Allured

Continuation and final chapter to my last story 'Falling Victim To Her Prey ..."

It was dark by the time they reached. What was at first an aimless walk, had later turned into one with an extreme sense of anticipation and awe on her part. "Who is this man?" She had mused all the way, and couldn't help the nervous tension that enveloped her, her hands kept twisting and untwisting to which both she and the mysterious shadow of a man were oblivious. It wasn't normal for her to be captivated by someone, and especially not by a man. On the way, her beast had strangely been curbed of his thirst, which was strange in itself. 

The man came to a halt but stood still, as she too, upon dimly realizing it, stopped walking. The sound which her heels made upon the concrete road made the man turn and look over his shoulder. Even from a distance, he seemed to be towering over her. Finally, he turned to face her and drew closer. She gasped in horror.

The expression on his face, what she had deemed as beautiful and alluring before, was now taunting and menacing, his features not so handsome. Had it been a trick her eyes had played upon her? Her thoughts took an abrupt direction. Survival. As much ashamed she was at this thought, that was what had come to her mind, the alarm bells ringing shrilly in her ears. 

Her beast still slept. 

What little distance was left between them ended, as, in one swift motion, the man almost pounced, his teeth bared. She could smell his breath, as she was sure he could too; her ragged breathe didn't exactly help the matter either, 'cause the man knew exactly how she felt. So this is how it always felt to my victims... she thought, feeling tiny drops of sweat beading down her spine. 

Even though she hadn't heard his voice so far, it came as a shock when she heard him speak in a strangely silky, smooth voice, which even in her seemingly last moments, almost washed over her.

"You're dead, m'lady."

Everything went dark, the kind of dark she'd never imagined in this lifetime ..........

'... Even though she hadn't heard his voice so far, it came as a shock when she heard him speak in a strangely silky, smooth voice, which even in her seemingly last moments, almost washed over her.
"You're dead, m'lady." ' For me, there's a clue in this as to how a person or apparent 'being', actually
represents itself. But, even more as to how written words are laid before another's eyes, how slick they are or - how hesitant as if needing to take care before actually airing a view. Once spoken, nuances coat language and manipulate it?!

As always you complete your task with amazing skill.

I love your viewpoint here, and the way you really read my stuff in between the lines. And I so agree, appearances can be deceiving, as we've learned...
Thank you so much for appreciating, Emma. x

What a deeply moving, passionate, powerful account that comes to life with a dark music. It is good to see the expanse and depth of your writing. How I have loved your poetry, and this is another level of you, another passage of you, stories coming to life, even stories that carry mysteries and death with them. May the words always speak through you.
