I felt the necklace closing
around my neck, its beauty not surpassing the true meaning of it. The necklace
showed to all that I was nothing more than property, like a slave to his
master, so would I be--a wife to her husband. It was called Le Coeur de la Mer--the
Heart of the Ocean. An ocean holds so many secrets in its dark, unyielding
depths. As I gazed into the mirror at my reflection, I saw not the necklace,
but death. My death. The death of my spirit, which I was sure would come as
soon as I married him. And so I could never be fond of this necklace, a
necklace that held for me so much meaning, but for him only one--money. His
own. And as he spoke, I felt the necklace tighten around my neck, the cold
silver stinging my bare skin, the touch of his hands on my shoulders burning
like fire. I had to get away. I had to get away from him, from them, from my
mother, but most of all, from this world.
The End.
