Emily followed the dark haired maiden through the mist, disappearing in the blink of an eye. If anyone had been watching, she might have been saved. But it was far too late.

Entranced, she followed the woman in the white gown. No other thoughts occupied her mind. The only thing she could think was to follow. Although she hadn’t wanted to at first, she had been ensnared, and now there was no hope ...

I may have my pretty looks, dashing eyes, and fair appearance

But when I shed it all, I look quite different.
