HISTORY:
Watt Vandiver was a young boy born in Belgium. His parents were young and although they knew little about the New World, they were awed by the stories of the riches it had to offer. It wasn’t long before they had the desire to see this New World and make a new life there with their young son. The trip was uneventful and upon arriving in a port in the Louisiana territory, the family joined a group of travelers and made their way to the hill country of Texas.
The land was abundant and Watt’s father’s herding and farming skills helped them establish a thriving farm. The work was hard but young Watt was happy to follow in his father’s footsteps. They traveled to the local township of Jarrell to trade their wares with others in the area and it was not long before Watt met the woman of his dreams. She was fair and beautiful and lived alone on a nearby farm. As their relationship progressed, Watt soon found himself stealing away to spend the night in his fair lovers arms. He lived a life of bliss. Each time he asked his fair lover to become his forever, she would silence him and make love to him once again. As the time passed and fall approached, Watt decided to make her his wife and with a heart filled with love and joy, he rode out to her farm. It had been more than a week since she had last sent for him and assured that he would be welcomed as usual, he was very confident she would greet him with open arms.
As he approached his fair lover’s house, he noted that there was a horse in the corral. Perhaps she had visitors for supper. As he knocked on her door a young man appeared and asked what his business was there. He replied he wished to speak to his fair lover. The young man became irate and asked what Watt’s business was with his wife. Watt was immediately stricken with shock and anger. How could he have been such a fool and been deceived into having another man’s wife. He quietly replied that he wished to say “good-bye” and silently turned and walked away.
He mounted his horse and headed for the limestone lined hills… his grief all consuming. How would he live without her? The answer was simple, he would not! As he rode, night came upon him and he silently dismounted and shooed his horse away. He sat down below a lone oak tree and wept … his revolver in his hand. He was soon to take his life.
He suddenly felt the touch of a soft hand on his shoulder and turned to see the face of a lovely woman with sad eyes. “Why are you so sad son?”, asked the woman. Watt could not even form a reply his pain was so great. “ I can take away the pain that you feel and make you whole again, do you wish this?” she asked of him. He could only look at her and nod. She extended her hand to him and he allowed her to ease his pain and make him immortal.
The years began to pass and the pain subsided. Watt was immortal but his heart was lonely and he searched for someone to fill the chasm in his soul. He was assured that even immortals had the capacity to love and in time he would find the one who was his true soul mate. It was on a cold January day that he decided to integrate with the local townsfolk of Belton. As he walked through the market he felt a keen sense of need… something he could not understand or fathom. It was then that he felt her presence. As he turned and looked in her direction, he saw her there and immediately knew that this woman was his true mate. As he approached her, he could see in her eyes that she felt the same.
Watt had found his mate for life and Gracie (The Storm’s Grace) became his forever. While fate may have had a hand in changing Watt’s life, Gracie calls it their destiny.
