Hey all, this is the opening for a story I have in mind. Let me know if you want me to continue. Please review, I'd love to hear what you think. Future chapters will be longer. Follows canon up until 4x18. Just need to stave off my withdrawal symptoms for the next two weeks.

Breathe on me, my buffalo

Your eye warms to a warning

Of a death without words

Buffalo by ALT - J

The flames coursed inside her veins, burning, congealing the stolen blood that ran through her veins. 'Please. Stop.' She begged, her voice strained and scratching.

Behind the obvious torture, her heart twisted in the acute agony of betrayal. How could he do this to her? Abruptly the pain stopped as the water flushed over her and her head fell heavy against her chest, she was exhausted. Soft hands sweetly swept the hair from her clammy face. Rubbing the strands between his fingers, he whispered, 'I love your hair.' He gently tugs the strand. 'Look at me. No. No darling, there's no time to rest. We're not finished here.'

Her wide, blue eyes stared back at him. 'Why?'

He smiled and caressed her cheek. 'Because I can and I must, moreover, I want to.' Sobs began to heave from deep inside her chest, wracking her body. She could hear the water sloshing as the metal bucket clanged against the stone flooring.

'Shush now. One more time, nice and loud.' The flames licked her feet and ankles as she screamed.
