" 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)

"You might wake up any minute from now. You might wake up any minute from now but still there is something that I want you to know, there's something that I want you to know and I know that you may not hear me in your sleep but yet, maybe I will feel more calm if I finally told you.

We are not normal at all, this place is not normal in the least, I don't really know what even made me bring you here in the first place, I don't know what made me to bring you here in the first place but yet there is one thing that I suspect.

You are special, you are a very special person, you're a very special person who loves the people around you with such a fierce intensity, you love them up to the point that you will put yourself in danger for them, your heart bleeds for the Innocence, your mind is guided by morals and principles, I don't think I've ever seen someone like you. I don't think I've ever seen anyone like you.

You are the most lovable person on the planet and I doubt I'll ever be able to stop loving you. I doubt I'll ever be able to stop caring about you, but still it is because I love you that I do not tell you anything. It is because I love you that i keep you in ignorance, it is because I love you that i perpetually keep up this act of not knowing what you're talking about.

I love you too much to expose you to such danger.

I love you too much to practically endanger your life in such a way. I hope you can understand. I hope you can understand one day when everything finally comes out.

I feel that time is near. I feel that time is nearer than we think, though you might have already noticed that everything here is strange, still there is another strangeness to it, there's another strangeness to it which I cannot tell you of now because it is the most dangerous type of strange.

It is the most dangerous type and I don't want you to be in danger. I don't want you to be in any form of danger at all.

You have surprised me considerably my Aderyn, you have surprised me considerably well and I have to say that you have turned out to be quiet the surprising person.

You do not know of your heritage, you do not know of your true parentage, even I am not so sure about it myself but I promise you, I promise you that I will tell you the truth, one day.

I will get you the truth of exactly who you are, I will get you the truth of exactly what you can do, I will get you the whole reason as to why you are special even if i don't need any reason to be convinced.

You will get you to an amazing place in the future, another world entirely, but as for now. I cannot tell you anything. I cannot tell you anything because I love you too much.

I can already feel her pulse racing. I can already feel her heartbeat increasing.

I get myself into character once more. She can not know, not yet.

Adrian's pov.
