Closed off by the tower's roundabout railing, Ed stood near the once open archway entry. This too sealed by inner doors, it created the circular clandestine capsule which served as a moviehouse. As predicted, 13 o'clock sharply rung through the castle—1 PM for those of us whose watches are not instantly adjusted to Transylvanian standard time. Unsure of where to go, Ed awaited for assistance... And as expected, he got it from the umbrous usher. Bats of this size are denominated "phantom" class—well deserved as Midnight rivaled the numerian vampirian in height—the flashlight providing a pinpoint spotlight of ilumination for him to follow. the beam brought the bat's visage into focus... His eyes weighed under a pensive yet furred unibrow, vampiric snout wrinkled as if smelling the hetty scent of his dwelt darkness, gleaming fangs reaching down to about his chin lending him a somewhat thickened voice when parleying amongst passers-by. Splotches of blood smattered his pinkish vest, worn to protect his own usher's uniform from the detritis of the cinema's flooring panels. Gloved hand tended, he guided our guest past posters of Coming Distractions—though Ed never really noticed why they were so—seating him securely at a centered cushion to watch the show. Numbered cloud in the patron's pocket, Midnight departed—wings fully spread out to their fullest extent—delivering his 13th token to the manor's master.

Page 14: Broken Hearts' Club.

Afternoon skies pervaded the castillated landmark. Time ran its course, sunnyness quickly losing some of it's alotted lifespan, evening hours creeping up on the edges of the horizon like conspiratorial whispers. Soft sighing—eminating from nearby the porchway steps—Burke gazed upwards at the now dusking heavens, along with the cute counting cloud. That sad look of mournful regret afixed on her countenance, unshakeable in the reflection visible on her open compact mirror's glass. Silk black hair and silky eyelashes rustling in the cooly blowing wind, she fought back the tears dripping down her teardrop-shaped nose. Gingerly fingering the tattered love note, she dared not remove it from the mirror's pinching edging—lest the last shred of love in her life be carried away, lost both it and her broken heart forever. Heart-shaped as she was, she had only sighing sadness to give, though she found a reserved respite in this haunted home. Quietly closing her compact, the black broken heart was back at her side—beating slowly in time with her own—as she retrieved out of her swaying dress punctuated by the punched-out half-hearts (her personal emblem) the marble 14 she would gift the Count as thanks for understanding her plight, not asking too many questions, simply allowing her to find some semblance of hushed happiness here.

... Ziffled by Squeekers, whom I thank for helping me with this haunter.
You like? *Wonders why Beth hasn't said anything yet. Oh well, maybe the next two will get her and Java back in here.

 

[BeakerSqueedom]

Poor Burke...
I sympathized her. ;_;
*Sniffles*

Don't cry, dearie!
*Wails*

EDIT 2:

Yes, Squeakers liked it---no, she loved it!

I'm here Ed! I don't know how I missed chapter 13, but I just read through it and chapter 14. More good stuff, such a sadness to Burke, but yet there is something beautiful about her. I'm anxious to read more!

 

[BeakerSqueedom]

See, Eddie?
I'm psychic.
