Bonding Experience, A

Lilithia stood over the bound and writhing body, shaking her head as the subject attempted to escape. The shore of Clearwater Lake seeped around the victim as the mud sucked in the struggling one.

<BR>"Tonight," Lilithia said with a soft voice and a grin, "we shall join. We will be one in this world--our strengths unified, weaknesses diminished. We shall grow and your power will be through me, and you will be of me." The warlock kneeled and sent a claw to run across ropes and through matted hair. The bound one twisted and screamed through the gag.

The warm flesh there was stroked by fingers that gave way to sharp ends. The undead played with the beads of sweat rolling down the other's neck, idly tracing patterns with the tips of her claws. There was a pause as placid smile locked with panicked eyes.

<BR>
<BR>They were one. <BR>
