She stands on dock, looking out through the fog, peering with intensity, knowing that today is the day she has been waiting for, fearing and hoping in equal measure. She's dressed as he required: A midnight blue dress wrapped around her short frame, displaying and concealing at the same time. Her hair is flowing free, blowing gently in the early morning breeze. Minimal makeup, an accent, not a coverup, highlighting her eyes and lips. The deep bellow of the ferry causes a sharp intake of the cool air, a faint tightening under her dress as her body responds while her mind flees.
He stands on the bow of the ferry, arms spread wide as he braces against the railing. He's taller than her, but still of average height and girth. Passengers look once and then again, then smile faintly as if relieved that he is, in fact, normal. Nothing could be further from the truth. He looks human, of course. Average height, average features, except the eyes. Black shirt, black jeans, the classic goatee. But in the shadow he casts on the ferry, his frame appears cloaked in a robe and cape of black, his eyes burning red.
As the ferry breaks the fog, he smiles tightly, seeing that his reason for coming here, his siren, his sacrifice, is standing on the dock, waiting for him, arms wrapped around herself to ward off the early morning chill. The ferry bellows again as it nuzzles against the dock, entering the slip effortlessly. The foreshadowing not lost on him, he makes his way quickly to the egress, other passengers falling away before him. With no hesitation, he makes his way across the piers towards the girl in blue.
She sees him coming, his eyes pinning her to the spot where she stands. Some part of her brain screams to run, that this is the final chance, that after this moment she will be his. But it's not enough. Too much of her wants it, craves it, needs it, and she stands, riveted to the spot as sturdily as the piers are sunk into the sea. As he sweeps closer, her mouth opens, attempting to greet him as a friend.
He never even stops. His arms wrap around her, pulling her against him. She resists for half a heartbeat, then wraps her arms around him, embracing on the dock, inhaling his scent as he kisses her on the head. He releases her with one hand, grasping her chin, raising her head. Her eyes flutter closed and their lips meet, exchanging a greeting too deep, too personal, too primal for mere words. Tongues dance against each other, parting lips and speaking words never heard.
