Photo Story, Impressions: Part 18
My foot is on the mend so I was able to get this story done to post today. Photobucket is being kind of a butt though so the photos may be slow to load...but what can you do? Also, this story is a bit wordy and not especially action packed (as if any of my stories are, but whatever)...it's mostly just Paige reading a letter. However, it's important and a key part of the story so bear with me :D
Part 18:
Paige: I thought I'd feel so satisfied after telling Sebastian a thing or two...but I don't...
*Madison enters*
Paige: Madison!
Madison: Hello, Paige. Sebastian asked me to give you this letter. *hands Paige the letter*
Paige: He did? Why? *uneasy*
Madison: I don't know why, he didn't say. He's gone now. *sniff*
Paige: Gone? Where?
Madison: He went home. *is crying a little*
Paige: Oh, please don't cry. Is...uh...he not coming back?
Madison: He is, I just miss him, that's all...he only just got here. And when he does return I don't know if he will stay. He was very unhappy about something when he left, I'm worried about him.
Paige: *more uneasy* Try not to worry. He was probably just...er...sad to leave you.
Madison: *perks up a little* Thanks, Paige.
*Later, after Madison has left Paige alone again...*
Paige: Sebastian wrote me a letter? I wonder why... *opens it curiously*
Sebastian's Letter: Dear Miss Paige, I have been very distressed since our last conversation and have a strong desire to give you sufficient explanations for my behavior. I would rather do this in person, but family business requires me to return home. I am also not certain you would wish to speak to me at this time so this letter will have to suffice.
Sebastian's Letter: You have laid several accusations against me and I must be allowed to explain myself. Firstly, I inadvertently offended you with my remarks concerning fairies. I cannot retract my opinion of fairies in general, but I in no way intended to imply that you are the type of fairy I described. In fact, I assumed when we first met and you stated that you associated with humans mostly that you did so because you shared my opinion of fairies and wished to keep your distance from them. Perhaps I was mistaken in this assumption and for this I apologize. I have the highest respect and admiration for you and I see you as the most respectable of your kind I have ever met.
Sebastian's Letter: Secondly, you are understandably upset over my treatment of Miss Rayna. As with fairies I have strong negative impressions of pirates in general. My treatment of Miss Rayna, however, was inexcusable. I realize now that I did not treat her kindly. It is a wrong I will attempt to correct at the earliest possible moment.
Sebastian's Letter: Thirdly, you are still angry regarding my actions against Alex. As I stated previously, the matter has been resolved. If you do not trust my assertion on this topic I welcome you to discuss it with Alex himself. I will make no further apologies to you or anyone concerning the matter.
Sebastian's Letter: Finally, you find my concern with my sister's doings as interfering. I do not know how to explain to you my love and concern over my sister. At this point in time, she is all I have to love and cherish. I have spent my life protecting her, it has always been my duty to do so and it is a duty that will not end. I do not know how to explain the anguish I felt at seeing her violated by her former lover and it is not a pain I wish for her or I to repeat. Perhaps I am being selfish in trying to avoid the pain, perhaps I take my duty to her much too seriously. These are things I do not know how to apologize for, nor do I know how to explain it further.
Sebastian's Letter: It was never my wish to offend you or anyone. I will admit to excessive honesty and blunt observations, however many of my statements do not come across to others as I would intend. I have never claimed perfection. I have many flaws that require constant improvement and I fall short more often than I would wish. I thank you for taking the time to read this letter. Please accept my best wishes for a happy life.--Sebastian
Paige: ...?!?...
To be continued...
I went to the doctor yesterday and got some cortisone shots in my foot, which hurt like...well, a lot. It feels much better today although not perfect. I'll go back and see the doctor again in two weeks and she said if it's not better then she'll have to take the bunion off...fun. Stupid foot...
