The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Closeness was the one thing she never offered, strategically putting walls up to prevent anyone from ever getting to close to her flame. Many tried, and some got around the walls, but always backed off when they felt the heat radiating off of her. Then came the person that made it around the walls without her ever noticing. When she did notice she knew he still wouldn't manage to get close, they could never make it through the heat to reach the flame.

His approach barely registered with her, until the day came where he was reaching through the flame. Touching her, calming the flame that engulfed her. Touch that offered her quiet calm. Touch she leaned into. Touch she welcomed.
