Undeniable Fate
Prolog
April 1886
"I've seen you before Johnny." The girl giggled longer then necessary. She clung to the man walking next to her for support. The grooves on the cobblestone street were not a thing to walk on in heels for someone in her condition.
"Oh, have you? Well then, this will be the last time you see me," he said, catching her before she fell on the ground.
"This stupid dress, I seem to keep tripping on it. Ooh, this is a dark alley John, what if the Ripper is out tonight?" She giggled again, clinging onto His arm.
"Darling it's not the Ripper you have to worry about tonight." He smirked leading her to a spot in the dark alley where they couldn't be seen by carriages or people going by on the street.
"Oh, no? Then what do I have to be afraid of?" She smiled up at him coyly, running a teasing finger along his shoulders.
"Me," he answered, giving her a dangerous smile as he leaned down to kiss her. She giggled and returned it. He pulled back enough to trace her jaw with kisses as her hands tangled in his hair.
"You're beautiful Marié." He continued down to her neck
"But my name is Ariana." She frowned.
"Especially this pearly white neck of yours," he continued on as if she hadn't spoken.
"Oh Johnny..."
"Would you like to know, that Johnny isn't my name either?" His voice had changed. It wasn't the flirtatious tone it had been before, but smooth with a bite of coldness that swept over Ariana quickly. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up and the chill went down to her bones.
"W-What?" she found her voice trembling. She looked up into his eyes and soon forgot everything. She felt something take over her and she leaned into him.
"That's it darling, just relax." His flirtatious tones were back.
Ariana wanted to scream "no!" but her mind was mush. He went back to kissing her neck and then she felt a slight pang of pain, but soon it changed to a tingling sensation. It felt so good. She started to see spots then eternal blackness engulfed her.
