Okay, so I took forever to update, and I couldn't be more apologetic. I couldn't think of how to get this working, so I'm going to try this method. Not your typical fairy tale, but enjoy.

Seth held one of her cold motionless hands between his. Stroking her pale skin gently, memories of the last few months swam in his head. It seemed like just yesterday that she came to his door. They were hostile and cold towards one another, but that didn't cease the fact that she entranced him.

He thought of the night when he found her crying in her room. He felt so much empathy for someone who lost all that he had. Seth had never felt the same way about anyone. His chest hurt, thinking of all the pain that they had both had to live with for all their lives. However, he couldn't help but notice how beautiful her eyes glimmered when she cried.

Love was a dangerous thing, he had been told. He never knew that it could be this dangerous. Manipulative, even. He had memorized every edition of the law books cover to cover, but he still broke the biggest one there was. He could not love. How could it be true? How could he help it? Love wasn't something he could control. She was so beautiful, angelic. How could he not kiss her?

He remembered all the fear of last night. How scared she had seemed. He had tried to be true, and protect her. He did his best, but his best hadn't been enough. Why was it her that lay, mangled on the bed before him? She didn't deserve it, he did. Why was she the one to die?

That's it. All he needed was one last kiss. He bent down, her ruby lips shining in contrast to her pale cheeks. Their lips touched, a familiar sensation. However, it seemed almost. . . empty. The silence was eerie as he returned to the presence. As he pulled away, he noticed something that he hadn't before. One of her eyelids fluttered. 'Impossible,' he thought. 'I can't go hallucinating. I have to snap out of this.' However, when it happened again, he began to wonder if his hope really was false. . .
