Lucretia

Just a little story from back when Gaspard was still just a kid named Marion. In case you don't follow the My AB OCs posts, the characters are thus

Ruthven Strongmore - Vampire who can call swans and has enslaved all the Flocks in England. Lives in an old manor out on a vast moor.
Gaspard Glass - Androgynous swanmane who will grow up to lead rebellion against Ruthven; still a child in this story and thus still going by female pronouns and birth name of Marion to everyone else (though has picked out secret name of Gaspard for self) and hence is mostly referred to as she/her in the story because he hadn't started using alternating pronouns yet
Lucretia - Maker of Ruthven. Very old, very mysterious, very nice, very terrifying.

I wanted it to be a creepy little tale, though Lucretia, in typical AB vampire fashion, does not actually *do* anything in it. Unlike AB vampires though, it's actually my *aim* to give Lucretia a lot of buildup and eeriness and mystery and even occasional indications she might just be a harmless Morticia Addams ooky-but-sweet type before something actually *does* come of all the buildup. ideally that something would be awesome and horrifying and really really worth it, but I am not yet at the level I think I can pull that off. Still, I'm trying! In the meantime, enjoy her introduction =D
