The Snow Deal [First To The Fallen Savior Series] (Unedited Author's Edition, AKA First Snow)

❅ Chapter XVIII: Things Said and Done ❅

"Bree!" A voice from behind snapped me from my thoughts.

Turning I saw those aquamarines before wrapping my arms for his warm embrace. His eyes were not peaceful for long as his glance shifted to Levana and Mick, emitting a dangerous growls. Levana and Mick returned with hisses and growls as liquid trickled down my skin. Lightly touching his face, I pulled him close for a soft kiss. His claws retract before Levana and Mick back off with ease.

"So you're one of them." Bishop snarled, "The kind that turned their back upon the family they were to protect."

"Bishop," I blunted started, "It's not their-"

"NO, THEY'RE THE REASON MY FATHER IS DEAD. THEY'RE THE REASON WE'VE GOT THIS CONFLICT AND POSSIBLE WAR TO OCCUR UNLESS WE HAVE OUR MARRIAGE TO SOLIFY OUR WORLDS." Bishop inturpts with a venemous spat, "THEY'RE THE REASON YOUR MOTHER IS DEAD AND YOUR FATHER IS SLOWLY DYING."

Yanking myself out of his hold I silent kept my gaze on his eyes as my brows scrunched and my mouth became firm. My ball fists were trembling to refrain myself from bruising any of his flawless face. His aquamarines were widening as his hand reached for my fists. At that moment I felt my stone cold hand collide with his right cheek.

"Bree?" Bishop softly ask.

"I'm Princess Breenelle to you." I snapped.

"But-" He starts.

"Not another word," Raising my voice before my gaze fell hard, "You wish this marriage to avoid war, to make innocent creatures and lives forgotten. Lives like my own mother as she had laid pale and fragile right before my eyes."

Bishop began to get up before my fist hit his stomach as he laid once again on the ground before my voice became venomous, " you only wish this when your own half sister was an angel who was brutally murdered along with your own nephew. How the lives of human mean nothing when I've given up my wings to become one for the past three years. You, Prince Bishop Grey Saris, are nothing more than a coward covering his own tracks. As I would rather help these Bal' Pankadashans then your people."

Bishop's lips became firm and his eyes grew their midnight black darkness conquering his entire eyes. Quivering I covered my mouth as he approached before lifting his fist as my eye lids covered the sight before the impact. Only the growls and hissing could be heard as I let a slight peak to see Mick holding Bishop off.

"Take her somewhere safe now Levana!" Mick yelled.

"Let's go," Levana yells before jerking my arm to run as the other Bal' Pankadashans fought off Bishop.

Turning to the left I saw a complex of occupied apartments. Looking at her I was ready to voice my optimism of safety until her fingers snapped. The apartments then turned into a classical building that was built tall with the symbol of something never showed before in the texts. Bright titanium snowflake with an ebony path the curves with two small dots and then in the middle a whole moon. The words were then underneath translated to read 'House Of Edith Ann Saris, Daughter of Revolution'.

"This is..." I whispered softly.

"Edith's Santuary." Levana stated before softly adding,"Welcome home Princess."

Entering the house the outside had then disguise the beautiful, white crystal chandelier matching the silver tiles in the entry way. The grand staircase gliding up to the second floor as other Bal' Pankadashans were bustling around the house. Levana glided through as she headed up the stairs turning left into the hall.

"How long did this take to create such a wonderful paradise?" I wondered out loud.

"This took approximately nine months after you were born." Levana quietly explained, "As they wanted to keep you secured from the harshness of the world, including Zophiel."

The rest of the walk was silent until arriving to the only white door that was at the end of the hall. Opening the door revealed a bright white desk with a matching, white leather chair. for I could not believe the smile and eyes of the first person I ever hurt as a human.

"Reed?" I breathlessly questioned.

"Hello Breenelle." His deep voice boomed, " I didn't know how much longer I would have to wait until I could see you again."

My heart grew heavy as I dropped to my knees as my hands covered my eyes while letting out banshee cries. Warm hands held me strong as I was cradled gently, knowing I could ease my shoulders from suspicion. Looking I saw those same baby hues and bright gold hair looking back at me with that loopy smile. Shortly then my mind felt lighter before hold a hand to my head as the darkness seeped into my eyes, releasing into my never ending abyss.

I will find you Edith, if it's the last thing I do...

Echoes into my ears as the flashes of fire came upon the scene before see my mother's soft smile was fading along with the fire. the next figure was my kind father as a shadowy figure came behind and slit his throat. I try to lung forward, but nothing was compelled to my command only the tears to fall down my cheeks. My shows up shortly to check my father before being snatched by a cloaked figure, her screams echoing before she faded. shortly she returns pale and her stomach almost full grown with child as she wore a white wedding gown with her veil already removed and tears streaming down her face as the cloaked figure held her hand.

This will be the price you pay for her, Edith. choose by the next first snow or your host suffers the consequences.

The screams and cries from my people as Ebonmere while I stood helplessly watching. Simone then came from the fire smiling with Selene siting a chant. the ground crumbles before I'm release from the darkness.

Awakening I felt my skin burning in agony as I look to see the bright pink burns with cuts and scrapes trailing downward. My throat dried and filled with smoke, coughing as no cries of help escaped my lips. Just then the door breaks and my vision returns to darkness once more.
