The wood shifts and moans, begging eerily for the heat of cold, merciless death. Red flames hungrily lap the hem of his crow-black jacket that hangs from him like melting wax. His smile, seductive and sinisterly sweet, carves wide across his high cheekbones. His eyes, blazing burgundy red, laughs manically in the space around them… and the flames adore him. Caressing and kissing every portion of his lithe form, their heat swelled tongues lapping up along his thighs, though they never seem to burn him. He lifts his hand, the blood oozing between the long digits like syrup being splattered onto pancakes. His long swerving tongue laps up the red ribbons, cleaning his white pressed gloves of the metallic liquid, before retreating like a snake into the caverns of his mouth. Eyes dripping with a burning desire he strides gracefully forward, the flames and smoke bellowing out around him. He approaches the slightly trembling boy with care, as though any sudden movement would scare the child away, before stopping and dipping down to bow at its feet. The child stares somberly down at him, his eyes narrowing in a slight form of disgust and admiration.
"It is done, My Lord." Voice bittersweet and rich, dripped from his lips like chocolate and the child relaxed slightly at the sound of the velvety intonation.
"Take me home." The child commands, voice cracking slightly as the smoke grows thicker in the air. The man smiles up at him, a devious parting of lips, before he stands and towers over the boy again.
"Yes, My Lord." Long arms encircle the child's lanky form, pulling him into the broad suited chest, his coat and shoulders shield the boy's face from the smoke and flames as the man turns, gingerly making his way through the burning wreckage. The moon stares onward, the silent observer of this translucent night; it's pale light not shining on the two receding figures. Where they are going there is no light, no warmth. Why must the moon provide them with it? It would not prove anything anyway. Their souls are already lost…
This was up before but I (douche-baggily) used one d r a m a t i s . e c h o's descriptions (I still feel absolutely terrible about that) so I went back and edited chapter one so it's now 100% original.
