Pain. THat was the first thing Kevin felt when he opened his eye. His body hurt all over, but most of the pain came from the left side of his head. He felt bandages on that side of his face. Then it came back to him; that girl, the Will of the Abyss, took his eye and gave it to her lightly touched the bandages and groaned, it wasn't just another nightmare, this was real. Then he questioned, where was he? Was he still in the Abyss?

"Oh you're awake." A voice like small, tinkling bells shook him out of his thoughts. He looked to the side and saw a white haired girl with eyes the color of a cloudless sky. Her white hair was very long and seemed to glow in the morning light. Her skin was as pale as snow and her white and light blue dress compliemented this. All these attributes gave the girl an etheral, almost inhuman appearance. Kevin remembered her from the Abyss. She had been hiding in a corner when he had met the Will of the Abyss.
She smiled, "I'm glad you woke up. Miss Shelly, Sharon and I were begining to worry."

Kevin's red eye narrowed," You... you're a chain from the Abyss, aren't you?"

The snowflake gave a surprised look, as if she hadn't expected such a question, "Um... Y-yes I am." She started to blush, "But I'm not very strong... Oh! I haven't properly introduced myself yet, have I?"

Despite Kevin's silence, she went on, "My name is Snowdrop, and your name is Kevin, right? That's what Alyss called you..." Her blush grew deeper.

Kevin sat up, "Why are you not in the Abyss?"

"Don't you remember? You made a contract with me, Kevin-Sama."

Kevin gave a startled look, he didn't remember making a contract with this girl, this chain.

Snowdrop could see from his expression that he didn't, "Well, it doesn't matter if you don't, because Snowdrop is here to serve Kevin-Sama!" She simled and glanced down shyly.

"Why should I trust you? How do I know you won't betray me?"

"Because," Her eyes met his one eye, "I am shy, quiet, weak, and easily scared. Chains like me don't last long in the Abyss... But you made a contract and saved me! I owe you everything. Snowdrop would never try to hurt you, because I'm happy to serve you and help you in any way I can."

"You said you're weak, so how would you help me if i came into danger? You'd just be someone I'd have to protect, therefore, a thorn in my side."

Snowdrop looked down, but she smiled, "I know I wouldn't be able to help fight, but I would find some way to be useful. If I had to, I would take every enemy blow, to keep you safe. Snowdrop's life is your's, so you can do as you will with it."

Kevin stared at Snowdrop, for how long he didn't know. This chain was being sincere. He sighed and looked away, "Very well, I will allow you to stay with me, but you will do as I say and be loyal only to me and those I serve, understand?"

Snowdrop's face lit up, "Yes Kevin-Sama," She stood up and moved from her chair to his bed and sat next to him, "The first thing Snowdrop will do to help you is adjust your bandages."

Kevin sat silently, allowing Snowdrop to redo the bandaging on his face. He then asked, "Where am I?"

"We are in the Rainsworth's mansion. Miss Shelly, little Miss Sharon, and Mr. Liam are here as well."

He sighed, "I don't know any of those people."

Snowdrop finished adjusting his bandages. She took a brush from his bedside table and began brushing the tangles out of Kevin's long white hair, "You'll meet them soon, and don't worry, they're very nice people. They helped Snowdrop look after you while you were asleep." After she brushed out the tangles in Kevin's hair she pulled it into a loose ponytail, "Is there anything else Snowdrop can do for Kevin-Sama?"

"No." Kevin made a mental note about Snowdrop: she seemed eager to please him.

"Okay, then may Snowdrop ask Kevin-Sama a question?"

"I don't see why not."

"Why..." She brushed some stray hairs out of Kevin's face, "Why do you think you made a contract with me?"

"I don't know, but if I remember, I'll tell you."

The little snowflake started blushing again "Th-thank you, Kevin-Sama."
