femslash100's Challenge 407.
The portrait still hangs in her room. Each night she lights a taper in front of it in a ritual she doesn’t quite understand, just to see life spark in oil-painted eyes. Hate and fear still flutter in her breast, but still there is longing. Longing to run her fingers through lustrous dark hair, to feel the darts of pain as she is fed upon and hear soft, sweet words whispered in her ear.
She feels betrayed by herself, but never does she take the portrait down. It is all she has left of her beloved Carmilla save her memories.
