Memories Part 8 Father was going to send someone to look for Vincent and Catherine but Vincent of all people knew more about these tunnels them anyone else. If he did not want to be found they would not be. I�ll just wait in his chamber until they return. Vincent, as Catherine laughed, these winds are amazing the way they blow your hair. I love it here. Taking her in his arms Catherine I love to hear your laughter. If brings such a joy to my heart. As does your Vincent. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love you . It seems like a beautiful dream. Catherine this is a dream for me and for us. The kind of love we share is extraordinary. As we are. Holding her close he took her lips to his own. I love you with all my heart Catherine Chandler. As I do you Vincent Wells. Come let us go to the falls. Vincent and Catherine have been gone a very long time. What could they be up too. I could just imagine after I saw them earlier in his chamber. They had been doing more than talking that is for sure. Lord help us all. These two cannot be together. I must put a stop to this relationship before it�s too late. Patiently tapping his fingers on Vincent�s writing desk lost in thought. I think I know how I can do this. Catherine does not know of Vincent�s �darkside� maybe if she does she will change her mind. If she knows the raging side of him it may be too much for her to handle and she will leave. Yes that is the answer. A little later father hears laughter and talking. Vincent I had so much fun. I love you. Catherine I had fun as well and I love you. We have got to talk to father. We must make him understand and maybe give us his blessing. (Father saying to himself that will be the day) Vincent stopped right at the entrance of his chamber and gathered Catherine close for another kiss. Father witnessing this tapped his cane on the floor. Excuse me you two there is someone else in here. Both blushing oh father we did not know you were here. Apparently not. Such a scandalous display. Vincent you should know better or was it Catherine�s idea. Father I kissed her and I will do it again. Taking her lips once more. Vincent. I am sorry Catherine but he has to understand. We are glad you are here father. We need to talk. Vincent I don�t think I need to hear what you have to say and he proceeded to get up. . Yes father you do stay seated please. Catherine come leading her to his big chair have a seat. I prefer to stand. Now listen Vincent. No father you listen. Catherine and I love each other you cannot change that. We are going to be together with or without your blessing. The love we share will never go away. We were made for each other. Catherine will be in my life and I in hers. Father I love you but I love Catherine too. Vincent can I speak to him? Sure my love. Father I know you feel you must protect Vincent and I understand that. But you also have to let him fall in love. I may not be your choice for Vincent but it is his decision. I know I am from Above. I have lived in luxury all my life but it wasn�t as easy as you think. I had to be the perfect daughter of Charles Chandler. I had to be top in college to make him happy. I worked hard at my job to prove I could handle it. But Father that was not what I wanted. It was what everyone else expected of me. Vincent has given me what I always wanted a chance to be me and I love him for it. I don�t have to be more than I am. I don�t have to impress anyone. I can be plain Catherine Chandler who I really want to be. Loving Vincent I don�t have to pretend to be someone I am not. I didn�t like the person I used to be. Vincent helped me see what I really wanted and needed in life. Him and his love. Father I love him with all my heart. I will not hurt him or shatter his world. I want to be with him. Father I am going to give up my live above for the love of your son. I want to make him happy and I promise you that I will. Please understand this is not just a �passing fancy� as you may think I love him and I will be with him. We want to be together and we will. I hope you will come around and let your son�s dream come true. Father I love Catherine and I want to spend my life with her and I will. All right you two had you say now let me speak. Catherine you love him. But you don�t really know him. You see he has a �darkside � that rages within him. It is hard to control that side of him especially when someone he loves is threatened or in danger. Catherine you have never seen that side of him. It is beyond explanation. When the rage surfaces he must hide deep within the catacombs until the rage passes. Catherine can you live with that? Not knowing when it may appear. Could you? Father Vincent and I have talked about this. I know of his �darkside�. The terror it can bring, the hurt, pain and sometimes it can kill. But that is a part of him. Il accept it and we will deal with it together as one. You cannot scare me away. Vincent I had no idea you told her. That�s because you never asked. Father we are going to gather our swimming clothes and go to the falls. We will leave you to think about what we have said. Give you time to come to terms with our relationship . After they gathered the things they needed Vincent told him they would be back later. We will come to your chamber and they left. Father knew he had a lot to think about so he headed for his chamber.
