DANCE WITH THE DEVIL TONIGHT

Her back is turned and her head is low to the ground as I imagine she is devouring the innards of the hare. Yet when she moves to address me – her face finally revealing itself and eyes glowing like gems – I feel all but well. My head feels light and my heart pounds a thousand times per minute within my chest, threatening to burst into pieces. All of the forest in its fiery glory turns to black and my eyes can only focus on her – this beautiful masked angel before me. With Faline I had never felt like this, not this intense, and so I am nearly struck down in the presence of this stranger. But I knew what caused it all.

‘What?’, It is a singular word that splinters the haze that I had become engulfed with and I blink once or twice before realizing she had actually spoken to me. Her full attention is upon me, a dangerous thing I would think, and her smaller figure moves to come toward me. I press back into my hind paws, leaning into them slightly, as she presses closer into my own space. It was not fear that caused me to be wary of her but more so the threat behind being so close to her. If she allowed me this intimate closeness could I ever really let her out of my reach? The thought of her leaving now sent a chill through my body. No, I could not have her go after what she has done to me already.

It was not until the blood masked angel spoke that a likeness brought itself to light. Her voice reminded me so much of Isola when I had met her that day in Diveen with her mate. My mind pieces these things together but I won’t let it surface so early on in our conversation. I had to keep her here. One ear cocks back slightly at the sound of something rustling in the distance yet my eyes of black and red are locked upon her beautiful features. I am entranced and unable to look away, even if it killed me. ”Helios. And you are…?” the words happen to come out rather coolly, despite the fire that I feel incinerating me from the inside. This girl would be the death of me.
