Through the Woods

Chapter 13

On my way to Elmore, things were dark and quiet. My life is just SO messed up right now.

Teenage years, classic.

I twisted my blonde locks in and out of my fingers, deep in thought. "Mom, Rose, Dad, Kenny, Snow...." I listed all the people I cared about. My eyes drooped and I began to cry. "Casey? Come on. We're going to go back to the palace now," I knew exactly who it was. "Yes please," I said quietly.

"What's the matter?" Snow asked me, dabbing a damp towel on my cheeks. "I can't do it," was all I managed to utter. "Can't do what?" Snow stood up with a hand on her hip. I noticed she was wearing black leather pants, with a leather sword holder thingie, and she actually had a sword in it. Her hair was tied in a messy bun, and her shirt was torn. REBEL SNOW WHITE!! Super- HOT!!! "You. Look. AMAZING." I said. "What's the outfit for?" "I'm going for Ingrid." she said.

"WHAT?!! NO!!" I screamed. "You'll get yourself KILLED!!" "She killed my baby, I'm going for her." she said. She headed for the door with her leather boots clacking. "NO!!" I said, grabbing her arm. Snow look back at me like she ha saw a disgusting dead rabbit.

That was BLEEDING.

She turned all the way around and grabbed my arms. "Casey, I will not allow that wrench to kill anyone else. Especially YOU. She already killed Rose. I will not let you get killed too. I love you, Cass."

Her blue eyes looked in mine.

I didn't know Snow loved me. "I..I..I love you too," I said. Her eyes teared up and she held my body against hers. She kissed my head. "Stay here," she said. "I love you,"

After that Snow left.

*LATER THAT DAY*

"Snow!!" I said when she walked in. I ran to her and she wrapped her arms around me. "She wasn't there." she said. "I'm sorry," I whispered. She looked at me. "Don't be sorry." she said. "I know where she is now. But I'm just too tired to look." She laid down on the couch. I kissed her forehead and put a blanket over her. "G'night Snow." I said. "Good night, Casey." she relpied.

I smiled. I am so staying here tonight. No Ingrid, no problems.

*THAT NIGHT*

Shuffle.. Shuffle.. Shuffle. I sat up in bed. "Snow?" I asked. I got up, wrapped a blanket around me, and walked to the main entrance hall. "Snow?" I asked again, looking on the couch.

She was gone. I began to worry. "SNOW?!" I asked, this time louder. "SNOW!!" I screamed. "No.. no, no. NO!" A hand slapped over my mouth. "Shut up, or I'll kill you,"
