(Femmeslash!) Take it from Venus Capaldi: once you've wracked up a few decades of the undead life, it really starts to lose its charm. And now that she's coming up on a couple of centuries, things are turning downright dark. Substance abuse meets an eating disorder meets exceptional self-loathing in the life and times of Venus, but she's latched on to a new position in the vampiric division of the local police force in an attempt to give herself something more to live for. But these murders are dark, seemingly innocent young werewolves butchered by some serial torturer with a vendetta, and she and her partner Sparkman can't seem to get to the bottom of it all, not even with the help of Venus's seriously boosted sense of smell, one unexpected and unusual perk of her entry into immortality. She's determined to find answers for the victims of these heinous crimes -- but whether that determination will distract her from her destructive urges (and a certain brunette healer that she just can't seem to get enough of) remains to be seen. Ha, 'remains to be seen.' She thinks she's seen enough remains to last a lifetime, thank you very much. She's had her fill of rotten corpses in bathtubs and bloated, stinking dead men in dumpsters and... Ugh. This is going to be a long, long case...

My dream continued the one I'd been having for the past couple of nights. I ran, gasping for breath, through the familiar woods from a dark figure behind me. The faster I tried to run, the slower I seemed to go, until it was like I was running in place. I knew I needed to run. I was terrified of what the figure would do when he caught me. "Mara Leigh," a deep, smooth voice called. It was almost hypnotic. That was new. The figure had never spoke before now. I ran as fast as I could go, eyes searching the forest floor for a big stick or something that I could use to defend myself. "Mara Leigh!" the voice came again, this time more insistent. The forest slowly started to fade and I started to awake to someone shaking my shoulders. "Beau?" I mumbled, turning my head to the side. What's Beau doing in my room this time of night? Why is he shaking me? "Do not call me that name." My eyes flew open as I jumped at the voice from my dream. A face was right in front of mine, and just like the voice, it wasn't Beau. Before I could form a scream, a hand covered my mouth. I tried to bite it but I couldn't get my mouth to open. He's too strong. I started to use my whole body to try to get away, but he crawled on top of me, holding me down. I pulled the hidden knife out from under my pillow and slashed as hard as I could at him, but he just grabbed my wrist and squeezed it until the pain made me drop the knife. Then he grabbed both my hands in one of his and held them over my head. He held me down while I struggled. I grunted and moved and tried to kick and scream, but I only wore myself out. Exhausted, I stopped thrashing and let the tears flow freely down my cheeks. I didn't know what to do, so I just tried to prepare myself for whatever was coming.
