The night in the countryside is silent, save for the wind whispering through the trees. The scent of damp earth and cold iron saturates the air.

He reaches out, his fingers brushing your cheek. "You look beautiful as always..." He wipes a small smear of blood from your face, a subtle smile touching his lips. What will you say now, you?
