THE TRAGIC SAPPHICS Prologue

November 28th, 1839 - Magdellena

They warned me. All those years ago, they warned me. 

“It's dangerous at night.” I knew that. Every person with half a brain knows what lurks at night. 

Creatures of the night, disfigured in their curse. They’ll peel your flesh from your bones and lick the blood from your remains, for their fangs were made for tearing. For ripping your soul apart at the seams and making you one of them. Part of them; like a patchwork quilt of death and decay.

Your skin will grow back pale and thin, dark marks of the dead staining every forgotten wound.  There is no warmth, no semblance of humanity left. Where your heart once beat proudly within your chest, there is only silence and a dull ache. There's only rot now, foul and acrid. The only human part of you is the stolen blood that courses through your veins. You remember who you were, but you’ll never be that person again.

And as his teeth found my neck, that is exactly what I had become.

I had met him in the observatory. I loved the stars, and he knew that. Charming me with falsified interest.  It had been a date, with a dinner of only sweet desserts laid out on a fleece blanket, illuminated by candle light. And though the observatory was old and decrepit, it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. A dream come true.

It was then that he fell upon me. And no matter how I fought, my fate was inevitable.

I was only a girl then; young, vibrant, filled with awe. His fangs have left me broken and defiled, a mere shell of my former self. 

They warned me, and I didn't listen. 

Oh god, I wish I would have listened.
