" 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.

"Is that really what I am seeing?" Alice says and I nod my head.

"Yes, his Boots have little spikes under them. Those boots will give him more stability than anyone else has".

Both of them practically look at me and then back to the field, and Arden squints her eyes trying to see more clearly.

It's true that he has spikes underneath his boots, I had noticed this a long time now, I noticed this some time intothe fight and I cannot tell you exactly how elated I felt at it.

I had almost thought Silver eyes was stronger than Damen, i had almost thought that Damen would be no match for him until I checked under his boots.

Well i did not check under it as much as it practically called to me.

Okay, i don't think it called to me, I think i noticed it but still, enough of that, he has spikes under is his boots.

Spikes which will practically lodge his legs into the ground as Damen fumbles forward almost too close to silver eyes.

"Someone else should have noticed, don't you think? I say and both of them share a look.

"If anyone noticed, they practically would not say anything about it".

They both say this and I nod my head.

"Exactly if no one is going to say anything about it, then it is better we notice, it's better we noticed and inform Adrian of it because no one else is going to, don't you think it would be nice if he had a good knowledge of exactly what his opponents were planning" Both of them nod at me.

"OK that is true what you are saying there, it is, plus it's not like we're exploiting their weaknesses, we are just seeing the little tricks that they are using and we are making sure we avoid them".

Alice backs me up on this one quite easily and I smile an elated smile at her.

"All right then, do you want me to go look for Adrian and inform him of this?" she asks and I shoot her a surprised look.

"Are you really going to do that?" I ask her and she nods her head.

"Yes, I have just accused you of doing something wrong and so I'm guessing that i should make up for it in some way"

I shoot her a grateful look as she walks off into the distance, Alice has focused her whole attention back on the fight and I can see that it has taken on something of a new intensity at this point.

"Who do you think is going to win?" I ask her and her face lights up at this.

"Want to make a bet" she says and I cannot tell you how much my breath starts pounding in my ears.

"You want to bet with me?" I asked her and she nods her head.

"Yes. whoever wins has to make a promise to the other".

Alright I'm seriously considering this, I'm seriously considering this because she sounds so serious about it, plus what could go wrong.
