Part 2

He soon reaches a flowing creek, and on the other side is a beautiful young maiden, quietly singing, washing her hair in the ice-cold water. Moon gasps at the sight, his eyes widening.

"Miss? What are you doing out here in the cold?" He calls out to her, staring at her. She quickly looks up at him, staring deep into his crystal blue eyes with her own fiery, burning gold eyes. She quickly looks away, covering her chest. Her skin is pale and looks cold to the touch, her lips and fingers a slight blue. "Quick, quick, come to me, I'll warm you!" He opens his arms for embrace, wanting to help her, though, also unable to stop thinking about her beauty, not even beginning to question her existence here out in the cold dark night.

Despite instantly seeing the sinful greed in the man's eyes, Saori crosses the creek and comes to the man, letting him pull her into his arms, close to his chest. He rubs her back and pulls her under his cloak. "Thank you." She whispers, staying close to him.

I can't help but to notice her beauty... Moon thinks to himself. Quickly, he scoops her up in his cloak, pulling her closer. "I will make you my bride!" He cackles, taking her away to a nearby cave he had saw not to far off in the woods... He sets her down, she attempts to fight him, but his grip is far too powerful for her weak form. He ties up her limbs, pulling his cloak over her. With his small candle he manages to create a fire to keep the two warm. The cave is filled with sounds all through the night, Saori giving up the fight, letting Moon overpower her. By morning she has passed out, and so has Moon...
