Reader 's POV :

Rose 's eyes widened in pure , unadulterated fear , her heart pounding in her chest as she feared the worst for Victoria . Quickly getting to her feet , she limped over to the corridor , her body trembling and grasping onto the stair railing as she tried to steady herself . As she peeked down the stairs , her breath caught in her throat as she muffled a small sob of despair . Tears streamed down her cheeks as she held onto the railing with one hand for support , the pain in her knee and her own fear starting to overcome her . 

Victoria 's POV :

''Ugh.. that was irritating..''  I groaned , putting the gun on the kitchen counter and stretching my arm' s , acting as if it was a normal daily thing, this 'incident' , I heard someone winced in pain , slowly taking baby steps down the stairs , trying to be as quiet as one can be .  '' Who' s there ? Come out goddammit ! '' The angry sound of my voice filled the room , a deep , seething rage that echoed in the empty chamber . My quick , efficient movements to pick up the gun showed how focused I am , my aim laser-like as I raised it to the mysterious person .

☆☆☆☆

I heard the footsteps coming closer , noticing my little amor in front of me , I quickly put my gun down , hurrying over to her and hugging her , covering her eyes gently and placing gentle kisses on her neck , distracting her from the dead body right in front of her own eyes . ''Is everything okay mi amor ? ''  The soft sound of my smile filled the room as I continued to cover Rose 's eyes with my hand . Even in the darkness , her eyes widened in surprise and anticipation , her heart racing at the sound of your voice and the warmth of my touch . Even in the dim , she could feel my slim , pale fingers on her face ..

Reader's POV:

''H-Hah.. '' Rose panted heavily , crying still and staying on edge . Rose stood there , her world spinning , her heart racing as she tried to make sense of the sudden contact with Victoria . Still weak in the knees from the gunshot , she couldn 't believe what was happening . Her mind raced as she tried to piece together what was happening and why Victoria was holding her like this . Her heart pounded in her chest as she tried to steady herself , her eyes wide open , searching for some sort of explanation . 

''V-Victoria.. that gunshot.. did you g-get hurt? ''  she mumbled , her voice shaky and croaky from crying , her breathing slowed down and heavy , whimpering in fear slightly still while trying to get her breathing back to normal . ''It was fine mi amor, my gun ' accidentally ' went off . ''  Victoria 's soft laugh filled the room , a warm , cozy sound that added to the tense atmosphere . Her embrace was like a warm , soothing blanket , and the gentle , circular motions of her palm on Rose 's back were like the gentle lull of the ocean waves , soothing and relaxing .

''Why don 't we get you something to eat and you go rest in bed mi amor? ''  Victoria 's gentle touch and soothing words helped to calm Rose 's racing heart and steady her nerves . As Victoria left her , Rose took a moment to catch her breath and collect her thought 's , her body still weak from the incident the previous day . Victoria leaned back against the wall , taking a deep breath as she tried to shake off the lingering effects of the murder previously .

The soft light of the morning sun filled the room , casting bright rays through the window and onto the bed where Rose laid . She stared out the window , admiring the Wintery Wonderland scene , the snow-covered trees and the peaceful , quiet beauty of the world outside . Despite the lack of animal life, she still found deep comfort in the scenery , the soft , tranquil quality of the morning light giving her a sense of warmth and peace .

''So pretty..'' Rose mumbled under her breath , her eyes still focused on the beautiful winter wonderland outside . She admired the snow-covered scenery , the almost frost-like coating on the Japanese apricot trees outside that just happened to be blooming during the winter months . She couldn 't help but find the whole scene breath-taking and beautiful , her mind filled with a sense of awe and admiration for the natural world around her .

''Just like you , mi amor! '' Victoria smirked devilishly , walking over to Rose and placing a tray with a boiling , steaming hot Gohan along with Shiru , a nicely boiled miso soup to warm her up on a cold wintery , snowy day like this . Victoria quickly placed a cup of luke-warm green tea next to Rose on the bed side desk . ''Thank you Victoria.. I hope you didn't have too much hassle making this for me..'' Rose smiled, her lips quivering from the cold , her lips a crimson red colour , making her face one that is distinctive during Winter .

Victoria knew that Rose didn 't like eating much in the morning , due to the fact it made her feel sickly having digested so much so early and quickly .  This is one of the only reason 's Victoria didn 't mind Rose living with her, she was never a hassle and brought nothing but love into Victoria 's dark , gloomy story.

''If only you knew mi amor .. '' Victoria thought to herself, sighing and sitting down onto the bed alongside Rose .
