A shadowy figure flitted through the trees. Resting on a tall, thick tree branch it crouched down. Looking down below at the snow covered forest floor, it spotted a young girl walking through the forest calling out.
"Gaara! You know they don't hate you." the girl tried to reason.
"Yes they do." The figure spoke from above the girl's head.
"Why would they?" the girl asked softly.
"Because. I'm a monster." Gaara spoke with a harsh voice.
"You are not a monster." the girl said looking around for the hidden figure that was Gaara.
"Yes I am." Gaara said insistently. "Quick you have to leave." He yelled urgently.
"Why?"
Gaara sighed at the stubborn girl. Then again that was what had attracted him to her. As he jumped off the branch, moonlight spilled across his face illuminating his pale features.
"You're perfect the way you are." The girl answered finally.
"Rose!" Gaara hissed which showed off his elongated canine teeth.
Rose looked at him in shock and fell to the snow floor, sobbing. Gaara turned and started to walk away from the sobbing girl. Rose stood up and turned around to face Gaara.
"YOU PROMISED!!!!!!!" She shouted at him. Gaara stopped and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and turned towards Rose and was shocked when he saw her crying but smiling.
"You promised that there was no such thing as demons." She said smiling widely. Gaara looked surprised. His jaw dropped, then closed and he smirked. He walked towards Rose.
"I couldn't tell you the truth." he said when he was barely an inch from her. He looked down and smiled.
"Why not?" Rose asked stubbornly. Gaara had to slightly laugh.
"What?" Rose prodded Gaara shoulder.
"Your stubbornness-its the main part of you that I love." He said
"Pardon?" Rose didn't believe what she had heard.
"I love you. But I thought if I told you, then you would think you only liked me because I was manipulating your mind." Gaara said their faces almost touching.
"You love me?" Rose asked breathlessly.
"Of course I do." Gaara said then kissed the petite but fiery girl.
