Say Your Prayers, You're Really Gonna Need Them.

Image

Aka: Living The Legacy Of Night

Ruse is 18 years old.

She's just managed to recover from an illness and thought everything would go back to normal, only it hasn't.

There's someone...
something making it hard for her and giving her alot more than she bargained for.

First there’s the dreams, sickeningly compelling and the next one even harder to work out than the first, but they're always there
and worst all of all they all keep leading back to him.

When you hear the word vampire you tend to think of the castle, the flying, the bats.
Ever think maybe that's just a fabrication... that only some of the stereotypes hold their weight for anything?
Ruse didn't, she didn't want to even be considering those type of things.

But what if the vampire is someone you love to hate?

Someone who takes your breath, and makes you come undone.

In more ways than you thought was humanly possible,

but oh wait there's nothing human about this situation.

And certainly nothing humane.

[When i wrote this i used Gerard way as inspiration for my lead male character.
But only looks-wise]
So it's still original fiction.

I may not own Gerard ways' looks but I certainly own Harlan Frayt and Ruse Salvin,
as well as all other original characters used in this story.
And the most important part of all, I own THE PLOT.

  1. Homecoming
    What do you do when you know somethings bad for you?
  2. Am i behind those eyes, like a target on lockdown?
    You're so close.
  3. Baby, I’ve got a fascination.
    and you persuade without intention
  4. All the nerves nerves turned on
    and no where to hide, i can see you...and so can they.
  5. Did you help me find the long way home?
    diminish my fear
  6. The tragedies reside in you
    no-ones ever moved like you, how on earth can i keep hold?
  7. Can you fall asleep with a panic switch?
    Wanna burn skin, And brand what once was mine.
  8. Fierce play gets you everywhere.
    Baby im the master of this game.
  9. I swear any moment you will hear,
    my spirit exploding with panic, with fear.
  10. All you have to do is run away,
    You're the flower that i can't keep.
  11. People pushin by, they're walking off into the night.
    Deep down and hidden from light.
  12. I flavor to taste, because taste is free.
    Pay me.
  13. Nothing left to say, and all I've left to do;
    Is run, run away from you.
  14. Lying towards an innocent smile
    you ought to be grateful.
  15. You're audaciously gracious about this whole affair
    and i'm breathing your ultimatums, waiting for you to care.
  16. So you forgot what you sound like?
    That's no way to relax.
  17. Can you touch above the dreams,
    and asphyxiate the screams?
  18. And what I've recovered of me,
    I put into a box underneath my bed.
  19. For years i've been sleeping.
    Helpless, couldn't tell a soul.
  20. From the pages to your head you give up,
    on trying to make things make sense.
  21. Shoulders are wide this time,
    helps me feel like a strong grounded man.
  22. Mama's the sweetest,
    alarm clock around.
  23. There is something just along the horizon,
    that makes my breath come in short sharp bursts.
  24. I'm not your toy,
    still i can't stop doing what you ask of me boy.
  25. A dream of soft focus,
    sunsets filters through the din.
  26. And I can't cut a rug, without my fashion drugs;
    inebriation, leads revelation.
  27. We dismiss the backroads
    And ride the streets unafraid.
  28. I'm staring from a distance,
    Why don't you come get a closer look?
  29. Well I'm one third passion
    And I'm two thirds pride.
  30. I'm digging my own hell,
    'cause I want you bad.
  31. She's got her reasons, I've got my forgets,
    Of tears and idle threats.
  32. Here the lights fall just as hard,
    A bit softer in the stall.
  33. And you're saying you're seeing,
    you're saying who you are
  34. Coldest eyes, and the softest touch;
    To open my eyes and see you laughing.
  35. I was cast away once,
    But i will be found again.
  36. They stole the children,
    Took them away.
  37. Well you're just a male.
    But maybe, not a man.
  38. Open your eyes,
    To these must I lie?
  39. She shakes your soul up through the ceiling,
    the innocent heathen.
  40. You're drowning in the white light,
    there's no time for the safe height.
  41. I imagine you when I was distant,
    non-existant.
  42. Secrets don't save the soul,
    but they build the bridges that friendships uphold.
  43. Feels like I am looking down from the ceiling,
    You depart, then show and leave me reeling.
  44. I followed suit and laid out on my back, imagine that.
    A million hours left to think of you and think of that.
  45. And I hate that tomorrow's too soon.
    But this collision, came mid bloom
  46. Iron in the body;
    Tick, tick, tick.
  47. The more we move, the less we owe ourselves;
    and when we finally step, we change to something else.
  48. Searching for somewhere to exist,
    Weak and unable to resist.
  49. Do you want to own me angel?
    'cause I own you now you're gone.
  50. Stopped short with a glance.
    Are you even sure of where you are?
  51. i've got the mood set, half past midnight,
    me and my soldiers are dancin' in the street lights.
  52. Make the journey, break the times.
    Don't deliver, what you cannot hear.
