Heart Of Ice

~~~~~~Damien's pov~~~~~~~~~

I looked out the window and saw a carriage pull up to the entrance. Oh grand the fiancé my no good father had arranged for me to marry in a few month. i hated that man I'm almost happy he's dead he was such a pain in the neck.. But unfortunately i still had to marry this girl being the air to the throne it was only fit plus i don't want to start a war by not marrying her so yeah...i walked out to greet her

"M'lady" i said as i bowed
"Oh um hi?" She said she seemed rather nervous
"Its a pleaser to have you here miss Nightingale" i knelt down and kissed her hand

She blushed but not the kind of blush that means you like/have a crush on some one it was more of a flattered blush or the kind of blush when you meet an aunt or uncle for the first time and don't know what to say. I could tell she was just as excited about getting married as i was. I stood up and looked at her she was rather short she could bearly see over my shoulder.

"Anyways welcome to my home shall i show you and you company around?"
"Oh um yes that would be lovely...."

I showed them all the better rooms in the castle some of the worst and eventually i had shown them all the rooms. Soon they all went off to set up her room. I sighed and started walking back to mine when i ran smack into someone. It was Jacklin... She was glaring up at me with her blood red eyes. She had her hair put up in a braid and a nice black and gold dress on that made her eyes look amazing. I hadn't noticed how pretty she was before but having her this close to me made me feel strangely warm...

"O-Oh sorry miss Jacklin" why was i stuttering
"Hmp!"
"Would you like me to move?"

She nodded and I backed away letting her pass. Why wouldn't she talk to me? Why did that hurt me? I sighed and walked back to my room. I sat down on my bed and looked at the music box that my grandfather had gotten me when i was small. He was like a father to me always looking out for my sister and i.. When he died i took it really hard i shut myself out tried not get attached to people. I guess that's why I'm such an ass.... I sighed and drifted off to sleep...

~~~~~~~~~~~Jacklin's pov~~~~~~~~~

I hope Jackson's doing okay i wonder if he's worried maybe he's looking for me or maybe he hasn't even woken up yet i wonder if he's doing okay..... I just wanna go home...
