The Lantern Bride
She floated more than walked, face twisted in eternal heartbreak, gown soaked in spectral blood. Her lantern blazed with unnatural fire.
"You promised me," she cried. "You said we’d be together forever!"
Thomas stood between them. "I never wanted this. I was taken—killed before I could reach you. Your father had me murdered."
Eleanor wailed, a sound that split the trees. Emily stood frozen, caught between love and horror.
"Let him go," she whispered. "Let us both go."
Eleanor turned her dead eyes to Emily. "Then you will take my place."
