Author's Note: Here are two versions of a drabble I wrote, in response to the challenge to fill in the space between two lines of dialogue--in this case, from Episode 10, "Sleeping Beauty". It is written from Mick's point of view and is in the first person. The second version is plays with the line order in order to create a visual image as well as a mental and emotional one.
Thanks to MyImmortal for playing with the line order with me.
Rated PG-13 for vampire themes and implied violence and sexuality.
Drabble: Till Death (version 1)
“You still care for her, don’t you?”
How can you look at me with your 20-something callowness and ask that question, Beth?
She was a siren, beckoning from the rocks.
She stole my music.
She was my executioner.
She sucked the life from me and replaced it with hot, sweet poison.
She was the angel of desire.
She hit me like a tornado, ripping me off my foundation, slamming me into a different world.
She was the monster that lurks in the dark.
She smiled while I tore out the throat of some poor girl I never even knew.
She was my teacher.
She was my mother.
“She was my wife.”
