Note: The idea of this story popped up in my mind during reading Neil Gaiman’s Fragile Things and I quickly had to write down some notes – well, after I looked up, it turned out that I already wrote the rough draft of the first six chapters and who knows how many more will come? :) This is my first try in this genre so please don’t be too hard on me… :P
Dedication: I dedicate the story for “The Clan” who gave me a brilliant story written by my beloved Bridgycat (Halo -> //mesmer-sophie.gportal.hu/gindex.php?pg=33600041 ) and because of this and because I love all of them very much, I decided to make this little surprise for them! I hope they and my dear readers will like it as much as I did writing it! :)

Lead Me into Your Darkness
Prologue
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
(Edgar A. Poe: Alone)
The candle-lights were dancing in the half-lit room, shaping strange and eerie shadows on the brownish-red walls. The light night breeze that came from the Thames brought the smell of storm and fragrant flowers, moving the soft white curtains as if it was smoke. The light glistened on the Victorian furniture, giving a golden glow to the room where two men were kneeling on the red carpet before a beautifully carved enormous bed, their head bent, waiting patiently.
“Look up…” the echoing whisper came and they did so. “I’ve got distressing news…” the calm, but somehow concerned voice from the darkness went on.
“Unfortunately, we couldn’t stop it…” the shorter man said on a quiet and slightly shaking tone.
“Though you should have been more careful…”
“Yes… It was my fault! I beg for your forgiveness!” the other man nearly laid down on the floor in his submission, waiting for his punishment – but it did not come.
“Rise up! I know you…” the whispering continued and the men could hear a sad sigh that seemed to caress the taller man’s face for a moment, making him shiver. “Our secret is threatened. You cannot let anyone get near to discover it through the case!”
“Yes, as you wish… We will protect the Queen” the two men said in union and crawled closer when a pale hand formed and reached out from the darkness that surrounded the bed and the cool fingers stroked along the sweaty faces.
