Snow White And The Huntsman

"Darkness consuming,
Threatening to engulf all.
Yet love glows, brightly."

They ran.

Faster and faster, they never stopped in their tracks. For survival, they had to give everything they have. Every breath, every ounce of strength, every pull of their muscle, and every minute action could well decide their fate. Life and death depended on this very run. They pulled open their strides. Pushing forward, they brushed aside the fatigue that their unforgiving minds were sending to their bodies. Their lungs were desperately gasping for air, and yet they never looked back.

The looming shadows towered above them, and in the distance the dark army pursued. In this race, they were just tiny lambs running away from the almighty predators. It seems, almost, futile that they were attempting to live. But they were not willing to give up. In their minds they knew that they were meant for a greater cause. And it is with this knowing that they found renewed strength to continue running. With each step their will to live reignited into bright luminous flames, glaring, bursting with life. Now they are sprinting.

And then they slowed down. For the first time they took a good look at each other. Her face was white as snow, her lips red as blood, and her hair black as night. She was beautiful, but beyond that there was a sense of calmness and purity surrounding her. She, was like no other. He stood tall, that rugged face showing clear signs of a warrior. Like her, there was something special about him. He was brave, a fighter. In those eyes the desire to protect everyone dear to him rages. It was so intense, and that gave her much assurance and comfort. She smiled. Never in her life has she felt so safe before.

They started running again. But this time the run is different. They were no longer running just for their lives. They were no longer running just to fulfill their destinies. Now, at that very moment in time, they were running for each other.
