Your parents were good friends with the Sharpe's. They always had your parents over for dinner or parties at their lavish mansion Allerdale Hall. Beautiful place full of hidden treasure and wonderful hiding spot. You grow up with Thomas and Lucille. You were a bit younger then Thomas. As a child you clung on to Thomas like a lost puppy. Always following him and he loved it. It was someone different then from his sister. You always felt funny around Lucille, she scared you. Never knowing what really happened to them after you left with your parents for the evening. Always remember that sometimes Thomas would wince in pain after you gave him a hug.

      The day his Parents passed away, was a sad one. You and your family attended the funeral you stood by Thomas's side that day. His sister was no where to be found. He had told you she sent to finish school. But it wasn't the funeral that made your heart break or that started tears to fall. It was what Thomas told you. He was to go away for sometime to a boarding school. That day was one of the worst of your young life, losing your best friend. He was 11 at the time. As you walked with him to the carriage. He promised you that he would write to you. You made the same promise to write him as well. He also promised he would come back for you. That he would marry you some day. Which made you giggle in away you were to young to think about that. But for Thomas he had already grown up some from the horrors that had happened in that house.

       Thomas made good on his promise of writing you. You got letters ever week. Making you heart whole. The letter in the beginning were of innocent children. When you were old enough. You had decided to visit Thomas. Even telling him you would. The school aloud visitors at times. Though your father had to accompany you. You were a bit nervous as you looked for the perfect dress to wear. You hadn't seen him in a few years. Both of you had grown and with every letter Thomas wrote you, your love for him grow. Remembering a time when yours and Thomas father, had mentioned about arranging you to marry Thomas. That day Lucille went on a rant about it should never happen. Her mother screamed at her to stop her. It had scared you as you hide behind Thomas.

        Once in the carriage you started to get too nervous. What if he didn't like what he saw. You weren't that little girl he always promised to protect you were a young lady. Yes he was a man now but it was all new even the letter had changed from a boy to a young man. The thought of what he could look like also ran through you head, and was he like the other boys his age. Mean and treated women like they were beneath them. You father and mother taught you to be strong yet lady like. They wanted the best for you. You were a bit different the the other girls.

      Thomas watched out the window when the carriage pulled up. He knew it was you by the you're family crest on the door. Thomas ran down the stairs almost running over a few of his fellow classmates. Bursting through the doors. Your father stepped out first offering his hand for you, helping you out of the carriage. When you stepped out Thomas came to a holt. His jaw dropped at the sight of you. See you all grown up in to the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He couldn't move suddenly everything had stopped even his heart. He tried desperately to swallow the lump that invade his dry throat. His own body seemed to ache for you. To hold you, to touch you, to kiss you, to call you his.

       "Ah, Thomas young lad. You turned in to a might fine young man." You Father spoke first. Bring Thomas out of his thoughts. As you father reached his hand out to Thomas. Finally seeing Thomas as your father brought you to attention. He took your breath away. When your eyes landed on him. This was not the same boy you once knew. You suddenly felt shy. Almost hiding behind your father.

      "Yes, it is good to see you Mr. y/l/n." Thomas voice was higher then normal he could control his excitement. As he took your fathers hand and shook it. Before tuning his attention back on to you. "Miss. Y/n. Your look stunning." Tomas smile. Oh dear god his smile was about to bring you to your knees. Thomas took your hand into his and with a bow, placed a soft kiss on your knuckle.

           "Thomas." You squeaked out, as you curtsied, though you couldn't control your giggle or the heat that ran to your face. For it being cold day it felt hotter then the hottest day in summer.

        Managing to get you alone, Thomas walked you around the area. With your arm tucked under his. Your father had wanted to check out the school. But as you were a girl you were not allowed to go in so Thomas had reassured your father he would keep an eye on you. Once you two were alone, making sure no one was around. Thomas turned around to embrace you in a long awaited hug. That lingered long then what would be deemed as appropriate. You gladly clung on to him. Like he was going to disappear.

         "Oh Thomas," You buried your face into his strong chest. "I've missed you so much." You felt like crying. Being held so tightly by him. Like when you were kids. His sent had changed from when he was a boy. It was enticing, welcome, and wanted.

           "I've missed you as well y/n, my love." He cooed. As one hand moved away from you, the other still pressed around your waist firmly. His free hand moved under your chin holding it between his fingers, as they guided it up. To have you look at him. His head lowering down to yours to press his lip upon yours. Even if you wanted to move way the grasp on your chin would not allow it. You whimpered under his kiss. You found yourself breathless.

    "Thomas!" You both heard from afar. Making you both jump apart from each other. If it weren't for the fact that is was a feminine voice you would have expected it to be your father. Both of you looked over to see Lucille run towards Thomas. You sighed as you glanced over to Thomas. The moment over, as his eyes lit up to see his sister who he hadn't seen in a very long time. She practically knocked him down when she engulfed him in a hug.  After that day everything changed and you never saw Thomas after that day.

*10 years later.*

       Thomas's most resent wife had passed away by the hands of Lucille. He never wanted to to do this. But Lucille weaseled her idea on him using him like a fertile. Giving him love he thought he needed love that he missed. The love he never could feel. Like he did when he was with you. Deep down he knew this was wrong he tried to find you. After Lucille pulled him from boarding school. But your family had moved. He hated himself after that day at school when his sister showed up. He should have told you. He loved you and proposed to you that day.

       Thomas was in town for a few days, really he wanted to get away from his sister. He just wondered around, it was a nice spring day. His feet carried him to your old neighborhood. Passing you house. He stopped for a moment to remember the times he had with you. The moments he regretted.  He didn't really pay attention to the woman that was coming out of the house. He was just lost in his own memories.
