Winter Wonder

Slowly...
" One... two... three... one... two... three... and.. JUMP! ". As she said jump, she jumped, not a big one, but enough, for her to just almost touch the ground. She was home for the holidays, and since she missed practice, she had decided to go to the forest, as she had done so many times each and ever winter, as she skated over the ice. It was thick enough, but she had felt some places, that wasnt as friend as normally. She gently and gracefully carried herself over the ice, in her black outfit, and the white long winter coat over her shoulders, as she turned around and did a little jump once more. She closed her eyes, emerging herself on the beautiful ice, before something caught her eye, something that made her loose her perfect balance, as she suddenly got down on her knees, but lucky for her, she had some protection binds on, as she landed.

When she did, she heard a ' crack ' underneath, as she looked to the sides, before suddenly realising, that she had carried herself a little too much into the shore, and at a side where the ice wasn´t as thick as the other side. * Oh no.. *. She hurried to gently spread her weight, as she looked over towards the forest, where she could have sworn she saw someone.. a shadow of anything. Her dark honey brown eyes looked panicked around, as she slowly moved over the ice, trying to stay calm, as she talked to herself while doing so. " You can do it Saint, just a little longer.. it´s gonna be okay ". As she said it was gonna be OKAY, she heard a loud ' crack ' underneath her. She felt the icy water all around her, as her head got underneath the water. She swam towards the surface and got her hands on the edge of the ice, as she started to pull herself up, slowly but surely she got up, as her teeth were clapping together as she pulled herself up and crawled over the ice, soaked and wet, as she pulled herself towards the shore, freezing, as she tried to find her phone, but felt it was gone.. * no no no!.. it cant be gone! *. She took off her skates near the water, as she got up and started to walk as fast as she could, before collapsing, as she panted.. feeling how the cold had already gotten a grib in her.

Rainier had one of his usual days. Just the night before, he had killed and chopped up his previous victim, somebody had wanted the human dead, and so, he had kidnapped the guy, tortured him for days on end, and then finally, last night, he had killed him and chopped him up into pieces now chilling in his freezer, while his dog, Wolfgang, got a few bones to gnaw on. He left Wolfgang at the house to protect it, while he himself went for a calm, peaceful walk in the forest, now that he'd gotten up and had already been eating his breakfast. And that's when he heard it - somebody was down at the lake, and he heard the ice cracking. Somebody had dared to out onto the lake itself? Crazy, unless the person was a siren, or someone capable of growing wings - a fairy like himself, an angel, or a few demons... For anybody else, it would just be plain stupid.

But anyway, he went closer to check, and froze in his tracks when he thought his memory was playing tricks on him. It couldn't be... No... But... She looked exactly like her. Maybe she wouldn't up close... But before he knew it, he was hurrying over there, if nothing else, he could pretend he was worried for her, having fallen into the lake and all of that. The closer he got, though, the more did she look like her... Like Rebekah... His... Dead fiancé... Once he got over to her side, he calmly laid his arms around her shoulders. "Hey... You okay? I heard you crashing through and got over here as fast as I could..."

She looked up at the handsome older gentleman, as she tried to utter som words, but the only thing she could hear, was the sound of her teeth, how they clapped together from the freezing weather, the bone chilling wind, and just in general the winter time around them. She looked up at the man with her dark honey doe eyes, so innocent looking, but with a fierce spirit inside behind them, as she embraced herself, tried to get some motion going, as she said " I-I.. c-cold.. h-h..h-help ".

She could hardly speak, and the voice sounded so velvet soft, as she felt his arms around her shoulders, before she tried to get up, but she was shaking so much, that her legs could almost not carry her. Her body didn´t have very much fat on it, and she was only in the scale of 45 kg.. and with a low height of 1,58 centimeters, it wasnt much again. She held a clingy grib to his coat, as she tried to stand up, but couldn´t. Her lips turning a little blue, as she looked up towards him.

* Wauw, he is unbelievable handsome.. *. She couldn´t help but follow his every move with her eyes, almost looking like she was under some sort of spell for a second, as she came to herself, before she tried once more to get up, but her legs once again gave after, as she tried to talk, but words wouldn´t come out. She needed to get out of the ice cold clothing, wet and sticking to her body, like paint almost, forming after her ever little curve.

Rainier let a soft smile show on his usually pretty emotionless face, as he put his arms around her shoulders, trying to get her to calm down a bit but also just because... He had to make sure she was real. As much as she looked like Rebekah, he just had to have his hands on her. make sure this wasn't just a dream, a hallucination of some kind. He had always believe din reincarnation, and this just made him all the more certain that it existed. And that this... This might be her. Coming back to him.

"Of course, of course... C'mon... My cabin is nearby. It's warm in there. You can have a change of clothes, too." he said to her in a kind tone he usually only used with his little sister. He watched her try to stand up one more time, and seeing that fail, he picked her up, bridal style, instead. And like that - he began carrying her towards his cabin. "Why were you out on the ice in the first place? The weather hasn't been warm enough to sustain the ice for the past few days... It's really dangerous."

She noticed the soft smile over his beautiful face, as she leaned forward a little, wanting to touch his face for a moment, but she didn´t, instead she just looked more and more like a frozen stick, than anything. She heard the kind tone and was taken a little by surprise, not because he didn´t look kind, but more because it was so weird for her, to actually meet a stranger, in the forest and before she knew of it, she was in his arm´s in the most embarassing position she could ever be, in a strangers embrace.. a bridal position. She looked embarassed away, as she felt her cheeks warm up a little, as a faint red tone showed over her cold skin. She felt the warm embrace, and she heard the words, as she parted her lips, before saying " I was t-trying to skate. I-i don´t really have o-other places to skate ".

She leaned against him, as she found herself almost drifting away for a moment, but not because of the cold, but just because of the softly embrace, how he was gently rocking her, for every step he took.
As her eyes fluttered open, she gently rubbed them, before looking at the cabin, as she leaned into his embrace, feeling safe, no matter how insane it must had been to any other people, but it was just.. like she knew.. she knew deep inside, that this man.. wouldn´t hurt her.. not now at least. She smiled, as they got inside, before she started to try and take her shoes of... which she was really bad at, at the time.. shaking all over, as she said " I-i need to get my wet clothing off.. w-will you help me? ". She took the shirt off, as she held it in front of her chest, trying to shield her breast from the man, as she closed her eyes for a moment, before asking. " D-Did you have spare clothing? ".

As she had changed and gotten into a warmer attire, but not wearing anything underneath, she couldn´t help but feel but a little uncomfortable, but also comfortable, which was just such a weird feeling to her, as she sat there, in his couch, just looking at the beautiful stranger. " W-What´s your name, if you don´t mind me asking? ".

"Ah. True, there's nothing right now, no... But I think they're opening up a rink in a month or so, in town? Maybe you should wait until then. Just so we don't have another episode of this, right?" he said with a small smile on his face, looking down at her in his arms. His German accent was pretty clear to hear - not that it was really bad, but just... Still noticeable.

He calmly carried her to his cabin, getting inside and shushing Wolfgang as he had instantly started barking, seeing the new arrival. "Wolfgang, sitzen." he said, and the dog instantly sat down, panting happily. Since Rainier was calm around her, he would be, too.

Rainier gently pushed the door close, and then calmly placed her down on his couch. "Ah. Yes - I believe so. My sister comes over every now and then, so I have spare clothes lying around for her... I think they should fit just fine. Be back in a moment." he then said, as he walked upstairs into Rosalie's room. He found a warm jumper and a fair of fuzzy slacks and socks there, and brought it downstairs to her, smiling as he placed it right beside her. "Here, this should fit."

He sat down beside her, at the other end of the couch, not wanting to make her uncomfortable. "Ah. My name's Rainier. And yours...?" he then asked, cocking his head a bit to the side in a curious fashion.
