"Look at you! You're frozen! Come here! I swear to you Candy, by the Isabella I will not hurt you. Now come here!" Candy stood frozen on the rooftop of the Dead Man's House. She knew she wasn't going to last much longer up here. Carrion was too fast and she was freezing cold. She looked at him standing there about ten paces away with his arms wide open as if to embrace her. She was dazed and confused and cold.

She took a step towards the Prince of Midnight. She saw his eyes widen slightly in surprise that she wasn't running away from him anymore. She took two more steps in his direction and then fainted. Carrion took two large strides and caught the poor girl before she hit the snow. He looked at her. Her lips were blue and her hair and eyelashes were covered in snow. He gently picked her up and carried her back inside. He knew that she had to get warm quickly or she could die of hypothermia. He walked quickly down the dark hallways of the house to a spare room next to his own. He gently placed her on the bed and tucked her in. He looked down at her.

Here was the girl he was to kill, lying helpless not two feet from him. He knew she was a threat to everything he and his grandmother sought to achieve but he couldn't bring himself to do it. It felt to him as if she were hiding a great secret from him and he was determined to find out what it was. He sighed to himself for his weakness and looked down at the sleeping girl and caught his breath. She looked almost exactly like his princess, Princess Boa. He leaned down to tenderly stroke her cheek, she sighed and leaned her head into his hand. He froze, he was certain it was her but he was equally sure that she was dead. Then a sudden torrent of anger shook him, he knew what had happened here.

I know it's short but I will have more up later! :D please review! but don't flame!
