The Christmas Snow Princess

CADEN SIX

This was beyond beauty. In fact gorgeous. He stood there still as she stood up and cautiously walked to him. Caden saw her red lips moving but could not concentrate on her words.

His mind was busy absorbing the beauty in front of him. Red hair, green eyes, fair skin. All her features were totally different from every ones.

Seeing how sadness cloud her face, Caden came out of his trace. Even though he did not hear a would she spoke, he held her wrist when she was about to turn around and said “You are beautiful” with a smile.

The sadness instantly vanished replaced with the brightness and smile he saw earlier as she asked what his name is.

“Caden” Some how he knew she did not know who he was. Besides no one in the Kingdom does. Only his name is known but not face.

“Querida”

Her name is even beautiful. He thought as he stared at her. Caden was in thoughts about her when he heard her state “You are suppose to be here”

Seeing how tall the tower is and how she looks he already concluded he was not suppose to be here. He was confused though as why so he questioned  “Why have I not heard of you before”

Caden noticed how she winced but kept her smile. What she said angered him but he managed to keep it abay. “To the outside world I do not exist so please do not tell a soul. Promise.”

The feeling of not being able to live as you please is terrible. Caden knew how she felt but his was for a short time. He could not image living his whole life as a shadow.

“Promise on my title” he said without a thought. He then realized what he had said. It surprised him that she did not enquire further about the title.
What surprised him most was what she said instead

“You are very handsome. Like the prince in my books except you are better.”

Caden laughed at her words. “I will take that as a compliments so thank you. You are more than beautiful.”

He loved how she would blush whenever he complemented her. It seems she had never been told she was beautiful.

“Thank you Caden” she said. He likes how his name rolled of her tongue. He could listen to her silvery voice all his life.

It reminded him of her voice when she was singing. That is when it cross his mind. The people do not celebrate Christmas. I doubt if they no what it is. May be she is special. He thought.

So he asked “Why were you singing a Christmas carol.”

“What is a Christmas carol. I was only singing a song from a book I had found.” She went to her piano and picked up a book showing it to him.

Observing the book Caden was not surprise she did not know what it was. It was a book he had seen many to be thanks to his dear sister. A question that run through his mind was “How did she get the book”

Instead of asking Caden said “the song you sang is a Christmas carol….”

“ooh I never knew.”

The confusion on her face was pretty obvious. “Do you even know what Christmas is”

She sheepishly shook her head no saying “Can you please me”

Caden saw this as a chance to get to know her more. Most importantly why she looked different from everyone else.

“Only if you tell me about yourself”

“you want to know about me” it is amazing how her green eyes sparkled. Everything about her screams amazing, magical and special. Caden thought.

“Yes if possible I want to be your friend” Her green eyes kept on sparkling. Caden was loving it.

“yes yes yes……” Her hug was unexpected to Caden. He froze as she tightly huge him obvious of her actions.

It seems she realized what she had done when she pulled away apologizing “I…I am so sorry. I hope you still want to be my friend”

“Yes” he thought she might feel insecure a lot. Her next question proved his point.

“And you are not freaked out by the way I look” Her voice wobbled a bit.

He did not like it a bit and wanted to assure her. “I am not. Like I said you are beautiful. In fact you are gorgeous.”

“Ok” her word was barely a whisper which he could barely hear.

Caden just stared in her alluring eyes as she stares back. It was getting late and he had to get back before he was assumed missing. Knowing his mother she would go over board. He really wanted to stay with her.

“I better be going before someone notice I am missing.”

“oh”

Seeing how she was nibbling on her lower lip she did not want him to go. He felt happy inside.

“I promise to come back tomorrow” he assured but he could see she was not convinced.
Caden did not know what prompt him to move closer and kissed her forehead. He was glad he did when saw her brighten up and blush again.

“See you soon” he heard as he climbed down the tower.

Caden hid the hook line. All his life he had never felt this happy. He only hope tonight was not a dream.

“Maybe mother was right a Christmas Miracle can happen  after all.” He laughed thinking of her words.
