How salt water draws

She floated in the salt soaked sea, a dark shadow against dark
waters. She relaxed and let the water swallow her. She sank into
the cool depths,down to where the moon was a smear of white on a
canvas of onyx.She closed her eyes to block out even that...
..her mind wandered free. She found herself in the past she had
lived, being swallowed in it's enormity. Childhood was a sunny
day warming her skin as she ran through the mountains, night
fell and Gesu became the light in her sky, his gaze cooling her
skin, his beauty causing her to stop running and to leave the
mountains behind. She couldn't weep for her loss, she couldn't
long for what may have been, there was only him. Her days filled
with thoughts of him even as she studied, her nights filled with
dreams of him. The pain she convinced herself was pleasure
because all she wanted was his touch, and even though it hurt it
must be good because he smiled as he transformed her into his
vision. A vision she prayed would make her worthy of more in his
eyes - but never happened as she imagined. Even as he embraced
her she prayed to be worthy of him ... of his desire. She became
his childe ... his daughter in a house of men. She worked
endlessly to prove her worth, to advance her fleshcrafting so
she could create beauty as he did. She starved herself in the
cages and tore visions of the future from her Beast as he raged.
She watched her brother go to do their Sire's bidding in
Transylvania. She ignored her terror when he sent Thomas to kill
him..and his childe. She convinced herself there had to be more
of a reason..more than a failed attempt at building monasteries
in a distant place. She hid it from herself because her Sire was
all to her, he could not be so cruel ... could not be. But still
she went to the cages and wept for her brother and wept more for
the lost childe he left behind...her visions of the Moor in a
tower haunting her. Magib ...
He legs jerked and her arms shot out to touch the vision of the
Moor. There under the water and her eyes opened as she began to
float to the surface, her mind flailing as her body just had at
a memory she had hidden away from herself.
