I don't own Grave of the Vampire characters.
Frowning, Charles Croydon paced by a stake in Salem. His arms were behind his back as he refused to glance at the stake. One stake where Sarah Croydon died. How helpless Charles was to prevent the townspeople of Salem from dragging Sarah out of her bed and to the stake.
The townspeople were always eager to accuse others of witchcraft at the drop of a hat. Charles started to regret his inability to save Sarah.
The pacing ceased. Charles collapsed on his knees and continued to frown. He remained by the stake and never abandoned his vampire bride's ashes again.
