The snow was deep but she had found the sacred burial plot An ancient granite archway over a tomb that read only Cain She looked up at the crescent goddess and closed her eyes Embers arose from the ground and danced about her She whispered her spells fluidly and a fog crept in from the moors Her freshly sharpened teeth bite her lip until blood spills Whispering one last spell she takes a smile upon herself The stones supporting the archway begin to fall out of place Embers brighter than before envelop her arching form She feels a surge of warmth emanating from her core Granite falls and breaks, the smell of rot permeates the air She collapses to the ground her red dress splayed out A dark figure emerges from the shadow of the tombs embrace It draws a deep breath to take in its new time and world Kneeling down beside the beautiful raven haired woman It traces its ashy finger down her cheek to her lips Long had its hunger suffered against itself in vain Her neck slightly throbbing with every faint breath The silhouette of her body like the angels who dance with fire A shimmering of moonlight catches its eye against its will A gold clasp on a leather bag she’d brought along with her Securing the bag to itself it found amongst the items currency It took the gold and stood up before dropping the purse on her face Then went up the road to Dairy Queen for a chili dog It met some tourist and got a ride into town on their way through It set about the next night feasting on virginal blood Forgetting all about the lady back at the tomb And it lived happily ever after
