Together they made plans...a home here in a clearing....close to the stream...built by the two of them...made with love...a place to grow old together...a place for children to play...discover the magic hidden there...it was as if they were both growing wings and learning to fly...neither had ever known such happiness....such love from another...they had both lived lonely lives...didn't quite fit in in the world around them...both had tried to make a life with others, but it had failed miserably....deep in their hearts they had known life should be different...that out there somewhere the other half of them waited....looking for what was missing....now they had found that missing half of themselves...they were whole for the first time in their life...
they spent their days...
talking...planning...laughing...so happy that they forgot there was a time that they had not been together...they had known one another forever...could see into the others soul...one soul...one heart...the princess could not stop touching him....loved the feel of his skin...his long fingers and hands fascinated her...and when he touched her she tingled and sparkled...closed her eyes and reveled in the feel...they would sit together and just stare into each others eyes for hours...no words...none were needed...at times he would sing to her...sing of his love...of his quest...he had sailed and sailed...always looking..never finding what he was searching for...had decided long ago that he was destined to be alone...a frogly prince without his princess...but he had finally found her...would never let her go...
At night...
they held each other tight...touching....kissing...falling asleep to the sound of the others breath...heaven surely couldn't be any sweeter...
And life went on like this for a year....then one day the prince felt a storm brewing...he wanted to protect his princess but didn't know how...he was troubled....became uncommunicative...she didn't understand what was wrong...why he seemed so distant...it hurt...finally he told he he had to go away...he would take her to a safe place...he said he still loved her...but that it was over...
He took her way and left her alone....sad and broken hearted...not understanding why...
She cried as he left her...she would never be the same...the laughter...the love was gone...and so was the light in her life...
In the distance the prince walked into the night....not understanding himself why he had to leave her...and in the dark of night...in the shadows....they both heard...laughter...hideous laughter...
