" 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)

Adrian returns returns with Alice and Arden trailing behind him and i have to be surprised at this, all right things have taken a turn.

Things have definitely taken a turn and I have to look at the three people in front of me.

"Seriously, please now, I want the truth. Are we just arriving back from the hotel?" I say looking at all three of them and they all share a look with each other. They all share a look and Adrian practically nods his head.

"Truly, we just came back. We just came back this morning".

I think it's the look that makes me feel they're lying, that look that they just shared is making me feel they are lying but still I feel they are saying the truth.

I feel they're saying the truth because Alice simply sits on the bed the next moment and she touches my head.

"What proof do you guys have that we came here around two this morning?" I say and she looks at me weird.

She taps out something on her phone and I see that it is pictures that she has taken. She's showing me pictures that she had taken with Ercles.

They are pictures that she had taken with the little boy on Snapchat and the time batch is clearly there.

The time batch is clearly there as they take the picture with a filter in this room and I have to open my eyes wide in shock at this.

Today is the twentieth of December and Christmas is so near, Christmas is so near but yet I feel like I have been living an eternity here. Is that normal??.

"Did anything weird happen to you?" Adrian says looking at me and I nod my head. I nod my head because I do not feel that I can ignore this anymore.

"Is there a memorial hall around here?" I say looking at the three of them and Arden promptly looks shocked.

He looks especially shocked, almost like what I had said is just for him to even begin with and i have to roll my eyes at this.

The expressions on their face is very dramatic.

It is very very dramatic especially with the way they're all looking at me, almost like I'm a witch.

"Does it surprise you guys that I know of this?" I say looking at them and they nod thier heads

"Did you tell her about it?" Arden says looking at Arden and she shakes her head.

She shakes her head as she raises up her hands in defence.

"You know that I don't go around speaking about just everything?".

Okay this is weird, this is weird because the way they speak, the way they are speaking you would think that this place was totally off-limits.

You would think that it was totally off limits but it wasn't off-limits when I went there before or was it??m.

"Is the memorial hall off-limits?" I say looking at the three of them and they all nod their heads together.

"I have only been in there a total of five times up till now".
