Hi! This is my first Hollow Kingdom story and I hope you enjoy!

There isn't much else to say... so lets begin!

Please stop.

It was cold. Terribly cold. Pure white snow glittered in the moonlight, untouched and clean before me. I took several steps forward, the snow numbing my feet as I stumbled to the ground, ruining the untouched snow. I watched several drops of red drip, drip, drip onto the blindingly white snow before I realized it was coming from me. I touched a cold, shaking hand to my nose, feeling the warm red liquid smear across my fingers. Blood.

I was bloody.

Come on, Luxxie. Just this one time. I won't tell anyone.

I let out several ragged breaths, wiping the blood on the snow. I glanced around, tears coming to my eyes as I realized I had no idea where I was. I was cold, practically naked, roaming through some forest. I couldn't only remember flashes, but the horror I got with each memory was enough to make me vomit all over the snow.

STOP! DON'T TOUCH ME!

SHUT UP! If you weren't such a tease, I wouldn't have to do this.

"Stop." I begged, grabbing a fist full of my hair and yanking. The physical pain helped calm the aching hurt in my chest. "I said to stop." I sobbed, my tears leaving little holes in the snow, mixing with the blood. My hands were almost blue as I tucked into myself, lying on the forest floor. There was no where else to go. I didn't want to get up anymore. I didn't want to live.

He stared down at me when he finished, those black soulless eyes twinkling with amusement as he buckled up his belt.

You weren't even that good.

"Please."

I saw him then, in his dark black coat, the hood pulled over his face.

Death.

Please let me die.

Come get me Death.

Please.
