" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Arden asks me and I nod my head.

"I think I have something to tell Adrian"i say and she nods.

"You can go over to that place, you'll find him there. That's where all the contestants who haven't participated yet are staying".

With the number of people that were actually to participate. I'm of the conviction that this will go well into the night and I don't know how Adrian wants to fight in the night. I'm guessing that I can still walk over to him since he isn't yet to participate but an awry feeling in my stomach turns at this.

The five minutes are almost over, if I didn't walk over and share this piece of information with him then I practically won't gains the chance to again.

He might be the one who is called on any moment from now and I practically dread that aspect of all of this. I begin working over to the tents that Allen has pointed out

I begin walking absentmindedly as my mind is flying over a hundred possible ways to ensure that Adrian is the Victor of this round. I'll tell him not to kill anyone but, I don't really think I can say Adrian is a killer.

I realised I probably won't have needed to say that, those who even killed their opponents in the end were doing it to send a message, what sort of a stupid message could they send to a man who had lost the will to live, I do not know but still I don't think Adrian will kill anyone, even if he was forced to.

I begin walking and I suddenly bump into someone, I bump into someone so hard that both of us immediately go down, both of us go crashing on the ground because it seems he has slipped on something, either he slipped on the hem of my dress, or he slipped on whatever grass he was walking on I do not know, but the moment I raise my head up, I see someone with sparkling silver eyes.

I reel back immediately as I see a face, a face which is foreign to me because I haven't seen it in this place ever.

"I'm really sorry about that, are you okay?" He says as he gets up and makes to give me a hand.

For some weird reason I take it like a scared little chicken, because his eyes are startling.

Okay the rest of them is also startling too and I have to remind myself to buy sunglasses at this point, because the beauty of everyone in here is blinding. I even wonder why I am able to fit in so well because I didn't really consider myself beautiful, but this guy is a new addition to the bunch.

A new edition who dresses as professionally as the rest of them, well they do not dress professionally as much of the dress fancy, but whatever.

He dresses like most people here and there is a deadly air that lingers around him.

It is this air that makes me scared.
