Fire and Ice

Chapter 1

Winter was pondering through the woods- through her woods. Here was where she could be free. Nobody could hunt her down here. Her part of the woods continuously snowed and ice. Winter had the power of, well, winter. She could control ice and snow. She was a hunted supernatural, and she believed to be the only one. She sighed as she grazed her thin, pale hand against a trunk of a tree. Frost followed her gentle fingertips. Her white hair floated lightly in the breeze that had start until *crunch* was heard in the snow. Her head turned quickly as her blue eyes scanned the area. "H-hello...?" Her voice cracked a little, but it was sweet and soft like snowflakes falling nonchalantly. The female kept her eyes on the lookout as she travelled slowly as she neared the scared breathing behind some bushes. Suddenly, a boy with red-brown fell out. His eyes were brown, and they were filled with fear just as hers. "Pl-please don't hurt me..." Winter insisted as she flinched back. A couple cold tear clouded her blue eyes.
"If you don't hurt me..." The boy replied and gazed up at her. "Why is it snowing here...?" Winter was reluctant to answer the question. "I-I control snow..." His eyes widened as more fear grew in him. "A-and ice..." She added quietly.
"N-no! I got to get out of here!" He tried to scramble to his feet.
"A-are you scared of me...?" Her eyes watered and a tear fell out. When the tear hit her face, it froze. The male didn't have time to reply as fire started to melt the snow and lick his hands. Winter was mesmerized by the flames, and she kneeled down to get a better look. "Whoa..." She whispered, but he quickly clenched his fists and put the fire out. "C-can I see that again?" He raised an eyebrow slightly and hesitated.
"Won't this hurt you more?" The boy was obviously concerned since she was a fragile as ice.
"I-I'll stay back here..." The girl whispered, still dazed by the beauty of fire as she scooted back a little. He then opened his hand and fire danced around in his palm. The flames reflected in her eyes as she watched carefully. He soon put it out, and questioned her.
"What's your name?"
"M-my name is Winter... What about you...?"
"Jake." Jake replied as a slim smile spread on his face. His eyes flickers orange just like a flame flickered to life. Winter felt a deep connection with the boy of fire- she liked the sound of that. She couldn't explain it, and she didn't dare say a word about it.
"I-I can lead you out of this part of the f-forest... O-or I have a c-cabin a ways back..." Winter rocked on her toes a little as she waited for a reply.
"Could I have a room please? I can't let them find me." The ice girl smile faintly and nodded quickly.
"J-just follow me."
