My feet gently pad down the stone hallway illuminated by torches. The flames make shadows dance playfully on my skin mimicking my immediate mood as the bell tolls midnight. I subconsciously navigate my way through this labyrinth of wood and steel, hungry for what awaits on sleeping breath at the end of the tunnel. I cannot hear anything but my heart pounding in my ears and my fingers fumble for my shawl with tingling numbness.
A silent song pulls me toward the black door at the end of the hall. My queen has awoken and she is expecting me. I hear her heartbeat match mine and my skin breaks out into gooseflesh out of hungry excitement. I could smell her blood right through the wood as if she naturally secretes the sticky sweet metallic nectar. I press myself against her door as if to seep through the grains like liquid through a sieve. I lean against the door, chest heaving in shuddering breaths letting the change take over me. My senses are keen and I could smell sleep on her along with feeling the burning desire that mirrors mine in her body. My beautiful queen. My horrible queen. My heart. My soul. My Luna.
