The Book

"Look", said the boy, "Destiny left his book over there! Let's read it!" Trembling, the girl took a step back and said: "No! We shall not do that! Destiny is probably close, and if he sees us reading his book... Oh... I don't even want to think about it."

The boy kept going. "Come, quick!", he said, as he walked towards the book, sitting over a big rock next to the river. As they approached, the book opened by itself, to the exact page where their story was written. The girl was afraid, and hid behind a tree, looking around to see if anyone showed up. The boy just kept reading, interested on what was going to happen to them. And he read it to the end of the page, where he found out that they would follow different ways, never getting to meet again.

The girl said: "We've gone too far, now. Let's go, before anything bad happens.". She ran away before she could see the boy's face covered up with tears. Despaired, he cut himself and started re-writing the story, using his blood as ink. He wanted a different end, and that was his only chance...

After this day, nobody ever heard of them any more, but legends tell of a boy and a girl condemned to live together forever, without ever finding their way back home, or even meeting other people.

And they lived happily ever after.
