Got a secret.
can you keep it?
swear this one you'll save.
better lock it in your pocket,
taking this one to the grave.
if i show you,
then i know you wont tell what i said.
because two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.

The Past
~Ivory Memories, Onyx Nights, Crimson Secrets~
She was close to the ground, fingers pressing into her temples. Mind twisting in razors and thorns. A Rose she was not. Concentrate.
She couldn't concentrate all she could see was the Touchknow leaning over the ruin of what once was a man. Her pale fingers coated in shining ruby rivulets of the man's blood. His heart was in her hands but it no longer would beat.
Addiction gone wrong, twisting patterns and all around her it was a blood bath. Her fingers pressed to her temples to stop the visions, the pain though kept her from screaming out in the sounds of madness and hysterics.
Loved him to the end. Death do us part... but one was not Jessamyn's husband, not even her lover but the addict that had fallen to her. This one had fallen too fast and too quick, he was weak. Jessamyn needed stronger souls to bond to... to survive. It wasn't so much a feeding, Esme was beginning to understand that her sister needed to survive.
Another glance away from the disturbing image of her sister with a heart in her hands. The mental imagery did not elude her for the personification and symbolism it would suggest.
Her eyes found instead the sight of Jezabelle with one of the jagged blades, one of her favorite knives...as long as her forearm Esme saw it more as a shortsword then a knife but the serrated edges were being thrust so slow through the man's torso, right below the ribs before the upward thrust would bring the blade to touch to the heart.
A slow death.
She wanted to cover her ears as she heard Jezabelle whispering "Shh. Shh. Shh."
Over and Over again as the hand without the knife stroked the beautiful hair of chestnut from the man's face.
Wolves in Sheep's Clothing.
Lions amongst the lambs.
That was what the Three were.
The Blue Sisters.
Such solace and peace, mourning and comfort in the Three.
So many secrets and it all began with that night...
A night out on the town and it was just the beginning.
