Crusidian Candles

The candles are flickering.

Avery and James watch the flames seethe down the wick and melt away the wax.

A constant reminder that their love can never be.

The candles are arranged in a heart. Soon to be a broken link in life's chain of occurrences.

They knew this was their fate. So, why did they fall so deep?

Avery let her fears fade for this man. Just to watch them rise up again and capture her in its web of dark lies.

James broke a promise he thought unbreakable. He promised his deceased lover that he would never love again.

The last night of thid life. If only they could find a place to hide.

But, it's far too late.

Thunder crashes and waves of blood flood the Earth.

The raid has begun.

There's no turning back now.
