~Dark Prince

Taceyeon peered at the dead wolves around him with indifference- that was slowly forming from the cold of this new foreign weather. His gloves were on the snow, frost clinging onto the leather, a little worn out looking- but manageable. The prince bent over to pick up his frosty gloves, and pulled them on hastily after a firm shake. He flexed his fingers in the cold leather, then walked over to the deceased wolf alpha. Crunching noises were made from his boots as he stiffly marched around the corpse- debating inside himself on what to do with it. He should be near to the village- Taecyeon was sure of it. And it was getting chilly- so chilly that the prince's bones could be heard rattling. Taecyeon rotated a quick two times around the dead carcass before turning his heel and walking briskly away. It was wasting his time. He was afterall, competing againt his arch-enemy in a competition he himself offered. Besides, he had nothing to do with the dead wolf- it had already started to stink of a foul rotting smell. His footsteps sounded loud compared to the silence around him- it was a forest, so why were there no sounds of wild animals screeching about, flapping wings, or even snaping tree branches that has soon become familiar to him? The dark prince let out a groan of frustration. Where was this village he spoke of to Nichkhun? His eyes squinted for any sign of a village, Taecyeon's legs trudging mechanically north. Yet... The white path he was on was getting narrower.

Brittle twigs from looming trees began getting in the irritated prince's way, with roots of the trees threatening to trip him. But he noticed signs of life just between tiny, but abundant gaps between intwined branches. It gave the prince a burst of energy to dash forward a handul of paces. With a final burst of speed, Taecyeon hurdled through some branches, and stumbled out, into the new, welcome change of scenery. The prince let off a brilliant smile full of teeth, and dimples and pure relief. He slid down the snowy slope that connected the dense black forest and village, and landed with a soft thump on flat ground. Taeceon stretched, and pulled his arms back as far as they could go, to relieve some tension knotted up on his shoulders. While leaning back, he released a yawn- making his eyes tear up and dampen with unshed tears. Out of his small rectangular field of vision, he saw a small white and gold, blurry figure hurrying towards north. Perplexed, he opened his eyes fully and unbent, rubbing his eyes with the tips of his fabric covered fingers. Then he opened his mouth in recognizition and disbelief. Nichkhun?  Taecyeon tsked then quickly sped forward a few houses between shadows. Nichkhun was walking at a brisk pace, enjoying the morning with a smirk. The dark prince stared at his rival in competition with curiosity. 'Why is he wearing that smirk?,' Curiosity turned his head, and the prince saw a wide open door, with a girl of black jet hair staring off in the direction of the light prince, touching her slightly dry lips. Taecyeon rolled his eyes. Oh, now he knew. 'That cunning...' Taecyeon strode over to her and banged open the door wider, causing the poor girl to startle and look his way with eyes of a  frightened prey. Taecyeon smirked- a natural habit for him. It got his girls fine. Her hawk-like eyes watched him as he stepped up to her. The girl dropped her hand reluctantly and blinked slowly with a resigned look settling on her features. Taecyeon took a few steps toward the girl. He titlted his head slightly left- and thought about around twenty actions he could do right there. The dark prince knew he needed to refresh himself soon- especially since he used his power to fight. His energy was getting depleted fast. He groaned mentally. Why had he done that act. In his mind, possibilites swirled around, but each one got examined twice before getting discarded. In a matter of seconds, the utter silence in the small cabin-like home was cracked by one pair scuffling of feet. Taecyeon grabbed the girl, then brought her face up close and connected their mouthes.  He watched silently as her eyes widened, then roll back completely. The prince, throughout the kiss, had his eyes open- and thus watched her reaction carefull
