Chapter One - In The Beginning there was Hate
"Why do you do this, Snow?! Why can't you just talk to me?!" Sereh snapped as she paced around the hotel room. Snow was sitting on the sofa infront of the coffee table watching his fiance's frantic movements. "Say something!" snow leaned forward wearily and rested his elbows on his knees.
"What do you want me to say?" He said in a subdued and calm voice. Sereh cursed and punched the wall. Snow winced a little bit, he was glad she hit the wall and not his face but damn that must've hurt!
"Anything! Just let me know you care, for fuck's sake!" Snow rolled his eyes.
"Not this again! Have we got to the bit where you accuse me of not loving you anymore?" Sereh's hands dropped down by her sides and Snow could tell he'd overstepped the mark.
"You're a dick!" She shouted. Snow looked down at the floor. He knew he should apologise, but he just couldn't. "Just tell me, Snow. Why won't you make love to me?" Snow felt a sudden wave of anger build up inside him. He slammed his fist down on the glass of the coffee table, making it crack under the force. sereh yelped and stared at him in silence.
"Why does it always have to be about you, huh?!" He rose to his feet and turned away from her.
"Y-you can't just leave me here! We came here to have a break, just the two of us!" Her voice was breaking up. Snow couldn't bring himself to look back at her. He was destroying her and he didn't even have the decency to look her in the eyes.
"I think i've had enough 'just you and me' for one day. I'm going home. He stormed over to the door and threw it open, leaving the love of his life bereft and heartbroken. After he'd slammed the door behind him, he didn't linger. He knew he had broken her. He knew she'd be crying. As he ran down the corridor he got a sense of self-loathing that had become all too familiar of late.
What the fuck is wrong with you?! He thought.

"Agh!" Hope fell against the pavement railing, clutching his side in agony. He staggered down the streets of bhodum, blinded by tears of pain. Looking down at his side, he saw the fabric of his gloves had become saturated with his blood.
"Are you ok?!" A passer by showed concern for him. "Oh my God, you're bleeding..." hope threw his hands out.
"get away from me!" He shrieked in a trembling, fear-struck voice. He mustered up all the strength he could and staggered away from the stranger, who had been unnerved by the boy.
"You need a doc..." hope pulled a blade out of his pocket and held it out timidly.
"No! Now get away from me!" The stranger backed away.
"I don't want any trouble, buddy!" He slowly backed away from hope, until he was a safe enough distance to break into a sprint.
"Ah!" Hope yelped as he fell back against the railing. He scanned the streets through blurred vision, dropping the knife weakly at his side.
You can't even run away properly? You're pathetic! He thought as he slid to the ground.

Snow wandered the dark streets, taking in a lungful of the crisp midnight air. His mind was so much clearer now, as it always was when it was too late to take back the things he said.
why do you act like that? After everything you did for her...she's the girl of your dreams...Right? Snow didn't like letting his thoughts wander, it never ended well. He was pulled from his shame-induced trance by a voice in the distance, that got louder with every step he took towards it. There was a guy walking on the other side of the road. snow cocked an eyebrow as he studied him. something was amiss. He kept looking behind him and he was frantically trying to explain something over the phone.
"That's what i'm saying, theres this boy, just a kid. He looks like he's been stabbed. I tried to help but he pulled a knife on me! The address? yeah its on the corner of brickworks and briar." snow stood on the other side of the road, trying to make sense of what he had heard.
Wait! He thought. The address he gave...it's just down the street! Snow broke into a sprint across the road. He ran to the end of the street and turned the corner. He scanned the street carefully and a first he didn't see anything. His heart skipped a beat as his eyes focused on a small shape slumped against a set of railings.
"Oh my god!" He muttered as he ran towards it. As he got closer a sense of cold dread rose in his stomach. As he approached he could see silver hair. He's only everknown two people with silver hair...and one of them was dead.

hope lay on the pavement. He'd abandoned the idea of applying pressure to his wound round about he'd abandoned all faith. he could see his breath clouding as it floated up and dispersed into the night. It was a terrifying thing, lying in a pool of your own blood all on your own watching your last shallow breaths dissipate into darkness.
is somebody...hugging me? hope could feel strong arms on his. He struggled to open his eyes, only to see the person he thought he'd never see again. He was the person who made all this happen to him.
"Hope! What the hell are you doing here?! What's happened to you?!" Snow stood up and took his coat off.
"S-snow?" Hope rasped, looking up. Snow draped his coat over the small boy.
"Don't try to talk. The police are on their way. Hope coaughed, spraying blood over his bottom lip.
"P-please, no!" Hope grabbed on to snow with surprising force, causing him to yelp in suprise. "Get me away from here. N-no police...p-please." Hope's grip on Snow's arm loosened completely and he went limp. Snow looked down at him and decided what he should do.
So, there you have it! Lot's of stuff happening that ur not supposed to understand yet. Please tell me what you think and then i'll know weather i should write more of it or not )
peace out xD -ThomasBlue.
