I DO NOT OWN SM. READ AND REVIEW. INSPIRED BY THE VIRGIN QUEEN ELIZABTEH BATHORY AND GHOST HUNT; URADO CASE. DISCLAIMER. ONE SHOT.
She was beautiful, pale skin with blue grey eyes that were framed by long dark full eye lashes. Her kingdom admitted to her beauty but they despised her with a passion. She was the cause why so many young maidens were killed. She was the reason why everyone was suffering. They knew, they all knew that the Queen was fearless, taking everything head on and she always won. She always got her way, it seemed that nothing could scare the Queen. But they all knew what the Queen feared most was not the neighboring country who would like to take over, or the people missing, dieying, killing. Not even death itself scared her, no…what scared he the most was losing her beauty. Becoming ugly, getting old. That was the fear that the Queen had.
The Queen stared at her reflection in the glass, tilting her head from side to side. Her golden strands of hair framing her, her slender hour glass figure. She saw a figure step behind her,
"Endymion" she said soflty.
"Your majesty" replied Endymion bowing slightly.
"I am beautiful am I not?" she asked turning around to stare at him.
"Yes your majesty" replied Endymion.
"Its getting late…is my bath ready?" asked the Queen.
"It is"
"Very well, lets go"
The Queen walked to long hallways of her castle and came to a door, Endymion opened it and followed her in. The Queen allowed him to undress her and lead her to the tub. Red. The water was red, but it was not really water. It was the blood of young maidens, who were captured and killed. Their body's drained of their blood so that she could bathe in it. The Queen believed that if she bathed in young virgin blood then her beauty would remain intact. Endymion helped her bathe as the red liquid moved and ran down her body. When they were finished, she washed it off with water and left the tub. Dressing in her nigh gown she moved to her bed and slept. Slept peacefully without a care for the world.
Endymion was left to clean the tub and remove all the blood. The blood of the young innocent lives that were murdered just because the Queen feared losing her beauty. He knew that the next day it would be the same. Just as it was yesterday and the day before that. Just like it will be the same for tomorrow and the days that follow. He knew, the castle knew, the kingdom knew. What can they do? She was their Queen and they were simply subordinates who followed commands. Yes, they followed Queen Serenity's order…the Bloody Queen who ordered the death of many young lives…
