13 You are ...?

Black strains of hair fluttered against the wind. He watches as her hair curves against her face. As her blue eyes hid beneath it. From behind he stares in silence. Watching her every movement.

His dark curl bounces against his forehead. His lips curved as he calls out to her. "Winter, are you ready to meet the queen?" turning her head to stare at the man before her. She felt a string of hairbrush against her face. Silencing nodding her head.

Feeling frustrated and unsure with herself. Losing herself in her thought. Why this man helps her. What does he gain at all this? Unknowing sitting back on the bed. Her expression darkens.

The aura around her turns cold. She felt a warmth touching her shoulder. She lifts her head looking up into concerned eyes staring back at her. She was taken back for a moment and waved her hands at him to not worry. Raine's eyebrow rises slightly. He stares at her for a moment. Raine gentle smiles as her.

Both were startled. From the sound of knocking.

They both glare at the door. Winter slowly back turns the curtains. Hiding behind them. The knocking gets louder. Lifted his head as he noticed Winter went into hiding. Raine approaches the door. Lightly breathing, "Who is it?" he spoke. There was silence. The knock repeated.

Raine grabbed onto the doorknob, pulling it open. The door swings open. Raine was speechless. Shock to silent. Before he knew it. He was keeling down to the ground. Silently trembling, not sure how to react.

His mind races. Keeping his head hung low. Only to hear sounds of closing doors. He can only see a slim pale figure with long black hair trails against the floor sitting within his chair. Watches her in awe.

"Are you or are you not going to introduce me to the woman?" Propping her chin within her palms. Staring at him coldly. "And I mean the woman hiding behind the curtains,"

Peeking her head out from behind the curtain. Winter stares at the small pale white woman sitting within the chair. Notices that this woman's posture was somewhat lazy but set chills down her spine. She had a cold yet dominant appearance. Slightly taken aback Winter only whisper.

"I am here Miss."

Leaning back into the chair Lilith stares at Winter. A small light spark within her eyes. Slowly goes dims. Raine stands back on his feet. Quick to introduce them.

"My Queen this is Winter. Winter this is Queen Lilith."

Winter lightly bows her head turns the queen. Slowly creeping out of her hiding spot. To only to set on the bed. Lilith watches in silence. The silence in the room grows heavy. Feeling nervous Raine watch in silence. The two women radiate an aura of nobility.

Confused by both of their behavior Raine spoke breaking the silent

"My Queen, Winter needs your help. We were about to head straight to you, but instead, you came to us." With a confuse look on his face.

Both Females stare at him. Winter couldn't understand why she has to feel superior to this woman. Lilith softly spoke not fazed by the situation.

"What help does Lady Winter need?" laying eyes on Winter.

Winter stares at Lilith "Queen Lilith" she said as she straightened her back.

"I need help to remember who I am."

light laughter echoes the room. "You need help to remember who you are?"

Erupting with anger. Winter yells "Yes?!, I need help. I can't remember who I am. Every time I try everything goes blank to me. Even if I tried to remember I feel sharp intense pain coursing through my brain. It feels like my skull is being pounded into the ground relentlessly."

Winter started to notice that Lilith was no longer in her lazy posture. There was a serious look. Within her eyes, Winter couldn't describe this feeling but slowly became silent as she turns her face away. Not noticing pity flashing in Lilith's eyes. Her voices echo against the air. "It's simple to tell who you are, but I can't tell you who you are… can't explain now." sighing helplessly to herself.

She glances at Raine. Winter stands up ready to probe for more answers to her questions.

"When the time is right, everything will come back to you. This is my promise to you."

Within one swift motion, Raine wraps his arms around Winter. Preventing her from asking any more questions. "She is a woman of her words. I am only Loyal to only a few people in this world. And one of them is Queen Lilith." Please with his response. Lilith nods her head.

Winter Lift her head. To stare at the man before her. She felt his arms around her. She was subconsciously going silent. Lilith admires them for a moment. "I can say one thing. That Winter is an Angel, The Purest one of all her race." tilting her head to the side. Watches as both their reaction turn to shock and slowly uncertainty engrave itself within their mind. Winter removes herself from Raine's arms.

"How am I an Angel?…. I can't be."

Feeling uneasy with the answer she was giving Winter being to panic. Lilith stares at Winter with pity "It's clear as day what you really are. Any Vampire with key smell can tell what you really are."

Winter words being to tremble "He didn't know what I was so is he a vampire." Subconsciously start walking backward in denial. Hearing Lilith's voice "Raine is the pureblood vampire. Never interact with any other race before. You're the first Angel to cross his path in this lifetime." Lilith words couldn't process into Raine or Winter head.

In a state of panic Winter felt uneasy with herself. Hearing a soft voice in her head say yes, she is an angel. She felt a wave of unknown anger and despair filling her.

Raine felt a tingling feeling under his skin. A cold stare was radiating from Lilith. Her word sent shivers down his spine. "Do you hate who you are that much." They both stared at her. Not sure who her question was targeting. Frustrated Winter jump out the window. Not sure how to process anything. She felt a ringing sound going off inside her head. Feeling her life crashing.

He stares into the Queen's eyes. Feels with doubts. His body begins to move on its own. wanting to chase after Winter. Lilith shakes her head in amazement. She slowly rises from the chair. "You should go chase after her. You both should start heading turns the North East.

You both can seek more answers there." Before the questions can leave his lips. He hears the slamming of the door. Silently sighs to himself. He jumps out the window. In search of Winter.

Raine laid on to the rooftop. Feeling the tingling of the sunlight on his skin. He grunts under his breath. Taking in the smell of his surround. Smirks to himself as he jumps off into the southeast direction of the castle. Dashing from rooftops to rooftops. He is leading into a field of grass.

He sees her curls into a ball surround beneath flowers. Her black hair entwines within the flowers. He walks turns her. Leaning over as he brushes the strings of hair out of her face. Winters stares up at Raine. He notices her puffy red eyes.

"Were you crying out here alone?" He asks.

She stares at him feeling the warmth from his hand. "I don't know why I was crying. Feel like I am forgetting something so important that it is making my heartaches."

Raine leans down as finger entwines into her hair. "Don't worry you will remember. In time." Sitting in silence as he rubs her hair. Feeling the warmth within his hand. Winter sits up. Staring at her surroundings. She softly whispers, "Thank you." to him. Not sure what else to say.

He stares off into the distances. Sitting there for a bit. Until they heard voices coming in their direction. Without thinking. Raine grabs Winter within his embraces. As he pulls her closer turns him trying to conceal their presence behind a tree. He watches in silence. As he spots, Mariah and Joey argue with each other.

He leans his head down looking at Winter. Feeling the warmth from her body. He shakes his head. Hearing the voices getting closer turns them. He grabs a hold of her tightly. Jumping into the trees. As they dash off to turns, the forest as they go deeper within.

Winter stays silent as she is drag off by Raine deep within the forest. They slowly came to a stop. She removed herself from his embrace. Finding the words to question his action. The only words she can hear escapes his voice. "nobody, but the queen should know that you are within our walls. In this Kingdom."

Stunned into deeper silence. Winter couldn't find her voice any longer. Raine stares at her for a moment. "If you no longer feel comfortable here. The Queen advises us to head Northeast. And there we will find our answers were both looking for."

"What is out there?" she asked.

Raine stared at her shaking his head. "I don't know. She never told me. Do you want to go? Or continues hiding in my room." Winter turns her head into the direction Northeast "Being cooped up within your room won't do neither us no good... let's head North East and see what we can find out there."

Smirking to himself out of amazement as they set out.
