Re: Prologue: Eve Vosmus
She could do little more than lay there as the sun continued to set, overwhelmed as she was by the sickness and her conflicted emotions. It seemed like she had been there waiting forever when she heard a distant shout from somewhere within the castle followed by the din of fighting. It echoed across the stone floors and she could do little but wonder what was happening as she felt the first rattle of death shake her small frame.
Try as he might she knew there was no way her love could save her in time now, it was too late. Another rattle and she felt her life beginning to slip away and her eyes closed as the sound of the combat came closer. She drifted off into blackness as the fighting grew louder. She could hear both Erasmus and Lord Christien though she had no clue what was happening as she passed from the mortal coil.
A strange sensation of some cold, coppery tasting liquid as it passed her lips and went down her throat was the last thing she felt.
----------
Eve's eyes flicked open, she could see her room within the castle. The light had completely faded but she knew it was her room. Somehow things were different as she woke up, an incredible gnawing hunger filled her mind. She seemed to have no control over her body as she stumbled to her feet and saw Erasmus laying on the floor a cup next to his hand as he lay unconscious. She could do little but stare in horror as whatever was controlling her leaped to attack her true love.

Yes, I'm a dork and an extremely mean old man. Just don't waffle on me yet, the happy is just around the bend.
