The
Memory
“I
know you,” she whispered as he approached her in the grove.
“I
wish I had never had to leave you,” he said.
“How
do I know you?” she asked.
“We
loved each other once,” he explained.
“I
feel like I still love you,” she confessed.
“Nothing's
changed except your memory. I never stopped looking for you,” he
declared as he took her hands.
“What
happened to me?” she asked.
“They
knew we were powerful. They knew that together we could conquer them
and destroy them. The witches knew that if you forgot you loved me
and took me away then they could continue to prepare for their leader
to come back,” he explained.
“Witches?
They erased you from me? Where did they take me?” she was confused.
She had been a normal girl until she saw him in the grove.
“They
took me to a prison inside a mountain where they cast a spell to keep
me there. I convinced one of them that I would never look for you,
that I was dying. She let me go and I immediately came to look for
you,” he told her.
“So,
what are we?” she inquired.
“We
are Eternals. You and I are the only ones left. The rest of us were
destroyed by the witches. They weren't as powerful as you and I. We
come from a long line of royalty. Our parents were made Eternals by
an ancient coven of witches. They were given the power to create more
Eternals to take over the evil coven of witches who captured me and
destroyed your memory. These evil witches are extremely powerful.
Your parents knew that when they saw me that we would be the ones to
save them all. By separating us they were able to kill everyone who
was out in the open,” he explained to her.
“This
is all so much. What do we do? How do we save our people?” she
asked.
“Kiss
me. It is the only thing the witches can't destroy. They can't
destroy our love that is why they separated us,” he said hopefully.
“So
we are like a Disney movie? You are Prince Charming and I am your
Aurora or Snow White or Ariel?” she giggled to him.
“I
guess you could look at it that way,” he smiled.
“I
guess we better kiss and save our people then,” it was then that
they kissed and all her memories of thousands of years as an Eternal
flooded back.
“Do
you remember?” he asked.
“Everything!
We have to go there is so much to do,” she insisted.
“Wait,
just a second. I spent thousands of years with you until last year.
Let me have a minute then we can go save our people,” he said
before kissing her again.

The
Pumpkin and the Squirrel
Normally
when the squirrel saw pumpkins they were too big to carry home.
Usually he would take pieces home and those were wonderful but it was
so much work running back and forth with pieces of pumpkin. One day
the squirrel saw a surprise waiting for him outside a home. Tiny
little pumpkins all in a row! They were various colors and shapes but
pumpkin all the same. The squirrel was so happy! He felt like he had
hit the jack pot. While his family was out he ran down his tree and
fetched each little pumpkin. He set a pumpkin out for each of his
family members and even some friends. When everyone came home with
their bits of foraging they found their own pumpkins just waiting for
them. They were all so thrilled! They hugged their papa squirrel and
thanked him for their feasts. The squirrels squeaked and chatted the
night away as they gorged themselves on delicious little pumpkins of
their own.
