A Romantic Winter?
Introduction
Welcome, to the introduction of my new Jill X Skye (just as promised) story, 'A Romantic Winter?'. This pairing is probably my second favourite at the moment and I decided after writing a one-shot for them I would write a long story. When I say long I mean an equivalent to 'A Green Dress and a Flaming Bandana' which is currently 26 chapters and is still not finished. So it's a long road ahead. Well that's all for now so please read and review and remember I don't own the game or any of the characters. Thanks guys.
The sky was black, as black as coal. Across it, sprinkled tiny diamonds which glistened by the light of the full moon. A harsh Icy wind blew down the silent streets of Forget-Me-Not Valley, not a soul in sight.
The paths were frozen, the tree's branches stooped from the weight of the fallen snow. A large cloud loomed in the distance, moving swiftly in the breeze. Every now and then an occasional snowflake would swirl past accompanied by the chilling wail of the wind.
Suddenly the bar door flew open, a warm yellow glow shining out onto the pavement, the silhouette of a rather petite girl heading out into the cold.
'Take care now Jill.' Two rather different voices harmonised, the girl giving a simple smile and continuing on. When the bar door closed it was dark once again. An old street lamp flickered a little but didn't provide much help.
The brunette stared up at the sky folding her arms across her chest tightly. She shivered a little and then marched on with her head down. Her shoes echoed on the cold solid pavement as she went, only adding to the eerie atmosphere.
She wouldn't have to travel far as the entrance to her farm was merely a few yards away, but on that particular night it felt like miles.
Her dark chestnut hair was tied tightly into a ponytail which blew off to one side, her cheeks were rosy from the bitter cold and her eyes stared at the ground ahead of her watching every step.
She pictured her cosy bed which awaited her picking up the pace a little almost breaking into a run. Her mind was so distracted that she almost collapsed with fright when an unexpected voice spoke.
'Good evening beautiful maiden,' It said smoothly. Jill gasped, her hands clenching into fists, her lips slightly parted. Footsteps approached her out of the darkness and into the small orange glow of the footpath. 'Isn't it a little late for a delicate creature like you to be out at this hour?'
Jill blinked furiously, frozen to her spot and lost for words. In front of her now stood a tall man wearing maroon pants and a long sleeved, grey leopard print shirt. His skin was incredibly pale and almost matched the snow which lay around them. His long silver hair blew across his beautiful sea green eyes as he stared back at Jill waiting for a response.
'I…I-I…' She stuttered still gazing at him wide-eyed. The man smirked burying his hands deep in his pockets and clearing his throat. She stayed silent for a few more moments, their eyes locked together as if they were reading each other's thoughts. 'I'm no maiden.' She finally spoke up, a smile playing on her lips.
The man shook his head and chuckled.
'Well whatever you are, I don't think the streets, at this time of night, with a guy like me, is particularly safe.'
Jill's expression turned blank, a hint of worry in her eyes.
'But don't fret my angel,' He reassured 'For I shall not harm you. But now I suggest you hurry on home and we shall meet again in the stars.'
Jill raised an eyebrow and turned to walk off, she then turned back to say goodbye to the poetic stranger she had randomly bumped into, but he had fled.
Okay so there's the introduction. Please review and the first chapter shall be up soon. Thanks.
