Rochelle @ Friday Fictioneers
has challenged us once again
to write a 100 word story
using the image below as a prompt.
This is what came to mind.
“What is this place, Draco, and why have I never seen it before?”
“Ah, Natalia, this is the most prized room in the castle! Very few know of its existence …. only those whom I trust implicitly with my deepest secrets, those whom I know will never speak of this room to another living soul.”
“Oh, dearest Draco! Tell me truly. Does this mean you love me?”
“Love you, Natalia? No, my dear. It’s not love that rules my vampiric heart, but lust.”
And with that he ravished her atop the sarcophagus before sinking his teeth into her comely neck.

Well, that story sucked. At least from Natalia’s point of view. Draco had a nice candlelight Christmas feast.
