Disclaimers: These are original characters in an original story that belongs solely to me. I dreamed the whole thing, and believe me, if I can get half of it down on paper I think you’re gonna like it. Any resemblance to anyone, living or dead, is purely coincidental. This story will eventually deal with same sex couples, so if this is illegal where you live or it just plain is not your bag, please move on.

The only thing in nature to which she could equate that shade of blue was during the height of the summer storms. It was the intense cerulean color of the most powerful lightening as it arched to the ground. She was drawn to the beast, loosing herself in it’s eyes. She felt herself moving forward, and could not have stopped even if she wanted to. She had to get closer to those eyes…those eyes…those eyes…that soul…
