Her heart pounded heavily. She stared at the screen blankly. No, her mind cried out despairingly. No, this cannot be happening!

“Hey there, sexy babe. Been alone much?” His deep sapphire eyes pierced the semi-darkness as he smiled predatorily at her.

Her eyes flickered nervously as she scanned the words she knew would be permanently imprinted in her mind. They say pictures draw a thousand words; but they would not expect such words to be thrown at them smooth as velvet and lethal as the deadliest poison.

“You know, your eyes really do glimmer like diamonds in the sea. Do you always have men drowning in them, or is it something you had always done knowingly, hmm?” He whispered those words in her ears as he inhaled the slight wisp of delicate rosemary that wafted about her.

No, no, no, she screamed silently. This is impossible. How did he...

“Hair as black as ebony, skin as fair as snow...lips as red as blood. You, babe, are sure today’s Snow White everyone’s looking for. And...I...have...you,” he smirked inwardly and continued caressing her ebony locks, blowing gentle breezes across her neck and watched her shudder.

“Stop it!!” she began screaming with all her might. She pounded against the screen as hard as she could, fear mounting rapidly as she spoke. She couldn’t bear it any longer. Something was happening in front of her, and she could not stop it.
“You remind me of a girl I used to know. She had black hair just like you, snow white skin just like yours...but pity, she refused to be mine,” he said sadly as he fingered her delicate jawline lightly, “What a pity...she would have been even more beautiful by now.”

“Stop...it...”she sobbed loudly as she uselessly pounded the screen. She couldn’t bear to read further. She knew what was to come...what would happen in the end. Desperately, she tried to block off her mind; the stream of memories came gushing like no tomorrow.

“It’s such a pity too...that you pushed me away when I first met you. You would have been such a wonderful bride. But then, you won’t be pretty anymore many years later, right? So what is the point hmm? Why not join us right here, with my everlasting brides that will never age. Immortality till the end,” he whispered suggestively at her ear, ignoring the silent sobs engulfing her body.

Her energy drained, she could only read with fear etched deeply in her eyes. “Please, don’t do this,” she whispered brokenly, her hands bleeding from the sheer force used trying to penetrate the screen. “Please, she’s my only sister...”

He smiled again. He cannot have her, so why not have her sister instead...

Screams filled the air once more.
