It was still in the early hours of the morning, the sky was still dark, and the cold wind howled. Abrielle lay close to the warm charcoal that still had some red warmth in them. The fire had gone off since it was left unattended in her sleep.
A few steps from her, Cedric stood looking at her vulnerable self being protected by an animal that didn't know its place. The kitten was too scared to attack Cedric, but it didn't stop baring its teeth at him.
Cedric walked closer to her while the kitten continued standing against him until he got a bit impatient and kicked it out of his way. He stood admiring her sleeping face, she did look like an angel when she was completely asleep.
