Chapter One: Familiar Taste of Poison
Ghastly blue eyes flittered open, only to perceive the darkness that confined them. A sudden intake of breath resulted in a fit of congested coughs as soil replenished the set of deceased lungs. Something grasped her by the bicep and rescued her from the dark, only to be devoured by nightfall. At least now, she could see. The moon allowed just enough light to distinguish her savior's pale features. Their gaze was fixed upon one another as she tried to recollect what had happened in the passed twenty-four hours, but the last thing she remembered was her own tepid blood trickling down to her fingertips.
As they lay together in the dirt, she found herself ripping her eyes away from his and transferring her weight to her hip instead of her stomach to examine her body. The only thing harboring her naked physique was her robe, which was now obscured with dirt along with the rest of her. The lacerations on the pediments of her forearms were completely rejuvenated.
"I deeply apologize for soiling the silk," his gallant voice penetrated through the silence in the air as if it were butter, "I will purchase you another, far more extravagant than this one."
It was then she apprehended that he was referring to her robe, like that was what she was most concerned about in the moment, "You…" her voice was barely perceptible as she struggled to attain the words she was looking for, "you… you did it?"
He brought his frigid, lustrous fingertips up to her lips, tenderly stroking the plumpness of them before brushing the digits passed her cheek and caressing her colorless skin. Her senses were heightened as his touch lit a fire to her crisp flesh. If she were alive, she would have goose bumps.
"Pamela Swynford de Beaufort, you are mine."
That was all the reassurance Pam needed.
The next chapter shall be longer. This is really just a test chapter.
