-Three Years Later-

"Madame?" he whispers a sly brusque from in between the darkness.

The Lazarus perches in her thrown of bound guilt and discoloured flesh. A roaring fire blazes before her, tapestries hang from every point of the windowless cellar which she hadn't left for years. Until now..


"Yes Jacob." she purrs from across the room, her contorted face hidden by rags and strips of cloth.


"Something new has cropped up ma'am." his eyes glower from behind the silky blanket of darkness, like fire flies lost to the wind.


"Do i look interested darling?" she twists around in her arm chair resting by the flickering embers of fire, her eyes sarcastic and mocking.


"But it's to do with the Stacey-."


"What did you say?" she sneers, rising from her seat in a mild interest.


"Stacey Green and her friends." he grins, his unnaturally white teeth like glimmering pearls in the black expanse.


The Lazarus approaches him and balls her scaled fist into his tailored suit jacket.


"Tell me what happened, now!" she growls, saliva and blood flying across his face and the floor.


"Bu-..." he begins.


"TELL ME BOY!" she screams at the top of her dusty lungs.


"St-Stac-ey left a n-ot-e m'lady." Jacob splutters and drops to the floor.


"Oh- woopy-fucking-doo fool, a note, a bloody note and you decide to interrupt my thinking?" she yells, her cheeks flaring a violent shade of plum.


"But read it." he stammers holding out a neatly folded square of paper for her to take.


She snatches it from his grasp and opens it up to it's full size.


Her eyes open wide in alarm as they scan the paper, it falls from her grasp and slowly drifts to the ground, the slight touch of it falling against the ground audible in the deafening silence.


The words read bright and big:

"no-.." she sobs slightly,


"my daughter."
