Broken Princess
By the Princess of Mirkwood
that goddam who am i part kept hitting her again
& again
& again
& again
she really had no idea where she was going with this
no
not really
she missed christopher
& kristopher
well whoever the hell he was she missed him
100 yeas after
the before
she died bit
there is someone in her room
it is dark but she knows who it is
she can't see but she knows who it is
-Nikolas.
-Sarah Vida.
she turns on the light
she sees him
for the first time since then
he is the same
dark
she is different
dark
-Please go away.
he doesn't move
-All right then. Get the hell out.
he doesn't move
-I am not who I was. I can hurt you now.
-I know, he concedes, you are dangerous. The world knows that, don't they, darling Sara?
she growls
ash night is a bitch
well she actually likes jessica
but jessica disregards boundaries
she doesn't know anything about anything
and especially not about sarah
-I thought it was extremely interesting. You're dangerous, Girl-that-was- once-a-Vida.
-I am not a Vida! she screams, and hits him.
-But you were. That is what Christopher says. He says you were once a Vida. Wonderfully wonderful. And all that. He is in love with you. He pretends the world doesn't work the way it does. But we know, don't we, Sarah? Sarah- who-is-no-longer-a-Vida, yes, you know.
she knows
-Why are you here?
-It is for my brother. I love him. I protect him. And, as much as I hate to admit this, he needs you.
-Who does he need? Sarah Vida? Because she is not here.
he is angry now
he thought to win over her easily
because he was nikolas
and she was sarah
only now
she is not sarah
-Go to him, witch-vampire. He needs you.
he leaves
disapearing
one minute there
then not
she bites her nails
here again: the goddam who am i part?
she remembered
what ash night had written a book about
1 Broken Princess
she started right
or wrong
she couldn't decide which
but she didn't kill
she went to SingleEarth
she fed on willing humans
not too much
one night
she was hungry
it was 75 years ago
SingleEarth was empty
because this building was closing
they were building a bigger one
there was only one girl in the lobby
sarah went over to her
-Who are you?
-Lorena. Are you a vampire? Because I'm here to, you know..
she smiled. draped her arm
round the girl's neck
drank
it was so good
running over her tongue
stroking her senses
she didn't realize the girl's heartbeat
slowing
& slowing
&slowing
then stopping until the flow of blood stopped
she dropped the girl stricken
she left
and the awful thing
or wonderful thing
(she couldn't decide which)
was
she liked it.
