She is broken.

He is full of regret.

She is cold.

He is warm.

She hates him and herself.

He loves her, but hates himself.

She is a deadly assassin who ran away. 

He has searched for her since she went missing 8 months ago. 

She thinks no one cares she is gone. 

He cares more than he wants to admit. 

------

It's been 8 months since Ella was taken. 8 months of the Moretti's and Ella's friends searching everywhere for her, with no luck, until a certain ball comes around, a ball where they see a girl in a beautiful blue gown, and long brown hair. It was a masquerade ball, but they thought they knew her. 

Then something tragic happens at the ball, and now they are back on the search, trying to find and get Ella back. Will they succeed? 

------

"She stood there in her blue gown, an evil glint in her eyes as she slid the knife across his throat, killing him instantly. Blood coated her dress as she smirked at us. Than, everything went dark again."

"I couldn't breathe, what was happening to me? I said I hated him. Hate. I do hate him, don't I? Why is he doing this to me?" 

"She's always on my mind, I won't forget her. Ever. No matter what she does or says, I won't let her go, not again. I won't make the same mistake twice."

The world showed her no mercy in it's ways so why should she. ~~~ I let out a small sigh wanting more of this. I wanted to be held like this whenever I felt broken. Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and was kissing them away for me. Slowly he lets one hand go, the other staying around me as he brings my chin up to him gently wiping my last tears as more fill my eyes. He sees this and his eyes look... crumbled. If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute. Please." His body shook and I brought him closer, feeling our pain become one. Our hurricanes of minds pull away even for the smallest time letting us stand together as one in each other's embrace. He was it for me. But I wasn't his.
