Kitty stood at the top of a grand stair case. Below was a ballroom full of people in elegant dress. She wore a long flowing gown. It was blue with silver and gold embroidering. She wore her hair up in a pony tail. She wore make up and a large pendant.
Slowly she descends the stairs and walks over to Scott. He stands in the middle of the ballroom. A white shirt under a blue blazer. The blazer was embroidered with gold in the shapes of flowers and vines. Kitty walked straight at him as if to talk to him but she was stopped by a elderly woman.
"That is not the way you approach a prince Katherine," the older woman demanded in a hard tone.
"Grams I told you call me Kitty everyone else does," Kitty complained " and why should I care what a prince thinks of me?"
"Because my Katherine some day if all goes according to plan you and that young man will be married," the woman said an evil smiles on her lips.
"Do these plans include if I love him," Kitty demanded.
"Oh course not that doesn't matter what so ever. Why did you ask such a silly question," the woman asked seriously.
"It matters to me," Kitty said under her breath.
Rogue sat helpless on the side of a dirt road. It was snowing and there was no one in sight. Rogue was being to lose all hope of her parents coming to find her. She huddled in the trench coat. She breathed on her gloved hands.
"Damn does it get any colder than this," she said. And with that she got up and walked out into the road.
"Great I have not idea where I'm going. How I going to get there. Well if I do leave out this ice storm what am I going to do. Ummmm…talking to yourself must be the first sign that your going insane then talking in a third person must be the second sign," Rogue said aloud to herself "Hey if I'm going to die I may at least have some fun."
She then started to skip down the empty road not caring about much. She never did hear the horse come up behind her. She was just skipped along in a happy daze then suddenly the horse was running at a good speed at her. The rider pulled the reins trying to make horse stop but the horse shoes it wore were to slick to stop on the ice. It slide at the her instead of stopping.
"Kid look out," the rider yelled thorough the wind.
Rogue heard something and turned around and screamed. The horse tried to buck but just slid faster. Rogue screamed and tried to get out of the way of the horse. But couldn't back it.
The rider pulled the horse to the side using his body. The horse swerved just barely missing her. Then it fell onto its side. She heard the sound of crushing bones as the horse landed on it's master. She gasped sure no one could live thorough that.
Logan woke up with the horse on his legs. He waited for a moment for his arms to heal. Then he moved the horse of him and waited for his legs to heal. They did. The bones refitting themselves together in a manner of minutes. He got up and looked at his horse. Dead as a door nail.
"Shit second one this week," he swore. He turned around to look at the girl " How are you going to repay me for this?"
She looked shocked and scared. "But…..but I saw the horse land on you. I heard your bones crack." she stuttered.
"You didn't hear nothing you understand. You didn't hear nothing', see nothing' so you can't say nothing'," he said with a growl in his throat.
"I guess…not k huh," Rogue looks confused.
"So you got any money," Logan asked.
"No," Rogue said.
"Shit then how are you going to repay me for the horse," he growled realizing how freaking cold it was out.
She looked at him confused then rolled her eyes "I can't repay you," she said and started to walk off.
"Yes there is," he said.
"Now look here I can't," she said then turned around to have a bag thrown in her face.
"You can take the place of my horse," he said. I hate kids but it's better then carrying my own bag he thought. He looked over to the girl. Why do I have the feeling I'm going to be stuck with her for a while.
