Vicious Snow - Alexie (most popular novels of all time TXT) 📗

Cold. What is cold? Am I cold? Why does it snow and why is the water ice?
Someones coming but who is it? Blades; silver like snow can't see them when I hunt until they're stained with my preys blood.
I am Vicious Snow and this is where I met the hunters of gold; the place of no return, the place where the water cleans all wounds yet also brings them back. They where after it and I have to protect it. Snow is my domain and they have trespassed on it so they shall pay.

Putting on my goggles and mask, I stalked them through the snow. Silently leaving no footprints. I am snow, snow does what I wish it to. Suddenly they stopped . I crouched. They were talking in a foreign language one I did not know.
Who were they and why were they here on my land. Immortality, my white demon whispered. They are here to try their chance at forever lasting life you must stop them no man can touch this power without your permission he whispered in my head. Then what do you suggest I do, I whispered.
Walk out to them gain their trust and then slit their throats after they get what they want when they setup camp on the way back. Does that sound nice or would you prefer a hunt. No I want to tie them up and kill them slowly in front of their friends, I hissed with anticipation. I like the way you think girl or else I wouldn't have chose you as my master.
Now hide your weapons inside of your body Keimei. Also store your hat, goggles and mask in with your weapons. I know I am not stupid Shin.
I stand up and make my happiness and curiosity known to those who sense auras.
Who's there said one of the men. Show your self. Giggling I walk out into the fire light.
I have showed myself now what is your name dear stranger? I asked. What brings you here to this cold land?
Who are you he spat at me. I take a step towards him. Don't come any closer he shouted bringing his friends to look over out of curiosity. Who are you talking to Gary?
There's a girl out here, he said. Girl? They asked in unison. Yes a Girl you fools. I took another step forward only to have a knife come up from behind and pressed to my throat. I smiled at that. These men weren't as stupid as the last batch that I killed was.
Who are you he hissed in my ear? I chuckled and said; I am the one who dwells here and what business do you have in my domain young strangers. We seek everlasting life; Gary said. I laugh at them. Why are you laughing? He asked. Because; I said. Because you will never find it without my help and you can never touch it even if you did find it.
This made the man behind me hesitate. Taking his wrist I twisted it and threw him over my back. I disappeared into the shadows laughing. Where are you, Gary shouted. I am the shadows, I replied. Please come out and show us the way; Gary pleaded. I will come out if one of you stays by my side forever and never betray me and be my friend and closest companion; I said to them. If we do this will you show us the way, asked Gary.
At dawn a white dog will greet you by then you must have chosen who it will be who will stay with me if you have not by then expect to be tied up and slowly tortured in front of your friends. I whispered close to his ear. You must kiss the snow when you have made your decision I said. Then I went quiet.
Let them ponder what I have said. Shin if they kiss the snow go out and meet them then lead them to our den got it and don't eat them either. Yes my lady Vicious.

So who are we going to choose for the girl, I asked the others. We should choose the one who almost caught her, one said. No we should let the one with the fire abilities go with her, another said. That's the same guy who almost caught her you idiots. So then it's decided, they said. The one who almost caught her will go and stay with her, I said. Leaning down we all kissed the snow.

Lady vicious can sometimes be unpredictable and this worries me for her to choose a human in many ways this is very problematic. The reason why I chose her is because out of all the other humans out there I she is the only one more ruthless than me. And that is why I chose her.
**Time skip**

Keimei They're here... I heard Shin call. So who is it that you chose to stay I asked the men.
