Tanith sat alone. It wasn't easy. Her blood ran faster when she was around a man. Ghastly especially.
Feeling depressed, isolated in her apartment, she turned on her stereo.
Rose, rose, rose red...
Will I ever see thee wed?
I will marry by thy will, sire...
At thy will
She went to the kitchen and made some tea, and put some crumpets into the toaster.
A thousand years gone by
Too late to wonder why
I'm here, alone
Within my darkest hour
She rose that fell a flower
I should have known...
A few minutes later, Tanith smiled over her cup of tea. Ghastly was at the door, roses in hand...
A/N: I'll leave you to wonder whether she's hallucinating or whether Ghastly actually came. I decided to make this a songfic, because, quite obviously, this song suits Tanith. And because I just got more Emilie Autumn. I love I Know Where You Sleep...
Lythia Harpen, October 6
"Fletcher… Broke up with me."
Tanith tilted her head sympathetically. "You know what they say. Revenge is sweet."
"Whatever do you mean?"
Later…
Fletcher opened the letter slowly. Written in large, blood-red letters…
ARE YOU SUFFERING? ? ?
A/N: Yep. I was going to use the EA quote 'Revenge is the best revenge' originally, but this fits better.
