My tears fall over and trail down my cheeks as I stare at Bai Lei with fear and confusion. Snow begins to fall around us as a hush falls over everyone in the courtyard. He reaches out and wipes at my tear, leaving a smear of warm blood on my cheek.
"This isn't your world little star. People kill to survive here. It's kill or be killed, do you understand?" He says in a soft yet stern voice as the snow falls around us like something from a dream or nightmare. I slowly nod my head as the man in white watches everything with sharp eyes.
As if finally noticing him, Bai Lei turns and looks at the man with a glare asking "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my palace?" The man in white looks between me and Bai Lei before saying "Old man Ling summoned me here for her."
