Lilith's POV
She sat quietly, her cold, dead eyes staring out at the bleak, white expanse that lies just beyond the window. A fire crackled in the hearth; its flames creating a soft glow of light that danced upon her face illuminating her elegant, yet pale features. The fire provided little warmth for her though. There was too much worry that had settled on her heart for her to feel…feel anything at all. Its attempts to warm her were hopeless even as it warmed the rest of the quaint, country cottage.
Feeling a chill wrack her bones despite the fire beside her. She pulled the large fleece blanket even tighter around her frame and curled her body, bringing her knees to her chest as she sat on the cushioned window seat. Lilith continued to stare blankly out the window at the snow-covered hills. She wanted to know why. Why was she the one cursed with these horrible powers? They seemed to manifest themselves at the most inopportune moments.
Lady Luck never bestowed her gift on Lilith. No. Instead, she only cursed Lilith. Maybe, just maybe, one day something fantastically, brilliantly, amazingly wonderful would happen. But Lilith's more pessimistic side kicked in. Why should she even dream of that when nothing wonderful ever happened to her? And with that, she turned from the window and moved quickly to the hearth. She extinguished the flames and made her way up to the wooden stairs to bed, all the while asking herself; "Why me?"
Logan's POV
Logan stood at the top of the ridge and stared down at the small cottage that sat in the terrain between two snow-covered hills. He knew it belonged to a woman, a mystery woman, whom few had ever seen. As far as he knew, the lady locked herself away, convinced that she is a danger, a monster cursed with uncontrollable powers. He could smell fear, taste her sadness. This made things more difficult. Such obvious depression was not a good sign. Sure, for the girl, but also for his mission. He started the descent down from the top of the ridge into the valley below, his thoughts on what he was going to tell her. He had no idea how to get her to believe him, let alone trust him enough to come back with him. But it didn't matter, Logan had a mission and he would not fail.
