Snippet #1782110

Ella twisted her arm from the boy's grip, and quickly walked away. Although her face only showed mild annoyance, her heart fluttered like a hummingbird's wings. The way he had grabbed her wrist reminded her of her father. She was aware of him calling behind her, but she simply rolled her eyes and turned a quick corner, onto a long and rather lonely-looking street. All of the houses where white with snow, and silent. The road was covered in a thick layer of snow that Ella trudged through, at first not noticing the steps behind her. As soon as she heard light footsteps behind her, she whipped around around took a step forward, a note of distress on her face as she glared at the person behind her. "Just leave me alone!" Ell huffed, but her eyes widened and she took a quick step back when she realized it wasn't Mike.

For a moment she stood there, her guard down for a moment as she took in the boy in front of her. He was very handsome, with dark hair and golden eyes that melted her heart- even if she only left her expression surprised and vulnerable for a moment. In that moment she stood with her long hair hair cascading down one shoulder, her long eyelashes catching small snowflakes with each blink, and a rather innocent expression on her face. It was rare someone to catch her with her guard down- but this was a small town where everybody knew everybody. And she didn't know him. It was odd feeling, and she stopped herself just before she could make a fool of herself. She covered her innocence with the face of a flirt, and she gave him a seductive smile that could break the strongest of hearts.

"Following me, are you?" Ella's musical voice chimed out in the cold evening, like a clear bell. She took a slow step forward, a daring look in her eyes.
