Evan woke up the next morning watching the golden light of the sun seep through the window. Feona wasn't in the bed. He stretched his arms in a lazy motion and got out of the bed. He walked to the kitchen where Feona was making breakfast. He wrapped his arms around her waist resting his chin on her shoulders and looked at her hands as they molded the flour. "I love you" he whispered in her ears. "Now now, don't waste your time, go and take shower. You have to go to work. Did you notice how late it is?" she replied. " I know, but I said something else!" he said with a grin. " I love you too hun. Now hurrrry!" She said showing fake anger. "Alright, alright, I'm going!" he laughed and gave her a small kiss on her neck.
Evan went out the back to the little washroom and filled out the tub and took a quick bath. He returned rubbing his head with a towel and asked her " Why don't you come with me today? I'm sure they need a lot of people at work now." "Naah, the whole house is a mess, I need to clean it up. Do you ever let me do anything at home when you are here?" she laughed. Evan made a kiddish sad face and looked at her just the way the kids do when they are being sent to the elders for their morning lessons. "Oh no, you are not tricking me today. Here is your lunch and off you go. I have tons of work to do." she said giving him a kiss. "Not fair! I have to work all alone the whole day!" he said in childish voice. "Evaaaan, Go baby, It's only a few hours." she replied. "Okay, okay, but I'll be back soon." "Alright hun" she laughed. He got out and started towards the village.
The sun was almost down when he got out of work. 35 silver coins and 5 bonus gold coins he earned today. It's pretty good he thought. He started towards his house. He bought some butter and corn bread from jenny on the way. "Are you guys going to the festival tonight?" she asked. "Maybe, I have to ask Feona first." he said. "How much for that pink scarf?" he asked. "Oh, thats one silver!" "Pretty expensive, eh?" he said. "Good stuff, so higher price" she smiled! "Alright, I'll take that." He replied "Hope to see you guys at the festival Evan, Good evening" "Good evening Jenny" he said as he started running slowly towards his house. She will be happy to see the scarf he thought. It's been a good day so far.
He reached his house pretty soon. Something felt wrong. Where are the lights? Why are the doors open? "Feona? Are you home?" he shouted. "Feonaa?" he said again. He went in the house and saw the big water vase broken. He became alert! What happened here he thought and where is Feona?? Just then a sharp cry ripped through his ears....."Evaaaan! Helpppp!" " Somebody help mee!" A loud scream came to his ears from the beach. The voice was Feona's! His heart started pounding. He dropped Everything on the floor and raced out the door to the beach.
He ran through the bushes and ran through the trees while he tried to hear her voice again. But it was silent. He ran a few steps more and suddenly he tripped over a rope held below. He fell face down on the ground. All he could feel is some strong hands holding him down. "This must be her man" someone said in a broken voice. " Get him" the same voice ordered. Suddenly he felt terrible pain in his knee as someone hit him with a wooden Pipe. He screamed out loud as they hit him again and again. After a while all he could feel is immense pain running through his upper leg, but no reaction from the bottom. They must have broken his legs he thought with fear. " Tie him down" their leader ordered. They tied his hands behind his body. "Bring him to the shore and let him enjoy us taking pleasure with his woman." the tall renegade said again. Noooooo, Feona is in their hands he thought with horror, no one is around either, everyone is gone to the festival. "Feonaaa, runnnn! Run awayyy now!" he screamed at the top of his voice. They came out to the end of the beach where the rest of them were holding her. "Lets be done and get out of here." their leader said in a harsh voice."
Evan watched helplessly as they walked towards her. "Nooooooooo" he screamed. "Evan, help me! Help mee pleasee" she screamed while they ripped off her dress. He opened his mouth to scream again but someone tied a piece of cloth on his mouth tightly. They tore her dress and held her like a animal, they bit her body here and there, they bit her soft flesh over and over. Her screams became a moan of horror and pain. Then they put her down on the ground as their leader stood over her naked holding his big manhood in his hands. "Take a taste of this you filthy btich!" he said as he spitted on her face. She moaned helplessly, tears rolling down her cheek, " Please let us go. Please, I beg you! Please let us go!" He slapped her hard and she only whimpered, unable to respond because of the shock she was in. He towered over her small body and came down with a rapid force. "AAAAAAAAAH" she screamed gasping for breath. Her scream made Evan feel as if someone had dropped hot boiling lead over his ears. His physical pain vanished in the presence of this immense mental pain. His whole heart seemed to explode with pain. He struggled to loosen his hands, the rope only dug deeper, cutting into his hands.
"Evan, please take me home. Please save me Evan! You promised me you would never let me go again. I love you Evan." she whispered over and over almost unconscious by now. These words hit him with such terrible pain, such hatred for all mankind, such shame and sorrow that he just felt numb. He just prayed silently that may her spirit leave her again like the day before so that she can't feel the horrible physical pain, as helpless tears rolled down his face. He looked up at the sky, asking God silently.....WHY? What had she done to deserve such pain? Where was he now?
Feona's moans became lower and lower as the savage beasts raped her over and over, tormenting the soft flesh of her womanhood with such raw force, scratching and biting her body all over. God kill her, take her away please he thought. Let her go away before she bears any more pain he prayed.
Feona whispered in a fainting voice one last time " I love you Evan! I love you!" He just closed his eyes as he couldn't look anymore how they tormented her body.
"Leader, this one don't move anymore. I think she's dead" suddenly said one of the savage beasts. "Ahhh, we all had our pleasure, so leave these bastards here." said their leader. I'd never forget that voice again nor will I forget any of those faces thought Evan with immense hatred. "What about this one?" said one of the renegades pointing to Evan. "He's already half dead! Let him enjoy his dead bit-ch" the leader laughed cruelly. They rode off in their canoes to the west side of the Island once again.
He tried to move, but his legs were numb. He tried to roll over but couldn't go far. He rolled over the sharp little rocks which dug into his body, but he kept on going. Finally he reached Feona's bloody, motionless naked body. He looked at her through the tears. He looked at her beautiful face lying down on the sand so still, so peaceful. His heart seemed to be ripped apart as the pain could not be held in anymore. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" "NOOOOOOOOOO!" he screamed again only to have his scream stay within his mouth, bound by the cloth. Why? Why he thought again! "You promised me we would die together he said when we are old. You promised you'd never live me alone. You promised you'd sleep in my arms every night. You promised....." he cried. He just tried to kiss her one last time before he fainted. The two torn, wounded and bloody body lied down under a striking full moon till Jonathon found them the next morning.
He sits there silently, listening to the waves.........
There are lots of different kinds of sayings of the villagers of what happened next....Some say he and his friend Jonathon beheaded all those savage renegades one by one and hung their head on his cottage door. Some say he just became numb after recovering from his leg injury and never talked to anyone. He just sits on the rocks and sits there! Everyone feels sorry for him and someone or the other from the village leaves food at his doors whenever they can.
But Evan just sits and stares at nothing......with such pain inside that has no healing, such hatred that has no limits, such loneliness that has no cure.....he just sits and thinks of Feona.....his love....his soul mate.....his wife........all that he had in life......was surrounding her.......her love........and her.....
He just sits there silently, listening to the waves crushing on to the rocks...................
Now this story my friends is to tell you, you should know how lucky you are to have someone you love, who loves you! Unfortunate things might happen in life.......so never let your close ones go away.......keep them close!......for one to know the pain of loosing their love is immense......it has no end it has no line........
With this......I bade farewell to all my friends in Ag.
We shall be friends forever.
Saionara.........
