My Snowy Snowy Wolf

Chapter 21

"Sophia" The voice was both chiding and pleading. It sounded so close yet so far. I gritted my teeth in frustration.

"Show yourself," I demanded, there was nothing before me, it was as if i was trapped in total darkness.

I felt a warm touch trailing up my arm, it was gentle yet it sent shivers up my spine. I flinched away sharply.

"You don't see how evil this world is." The voice said darkly. It sounded deep and masculine, with a hint of an accent to it.

"You, you are Hayes aren't you?" I stammered, ignoring how helpless i felt.

A warm hand caressed my cheek making my eyes widen.

"You are innocent, you do not understand how twisted the world is. Men would do anything for power." His voice was melodious and every word he spoke held contempt.

I jerked away, hating his touch. It felt foreign and wrong. "Don't touch me." 

He chuckled.

"You are truly special heroine. The blood that runs through your veins is very desirable. You don't know how powerful you are yet."

"You are evil and selfish, you can't just cause destruction to two whole species just because you seek revenge."

"So, you think i'm evil?" He asked, his voice filled with such innocence as if he truly was curious about my accusation.

"If you think murdering is not evil, then tell me what evil is."

"I am merely carrying out the cycle of life, my dear. Demons come out every few centuries to purge, it helps maintain the balance in the mystical world." The darkness was fading, i could make out his figure now. He was tall, about 6ft2, and he was lean yet muscular. He looked young, i didn't expect him to, but he did not look like he was above 25. But we all know how deceiving looks are.

"You still are out to kill me, that makes you evil enough."

He takes a few steps forward, and i tried to move back but i was frozen. He had icy blue eyes and soft brown hair. It was weird, i didn't expect him to look so charming.

"I'm sorry my dear i'm truly am, but it's all part of the prophecy. Either you die or i will have to die. I hope you will come to realize soon that there are others much more evil than me in this world. You have to open your eyes and see the world as it is."

I narrowed my eyes at him, this was exactly not what I had in mind about my first face to face encounter with Hayes. Perhaps he was just trying to mess with my mind, but deep down i knew he was right. Perhaps he wasn't as evil as i was lead on to believe.

"Perhaps, you are right, but this doesn't change anything. I will still get stronger and kick your ass when the time comes, be prepared for it."

He doesn't say anything, but then, he didn't
have to. His knowing grin said it all.

"What do you want, Sophia?" he asked, barely offering me a sideways glance. Snow was being weird, ever since that encounter with Shuu. That encounter with Hayes last night felt surreal. I knew he was invading my dreams, he had been invading my dreams a lot recently.

"I needed to ask you something-" I wanted to ask him more about Hayes.

"Ask me what? Why don't you go ask Shuu." He said, annoyance laced in his voice. I rolled my eyes, he was being childish.

"Whats wrong with you."

"Fine, ask away. It's four in the morning and i'm tired." He said tiredly.

"You never get tired, Snow." I said, sitting on the table that he was facing so he had no choice but to look at me.

"Tch."

"Why are you being like this?" I frowned and he gave a small sigh.

"Do you trust me?" He said, leaning forward so he was only a small distance away from me.

"I guess." I said, but noticed the hurt in his eyes, "I mean yes i do, why?"

"Nothing, i just wanted to make sure." He said, suddenly grinning.

"I have to try on the wedding dresses later, do you want to follow me?" I asked, Blake couldn't make it, and no way was I going to ask Ashton.

As soon as i said that, i regretted it immediately. Snow stood up, and turned to leave without saying anything.

"Wait!" I shouted after him, almost pleadingly.

He stopped in his tracks, as though he was thinking about whether he should leave, but after a long silence he turns, his white eyes clashing with mine,  a look of physical pain in them.

"You know how jealous i get and yet you still ask me to follow you to try on your wedding dress." he said, his voice strained.

"I'm sorry. You know i wish it was you i was marrying." I truly did.

He raised an eyebrow at me, and turned to leave again.

"You know i mean it, Snow." I said my voice barely a whisper.

For a long while he doesn't turn around. The silence was engulfing me, and i felt extremely nervous.

"Snow?" He was in front of me in a blink of an eye. I looked up at him, noticing the mischievous look in his eye.

He pulls a tiny box from his jacket pocket and opens it. Inside was a gold band set with a pretty diamond, it sparkled under the light.

I looked at him in shock,

"What are you-" He didn't let me finish, he took the ring out from the box and gently took a hold of my left hand and rubbed it gently with his fingers.

He removed the ruby set ring that Blake had given me from my ring finger and threw it on the ground, making a soft crashing sound.

"Oh my god." I gasped as i watched the ring fall onto the ground. It did not shatter but it was definitely scratched now.

This was a bad idea, Blake would definitely notice how the ring was now in such a bad condition. I didn't know what to think - this was happening all too fast. Snow was looking at me expectantly, he was waiting for my answer. But i knew this couldn't work; i had to be married to Blake, i didn't have a choice even though my heart wished otherwise.
