Author's Note: Hey everybody. This chapter is close to Valentines day however in Romania, Dragobete is known as a day for lovers, like Valentine's Day. It is common belief in parts of Romania that during the celebration is stepping over a partner's foot leads to the dominant role in the relationship. It is on February 24th instead of the 14th like it is in the US. Dragobete customs vary from region to region. I am looking further into it so I can uphold the tradition for Romania. I hope the chapter is a good read. Enjoy. Have a good one. :-) - XOXO Faith Hammett193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI2johVnar

One week before A Day for Lovers
Lucy's POV
I get home when I feel someone was inside my apartment. My eyes go to the hallway where I see yellow rose pedals leading to my bedroom. I set my coat and purse down, walking to my bedroom to see two wine glasses filled with blood on the bed stand with a small letter with a rose on top of it but this time it is a bright red rose with a yellow satin ribbon bow tied to the stem of it.
I grab the rose and smile to know Kiral switched up the color of the rose he gave me this round. I can smell the scent of him being in my apartment as I grab the letter. I see the back of the letter has the real deal candle wax of a seal to the letter. I smile to see it is gold candle wax with the stamp of a rose. I carefully open it to see an ink written letter. I keep the same smile on my face as I begin to read it with Kiral's voice in my mind as I read his words to me.
'Dear sweet Lucy, I write to you wishing I could be there to see you again. However with much regret I cannot. I do hope the gifts I left you will help and I hope they will bring more smiles to your astonishing face. You immediately came to mind when I saw these. I know there is to be a massive gathering for all in the Supernatural World in the upcoming months and I hope you will wear this gown when you attend. And I hope that my blood consumes you as much as I would if I was there consuming you.'
I look to see a large size black box with a yellow ribbon tied around. I smile as I gently untie and open the box to reveal a gorgeous evening gown. It is the same matching red of my mother's ring which makes me smile even greater as I go over to my closet mirror to have a full view of it. It is natural, a-line, laced up, floor length, fully lined tulle dress with a built in bra. It really is amazing and I certainly will be wearing it to this massive gathering Kiral wrote of. It is a perfect dress to wear for a special occasion. I admire in how much thought was put into the design of the dress and the finest fabrics to make it.
I then notice something is written on the back of the letter. I turn it over to find more writing for me to read. I already know it is an update on Marishka since she has yet to show herself. I wonder what she could be doing now. I expected her to already show herself to Vlad as soon as she was able to find him alone but she hasn't yet.
'An update on Marishka; she's been spotted again several times at Broken Tooth Mountain. People have gone missing at night and winter hikes by her hand. She's managed to keep out of sight. The Order wishes for your help to bring her in willingly than captured by force. However if she continues killing at this rate, the Order will give the command and I'll have no choice but to kill her. I cannot do it with ease knowing the great hurt it would bring to you in killing Marishka. I do not wish to harm you in any way. Meet me at Broken Tooth Mountain in a week night to stop and help Marishka before it is too late. I hope you have a wonderful night, Kiral.'
I put down the letter knowing I need to get things together in a week to speak to Marishka. I take out my phone and call a contact that will be able to speak to Draven. His contact tells me to Draven will meet me in the park within the hour. I get changed into plain clothes, boots and put my hair into a ponytail. I only have my phone and keys on me when I lock up the door. I go up to the rooftop to make sure the entire area is clear before I use my vampire speed to get to the park. I land before a few set of trees and wait until I casual walk into a small crowd of folks. I blend in with the people until I find an empty bench.
I wait for a bit until I feel Draven sit beside me. He smiles wondering what this meeting is about. "Are we finally going hunting?"
"Yes but we are hunting for an old friend to help."
"What old friend?"
"Marishka..."
His smile vanishes at the name of our fellow vampire sister. He takes it in for a moment before asking me, "She is alive?"
"Yes. She didn't go through with it. She is back and she wants Dracula. She has been around since New Year's Eve." I tell him, wondering if maybe she contacted him in some manner. But his reaction to Marishka being alive shows he had no idea about her.
"She hasn't contacted any of us?"
"She probably thinks we are across the world away from Dracula and doesn't consider us vampire family anymore. And I honestly don't blame her. But she is in trouble. She is on The Record."
Draven looks at me in terror that I even mention the Record. He leans forward, resting his face in his hands before asking me, "Is she in the top five?"
I know I cannot tell Draven about Kiral because I know that he would react the way Dracula would have. I will tell him in due time so I tell him, "That is the rumor. And the rumor for the Record is to be considered no joke."
"Does Dracula know?" He asks me in the same terror of what Marishka will do now.
"No, he doesn't know about her. It is better if he does not know because if he knew, she would read right through him if he knew she was out and never came for her. The wrath she would deliver to him and anyone else in his life. Mina would be a corpse at her feet or worse." I say to him while putting my hands in my coat pockets.
"I will not let her anywhere near Mina. Mina may not be Mirena but she is blessed with her face. Mina will always have my protection because of that. Mirena's blood brought life to Dracula and to anyone else Dracula turned himself. If Marishka even spoke aloud the words to harm Mina, it will be my hand that delivers the kill."
"Someone else may beat you to that, Draven. She is being hunted by the Order as we speak."
"Hunted by whom?"
"Did you ever hear of the hunter who captured Jack the Ripper?"
"Yes. I heard quite a number of things about that hunter. It is said he uses connections from all over. He has friends through casters, wolves, vampires and rare creatures to hunt down anyone the Order wants off the Record. His hunting record is unlike anything I have ever heard aside from the Master Vampire. I heard he is the basic rapid mutt on a leash for the Order. If he is hunting her, she will not stand a chance. Where is Marishka staying?"
"There is a chance she is staying at Broken Tooth Mountain or at the ruins of Carfax Abbey in London. I am going to Broken Tooth Mountain to see if she is there. Do you want to go to Carfax Abbey?"
"I will go there now. We should tell Dracula."
"We will tell him if we cannot find her." I tell him without giving anything else away to Draven.
"If I find her, I'll bring her to your place right away even if I have to force her." Draven tells me.
He stands up from the bench and nods his head to me then walks away. I sit back down on the bench hoping Draven will be able to find her quick. I stare at the fallen snow wrapped around every branch, trunk, and stone pathway of the park thinking about the times we all had together before Vlad walked away from his old life.
Then I walk back to my place thinking of my time with Kiral. I have known him shorter than Vlad has known Mina however I feel like I will do anything for him so we can be together. I sink myself into the talks we had outside the bar and in the forest, imprinting the look he has on his face when he sees me. I scroll along the snowy streets knowing I will see him in seven days. I wish for those seven days to pass now.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d5FUrLkAE

Next Morning
Mina's POV
I wake up to the feeling to Vlad kissing me on my neck while whispering my name in between his kisses. I sigh in pleasure of waking up to him kissing me. I slowly open my eyes to see the dawn shining right behind him with his enchanting smile. I smile in happiness while telling him in my sleepy state, "This is a nice way to wake up."
"It most certainly is." He whispers to me while his left hand rest on the side of my neck and the other on my waist line. I realize he and I are both naked after another night of being together physically. I know we have already been together more than enough times since New Year's Eve. I believe I am starting to become addicting to him as I am to him. I'm starting to think the amount of sex we are having needs to slow down for a bit.
However can anyone blame me? Vlad is smart, attractive, trusting and open minded. And what makes all of this sex even better is that he is open to trying all kinds of dangerous sex events, even playful role playing. I can barely drive home with him without risking my life. It's awesome! But the problem is that we need to slow it down so our relationship is not solely based on sex.
"Vlad, I do want to talk about one thing before we get ready for the day." I tell him trying to focus while I feel his hands slowly running up and down my body, making me feel appreciated about me.
"I believe I know where this conversation is going and I agree. We do need to slow down on the physical stuff after this morning. I'll admit that it will be hard due to how soft you are like satin, eyes so deep that a man could get lost in them, and I get lost in you every time we are together. You are everything a man could ever want in a woman. You are so beautiful in body, mind and soul." He tells me while running his fingers gently over my lips and neck.
I already feel warm through my entire body that I cannot resist pulling him into another kiss and we are about to go at each other again until we hear a knock on the door. Vlad and I look shock when we see it is Matthew and Claire walking into the room. Vlad and I pull the sheets over to cover our bodies when Matthew and Claire are both embarrassed yet excited that they walked in on us.
"For the record, we knocked but also get it!" Claire says while Matthew is trying to get her out of the bedroom.
"We will wait for you guys downstairs." Matthew tells us.
"Oh come on, babe. We had the same breakfast they did, scrambled eggs and tongue. There is no shame in what they are doing." Claire says giggling while Matthew manages to get her out of the bedroom and closes the door behind him.
Vlad and I chuckle in those two. I love Vlad's friends being who they are and no completely awkwardness. I know if my mother walked in on us, it would not be pretty in any kind of manner. She would scold us so bad compared to the Feast. Thankfully she will never walk in on us.
I manage to tear myself away from Vlad with a sheet wrapped around my body so I can get ready for the day. I am about to get in the shower but Vlad tells me, "You shouldn't shower. Let yourself smell like sex for the day."
I do my best not to respond to him with how he is smiling at me that I want to jump back into bed with him. I get in the shower quickly before I change my mind. I wash my body and my hair real quick then get ready. I brush my hair out, put on light pink makeup then pick out one of the outfits Lucy let me have. I am excited to see how this one will look on me.
I smile in putting on the light beige pants, long sleeve, off white shirt designed in pink roses. Then I put on light pink heels and the grab a winter coat with the same matching pink of the roses on the blouse. I put my work recipes in a medium size beige purse. I walk into the bedroom to see Vlad is dressed in winter barn clothes. I love when he works around the horses for the day. He is happiest when he spends the whole day around them.
We walk down stairs to see Matthew and Claire waiting for us. They brought us coffee and hands them to us. We thank them and Claire is ready to take me out for the day. I am excited to see her workplace when I go on my lunch break. It will be amazing to see all of the artwork. My eyes go to see the outdoors still has snow but not as heavy. The roads are cleared for travel to the city.
Vlad kisses me goodbye when Matthew and Claire says at once, "Awe!"
"Alright you two, get going. Matthew, let's get to the barn. I know those horses are hungry and ready to get turned out before I assist in any research I can for you." Vlad says to them like they are children.
Claire takes my arm into hers as we go to our cars. Thankfully, Claire left her car running to keep it warm. I give Vlad an air kiss while Vlad tells me to have a good day. Claire drives away from his house while looking at me wanting details. I laugh in how she and Lucy are a little alike when it comes down to girl talk.
"You do not have to say much however I can tell it is good due to the fact we walked in on the both of you. That has never happened before in the time Matthew and I have known him. You are quite literally the first woman we ever saw him with at his place. I truly thought he was just being like a priest, a celibate life." Claire tells me.
"He most certainly is not especially with all of the things we have done so far." I tell her.
"Go Mina! You are quite the daring angel! Keep on going!" Claire cheers to me while we laugh in joy about all of this going into the city.193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXeMak0HsS

Vlad's POV
Matthew helps me and the barn workers with feeding the horses for the morning and he cannot resist in smiling to me. I constantly shake my head in how he is reacting to all of this. "I never expected to walk in on you with a woman in your bed. Claire and I honestly thought you were celibate. I am glad you are not."
"That makes two of us." I tell him when we finish the morning feed.
Matthew and I start working on some of the saddle equipment. We use a soft soap on the saddle and bridles. Then we used several buckets of warm water to keep clean the brushes, and combs to help any stubborn residue off each tool. I ask for two cups of hot chocolate since I made sure to have coffee and hot chocolate machines in the break room. One of my stable groomers does so and brings it over. Matthew and I drink the very delightful hot chocolate topped with marshmallows while the equipment is soaking.
When we finish the warm drinks, we continue cleaning up the rest of the saddles, blankets and winter blankets. I am called over to the parking area of the barn to see the postage is being delivered. I sign off to packages of new winter blankets and water warmers. I make sure to have plenty of spares in equipment so if one is torn up terribly, we have plenty for backup. I am happy to see Matthew enjoying himself at the barn. This is honesty the first time he has been here since his wedding to Claire.
We finish cleaning up all of the horse equipment while I smile at the thought of being with Mina several times more since the night of New Year's Eve. I forgot how good it could be to be with someone such as Mina. I know that vampire sex can be something else but the love of being a man with a woman is something astonishing as God wanted it to be since the beginning of time.
I keep on smiling until I feel a dreadful pain in my body coming out of nowhere. Thankfully no one is around while this is happening. I groan in placing my left hand on my chest feeling my heart beat cut off entirely as my vampire nature takes over. The pain becomes too much that I fall to my knees. I shake in feeling everything human about me cut off as I do everything to contain the pain inside of me so none of the barn workers hear me.
I let out struggling groans until the pain disappears like it was never there. I lean back up knowing the pain is no longer there when Matthew walks in. Matthew immediately puts his hand on my shoulder concerned and helps me up to my feet. I figure I would be use to this pain by now but I am not so sure if I ever will. Then again, I would rather be back and forth between human and vampire than remain a vampire for all time.
"Are you ok? Do we need to go get help?" Matthew says while some of my workers also come over in worry for me.
"I am ok. I have been having some chest pains. And yes, I already have a doctor looking into it." I feel all of my vampire powers returning quickly by hearing every heartbeat within miles of the barn and the acres. The horses sense what is going on with me while quite a few of them are shaking their heads up and down or stomping their feet in their stalls.
My eyes go to the skies, grateful for the winter weather today. Matthew and everyone else ask me if I am sure. I told them that it is alright as I put all of the equipment away in the tack room. I soak in my senses of their breathing coming out almost like smoke due to the cold air. I smile when I hear the fast walking of the newest member to the barn.
The sound of paws gets closer then around the corner comes the new barn dog, Roxy. I smile at the sight of her. One of my workers found her and asked me if I could take her in since she had no one else that could take her. I said yes without hesitation. Mina and I took her to the vet to get all the vet care she needed, a color with her name and vaccine tag. I learned she is around three years old and she is fixed as well. I am not entirely sure what breed mix of dog she is but I do not care about that. Roxy has a good, loving heart and that is all that matters to me.
I extend my hand and pet her jet black fur and brush over the two light brown marks above her eyes that are like eyebrows. I have several nicknames for her already in the short time she has been here. Her name was originally Journey but I felt like it was not fitting to her personality and look. The more I got to know her, the more the name Roxy came to mind especially since her tail is fluffy and thick like the tail of a Fox. The two words, Foxy Roxy came to mind which had me name her Roxy. Roxy is adventurous, clever, loves being outdoors and around the horses of the barn. She is so sweet and everyone loves her like crazy.
I chuckle a little in the sight of her pink and purple tongue sticking out while her tail is wagging side to side in happiness while she walks next to me. I know what she wants as I go back to the tack room, getting her treats. I do the sign language hand signal for sit, paw, lie down and crawl. Roxy does it all with such ease and I gave her a handful of treats after she earns them. I pet my hands up and down her body and give Roxy a kiss on the head before I go to Dimitru.
Roxy remains at my side while I go around to check their feeding buckets to see if all of their feed and supplements along with their grass, hay or mix of grass and hay are gone. I notice one of the horses left more than usual in their bucket. Matthew comes over wondering what is going on when I tell him, "I have never seen her leave this much before. Let's get her temperature. Jacob, walk her out, will you?"
The groomer, Jacob nods his head without hesitation. He grabs her halter and led rope quickly then leads her out of the stall. He walks her a few steps when I immediately see that she has a funny step in her walk. I point it out to Matthew while asking, "You see that funny step?"
Matthew takes a closer look when Jacob turns her around to walk back to us. He has her stand so I can take a closer look at her back right leg. I approach her while rubbing my hand down to her leg, giving a small amount of pressure to see where the cause of her funny step could be. When I get down to her canyon bone, she reacts in stomping her foot hard, grunting in anger of the pain her leg gave. I immediately tell another groomer to call the vet over.
I am handed the thermometer and take her temp. I know the normal temperature for a horse is 99 – 101.5 degrees. The temp is 103 which is not a good sign. I tell Jacob to take a cool, damp rage over her to help with her temp until the vet gets here to help with the fever and get a set of pictures to see what is going on with her leg. I pet the mare, Billie the Kid on her neck knowing she will be ok with some time off from lessons and exercises, let her be a horse for a bit when the vet confirms what is going on with her. I admire her jet black coat down to her all four white socks on her lower legs and white blaze down her face. I kiss her on the forehead before Jacob takes her back to her stall with a bucket filled with cold water and several rags ready to use.
Matthew admires how much I always ensure the horses' health above all else rather than what things they can do in the show ring and on the race track when they are one hundred percent or not. I walk away when I see Mina's horse, Nar Rakasa nodding her head up and down in her stall. I rub my hand up and down her face and under her chin where she likes it most. I smile in how well Mina and Rakasa get along on their groundwork and under saddle. Mina adores her horse so much and learning how to be an excellent rider in the almost two months I have been teaching her. Mina is certainly a quick study.
I go to my horse, Dimitru now that he is ready for his first ride after his winter break. I walk over to him while some of the water buckets are being cleaned out like they usually do every two weeks and the water warmers are being checked of their function for the rest of winter. I know if I was a horse, I would prefer to drink clean water than disgusting water.
I put on a helmet set with a pro duel lens camera. I like to document the ride before and after winter break. It makes it more memorable but also fun to show to possible clients who want to train their horses with me at any season of the year. I make sure everything is set and the camera is able to record up to two and a half hours and stay on for over seven hours in case anything was to go wrong on the ride; a way to document it all for safety.
Plus this new prototype camera that I am testing for the company; I am to report on the battery of life, durability, image stabilization, and auto-focus to confirm the worth of budget. This one is to be called the Cambox. This helmet camera is undoubtedly the smallest, lightest and the most covert camera the company wants to offer if all of the tests go well. It can withstand the rain, a wide angle of 110 degrees and a tilt of 35 degrees. It attaches to the helmet with a sturdy Velcro band. The camera weight is 40 grams.
If all of the tests go well, I get two cameras for free to continue giving them feedback on the camera work before it all goes public. I normally wouldn't do stuff like this however it is for horseback riding purposes and I do want a better camera on the helmet than the usual ones on the market these days.
When it is all set, I grab the reins and being walking out toward the gate entrance while another worker heads out to the tractor and start it up. Roxy jumps in with them. The feeling of being ensured that the dirt of the outside and inside arena are dragged often so it does not stay frozen solid dirt for whenever I work any horses outside when the weather is decent. I know I need to keep a few of them in decent shape throughout the remaining winter then truly prepare them for any events and sales to come when spring arrives.
I tell Matthew that I will be back in an hour or two then I can help him with deeper study on his next exhibit. Matthew tells me to be careful on the ride then heads back inside to get another cup of hot chocolate. I double check everything on Dimitru before I mount up. I place my feet in the iron stirrups, gather the reins in my hands when I can tell that Dimitru is ready for this ride. I click my tongue for Dimitru to walk on; he does so.
We walk along the fence line until reaching the gate of the trail I want to take. This trail I only take in winter because it is even ground and cleared for winter rides such as this one. I unlock the gate for us to walk through when Roxy comes running over to follow us on this ride. I smile to see Roxy by my side. I do want to see how fast she is. I close the gate behind us and make sure everything is good to go before I ride Dimitru into a full gallop.
Then within a few deep breathes released from Dimitru's body, I allow him to trot for now. I want to warm up his body especially in this weather. Dimitru bobs his heads, wanting to go faster however I will not let him for now. Roxy is on the left side of him, doing a slow sprint to stay with us. I grin in how well Roxy is doing for a medium size dog.
Dimitru stomps his hooves into the soft snow underneath him and keeps a nice form in trotting. We pass the mile marker when I encourage Dimitru into a canter. Dimitru goes into it with such ease when we reach the forest trail going the opposite direction of the trail that goes to Luke's house. I let Dimitru into a hand held gallop while I look back to see Roxy is shortly behind us. I don't want to lose Roxy out here since she has yet to explore this trail. Dimitru lifts his legs up higher when some large branches are on the trail. Roxy dodges or jumps over them, staying with us the entire time which is mighty impressive.
The snow is soft like powder for Dimitru to plow right through it like it was any normal ride in the arena as he is panting evenly. Dimitru leaps over a fallen log and continues down the trail through the snowy woods. I lightly bob up and down in the saddle as I ride looking steadily ahead. Dimitru drives through a small creek and gallops through a brief narrow way of the trail. The wind combs through his mane and my hair as we ride.
The longer we ride a layer of snow builds up on Dimitru's mane and the shoulders of my winter jacket. I grin in how much I needed this ride. I truly do have everything I could possibly want in life even though I do not deserve any of it. And the more I ride, the more I feel like I am back in the 14th century, being around things my age of the trees and the land. I know not many things last as the past century progresses further into the future but I am grateful for a good portion of the land to remain untouched.
We keep on going until we reach the third of the trail where the river is. I start to slow Dimitru down since I can let him drink from the river at a heartbeat brought down properly. I slow him down to a trot then a walk when we reach the river. Dimitru walks right to the water drinking some as does Roxy. I take in the beautiful view of the forest covered in snow that it floods my mind with a winter quote.
'I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields that it kisses them gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings til the summer comes again.' – Lewis Carroll
Suddenly I hear several whines from Roxy and she backs away from the river in dread. I bring Dimitru up from the river to make sure Roxy did not hurt herself but she seems terrified to be in this area at all. Then I notice something different in the air that there is no longer any sound of birds or other animals that live around the area. I remain calm but Dimitru starts to get nervous as well with this cold, dreadful feeling in the air. The beauty of winter is blow away within a few moments as I dismount from Dimitru.
Roxy continues to whine terrified like we are not the only ones here. And before I could call for Roxy, she takes off back in the direction we came from and she is running like something is hunting her down. Dimitru remains nervous but I manage to calm Dimitru down as I begin to listen to my surroundings. My hearing picks up the sound of raw ice sounds, snowflakes falling and other animals running, flying and digging deeper into the ground to hide from something.
Then I feel something or someone watching me. I notice Dimitru has his head high, tail tucked in terrified of something while he stands behind me. I look around wondering what it could be. I know it is not a bear or wolf because I would be able to smell their wet winter fur in all of this snow. But there is nothing within my senses as the feeling becomes greater that I am being watched. I close my eyes using my senses without moving to see who it could be.
However I do not see anyone close to me at the moment. I turn around to take in full view of the winter woods until I smell blood. I open my eyes and being to walk the way toward where the smell of the blood is coming from. I lead Dimitru with me even though he is terrified to walk with me. We walk on for a bit until I begin to see a trail of blood start to show from a few drops to lines to hand and body prints of blood.
Before I walk any further, I tie off the reins in a certain way then smack Dimitru on his backend so he can take off back to the trail. Dimitru neighs in dread, running like he has a fire under his ass back in the direction we rode from. He knows the way back to the barn and they will know to call for help when they see him without me on his back. I shudder in terror that this could be the Master Vampire coming to call on me for his Immortal Game of Revenge.
I keep walking forward until the absolute, bleak howling winds spreads through the air. I feel like a bitterly cold, nasty embrace is getting closer like it is clawing to get to me at any way possible. I freeze when I see several more hand prints in the snow but the hand prints are drenched in blood. My eyes look to see the hand prints going to a trail of blood sinking into the pure white snow, leading all the way to the deepest part of the river. This part of the forest is a complete butcher scene, poisoning this part river with the bright red blood like it is one of the plagues God unleashed onto Egypt.
I slowly go over to the edge of the river and immediately step back when my eyes actually see faces within the cold blue water. I place my hand over my mouth in shock of what I have just seen. I realize I only ever seen this kind of bloody scene and felt this kind of feeling with one person in my long years. I am flooded with it all again as it forcefully stitches deep underneath my skin. I do a complete turn wishing it was the Master Vampire rather than who I truly think it is.
I feel myself circling until I immediately turn to find her here. I move back several steps in the terror that she is here or the fact that she is even alive after all this time. I am shocked to see her exactly the same as I remember her and wearing the same dress I gave her after making her into one of my vampire brides. She smiles to me as the memory of the night I left my old life behind floods right back to me and now wants to sink into the new life I worked to build just like the blood to the pure winter river.
"I have returned to you, my Dracula." Her voice cold, piercing but yet a way to pull you in like a trickster does. She smiles with blood staining her whole mouth and teeth at me with the smell fresh blood from the killings she did. Her jet black hair hanging past her shoulders like it has not been done in centuries and her skin is still on the pale side, even for a vampire shows she has feed when arriving to Romania but wants to feed with me now. And her very presence when approaching me remains the same when I felt her before she showed herself.
"Marishka..." I utter out in terror.
My eyes widen when she is face to face with me, placing her cold hands stained with faded blood on my chest, kneeling before me. I feel everything within me crack that it is almost impossible back away from her in fear. But I somehow move my hands away in the dread of touching her because I know that she is real and in front of me. I lift my head to the skies when it unleashes a snow storm on top of us in horror of what will become of everything in my life now when I mentally pray, 'GOD have mercy on all us.'
