Drabble Wednesday: Dark Roads and Wrong Turns

Today, on Drabble Wednesday, I bring you hungry things, temptation indulged, and the horrors under the stairs...

Angels and Bunnies

I think I’m dead. I’m staring at an angel. Sitting on a swing holding a bunny.

“He’s my pet. And you’re not dead. Not yet.”

Huh? She knew what I was thinking?

“Oh, yes, your thoughts are clear. But I’m no angel.”

Oh. I must be dreaming.

“In a way. You’re hallucinating from my venom.”

Venom?

“Yes. Injected when I bit you. You took a wrong turn last evening, walking in the park.”

Bit me? Walk? Wait. I did take a walk.

“Yes. And crossed my path. Too bad for you. I’m hungry, you see. And so is the bunny.”

Seduction

Why did I listen?

Why did I leave the village with the wizard?

It wasn’t his handsome face, or his beautiful voice, or those honeyed words he whispered in my ear. I knew he spun me lies, that he meant none of the promises spilling from his silver tongue.

I followed him anyway.

I knew he’d lead me where I wanted to go. Take me to the place I needed to be.

I used him.

Now he’s a bleeding sacrifice on my altar, and I’m in the arms of my god.

Death has finally accepted my offering.

Accepted my love.

The Bottom of the Stairs

“Don’t go downstairs.”

“Stay away from the lower chamber.”

“No one who wanders down there ever comes back.”

The warnings echoed in my head as I stood at the top of the staircase. The steps spiralled down into darkness. It wasn’t hard to believe the stories of unnatural creatures living beneath the castle proper.

If only I hadn’t dropped the letter.

I didn’t want to go, but I needed to retrieve it. I started downstairs, my tread echoing off the wood. I sighed when my foot touched the bottom.

Find the letter. Climb back up.

Then something grabbed my ankle...
