The girl was walking along the beach one day, when she came upon a man, dressed in a long black cloak. This man was among one of the most beautiful men she had ever seen, and he offered her something she had always wanted.
The girl started to jump at the offer, but caught herself just in time.
Her Father had taught her better than that. This thing she had wanted, was not in her best interest. She knew that. When she had asked her father for it, he had not given it to her.
Now as she was faced with the decision to finally acquire that wish, or to turn away from it. She could not decide what she wanted. Her father was not around to tell her no. But she was hesitant. why would her father tell her she could not have this thing, unless he had a good reason.
Suddenly, taken by a rebellious streak she reached out to take the gift fro this strange handsome man. Before her fingers could close around it, her older brother came bounding over the hill, shouting her name. The girl recolied her hand and sucked in a breath of shock at what she nearly done. Her brother rebuked the man, and suddenly the man's cloak was swept from his shoulders, and the girl could clearly see he had only meant her harm, not happiness like her father. She turned away from him and hid her face in her brothers chest as he rubber her back, comforting her.
