Very Important Note Concerning 'Bound to You'

I've done it.

I got a case of writer's block for 'Bound to You'. I don't know what caused it... I think it's just the stress of my life. I can't write on it.

Oh, I can still write! I even wrote an awesome story that I was thinking of publishing after 'Bound to you!' Two Actually.

If anything, I'm hoping writing on those two will help me.

I've been getting some pessimistic thoughts about my story... I'm worried it's too confusing, too many twists, my characters aren't good enough, my kissing experience (I've never been kissed...) is showing through my writing... I've been getting doubts.

I'm sorry to say people, but I can't write 'Bound to You' right now.... I'm going to have to postpone my story. I know how frustrated I got whenever another author did that and well.... now I'm doing it. I'm sooo sorry but...

I'm going to post my two other stories' summaries on here ('Deceiving Eyes' and 'If Only') and you guys can pick which one you want....

Once again, I'm sorry!

Synopsis:

'Deceiving Eyes'

Prologue

I'm not normal. Ok, you're probably thinking 'well, DUH, no one's exactly normal'! Well... when you're born the way I was and raised the way I was and TOLD the things I was... you'd be glad you are what you are.

Let me explain. My parents are the Emperor and Empress of Derane (derr-a-nuh). As you can guess, my dad needed an heir... and my mother was barren. Don't get me wrong, my parents had everything else anyone can wish for. My parents are beautiful, rich, and kind. My mom has beautiful dark brown hair and ocean blue eyes. My father has black hair and intense gray eyes. But they couldn't get something they wanted more than anything: a child.

At that point, my parents could've cared less if the child was a boy or a girl... or what all they had to give in order to have that child.

First, my mother took herbs, consulted other women in the village... and every night they tried again and again. One day, my mother actually did become with child... but two weeks later, she lost it. My father said he had never seen her more heartbroken than that day.

My mother became desperate... and so, my mother went to consult the medicine women.

You have to understand my village. The medicine women are very dangerous as they are much like witches... only they use their magic for the 'greater good'. But what they do is very dangerous... they give you all that you want... but what's the cost?

My mother went one day and told the 5 hags that she desperately wanted a child and she'd do anything.

The hags laughed in her face and then said, "Are you willing to sacrifice your own child for a child?"

My mother didn't understand. "I don't have a child..."

They cackled, "Very well. But do you understand what you are asking? Looking at you right now we can tell you that you are not meant to have a child. Are you going to go against Fate?"
My mother nods bravely, "I-I want... no, I need a child..."

They nod soberly, "We will consult the waters and see what we can do."
My mom smiles, "Thank you."

They told my mother that she can have a child... but they warned her that the child could be born different. This child could live forever or die young. The daughter was not meant to be my parents and would look nothing like them. My mother and father agreed to the terms and said that something was better than nothing.

Why did my parents say yes?

They took my mother into a room and did magic on her. Had her eat many herbs and drugs... and then the hags had a vision and took out a sacrificial knife and cut their veins... then my father's and, finally, mother's... and mixed their blood together and poured it over my mother's womb. After that, and until the break of dawn, they repeated chants. Eerie chants, scary chants, magical chants, hopeful chants, you name it. They said it all and more.

By dawn my mother went into a daze and the hags told my father to take my mother into the woods and make love to her and hope for the best.

My father, scared, did as they told him.

A week later, my mother was with child.

This story is more on the mystical side. COMPLETE FANTASY! It's a pretty creepy story (The author is saying this... hm, *hint hint*) But it's cool. (: I have 3 chapters up.

'If Only'

Prologue

June 27, 2002

Burning slowly, burning quickly, but, either way, I'm left here burning. Freezing quickly, freezing slowly, but, either way, I'm still here freezing. Falling, falling, ah, if only the peace of death could comfort me now. If only I could run away from this all.

August 15, 2002

Finding the truth between the lies... discovering the world piles problems on top of problems. You left me and now... now I have your memory growing in me. How can I ever leave them? I know what you would say to that... If only you were here to tell me.

September 30, 2002

Gathering all my strength, being whole... If only I was strong enough. If only... and if only I didn't have so much to live for... if only you hadn't left me the way you did. If only you were still here with me.

October 27, 2002

Trying so hard but the loneliness hurts me every time. Wishing for you to be here with me... how can I go through this alone? I need you... and now two more lives need you more than me. Why did the world have to take you from me? If only I could go back and fix it all so you never had to leave.

October 30, 2002

The pain of labor isn't what they all led me to believe... it was much too difficult and lasted much too long. But it was worth it in the end. You're the father of two beautiful children, a boy and a girl. I named them in memory of you... something to remind me of you. Elena and Aiden. Unique and their own names. Elena has your beautiful green eyes but she has my red hair... a much better combo than my red hair and blue eyes. Aiden has your blonde hair, but it's more strawberry blonde... and your beautiful green eyes... but he has my nose!

They are both so adorable! I told them you could see them from where you were... they both laughed... at least, I'm pretty sure they did. I can already tell they will be amazing. Maybe because I'm their mom? I miss you more than ever, but I will be strong for you... and my beautiful stars.

April 19, 2002

It's your birthday. I took the children to the cemetery and I looked down at your grave. I knew what was beneath: an empty coffin full of your memories.
You are 25 now... so young... so much...

Elena is a smart little child, obviously takes after you. Aiden is so sweet and cute! Elena already realizes that he needs to be taken care of... my sweet little stars.
Oh, Isaac, I try to be strong for you. I put on a smile each day, I laugh, I go to work... I am the best mom I can for our children. But yet I cannot forget what it could've been... if only you can come back now... if only.

June 27, 2002

It's your death anniversary. It hurts so much to have your friends and family come by with flowers and food... all saying they still can't believe you're gone. Elena doesn't understand what's going on but she keeps staring at all these people with her big eyes, as if she's saying, 'Who are you?' She takes my breath away.

Aiden cries each time someone separates him from Elena or me. Our little boy doesn't like all these people grabbing him and pinching his cheeks. Ah, but he's just so cute! I don't blame any of them just... I can't stand to hear him cry.

Oh, Isaac... it's been so long and I can't stand to have all these people quizzing me on the way you left! Won't you come back? This is tearing me apart... hasn't it been long enough?

August 5, 2003

Dear Lizzy,

I've found what I've been looking for. This being apart is killing me. Every day I turn around in bed, searching for your warmth. And wake up realizing you're in a different country. I got all your letters. You know why I had to act as if I died. But I'm still here. My papers now say that I am 'Zack Stone'. It's close to Isaac; I kept it like that for you, my love. I should be able to come home soon.

Tell Elena and Aiden their daddy's coming home... soon. Oh, Lizzy, every moment of every second, I long for you. For your beautiful red hair, your beautiful sky blue eyes, your addicting laugh, your shining smile, your innocent statements... I miss all of you.

I finally understand what all those love poems, those movies, those stories mean... but they got it all wrong. Love isn't an explosion; it's not something that just happens. Love is subtle and everlasting and comes unexpectedly. Like ours. These miles between us, the oceans, and all that... it means nothing. The thought of my being with you again is all that keeps me going.

It's been longer than enough... and you are so strong, my love. And so soon I will be with you... be patient.

Yours only, forever and always,
Isaac (Zack)
