I grabbed the railing and pulled myself upright and slowly unfurled the leg I had landed on, blood gushed out with every flex of movement. I ran my finger along the bloodied jeans, a hiss forced it way past my teeth when I agitated the shot wound. Swallowing the pain was barely an option, my thighs cramped agonizingly as if dealing with it is energy expenditure enough. Of course, baby steps wouldn't be able to save anyone. My head was yanked back. I screamed because of the unforgiving grip that yanked me away from my only support, my feet no longer touched the ground. I frantically scratched at the hand in my hair. My body goes still when I faced the featureless darkness looking down at me. It would cost me to keep fighting but the price of being still seemed greater. "I want to survive!" I grit my teeth. "Let go of me!" I sink my nails in this thing's hand. Suddenly a howl filled my ears and I was falling. I collided with the ground head first. I lifted her face from the ground, white comforting cotton-like balls fluttered before my eyes. "Snow?" I sat up, hard white under my palm. "Where did all this ice come from?" Had the ground always been froze "Oh god, I'm going to die alone." Something escaped my eyes or was it the rain still hitting my face. I didn't know, it was all so cold. When did it get this cold? I raised her hand, the tumultuous sky blurred and her eyes stung. "Rohan", my lips trembled. But I've given it everything, nothing left to hold me together and the dam burst. "I'm scared", I wailed, "I don't want to die." "I won't let you." Hallucinating in my last moments? Life is too cruel. A larger hand covered my own, beautiful pale fingers laced with mine. We fit like pieces of a puzzle. The other arm gently cradled me to his side. He pressed his lips to the back of my hand. His dark eyes held mine, the golden specks glistening with an emotion I've never seen on him, "sorry for being late."

He looked over at me in the dimness, fingers loose in my grip. "You are hurting me," he said, without interest. He had caked powder on his already pale skin, all of one shade except for points made by a hot pencil. Though it was no longer the mode at court, the new fashion more ostentatious and overdrawn, he still favored it, and as I did. My fingers crept up his wrist. I felt rough punctures, half healed and raw, a scattering of them, and I pulled. Laurent could not resist, weakened by the drawing of his blood. My vocal cords had been severed by the younger one's teeth, and so I could not speak, but I pushed up his sleeve, the luxury of his white linen, and found his arm colored like a polluted river. I touched the bites with my fingertips, ten, fifteen, twenty. "I have felt your judgment already," L whispered, trying to pull his arm back, "I have felt it these now two hundred years. Judgment judgment. Cry not. Is it pity? You are a cold thing, without heart, to judge me for what I do. Prideful toad." His arm muscles worked against my grip beneath his blood bruised skin. "Unhand me. Wretched, lye-broken flesh." After a time, he made a sound like a trapped fox, a dying child's keen, and gave up, lying back on the bed such that his hair fell across my face. My other hand found his neck and stroked him. "You will not know what it feels like, good heart," he said to me, softly, doing me one of his gentle nips of an insult, "for love to change you in an instant." He relaxed under my stroking, and his tone softened. "I only meant to help him die." ** After his untimely death, the story of the vampire "L" comes together. Devotees tell the story from many points of view across history, painting a portrait of a man crushed by great loves, desperation, and the indifferent march of time. featured 3/9/16 complete 8/31/16 Cover by @ferret-bird
