This plot was inspired by a weird dream I had...I don't know why I dreamed of it but it mostly went like this. I filled in details here and there to create a full story. Tell me if you think I should explore it? =D
Time Period: 18th Century France
Katrina is a poor peasant woman who can no longer support her daughter, Rosemary. She travels to the House of de Gaulle and asks the Mother of the House a favor. If Madame would be so kind as to take in her daughter to raise she would repay her. Madame refuses until Katrina says she would do anything. Madame decides to take Rosemary in if Katrina would work at the Tissu Usine. Katrina thanks her and leaves Rosemary in her care. She ends up being killed in an accident. Madame raises Rosemary as her own, giving her classes in art, music, literature, and other womanly ideals. When Rosemary turned three, everything changed. Madame had a daughter of her own, Sophia. Rosemary is cast aside, given to the care of Emily. Twelve years later, Rosemary finds out that Madame had basically killed her real mother. She begins to defy Madame and give her problems. Rosemary catches eye of Master of House. He chooses her as a mistress with Madame’s permission. Madame believes this will keep her in check. Rosemary is appalled and locks herself in her room. That night, Rosemary sneaks out of room for some food. Master of house finds her. She politely asks him to leave her alone. Master gets angry and drags her to her bedroom, where she is raped. Madame finds out about her disobedience calling her an ungrateful child, posts guards around room. William, one of the guards, becomes her caretaker. Eventually they fall in love and try to escape together. Both are caught due to Sophia’s jealousy. William is banished. Rosemary tries to find him. Year later they find each other, but William is married. Rosemary decides to leave France for good.
It might change here and there, but believe me when I say this, the dream was even more weird than the plot shows it to be. I went from being Rosemary to Sophia to Katrina to Madame to William (that was a weird one...) I know it's not my normal forte but I thought it interesting and want feedback on whether I should persue (spelling?) it or not. So should I?

My friend's work that I thought was really good
I thought this was amazing. My friend wrote this in about fifteen minutes! It's beautiful. =D
How fairest be thy darling love to me,
As the languid years forever go by,
There’s naught one besides you who is lovely,
And will stand next to me until I die:
How swift my heart doth beats in your favor,
Though long ago our hearts were juvenile,
Those beats speak’st my spirit naught to waiver,
For thy heart has been mine all the while:
When thou art away from me, out of sight,
My infatuated wits still find you,
When I have departed in sleep for the night,
Mine eyes perceive the visage that is you:
My love in thy bosom forever yours,
Shall accompany you on sandy shores
It's the same imitation exercise that I had to do, but she did hers on a Shakespearean (sp?) sonnet.
How fairest be thy darling love to me,

Little thing we did in AP English
Original: Give me strength to face the truth
The doubt within my soul
No longer I can justify
The bloodshed in his name
Is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose?
Pray with me so I will find the gate to Heaven's door
I believed it would justify the means
It had a hold over me
Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
Here is the darkest side of me
(Forgive me my sins)
The veil of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(Forgive me my sins)
Pray for me 'cause I have lost my faith in holy wars
Is paradise denied to me 'cause I can't take no more?
Has darkness taken over me
Consumed my mortal soul?
All my virtues sacrificed
Can Heaven be so cruel?
I believed it would justify the means
It had a hold over me
(Forgive me my sins)
Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
Here is the darkest side of me
(Forgive me my sins)
The veil of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(Forgive me my sins)
I'm hoping, I'm praying
I won't get lost between two worlds
For all I've seen,
The truth lies in between
Give me the strength to face the wrong that I have done
Now that I know
The darkest side of me
How can blood be your salvation
And justify the pain
That we have caused throughout the times
Will I learn what's truly sacred
Will I redeem my soul
Will truth set me free
(Forgive me my sins)
Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
Here is the darkest side of me
(Forgive me my sins)
The veil of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(Forgive me my sins) ~ Within Temptation “The Truth Beneath the Rose”
*Fun fact: this song was inspired by the DaVinci Code movie, hence the content of the song.*
Imitation:
Help me to understand
the violence in this world
My mind cannot comprehend this
meaningless bloodshed
Is it not sin to kill, to kill the innocent and guilty?
Pray for this world you and I live in, it is broken
(Can you hear me)
I dreamed a small dream called Utopia
It was a place filled with peace
Violence was no more
in this world of sanctity
Here we exist in harmony
(Can you hear me)
Will no one here my prayers
Will no one see my dream
Will this ever be
(Can you hear me)
Basically we had to take a passage and imitate it's style and literary concepts. Personally I like this better than the rewrite (had to make it happier). Strangely, my best work is normally sad or depressing. Don't know what that says about me but hey, what can I do? I chose this song because it relates personally to my inner struggle of my concept of God. I know I'm getting deep. I'll shut up now. I'll post something happy later on =D Maybe an excerpt from my fanfic! (which you should all read). I'll give the link once I update. People are yelling and complaining to me to update. I feel so bad...=(

Bored. Haven't updated in a while. So here.
Rain rain come this way.
Tear the power lines from the clay

Those Voices
"I know you. I've seen you in a dream; an old familiar scene from somewhere. And you know me; there's a glowing in your eyes, I know and recognize from somewhere..."
My room melts around me, allowing to be filled with darkness. I strain my eyes to see where I am, but I already know. I've been here a thousand times before. My eyes close as a small sliver of light appears. It lines the horizon at the far end, growing until it encompasses my whole being. I open my eyes, finding myself in an all too familiar and yet unfamiliar room. It's walls made of limestone, towering a hundred feet above me. Columns loom over me, being cast in the light of the moon. The imbedded jewels glinting a strange blue-gold color. Black and blue skies dotted by stars stretched for miles outside of my long and narrow window. The image of a woman suddenly appeared in my sight. A smile lit up my face as she walked toward me. I felt like a kid again; when the only thing I had to worry about were cooties and monsters under my bed. She stood a foot away from me, an unseen force holding her back. Her sun-kissed skin was illuminated by the moon, causing the kohl around her dark brown eyes to shimmer. Her red-dyed hair fell around her slender face as she leaned forward. She smiled at me, such a familiar and yet an unfamiliar sight. Another image appeared directly behind her. His figure stern, but gentle, while his green eyes swarm with such love. Slowly, the low hum of her voice filled my senses. Soon joined in by the harmony of her husband. It's tune so familiar, like a long, forgotten memory. My eyes begin to close. Their voices echoing in my mind as I drift off to dream of things forgotten...
"Those Voices reaching out. La la la la la..."
*The song at the beginning and end is by Darren Criss and is from A Very Potter Sequel. It is absolutely beautiful and sad (the song; the whole musical is just a riot =D)*
*Not my best work but it's 2 in the morning and I couldn't sleep. So sue me =P*

The Decision
So he and I packed, hoped into a car, and just drove. Not entirely sure where we were going. We drove for hours, both of us not complaining of the silence. By sunset, the Chesapeak Bay came into view. We stopped at a little white house. He was the first one to get out; I followed later. Our eyes scanned the horizon, taking in the beautiful hues. Soon his eyes landed on me. It was that same cold stare I've seen before. Uneasiness filled me as he waited for my next move. I was the one that brought us out here in the first place. My feet slowly take me to the back. I turned to look at him before descending the hill. The long narrow dock enters my view.
'Stacy.'
His voice pulls me in. I don't know why, I never met him. I stop right at the edge of the dock. The voice seemingly gone. I gaze out to the horizon waiting. Suddenly, an image of a man in a jacket and bow tie appears beside me. Yet, I can still see the sunset behind him. He stares at me with such sadness.
"Stacy."
I stare at him. His messy hair and green eyes registering deep in my subconcious. He cracks a cheeky smile before speaking.
"Stacy, it's me."
He tells me as if I should know him. But by my expression, he can tell I don't.
"It's me, the Doctor."
My stomach jerks at the mention of the Doctor. I turn back to the house. His gentle smile reaching my eyes. I turn back to the stranger who calls himself the Doctor.
"You are not the Doctor."
His eyebrows raise at this as I turn back to the bay. He comes closer to me. His hand softly touches my skin.
"Stacy, I am the Doctor. Look into my eyes."
Reluctantly, I turn to face him. His green eyes seem to penetrate my soul as if he has known me since birth. I flinch from the emotion and turn back to the horizon.
"Stacy, none of this is real. It's just a dream...a nightmare."
"You're lying."
"You know that's not true."
I close my eyes, not wanting the tears to spill. Deep down I always knew all of this was a dream. I never wanted to admit it to myself. My voice came out in a whisper.
"You promised me, you would never change."
"Only in appearance. I'm still the Doctor."
The reverance in his voice made me cry. My voice came out in choked sobs.
"I have what I always wanted, a life with you. If this is a dream, or even a nightmare, I never want to wake up."
I look back out to the bay, not wanting to look him in the eye. Pink and purple cotton candy clouds lined the sky. I could barely hear his voice when he spoke again.
"That's not an option."
I refused to ask because I was afraid to know. But the Doctor knows me too well.
"You're slowly dying. The longer you stay in this nightmare, the closer you come to death."
"I don't care."
He came closer to me. His body pressed against mine. Our heart beats making a funny rhythm. His breath tickling my ear.
"I do."
His reply sent shivers down my spine. I turned to him, surprised I could even speak.
"But I can't lose him again."
His hand caressed my face catching a falling tear. A tiny smile etched onto his face.
"You're not losing him."
I turned to face him. His green eyes so understanding. I was afraid of my decision, but I trust the Doctor with my life.
"What do I have to do?"
His eyes widened in shock before filling with such despair. That same despair gripped me before I knew what was going to happen. My stomach jerked in anticipation and fear.
"You have to kill him."
I was in such utter shock that my knees collapsed beneath me. His arms wrapped around me before I fell. He lowered me gently to the floor. My mouth was so dry I couldn't speak. I just cried. He just held me so gently, like he used to do. Slowly I calmed, but I couldn't stop the tears.
"You can't ask me to do it. I can't. I just can't."
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, but you're the only one able to do it."
My eyes stray toward the little white house. His blue suit jacket lazily swaying in the breeze. He stares at me with sorrowful eyes, as if he knows. But he knows everything, he's the Doctor...my Doctor. A ball forms in my throat as I choke back my tears. My face turns to the ground.
"But I love him."
"I know, but it isn't him. It never was and it never will be."
My tears won't stop. His arms wrap around me in an embrace. Time passed slowly making seconds into minutes and minutes into hours. He gives me a smile and helps me to my feet. I stare at him, my whole body hollow. His hand readjusts his bow tie before being held out to me. I caustiously take it. Our hands touched and I could feel the old spark between us. The thing that brought us together in the first place so many years ago. A smile graces my lips as I look at him. Slowly he disappears from view and I'm alone on the dock. I look upon the hill; the same hollow feeling re-emerges in my chest as I ascend.

January 27, 2010
The dream last night had seemed so real...
The crystallized droplets fall from the sky. Little flakes dance in the endless gray sky above me. I tilt my head back to feel their icy touch. Softly, they drop to the ground around my feet. The flakes fall on my face giving me tiny frozen kisses. Everything is so peaceful in this valley. My head falls back to its previous position.
I scan the snow covered valley. The trees are lined with virgin snow creating white skeletons against a gray backdrop. My eyes close allowing my other senses to roam free. In the distance, I can hear a sad, sweet tune. I allow myself to be overcome with the melody. Tears well-up in my lashes before freezing as they drop to the ground. My eyes open and blink away the stray tears. Slowly, I make my way towards the voice.
As I walk, the snow plays at my feet. Gradually, it encompasses me in a curtain of flurries. My hairs billows in the wind. The voice steadily becomes louder, such a sad, sweet tune. Tears nip at my lashes again before I force them back down.
Soon I find myself on the outskirts of a frozen lake. Beside me I notice a young woman atop a rock. She seemed so sad. Why was she so sad? She kept singing her sad, sweet tune.
I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with your grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe…1
Her words echo in my head. More tears form in my eyes but this time I let them fall. The young woman turns her head in my direction. Her beautiful green eyes were brimmed with tears. She stopped crying, her blue lips curling into a smile. Carefully, she makes her way to me. I’m not frightened as she embraces me. I smile despite myself. She seems so familiar. I feel safe in her embrace, I never want to leave.
She reads my expression and laughs. It was like tiny bells had rung at a church service. I laugh along, alto and soprano in perfect harmony. Her hand gently touches my cheek. She’s so cold.
“My darling child,” she sighs.
The young woman takes my hand and traces the lines. She digs into her pocket and pulls out a small, heart-shaped locket. The gold was cool against my skin as she places it in my hand. She curls my fingers around it before kissing my forehead. I open it to reveal a tiny picture of the young woman and a young man leaning towards each other. Both leaning in for a kiss but not making it in time before the picture took. In the middle was a small child with bleach-blonde pigtails and jewel-blue eyes staring up at the young couple. Her little arm extended toward the sky to reach her parents. Such happiness in one little picture.
“I am so proud of you,” the young woman whispers.
She embraces me once more before I find my self in my room curled up in my bed. I look around to see where she went. No one is here but me. I stare out my window. The moon radiates off of the freshly fallen snow. My eyes fall upon a small glimmer of gold on top my nightstand. I reach and pull a small, heart-shaped locket. The dream flows through my memory like a river. Or was it a dream? I open the locket and stare at the same tiny picture within. A smile forms on my lips before I place the locket back on my nightstand and cuddle into my warm bed. Slowly, I drift back to sleep hoping to see my mother once more.
