I beamed happily as I slipped through a field of sunflowers. I could the warmth of the sun on my face as pulled on the petals of one flower, smiling at their silky touch. I sighed as I sank to the ground, lying down onto my back. After taking one final smell of the fragrant leaves, I closed my eyes. I felt my body relax as my thoughts floated to Ivan, of his smiling face. It's been so long… I can't wait to see him! I sighed happily as I recalled the way his lips felt on mine. I was so caught up in the thought of him that I didn't notice something poke my face. With a hiss of annoyance, I batted it away, just to have it poke me again. I opened my eye slightly, only to jolt into an upright position. The field had disappeared, in its place a forest. Shivering slightly from the cold, I got to my feet, taking in my surroundings. There was snow on the ground, with some bare patches revealing dead grass and dirt. The trees were charcoal black with branches that reached high into the dark sky and were laced with snow. There were tree stumps everywhere with long roots coiling up from the dirt. There was a sharp tangy smell in the air. Timidly, I took a step forward, try to find a source for the poking. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw movement. I whipped around, bolting straight for the thing. It squeaked and ran. With a slight chuckle, I raced after it, only to suddenly trip, landing face first into the snow. Coughing, I turned to see a root tangled around my ankle. I started to pull at it, only to jump back when it started moved. The root started tightening its grip as it snaked slowly up my leg. I started shaking my leg violently and tugging on it, just to have the root start moving up my arm. I was about to cry out when a hand clamped over my mouth. Shaking, I turned around, only to feel instantly relieved. The hand dropped and I smiled up at a familiar pair of violet eyes.

"Ivan!" I tried to move closer to him but he put his finger to his lips. He then leaned over to my ear and whispered quietly.

"Dear… you shouldn't be here…" I shook my head.

"I didn't mean to… I just sort of appeared." Ivan finally let out a slight smile as he glanced down at my leg and arm. I did too and gasped. The root had spread up to my other leg and shoulder. I turned back to Ivan, my eyes pleading for help. With a nod, he slipped out a sickle from his coat and started cutting the roots on my arm. It let out a hiss and started unraveling slightly. He chuckled and he worked his way down. My heart flickered as his gloved fingers brushed against my skin, wishing I wasn't wearing such short shorts. When the final roots crept back into the ground, he wrapped his arms around me, burying his face into my hair.

"Why are you so troublesome?" I smiled and tried to lean back into him, until I felt something cold and sharp against my side. I jumped, glancing over to see that Ivan was still holding the sickle. And it was digging into my side. Confused, I slapped the knife thing from his hand while slipping out of his arms. I then flipped around to face him. He was watching me with bored eyes and a small smile on his face. "You can't sit still, can you?" He stood up and smiled down at me. Right before my eyes his hair began turning into a darker brown, his eyes into a blood red. His coat started to turn into a black similar to the trees. His scarf became a similar blood red to his eyes as it streamed behind him. Surprised by this sudden change, I stumbled backwards to the ground. He let out a chuckle as he walked closer and grabbed my wrist, pulling me closer. "Though I can see why Ivan adores you." I tried to struggle out of his grip but like the plant, it tightened.

"W-who are you?" He smiled slightly as his other hand brushed against my cheek.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" He chuckled as he leaned closer and pressed his lips against mine, while slashing something cold against my chest. Suddenly feeling dizzy, I crumpled against him. I glanced down at my T-shirt as it started turning red. Though I hoped it was just his scarf. As my sight blackened, I feebly glared at him. His eyes where shining brightly as he smiled, revealing sharp teeth. "Tell Ivan I said hi."
