She peddled hard down the narrowly twisted sidewalk. The moon shone bright, reflecting the exhalation of her breath. A dog's cry was heard in the distance. She jerked to a stop in fear, accidentally flying herself towards the night.
Thud.
She lay in the pits of darkness, being vacuumed into the void, being swallowed up by stones with engraved names.
"Help!" she screamed, but could not be heard. Her voice became trapped in the silence.
She writhed through the black till she could do it no more. Then all was still. Her breath seized a moment; the moonlight was becoming dim.
A crack in the background shook her. She sat silently as the creaking came closer. A short breath could be heard. A little cry from the girl was released.
"Is…" a breath "… someone there?" A huge intake of the crisp night air flowed into the figure of the dark.
Though the silhouette could not be seen fully, it showed a man. He stood tall to the headstones, receiving a giantized look. His body was thin, as if he hadn't eaten for days. No facial features could be made out. He felt his way through the graves with his fingers.
"Who… who's there?" the man exhaled.
"H-hello?" the girl squeaked. "I-I'm here." She shakily got up to meet the black form of a man.
The shine of moon crept over the pair, revealing them to each other. The man, a rough six feet tall, towered over the child. She looked to him with a sparkle of terror shone in her eyes. The man, in seeing this, moved towards her, wrapping his arms about her.
"There is…" slight cough "… nothing to be afraid of, Child." The man pet her hair lovingly to hopefully calm her. "It is I, your Master."
Softness fell upon her face as she recognized the man. She sunk her face into his chest, holding him to her tightly, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I've missed you so much! Where did you go? I thought you left me for good…" She looked down sadly.
The man sighed heavily as he lifted the girl. She let out a small squeal, but stopped when she saw he means no harm. He took them both over to a large grave stone. He sat down on the cool, damp ground, leaning against the stone. She looked to him softly as she's placed upon his lap.
"My Pet, I've been gone for a while, yes, but I would never leave you." Long fingers flowed through the child's mane and she smiled.
"I'm ready, if you wish, Master" She braced herself, but released when nothing came. "Master?"
She looked to him, but before she could do anything, his mouth lunged from the depths of black, his lips making a home upon her warm neck, his teeth sinking into flesh. A small squeak purses her lips as she falls against the man.
