Hate to Love- chapter 12
Meeting each other
Disclaimer: Some characters that you recognize aren't mine, they belong to tamora pierce, those that u don't recognize, they belong to me.
A/N: the length of each character's view is quite short for this chapter, but I will put up 2 or 3 (if I have time) views of it. Ok?
The princess trudged through the snow, shivering more by every minute she spent outside in the cold. She did not have a strong immunity system since young and got sick easily.
I better not get sick this time, I didn't bring the medicine. Mithros, help me. Don't let me fall ill.
As the strong and cutting wind blew, Mal sneezed. And sneezed.
In the distance, Yaven heard the sneezes.
Who could it be? Mithros, it had better not be someone from Tortall who recognizes me.
Then, the sneeze came again.
I had better go check it out, before whoever that is finds ME out!
So, Yaven stealthily crept towards the source of the sneezes, and peeked his head over a snow-covered rock.
Oh, it's a girl. What's a girl doing on the mountain in the middle of winter? (A/N: It is NOT the middle of winter, just an expression that Yaven's using)
As he got up to leave, Yaven brushed against a rock and half-yelped as he fell onto the think and limb-numbing snow.
Malrina heard the yelp that Yaven gave out and immediately spun around, scrutinizing the environment. "who's that? She called.
Yaven decided to make him known since the mystery girl already knew that he was there. He stood up unsteadily on his feet and tried to balance himself. It was not easy to get up on snow, snow which was cold enough to numb your fingers.
Malrina watched unbelievingly as a man stood up slowly. She had not really expected a real person here, in the mountains when winter was quickly approaching. For a while, she stared. She stared at the stranger's blue eyes. Eyes that mesmerized her.
Yaven too stared at the new lady's face. The shocked look on her face made her look prettier with bigger eyes.
She has beautiful eyes. Hazel eyes.
For moments, time was frozen as blue eyes met hazels and their gaze held.
Then, Malrina, remembering her manners, broke away shyly and looked at the ground.
"Who… who… are you?" she stuttered. She thought she had seen the man blush before she looked down and smiled lightly.
Yaven blushed when she looked away. Luckily, the bitter cold had made both faces bright pink, so the blush was not that noticeable.
"err… I'm.. errr… Melvin. Yeah, Melvin Meendi. Nice to meet you," he introduced, suddenly remembering the fake name that he told Derric Hangnimen.
"Oh, nice to meet you too, I'm Jasmina Terning," Mal said proudly, glad that she had thought to think of a fake name to cover her real identity when others asked.
A/N: I think I should stop here now, is that a cliffy? I'm not sure, oh wells… I suppose the next one will be up soon! REVIEW!
