Annabella, Princess of the Underworld
It must have been midnight before Annabella woke up. The soft wind whispered in her ear and entangled itself against her hair as she pushed it away from her face. She pushed herself up on her elbow, noticing her body was full of cuts from the previous nights. What had happened? She had been with Clay, hadn't she? But a few minutes after bringing him back she had ran to the woods, drowning herself in a lake nearby and staying there until her body had healed internally. After that, she had dragged herself out of the water, falling asleep on the cold and snowy earth beneath her. That had been a week ago. Her body was covered in snow, and any small movement would cause it to fall to the ground. Underneath the layer of snow was a delicate black gown that had been ripped from the fight and now had icicles hanging from the sides. Had she been a mortal, she would have died days ago. A small flickering flame was shining behind her, and the smell of fresh baked potatoes and meat hitting her as she turned to look at a young man poking his meal with a stick. "Oh good, you're awake." The young man was staring at her, offering her a smile as he stood up from the log that had become his chair. "I've been watching you sleep for the past two days. At first I freaked because I thought you were dead, but you were breathing normally and weren't even cold to the touch, so I guessed you would be okay." Annabella raised an eyebrow, standing up and stretching as she did so. Her bones cracked underneath her skin, and a small groan escaped her throat as she did so. She was completely stiff from her nap. "Well, are you going to tell me what you are? I doubt you're human. Besides... no human can be so entrancingly beautiful." "Watch your mouth, kid. I would hate to have to end your life."
Who are we to judge what is right and what is wrong?
