tainted

Trudging through the fresh blankets of snow, wearing my negligee and one of his old trench coats, i remember the pain the searing pain and yet now nothing the bitter cold biting me has numbed me to the beating i had taken.
Drops of blood tainting the pristine snow, my foot falls lost in the swirls and chaos of the storm. short sold piercing gasps of breath, a deep cold settles in my bones. i have trudged for the last half hour, i know in his drunk stupor and deep sleep he will not search me out till tomorrow night, another beating another day to go by, but i will be absent then. I see it now the edge of the forest, i pick up my pace, staggering through i come to a clearing.
a pond still and frozen in time with swirls of beautiful untamed chaos flowing above the ice.
Be still my frozen heart im in love, i step out slowly. Close my eyes and slip across the ice, and dance to the cascade of music in my mind.
i feel myself lagging and open my eyes to the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. A Wolf, black, dominating, powerful and yet i felt no fear, just peace. i slowly glide to him and kneel.
reach out and touch his fur soft and electrifying. i close my eyes and fall. i hear a deep voice utter one word in the storm. MINE.
