Amiri ~*Chapter 1*~ "Amiri" someone whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes and saw Kale's gray eyes looking down at me. "Hey" I smiled. He leaned down to kiss my on my cheek. I still feel the warmth as his lips leave my skin. "I have made us some plans today. I thought you would like to do something ,because it it's your birthday and all.. ," he told me. I sat up and got myself awake. "I would love to go,but I thought you were going to work on your book?" I believed it was more of question than a statement. He took my hand and warmth shot through me. He smiled as a sense of knowing. "I don't want to write today. I want to take you somewhere special,and the book can wait." We walked down the passage;away from the cottage we shared. I heard the crunch of the crisp snow,and I looked up for a moment and saw snow starting to fall. It was perfect. We walk for about two miles before we stopped. He lifted the branch,so I could get through. I held it for him as he walked passed me. I let it fall into its rightful place. He took my hand as we started to walk together again. "You look lovely,Amiri" I felt myself blush. He always knew how to make me feel special. "Thanks handsome" I smiled and stopped. He stopped immediately after I did. I got on my tip toes and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you,Amiri!" he shouted suddenly as if to tell the whole world. It was my turn "I love you too,Kale!" It rang out through the forest. Bird started to chirped in protest of our loud love. I chirped back and they became quiet. We laughed. "We are here" he sliced through the silence as we were enjoying nature. I look around and saw a place that was coated with snow. I was memorized on the flakes that fell in front of us, and I think Kale was too. He lifted me up and took me of guard. I laughed as he laid me down in the snow. He leaned over me as he looked into me hazel eyes and started to twirl my silky black hair. I closed my eyes as he leaning down to kiss me. I felt the tingling sensation as his lips locked with mine. A minute or two passed and at the same time we both pulled back. Kale laid in the snow next to me finally, and we stared up the sky. The sun wasn't out,so it wasn't be a pain for us to look a the sky. We watched as little flakes fell from the clouds to the coated earth. We sat up in the snow,and looked around after we heard something moving towards us. I glanced at him and he looked pale as he looked north. I followed his glaze. It lead to something that made me have goose bumps. Zelenograd. Zelenograd looked as if he saw a pot of gold. He walked as if he had not much time left,but didn't looked rushed. He took wide and long strides toward us. His fur pelts that he was wearing made me worry. They were furs of loins,tigers,and black panthers that he killed. He looked down at us. He looked at me with his bright red eyes. He smiled and kept his eyes on me. "I must say old chap that you did a nice job on finding them." He started to make a circle around us. I heard Kale growl. I tried to stay calm. "what are you doing here?" I asked with so of my rage that was still in my voice. "I came to make you love me..." Zelenograd voice whispered. In a flash, Kale was gone,and so was Zelenograd. I stood and started to look around me. I saw a black figure looking at me. Zelenograd. He was standing over something. As I realized what it was I began to scream. My eyes opened and relieve flood over me. It was a dream. Only a dream. A dream that was a reality only a long while ago.

Amiri ~*Prologue*~ The snow felt bitter-sweet on my skin. It stung on my skin with frigid coldness,but I don't care. I just laid there on the snow infested ground.The snow flakes kissed my face. I looked in awe as I saw every snow flake fall to the ground. I sucked in a breathe. It was amazing that I could stay and no one would care. Tears rated my face. The snow tore at my heart with remembrance of what I had. It never occurred to me that I had hatred against all of the other seasons except for winter. Winter. Just the word gave me joy,and made me smile. Winter was when I lost my beloved, Kale. He left me in an unusual way. He held me and then he left me. I could still see what happened as if it was yesterday. We both loved winter. The way the crisp air filled our lungs. Even though I lost him in the middle of winter I couldn't bring myself to hate the season. In winter, we used to love going here and just lay down and watch the sky. The memories washed over me. I cherished them. I love winter,because I liked the feel of the cold and of the good memories. After two hour passed, the sky became dark. It showered me with blanket of flakes. I moved my head to see the tree line. Everything was covered gracefully with whiteness. It was beautifully fierce. I tried to pull my eyes away from the woods,but I couldn't help feeling hope. Hope that my love would walk to me and hold me as he once did. I felt my heart braking and tears streaking down my cheek even though I have been crying the whole time. I missed him. The words made my heart ache. I wanted Kale and no one else. I wanted my beast to be at bay. I wanted his soothing voice in my ears. I watched as the snow as it stopped suddenly. I looked up the sky. He would have loved to be here. I had no doubt in my mind he wouldn't love this place. I sighed. I felt myself zone out as the night went on to dusk. I couldn't sleep anymore anyway. Every time I closed my eyes, I just see gray eyes look at me, and bleach blonde hair that was fixed in a messy way. An expression of joy to see his love and a smile that I loved dearly. He was a imperfect person,but I still love him with all my heart. I felt my eyes close shut. Kale's face was glued to my eye lids. I looked at him. The smile was still as bright as always and I felt my heart melt. Suddenly, the picture of him faded and another came into my mind. It was dark,but it started to clear. I felt my eyes sting from my own tears. I couldn't open my eyes as I looked at the man who killed Kale.Zelenograd. His chiseled face came up to mine. The desire in his bright red sent chills through me. His smile had teeth that looked like something like a wolves' teeth. He told me once he sharpened his teeth ,so if had to fight he would win. I felt a sharp pain sent through me. I screamed. He started to laugh inside my eye libs. I stopped screaming as I forced myself to open my eyes. A flood of relief wash over me as I looked up at the snow falling. My breathe soften the moment my eyes were on the sky. I felt my eyes closed again, but nothing showed. I felt myself slip into a deep sleep as if I haven't slept in ages. And I hadn't.

Nine ~*Chapter 1*~ "Help!!" Someone screamed from the art room. I ran into the room and shock filled me as I seen my best friend,Sydney, on the floor. I noticed his wheel chair was out of reach for him. I pulled him up of the ground and helped him get into his chair."thanks.." He whimpered. His face was filled with redness. "Sid,don't be embarrassed...what happened?" I asked. He looked up at me. His light blue eyes held my sea green eyes. "They were pulling a prank on me...and they flipped my chair over...they put it over here" he pointed to the ground where we were standing ." So I couldn't get it." I felt concern fill my eyes. Mario,Jess,and Mai always teased him and picked on him continually. "I am sorry,Sid...lets go home." We left the school in silence... •••••• "I can't believe that happened to you!?!" He laughed as I wheeled him down the street. I love to hear laughter from him. "Yeah,I know. I just saw the turtle fly at me and WHAM! It hit me in the face. You should have seen the person after I got done with him!" We both laughed. I always love to hang out with him. It usually sets my beast at bay. We saw three figures on the sidewalk. It was our lovely enemies. That was great and now we have to mess with them! I felt a growl come out of me as we approached them. "Oh looked! You found your chair! Were you a man and got it yourself or were you a pussy and needed help?" Mario spoke. He was the leader of his little group. His brown eyes looked from me to Sid. He waited for a response,so I gave him one. "Yeah, I helped him get to his chair. He needed help,but he is still a bigger man than you!" I saw him burn with range. I couldn't, but smile. "Well,nice one,but I didn't ask you and your smart attitude!" He crossed his arms as if he was superior over me. I don't think so! " well..at least I don't make fun of a man in a wheel chair and have a little brother that is the same position as he is in !!" I blurted out,and for a moment I didn't think he knew what I was talking about,but his eyes got wide with surprise. "What?...how did you know ?" He ask with a hint of shock . "I know everything. Everything you think is a secret it isn't. I know them all. I just want you to know.." He threw a punch at me. I gracefully dodged the swings."that karma is a.." I threw my leg and did a famous roadhouse kick to his head. His body hit the concrete as soon as my foot left hit his face. "..pain,isn't it?" We walked down the road as if nothing happened,and I felt eyes on me. •••• I helped him in his bed,so he could rest. He was unusually quiet and it made me worry that he may ask me some questions that I couldn't answer. He stared ahead. He just sat as if I wasn't sitting next to him on the bed. The next two hours didn't change,but I wish they would. It was killing me. I didn't want to talk to him about anything personal things,but the average stuff. I felt myself sigh. It felt as if I was a caged animal and then suddenly I snapped . "Talk to me?!? You have been quiet this whole time and its killing me!" Oh yeah,I snapped. He turned to me and smiled at me."that was interesting.." "What?" I asked. "I thought you would have broke about hour and a half ago." "Really.." I felt my blood boil. This was a test!?! "Yes, and can I ask you about some stuff about what happened?" He asks me from the bottom of his heart, so I couldn't say no. I just nodded, he continues " How did you kick him so hard? How did you know about his little brother? Do you really now all his secrets? And did I see you eyes change colors?"
