~dark lashes lay, perfect crescent moons upon the palest of skin. Skin drawn taut over skeletal features of what was once a stunning creature. Long wavy blonde hair once shiny, was now coated in layers of dust and grime and hung about an emaciated figure that rested upon a cool stone slab platform a few feet above the floor. Eyelids flickered and twitched before a small frown of irritation furrowed the brow... the first sign of movement in years..~
~irritated at the interruption of slumber Sini furrowed her brow before slowly opening her eyes... pools of pure onyx veritably glittered in the dark as they slowly studied the surroundings. Rats had managed to burrow in through the heavily packed dirt floor and appeared to have made this their domain. Stupid rodents... at least they were there to snack on. Sliding her tongue across rows of pearly white teeth and two pearly black fangs a sickly smile slowly creased the brittle skin of Sin's face... her lips cracking.. but not bleeding. Slowly she tried to lift herself, finding it near impossible. No wonder she had awoken... it was feasting time. Using the little strength she did have available to her after so many years asleep she pulled herself over to the edge, and then over the edge of the stone platform upon which she had rested. Landing with a sickly "thud" upon the packed dirt floor, rats scurrying about in panic at this sudden intrusion upon what they had considered "their" space... not realizing the crypt was already inhabited~
~closing her eyes once more, Sin allowed her other senses to take over... she could hear the blood coursing through their furry little bodies, their footsteps carrying them closer and closer with curiosity and anticipation that perhaps the intrusion might be a new food source... one hand lay palm up, fingernails resembling claws more than anything else. A brush of fur, a few steps and the first victim was trapped before it could so much as inhale its next breath... a few short seconds later its bloodless corpse tossed up onto the stone platform, the rest of the rodents unaware...~ |
