Oh how cruel yet wise they are. My life long search for my true dark love has ended.
You are the culmination.
Everything I have ever sought, ever dreamed has been handed to me with promises of love everlasting.
But the fate who weaves my strand and guides it with deftness is cruel.
She wants me to fight for what I have been given.
And so I do.
With fire in my soul I know what I must do.
But it strains this fragile heart of mine.
Distance and time seem to never end.
I dream of a cage of ice and I am it's prisoner.
It is small and cold and I cry out for someone, anyone.
Please free me from this cell! But there is no one, just empty silence.
Then they come to me, the three fates and Hecate.
The fates are beautiful and dark, their eyes are cold and stare at me as I sit in my cage. My naked body shivers and I curl up to protect myself.
Without words, one of them steps forward, I know she is the one who has done this. She is in control of what has become my destiny.
She raises a hand to the sky and I look up. My cage is small around me, but stories high. At the very top, it is open. I look to her and with frustration in my voice i tell her there is no way I can make it up there. She starts to smile and I feel hot tears forming in my eyes. Why are you smiling? I yell. tears now streak my face. They are red and dark, blood I figure. They stain the floor of my cell and make me even colder. The fate who stands before me now opens her crimson lips as if to speak, but the voice is not of this world or any other I know of. It is as if 10,000 different people are speaking to me at once and the sound is deafening. "You have been given the way out, there is no more that i can do for you. Hecate has truly blessed your dark soul, you are in her favor." My eyes dart to the Goddess Hecate, she is old, yet her eyes tell of great wisdom. She is draped in black and it is a dark aura that surrounds her. She smiles so wickedly to me I almost flinch, but I try to stay calm as she approaches my cell and kneels before me. "You are few that have received this gift. USE IT WISELY!" She yells at me and demons from hell screech her name.
I feel my body is heavier as I try to stand, and as I do, black wings push against the icy walls, making me stumble forward. I turn my head and look confused at these sleek black feathers, how they shine in the light. I touch them softly and I can actually feel myself touching them! They are soft and delicate to the touch. But how am I still going to make it to the top of this cage? It must be impossible. I turn to look at the fates and Hecate and they are gone. Now I am left here, to free myself.
Come sweet darkness and embrace me, you are my solace and only with you am I safe. I tire of this world, it's false profits and lies, deceitful ones whose power is nil.
As I lay myself down, cold and alone, I turn to glance at the empty bedside next to me. With a quick sigh i turn away before the tears come as I know they surely would. To be utterly alone is to truly know pain.
Blue eyes shut, I pull the blankets up to my chin and try to relax into sleep.
But sleep will not come to me this night, as it usually doesn't.
I see him step into the doorway and I still my breath, I do not know this creature.
Moving to me without a step he smiles wickedly, and shining in the dark are his white teeth, fangs and all.
He speaks quietly to me "No longer will you remain here, for now you belong to me."
His eyes I can hardly make out in the dark, but I meet them with a steely gaze "Take this flesh and beating heart you may, but my soul you shall never own."
He pulls my blankets from my body and places a hand on my leg, it is cold yet soft, quite unexpected. A wide grin spreads across his face, he can hear my thoughts. I blink back what may have been dark desires hidden in my subconcious and keep my gaze upon him. His touch begins to warm and he leans down as if to whisper in my ear, but whisper he does not, but his breath on my neck is like ice and sends shivers down my spine. "Do I frighten you?" he asks
"No, do I frighten you?" I ask.
He moves back to look me in the eye and I smile, pearly white teeth, fangs and all.
He tilts his head and squints as if in thought.
Those thoughts I can hear "What creature is this with darkness in her heart and purity in her soul?"
I take his face in my hands and press my lips to his. Fire from within him burns me as I hold him in this dark embrace.
But he is mine and I am his for this night.
As I awake in the suns harsh light I come to reality,
my darling demon was never here, his hands never caressed me, his lips never met mine. A bloody tear comes to my eye, but I brush it back, knowing that he will come, someday.

The waiting for a embrace? Or the embraced waiting for something else?
Well done. :)
