" 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.

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

"Are you sure this is okay?" I say looking towards Adrian.

I'm looking at him and he nods his head.

He nods his head so he can possibly give me an odd look.

"Are you really concerned about the both of them that much?" He says looking towards me and shoot him a similar look.

I shoot him a very very ugly look because why would I not be concerned.

"You know that if anything happens to her while you are in here, if anything happens to her while you're in there, i will never forgive you".

He nods his head at this as he looks just past me.

"I would also never forgive myself, but still she needs to get some experience, she needs to get a taste of exactly what this place looks like"

"But Alice is still with her?" I say looking at him and he nods. He nods as he looks at me.

"Alice is still with her because I trust Alice not to interfere. She will not do anything that she's not supposed to do".

I roll my eyes at this. I roll my eyes at this because he feels I will interfere.

He feels I will interfere in exactly what is happening here and I am sure that I will. I will surely interfere because this is simply madness.

We all know what these games are for, we all know what these guys are meant to achieve, at some time they stop being about family prestige and at some time it is not even about the number of tokens that you have in your hands.

Some people simply want to kill each other, some people simply want to kill each other and you can already smell the agitation in the air.

You can already smell it in the air but still Adrian tells me to still keep her here, Adrian tells me to still leave her on the field with Alice, i mean Alice can simply go nuts at any moment.

I do not mean any offence to her by stating this. I do not mean any offence by stating this but still you can get where I'm coming from.

She is a spy, she is actually a real life spy who can jump on roofs and carry out all those other fascinating acrobatic stuff.

She can help Aderyn, she can help Aderyn in a very noticeable way but still I doubt she would do that.

I doubt she will do that because Adrian is right, I'm the only one who would do something without actually having my name on the interference list.

I'll try to prevent something I feel is dangerous because this is danger, this is totally dangerous and I don't know exactly what Adrian wants to gain by putting her through this. I don't know what Adrian wants to gain by putting her through this because seriously, serious is this even safe, is this even safe???, leaving her in a practical crowd of the worst people who she could ever be with.

Yes you heard me correctly, you heard me correctly.

Aderyn is practically in trouble, well she's in a bit of trouble right now and I wonder why Adrian is doing this.

"Is there any reason why you are carrying out this torture on her?" I say looking towards him and he rolls his eyes.

"Nothing has even started yet and you already feel I'm torturing her, what about when the real thing begins?".
