So, Hi, I hope you like this story- I wrote it a while back but I just wanted to publish it on here. I don't think I need to disclaim anything. Please enjoy it and review!

Poison

Arianna White stared into Edmund Arlon's grey eyes with her amethyst ones. Her eye colour being the only visible feature of her witch heritage. To have purple eyes wasn't linked to being a witch seeing as witch hunters rarely found any real witches and any real witches hid their identity to live there lives safely, the colour purple for eyes was merely a desired feature to posses.

"We could run away together. I have family far away; your husband won't know where to look. No knight in the kingdom will find us." Edmunds eyes widened as he turned around to stare out the window immersed wholly in his plan.

"It could work." Arianna replied making her voice convincing. "I could be free to be with you forever." She said as she slid a dagger from under the cape of her dress. Edmunds eyes stayed fixated on a vague spot in the distance.

"I love you." Edmund whispered affectionately, swinging Arianna by the waist to where he stood, his body turned in towards her in an embrace.

"I love you, too." She leaned in to him and stabbed the blade deep into his chest where his once beating heart lay. Edmunds body fell into Arianna who then slowly laid him down. "I love you, too." She accidently let a tear spill out of her eyes and trail down her face falling onto Edmunds torso.

Her words were no lie. Edmund was the only man she had loved. Her husband she married out of business and with him being king it was something she couldn't overlook, being queen was her only security to make sure no one would utter the word 'witch' with being beheaded immediately. And aside from James white she had plenty of lovers some say as many as her husband but unlike him she rarely saw the same man twice- turning them all into dwarfs and making them leave the city, no dwarf would step foot into the city without a death wish. However there was an exception and that was Edmund, he no doubt was the most handsome of the men she had met, he had grace, charm, charisma and he was a man of good humour. He could have his way with any woman in the court but he chose not to chase any that were available and decided to make Arianna his knew interest. He knew it was a dangerous thing to pursue but he did it well and not too long as his plan began did Arianna fall for him as much as he fell for her.

Unfortunately there were three things that he had left out of the equation. One, Arianna was a witch. Two, she could never leave the kingdom without immediate death served by either the king or some creature who had a bias nature against witches. And three, that she was pregnant.

Arianna kneeled down beside her formal lover and tucked a stray hair behind his ear. She knew that being with child meant that James would recognise the child as not his. She would be sent for execution which she would somehow avoid. And she would never see Edmund again and he would try and find her but she couldn't have anyone not even the man she loved revealing to the world of her inhuman qualities.

"I will remember you; our child will rule the kingdom one day I swear. I will use a spell before I leave to make James believe the child is his own. My mirror told me it will be a girl" an uncharacteristic giggle escaped her mouth and a warm smile set on her face.

She looked down at Edmund's pale, ivory, face cold from all the life leaving him and put her hand to her stomach. "Our daughter will have skin as white as snow. Like yours." She said chanting. She looked at the ruby stains now covering Edmunds body. "Her lips shall be the colour that matches your blood." She looked deep into his grey eyes and saw her eyes reflection, the vivid lilac and the cloudy fog colours blended to create a soft rose. "Her cheeks shall blush fuchsia as the colour our eyes make together"

She felt a cold wind blow into the room. She looked up and curtsied to the large, hooded figure in front of her. He was a legend of nightmares that brought fear to almost anyone, but Arianna had seen him before and was not frightened. The figure bowed his head in a small nod. Then the figure revealed a long bony arm from under his beautiful obsidian cape and outstretched it above the body. Edmunds shape lifted off the ground and disappeared as soon as his skin made contact with the strangers arm.

"Our daughter will have hair the same ebony as deaths cape." She whispered her last chant and fainted as most witches do after a strong spell
