So, I've basically merged two story ideas in this one, but it actually makes sense. The chapters will start slightly slow, and Mary Sues and OOCness will abound – but never fear, I have sailed these waters before. Anyway, I think it will take a little while for all this to coalesce into the story I have in mind. Bear with me – there is a due time for everything!
This is set around season 1, simply because that is my sandbox. There won't be very much of a difference, but I thought I might mention it up front.
Disclaimer: I own naught but a pesky, persistent rash of plot bunnies.
The rain had turned into something of a siege, rattling windows and sending winds to shake even the doors. It was like a car crash – awakening primal fear but impossible to look away from. A silhouette was trying to imprint itself on the window, eyes shining with the light on in the next room, staring at the rain, the faint tendrils of lightning in the distance.
"Can't sleep, huh?" A second figure slid from the darkness in the background. Her voice was dripping with sugar, her eyes sparkling with an eagerness that didn't show in her voice.
"Mmm?" said the man, glancing at her with intense longing for just a moment before his eyes were drawn back to the window. "No." There was a long pause, and the woman crept forward, feet placed carefully so that they made no sound. "You don't have to stay up. I'll be back in bed soon, sweetheart."
"I know, darling," said the woman, her arms snaking gently around the man. "But it just seems so cold in bed without you."
He smiled, leaning back so his head settled into her hair. She brought one arm up to stroke his hair, softly. A kind of drunkenness crept over the man's face, and he closed his eyes and sighed contentedly. "What would I do without you?" he asked.
"Live," she said, and the knife flashed from her hand into the man's chest. His eyes flew open, as did his mouth, but all that came from it was blood. Her fingers glided through the blood and she cooed softly. "Shh, darling. It'll all be over soon."
Dun dun dun. This is an uber short chapter, I know, but it's only the prologue! :D Review, I guess, tell me what you think.
