Black Velvet Dress
Violet’s pulse raced and she felt her throat constrict the moment her fingers ran through the fabric of the dress.
“You are mine”
She heard the voice as if it whispered directlty into her ear. She jumped and spun around, but of course no one was there. Subconciously her fingers reaced up to the spot on her neck. She could feel the pin pricks of pian. She almost expected her fingers to come away with blood on the. But there was nothing.
Her mind took her back to that night.
It was cold and there was a light mist in the air. The moon was full. She was on her way home from the party. A party she never wanted to go to. Her friend, Megan (or so she had thought at the time) urged Violet go with her. Megan told her she didn’t want to go alone, she insisted that Violet needed to go out have some fun, be more carefree and open to expeirence. Finally Violet agreed. She wore a black crushed velvet dress.
A dress like the one she ran her fingers through. the dress which appered on her bed, though she did not put it there.
Of course once they got to the party Megan abandonded her. Violet could not find Megan anywhere. Finally Violet gave up and deided to leave. Because the night was cold and damp, but bright from the light of the moon Violet decided to take a short cut through the park.
As Violet walked she suddenly became aware of how eeriely silent the park became. She could not even here the sound of the wind whispering through the trees or the distant city sounds. She stopped a moment and looked around her, The mist suddenly seemed thicker but the moon was still bright and clear above.
Then suddenly her eyes fell upon the pale figure. She was certain she was alone before. Where did her come from? She felt strangely tansfixed. Oddly she did not feel fear, but she also did not feel as if she could move.
After that she does not remeber what happened. She woke up in the hospital, though there were no signs of injury, they told her she was found passed out in the park.
Once she got home she through away the dress, the dress that was now on her bed. Her eyes glanced up to the window and she realized it was another full moon night.
