      There they stood. Face to face. Both appear pure as day though neither truly are. Though.. Only one pair of hands are dirtied.
      "Why?" He asks so softly to her. "Why not allow me to take of this?" Her eyes never break from his as a fierce passion swarms through her being. Tightening her bloody fists, she sighs and tells him what was always on her mind.
       "Because one like you should never lose such purity. Someone who has never seen death first hand should never be one to deal death out to others. I have seen and now I have done both. You may wish that you had ended but I am glad to say you did not. You are someone I wish to keep from the world of cruelty and brutality.

In most stories told, it is the man that takes the spot of the monster but I will not allow that for you. You are my Guardian Angel so let me your Death Demon. You will bring Light. I will bring Dark. You are Peace. I am Chaos. You are Life. I am Death.

That day and that day alone will I harm another because you are my love and no one shall ever harm you." She bows her head and nods silently. With a small smile playing at his lips, he lifts her before carrying her off to be cleaned and loved.

      ''You may see yourself as the wolf, yet I see my strong little red riding hood who has overcome the monster from within..."
