the dark castle on the hill 9






 
The 3 guys run
Into the moonlit night
They never stop
They know the score

The light breezes on their skins
As they puff and sweat on the run
Stepping on dry twigs and leaves
The pounding feet hitting the road

In the middle of the road
They stop suddenly as a shadow appears
The misty clouds appear and a woman
“Hi fellas why in a hurry?”

“Move away!
Else we will take you
We have no time to be charitable”
“Young men you shouldn't be so rude!”

One guy takes a mirror
On the reflection of the moon
A beam of bright light on her face
“Come on I am not the vampire!”

“My hut is over there
You are welcome to share drinks
Before you begin your journey”
“We are in a hurry maybe next time”

“One of you must stay here
There is no choice else I will shoot”
The 3 guys stare at her
“You must be dreaming?”

She whistles in the still night
Her people walk out in the open
“I think you want to tell us something
So one of you must stay here”

One young guys stays back
As his friends continue their journey
Slowly their forms disappear
“Now tell us your story”
