Silver Blood

Chapter 9

       Snow woke up in the morning and went to the shed. Preparing to fix the roof, she wore a cloth to cover her hair while she works. She was bringing new planks and cutting it with a saw, she was sawing it, but it took a longer time than average because her saw was getting dull from all the work, right when she was done, she climbed the ladder and she pulled out the old nails using a hammer, and pulled the plank down and threw it to the ground. She continued fixing the roof, and once she was done, she continued the next part of the roof. It was a hot day, and it made her sweat a lot.

A lady came walking toward Snow's house, she saw her, and started calling her. "Is that my friend, little Snowy? What are you doing on top of the roof dear?"

"Fixing the damned roof, can't you see?" she told her, she continued hitting the hammer on the roof, "oh poor little Snow, why not ask those strong guys, like Edwin, Jonathan, or Ulrich? They could help, if you offer a bit of pie to them," the lady said, walking closer to her house.

"Don't come near, this is a construction site," she said, trying to make her move further from her, "I am busy, I am not in the mood to have some talk with some random men in the town," Snow said, she nailed the planks as quickly as she could.

"Well, have you heard about Elina, the prettiest girl in the village is going to choose a suitable suitor soon?"

"Suitor, husband, whatever, and it doesn't concern me, because I am not in the mood to even go close to courting," she said, hitting the planks. "Unless, there's a boy who doesn't care about a barren wife, in this entire town, probably I'll reconsider."

"Ooh, how hurtful is that to say to a man, they all want pretty ladies who will help them. Well, some don't, each people have unique tastes you see," she said.

Snow rolled her eyes, she stopped nailing the plank and looked at the lady, "tell me what you came here for, and probably let me free."

"Oh, you see, we were thinking of choosing a husband for you, since you seemed to be very beautiful, and still young enough to get married."

"I saw this coming a mile ago," she said, finishing one of the last planks and she sat at the edge of the roof, "I am a barren woman, and I don't deserve to get married to any men, who want a heritage."

"Well, nobody actually knows about that right?" the lady said assuring her.

"Nobody wants to marry a woman, who can't sit still, and I am going to be fine this way, and I hope you understand my situation."

"Well, are you done with the roof?" the lady asked.

Later on, she was brought the town square, because she gave in, she decided just to see who was the people that she was going to get introduced to, the lady brought her to the group of woman in the town, "oh no, Snow, you shouldn't wear that, you will look hideous that way," Mrs. Elena said, she was the prettiest lady in the town, as she had gorgeous blonde locks, her dress looked expensive with it laces and it maroon colours.

"Come on, we need to get you dressed up nicely, you can't just do this," she said, pulling Snow arm, "I don't care, I like wearing my red scarf, and my apron, and my shirt, and everything I am wearing!" she shouted, but it seemed like Mrs Elena ignored what she said, and brought her to her house.

Meanwhile, the werewolves were preparing for tomorrow, they were collecting woods, in their base deep in the woods. It seemed that werewolves were divided into groups collecting items inside.

"Alpha, did you call me?" Matt asked.

"Listen, Matt, you are like my own son," Lireid said, Lireid was holding a cane while sitting on top of a crate.
