This is not a story of a charming boy next door and a pretty girl wherein they meet, fall in love and live happily ever after. This is a story of a boy with nothing but intellect as his only treasure and a baneful girl with secrets nobody dares ask her about. The pursuit of his answers begin long after when he comes to know that he too is a part of the skeletons in her cupboard and unsuspected feelings bloom in him as he sees in her a familiar face from his bygone years. This is not the story of a boy who grew into a man through pain. This is the story of a girl who was never to be born.

It was Christmas today. After that conversation with Elwyn, I stopped him from talking and asked him to spend the night in my house, and he agreed. But I couldn't sleep a wink, I mean who would, if such questions were thrown at them in the middle of the night? Just when I thought things were starting to become normal...but then again, I'm Blaine Bennett. I'm the only normal person in my life, well compared to others. It was still chilly in the morning and my mother had warned me and Elwyn about a snowstorm within a few hours. This, was weird. A snowstorm, in Vanifernum? Please. 


"We're gonna need more firewood. And more meat. Elwyn ,Blaine; you're bringing home firewood before the storm rages and Elijah will go to buy meat and other ingredients. I need the three of you home in three hours. Okay ?" 


"Oh, and merry Christmas!" She said in a tune and pranced to the television. 


"Your mom sure knows how to boss around." Elwyn said.
