She was selling apples from an old, wooden cart that day when he came up behind her at dusk. His eyes gazed into hers intently, and she swallowed hard for she knew this was a man who would change her whole world and very destiny if she let him. He circled her like a predator watching his prey, then gingerly touched her shoulders. The weight of the world that had hung heavy upon them instantly washed away at his touch, and she sighed, aching in her want for more of this handsome, mysterious stranger though she knew he was bad for her and as wicked as sin.

His hands swept down her tanned arms, sweeping away the dirt and hurt that the harsh world had labored upon her. His hands moved slowly and seductively over her flesh, stroking every inch of her arms before finally taking her hands in his. Then his mouth touched her shoulder, and she sighed, her eyes drifting shut in pleasure. The man reopened his eyes; his green irises had turned to red. "Join me, mah dear," he whispered against her ear.

"Si," she breathed. "Si, mi amor." She'd known he would come for her for she'd dreamed of him for years, and at last he had.

The Stetson fell from the blonde man's head as he sank his teeth into the tender flesh of her dark neck. As her brown eyes rolled back into her head, he picked his hat back up and set it back on his head. His gold tooth winked in the moonlight. He swept her limp body up into his strong arms and carried her off into the light of the rising moon, the first of a zillion that the lovers who were not as young as they once had been would be greeted with.

Breezes fluttered through the alley way as things from the night slithered and crawled in their haste to lay wait to what the Vampire had left. The old cart's wheel splintered, causing it to fall, but no one was there to care about the apples that spilt for they were too busy living their nightmares and dreams come true.

At Calling the Muse, we plan on having a challenge day every day of the week -- one fandom per day unless we get lucky and get more than seven fandoms -- issued by different people (one person per fandom); the challenges will be issued once a week every week. Magnifcent Seven is one of the fandoms for which challenges are being issued. Come on over and check us out at ficcersuniteDOTproboardsDOTcom or .net/forum/Calling_the_Muse/75047/ today!
