Daniella could smell the girl, that perfect scent that invites the darkest of creatures to lay their lips on her smooth, white neck. She could sense the beauty and the gift she held to make life, yet would not use it, the maid knew. Ungrateful, little princess...
An abrupt, shrill scream pierced the darkness of the chapel. After that, the darkness began to edge away under the presence of burning, hot metal.
