forever yours Taini
XIX~~ Ulric’s Perspective
Days turned into weeks that turned into
months and my eternal heart’s heart never reached out to say
goodbye. I was depressed and mourning her loss. If not for
Seraphina constantly reminding me to eat and care for myself I
would have begun to waste away. I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, and I
certainly can’t work since I am barely functioning. I know that I
need to heal and move on but my heart just isn’t ready yet.
I looked over at my night stand and glanced
at her letter again. She lied in that letter. She told me she loved
me but she lied. If she had truly loved me she would never have
separated her heart from her body. She would have fought for me and
our love. I squeezed my eyes shut and felt a tear slip down my
cheek. I found myself reliving those awful day yet again.
I was sitting in my bedroom at my mother’s
house. I had Taini’s letter in my hand and was rubbing my thumb
over the paper trying to think of what I should do next.
Intellectually, I understood her concerns but the emotional side of
me just wanted my eternal heart, I didn’t care what it took or who
was after her. Hell I was perfectly fine with living our lives on
the run as long as I had a chance to be with her.
That’s when I felt it. Something inside of me
shifted and I was on full alert. I felt my eternal heart call out
to me across a great distance. I knew in that moment that I’d
hesitated too long and the choice was being taken away from me. My
own heart screamed in terror. We were losing our eternal heart and
didn’t have a clue on how to try to stop it.
I felt her heart brush up against mine and
though Taini had said she and would want to tell me goodbye instead
it felt as if she was begging me to help her. She looked at me with
sad, pained eyes and before we could even touch or speak she
disappeared. I felt my heart shatter. There’s no way to explain the
pain the exploded through me. It was as if my entire world ceased
to exist. For a few moments I was completely unable to breath. I
felt like my heart seized and my world went black.
When I woke up, Seraphina was administering
CPR. She said that I actually had a massive heart attack. It was a
miracle that I was alive. By all rights I should have died. Even
with my chupacabra mutation genes, my body was struggling to repair
itself. Honestly I am still having heart trouble. In fact, when I
think of Taini I can feel my blood pressure
at the thought of not having you. My heart was driving me crazy.
