The Raven and His Butterfly

A selfish young man develops an obsession with a colorful young woman, although he is not allowed to keep her. The young man is an escaped criminal, and the young lady is of noble blood. The man lures the woman into the darkness of the forest residing near their town, and decides then and there that he will never let his little butterfly go.

(Alright, as this story has been simmering in my thoughts for longer than I thought originally possible, I've come to a decision that this long description must be changed. From "the two fall in love" to "the man becomes obsessed with her".)
