Emily

My name is Emily, I was born in a warm home in a small town that most have never heard of. When I was a young girl I often was scared, and would cry myself to sleep that is until my mother told me the story of this forest elf. I know weird right? It’s what she told me. She told me that he would watch over me and keep me safe. What a foolish little girl I was. So foolish in fact I believed her. I believed her so well that I use to pretend there was one. I would meet him by this stump in the forest. I felt like a fairy tale come true. That was until one day I was taken away. Not in like kidnapped. Heavens no. I was to meet my future husband. However since I am promised to a man I have taken a vow of chastity, to save myself for him on our wedding night. It’s exciting really. I mean to know you’ll be married. But the problem is my mother-in-law. If anyone could make me mad it is that woman. She says I’m as stubborn as a mule and shy as a fox, I corrected her that it was sly as a fox and she tells me I’m impossible. But it is true, I might be stubborn but I was shy. In fact while girls will tell you of their stolen kisses I have but one kiss that I have ever had. I was so nervous I almost fainted to. It was on the night we announced I was to wed a month after my 18^th birthday to him. Now I am allowed to go anywhere I want. A bit of a romantic as I am, though not physically, I wanted to go to that place where I grew up. I have matured much more from the small girl I once was but a child deep down with in me tells me to go look for my elf. Though I highly doubt I’d find him, there is a glimmer of hope that I to may tell my children to come since Henry, my fiancé wants to have seven, that just seems like to many in my opinion but a woman’s doesn’t matter, not unless you want beaten with a belt, I had that happen once, for back talking my father only I got only two lickings and was let go. Still doesn’t change, I am stubborn, kind, shy, and dearly wish to be a mother, though I’m not so sure Henry is the one I am to be with. Perhaps this visit home will set my mind at ease for I have 8 months and then I am to wed and lose my purity, but am I losing it to the right man?
