Somewhere in the shadows, while you’re dancing with your Queen...

Aurora kept hearing an awful sound and didn’t even realize that she was the one that was screaming. Screaming and crying as she held Tatiana’s lifeless body in her arms, her hands covered in the girl’s blood. Her ears were buzzing and none of this seemed real. 

stands the Devil waiting for the chance to cut in....

And that awful poem was stuck in her head like a song on repeat. Like Zadrian was screaming the words at her while laughing, like her image of him was mocking her and her grief. “Wake up, wake up...Taty, please...” she cried, while rocking her. But she knew Tatiana wasn’t going to wake up. 

So when the Devil asks you to dance, you better say never...

Aurora cried out her brother’s name in pure rage and desperation. Even though she had the gift of manipulating hearts, he had crushed hers. Slowly Tatiana’s body slipped from her hands. “I’m sorry...I’m so sorry...” she whispered. She should have known better than to underestimate her brother. A cold demeanor crawled over Aurora, her eyes going lifeless as she managed to stand up. She moved through the hallway like a ghost, people whispering because she was covered in blood. She didn’t knock when she arrived at Zadrian’s room. She just opened the door and stood there, utterly defeated.

because a dance with the Devil, might last forever.
