In the heart of the forest sat a girl. She was the embodiment of a void with long, thick, wavy white hair that tumbled down her back and around her pale face. Her bottomless eyes were as white and clear as marble with no color, marking her as a daughter of a demon. Sitting on a rock near a shallow pond, she appeared to be waiting for someone. Soon, the trees to left of her rustled and parted, giving way to a young man who was the exact opposite of her. His midnight black hair was pulled back in to a short ponytail, and his mischievous, obsidian colored eyes brimmed with love when he saw her. "Sarenth," he called softly. Turning to face him, Sarenth's face broke into a wide and joyous grin, exposing her sharp fangs, "Astrael!" she whispered. "You made it! I thought you weren't going to be able to come!" she cried softly as she ran to embrace him. He laughed softly into her hair, "Silly Dove, I would never miss a chance to see you. You are more precious to me than my own life." Sarenth sighed as she cuddled closer to her forbidden love. As they sat and talked she thought back to the first time her love and she had met.
