The creature walked away from the ship. The man, Walton, had been told the whole story and his creator had died after telling him. It was over now; he would go to the North Pole and destroy himself. He had lost the two things he had to live for, Christie's love and his creator's suffering. He kept walking all day before resting, and after walking a few miles the second day he spotted something in the distance, a blotch of brown. It would be his final meal he thought to himself, at least before he died he could feast like a king. He walked slowly but silently, soon coming upon the shaking form of brown fur. It looked more like a mercy killing to him. This creature was obviously malnourished it seemed so small and sagged under its own weight. He reached to grab its throat and strangle it when he made a small noise and the animal turned to look at him, making his hand stopping inches from its neck. He stopped because instead of looking at an animal he was looking into Christie's bright brown eyes. She glanced down at his hand before looking at him.

"Are you always going to look like you're about to strangle me each time we meet?" she asked, smiling some.

"Ch-Christie," creature mumbled, staring at her, shocked.

"Hello Rampel, still going after your creator?" she asked, standing from her huddled position, but was shaking horribly.

"He just recently died," he said, Christie smiled and moved closer to him.

"Why are you still going North then?" she asked, meeting his eyes. He saw no fear in them at all, but he saw something he had never seen directed at him before, acceptance.

"I was going to destroy something that should have never lived in the first place, me," he said, sadness filling her eyes.

"Please don't, if you're gone then I'll have nothing to live for," she said and hugged him tightly. Creature placed his hands on her back, filled with confusion on why this sweet and small child was relying on him.

"Why did you come back?" he asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" she asked, creature shook his head no and Christie made a movement for him to lean down. He knelt onto one knee then Christie pressed her lips to his, a kiss he had only seen humans give to the love in their lives. He didn't kiss back, not sure what to do, even though he wanted to, but Christie didn't seem to mind before she leaned closer and put her lips near his ear.

"I came back because I love you; everything you told me has been running threw my head. You just want to be loved and I'm the only one who has let their heart and mind be open to you," she whispered, voice cracking with emotion. "Don't hate me for leaving earlier, please don't. I should have understood how strong your emotions against your creator were," she said, voice straining. She leaned back, tears flowing freely down her cheeks. He stared at her for a bit, shocked at how a creature so perfect could cry for someone as wretched as him.

"You care this much about me?" he asked.

"Of course, like I said I love you. I love you so truly and deeply, the purest way women have loved men. Please Rampel I understand you can't be near humans so we can't be married but please let me be yours, I want you to love me as well," she said, taking one of his hands in hers but he quickly pulled it away and picked her up, cradling her small form close to his body.

"I never thought anyone would say that to me. I love you too Christie and I would love for you to be mine," he whispered and hesitantly kissed her, he felt her hand rest on his cheek and she gently moved her lips under his to kiss back.

So this was what love felt like. He could love and be loved. Such a perfect creature was his, he had discovered this small chance at happiness and now it was his. He was going to love her forever and treat him like his wife. He would never be alone and if he still lived once she departed this world maybe she would leave children behind for him. It was finally over, he was feeling what he never thought was possible for him. He felt happiness.
