The Shivery Place

He had learned to enjoy the “playfully sadistic” at a very young age and was proud of his progress since then. Sadly, the many ‘gifts’ his unknown parentage had given him did not include immortality. Something he hoped to correct when he sired a son. He would be his immortality.He had chosen a mother for his offspring out of all those in the world. One whose exploits he had heard about in the dark, secret, forbidden places he sometimes frequented. She alone was worthy of him…of the honor he would soon bestow. The very beautiful Charlotte Ravynne. Her little sister Meg would be the leverage he needed to get her to do whatever he desired.He had such plans for them both. First, he would play a little game with them...test their mettle. See how they reacted to the horror he could conjure up. It all promised to be such fun.
