       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.
