Courted By the Vampire
“Hannah wandered through long empty corridors—the walls, the ceiling, and the floor were all white. Through the swirling haze that masqueraded as her brain, she thought about Edwin. Where was he? Was he well?

As she entered the courtyard, the impersonal whiteness gave way to mellow sunlight. Emerald green grass tickled her bare feet. A reflecting pool, also of white marble, held prominence in the middle of the oasis, not even a tiny ripple marred the perfection of the turquoise water’s surface. She itched to draw a finger through the inviting water but refrained from doing so. It would be sacrilege somehow.
