The night sky and the lights and noises of the carnival, the movements and conversations of her companions seemed to fade away as he came to her, seeming to move hypnotically, snakelike, ach step closer taking up her field of vision, swallowing her up. And she could not look away. Her heart pounded in her chest and a thrill of fear squirmed and slithered in her stomach and at the base of her throat. Absently, she touched the black linked choker at her neck before bring her hands to stillness.
He stood over her, eyes beautiful and penetrating and she felt a delicious flutter in her stomach and groin. She felt herself blush crimson at the feeling. Why did she feel like her could see into her soul? She searched for her rock and found it, held on for stability as the storm battered at her.
She tried to keep weakness from her voice. "The veil? I..." She trailed before going on. "Yes. Or maybe. I don't know what it was. But it was...beyond..." Again, she paused and then realized she didn't know how to describe it. Strangely, though, as she spoke, she did feel more solid. "Beyond. Just ...beyond."
She peered up at him, searching. She felt like his face seemed to change in its meaning or intent, in a moment kind and nakedly open, in another, dark and naked lying cruel. "Does everyone see the same thing?" Not what she wanted to know."What do you see?
