The dead prince
I stood in the snow trying to make out where I was through this storm. The snow fell onto my dark black hair and stood out like the bright moon in the night sky. My fur coat kept me warm, but I could start to feel my hands beginning to freeze. The only thing that was running through my mind was that I had to keep on running. So, that was exactly what I did. I ran and ran until my legs began to ache. All around me, I could only see the white snow that fell onto the ground. There were no trees or people or anything like that near me and I was starting to get worried that I would never escape from him. You may be wondering who 'him' is, but the only thing you need to know about him is that he should never be trusted and can become your worst nightmare. The sky began to turn dark and the white snow started to disappear as the darkness from the night sky started to surround me. As I was catching my breath, I could hear foot steps behind me!
Suddenly, icy fingers gripped my arm in the darkness. I spun around so quickly that I nearly lost my balance and fall onto the cold, icy and hard floor. All I felt in that moment was fear: it was him. His stern face didn't move and his mouth crept into a wicked smile. His fingers turned my arm into ice and a shiver went down along my spine. His eyes were an icy blue colour and his face was made up of ice. He had no heart or care for anyone in the world. This was the type of thing you would tell your children at night to make them go to bed and he was someone that would even give adults nightmares. He wore a leather top and trousers that gripped to his body so tightly that you could see all of his muscles, which was very strange to me because he was... dead! He was known as the dead prince that would haunt anyone that would step foot on his land again and he would make them pay. Then, he opened his mouth and made a loud whistle that could be heard from miles away. This meant that those things were coming.
The things I was talking about were called dire wolves. They are humongous wolves that could kill you with a single bite. Although, these ones are a bit different. They started to circle around me, gnashing their teeth together and making growling noises. Their eyes were blue (just like the dead prince) and their fur was a white colour. On their body, there were claw marks and wounds from battle but the one thing that stood out in all of the dire wolves (that were now around me) was the huge parts of them that were missing. On some of them, there were holes in their head and holes on their sides and stomach's that were so big and deep that you could see the bones and rib-cage's standing out. I turned my attention back to the dead prince with his hands still gripping tightly onto my arm. I began to shake as he said, "Now it's time for me to kill you."
