Fitzwilliam
Darcy is plagued with the possibility of his wife never recovering
from amnesia. He shrugs off her odd habits as side effects of her
accident. Distraught, he finds solace in keeping his distance at the
bottom of a glass of whiskey. He assumes she has another lover, since
she calls out for another man in the middle of the night, and when he
sees her in the arms of another man, he is heartbroken, and finds it
all too easy to sever what ties remain. When he comes to know the
error of his ways, he wonders if Elizabeth could ever forgive him for
his harsh judgment.
She stood beneath an old oak tree. Rain saturated her clothing. She studied the dress that clung to her skin and was alarmed — it looked as if it was from a different time. She hugged herself to remain warm, for the rain and cold seeped down to her very being. Tears burned her eyes, and the earth trembled beneath her feet as lightning struck the tree she stood under. The force of a falling tree branch knocked her to the ground. Face first in the mud, she felt someone lifting her up. Struggling to regain her balance, she wiped her hair out of her eyes.
Her body collapsed, and she fell to her knees before her rescuer. “Aunt Jane,” she whispered.
“Elizabeth, my sweet child, you must find me. You must leave this place at once.”
“How do I find you? Where am I? I’m being held prisoner by a psycho.”
“My sweet Elizabeth, there are forces at work that you wouldn’t understand. You are not a prisoner, and Darcy is a lost soul. He is stuck in his past self, just as you are.”
Thunder boomed and lightning struck the ground next to Elizabeth. She jumped and screamed, and her heart pumped to the point that she was sure it would jump out of her chest.
“Find me, Elizabeth. Inside, you will find the truth.” Jane handed Elizabeth a locket as she faded away into the mist.
