Barely Breathing

He had found me.

I couldn't be wrong. His voice etched in my soul like a scar tainting the skin. Somehow, I knew we were meant to cross paths sooner than never. For fate had already linked our paths since we were a child.

"You sure are a remarkable one, toy doll I must say. Hiding from me all these years, you kept me on the watch." His silhouette came out from a large rock beside the lake. My enhanced senses started to kick in, trying to see through the dark.

Snow slightly covered his bare feet up to his ankle. He was wearing dark fitted pants which were purposely cut loose below his knees. His black shirt was printed with the words 'DAMN RIGHT!' in white. Push-back blond hair fell just above his shoulder and he has two small black pearl earrings on both ears. Jasper's face portrays that of a very confident yet dangerous man.

He didn't change much but grew manlier and looks stronger. A haunting smile glazed his lips as we assessed each other's features. He leaned on the rock and crossed his hands across his chest.

"Purple, eh? I thought you would get that bloody color your mother was so proud of." He smirked insultingly and muttered something like 'stupid royals'.

A loud vicious growl escaped from me at his disrespect. Paws outward grazing the cold winter snow, I roared once more with another threatening sound.

I may not know her well except for some short memories locked in my childhood dreams but I would never let him mock my mother in any way and get away with it.

"Hush toy doll, easy, easy there."He said while waving his hand like I was some sort of dog to tame with. A lopsided smile drew on his face and his eyes lit up.

"Why don't you shift toydoll so I could see how much I'd been missing these past cold years without you." He said unashamedly.
