Killing Softly ✞ (gxg)
In a world ravaged by vampires, where humanity clings to survival in hidden camps, Lily, a free-spirited young woman, finds solace and love with Jasmine. But a clandestine meeting under the moonlight shatters their fragile peace, thrusting them into the heart of the very danger they've spent their lives avoiding. Abducted and dragged into the royal vampire castle, Lily confronts the terrifying reality of her new prison and the enigmatic, fearsome Queen. Will her defiance be her doom, or the key to a freedom she never imagined?Sheer blonde hair, as light as the rays of sun casting down and illuminating each of its strands, cascaded down towards the earth, its tips brushing the golden wildflowers and green blades of grass.
Nimble fingertips, as pale as the streaks of white found in some of the wildflowers' petals, stroked the green, jagged leaves that stuck out from the stems of the flowers like tiny arms. The fingertips brushed across the stems of every flower standing amongst the tall grass that swayed softly in the wind, waiting to find the stem of a worthy bundle of petals.
The fingertips finally did, pausing on the stem of a particularly tall and healthy wildflower, its petals fresh and as bright as the glowing sun feeding it from above. The fingertips gently took hold of the stem and pulled it upwards, plucking the flower from the soil.
The flower was raised up and pressed softly against a small nose, grazing against a pair of pink lips that turned upwards at the sweet, natural scent.
