She looked out over the people before her, calmly. 

Look up from your
cherry box,
smile upon my
saddened face,
whisper in my ear,
those things you want
to talk about.
I crawl away,
the times I was not
there,
shivering,
I speak out loud.
I don't wanna be here
It is too darn cold,
I just wanna be away,
to where is home.
To my home.
You hold me close,
my day brighter,
I think I might
smile a little more.
We dance under the moon,
the sky our audience.
I speak of truth,
the way we use to lie.

I step out into the night, a lone and solitary figure.
Will you not hunt with me as you have so many times before?
Energy flows through the city tonight.
And I'll stand in the shadows while you reach for the stars.

Will you not take me with you as you have so many times before?
As you have done so many times before.
But I haven't the time to wait for you now.

For the hunger burns deep within me and it demands release.
I am a slave to its power, a lover to its kiss.

Hmmm...what's good she asks? *sets the glass down and looks over his inventory* Ah! Here we are. *fills a goblet with red liquid...the essence, the stuff of life...vitae* This is your preferred brand is it not? *shows her the bottle* As for what's upstairs, I wouldn't worry too much about that yet. All should become clear soon enough. *smiles*
