Her skin is milky white, perfect and smooth

Hands so soft they are of silk.

Heavenly light and passionately downy she speaks and all listen

Her words flow off a sharpened tong

 

Acutely aware and always planning

This woman of perfection always wears black

Darkest are her cloths of choice

Darkest is her wardrobe

 

Light glints off her blue eyes

The most icy eyes 

Eyes always seeing

Seeing and knowing

 

Follow her plans

No escape from what she commands

Behind her smile lie teeth so sharp

Her body is barbed in ill content

 

Blackly, sickly, oozenly, she mingles around

All fall into her web

Her complicated, sticky, inescapable, web

She is the master

 

Only we lowly few pawns know her for what she is

We see her tricks

Her whiles

Her ploys

 

She took us in when none else would

We are grateful

We are helpful

We keep her secrets

 

She is kind to us

We love her

We do only as she wants

We do so much

 

All who enter the house of Black

Take on a roll

One she assigns

They all are bound to it

 

All except until now

One man is still the keeper of his strings

So angry this has made our lady of the house

So very angry

 

The end all party is hosted tonight

A masquerade party it will be

The guests wear the faces she so desires

All wear masks except him

 

So close are we to goals end

Full control is nearly in sight

All we must do is take care of him

So very careful we must be

 

Masks can be easily removed

If the puppet knows they are wearing one

We cannot allow this man to remove others masks

A most deadly result would forcome

 

If our lady is to fail

We all fail

The streets are so cold

Never again will we be that cold

 

Murder is but a small price

His intentions are for us to die

It is in self defense

The lady explains

 

We have been given our roles for tonight

We are all to happy to oblige

With daggers hidden and smiles shown

We go about our duties

 

Serving and cleaning we look for the moment

To strike most cleanly

To strike most deeply

To strike unknown

 

Her plans go so successfully

Every time

He is a man most clever

A man most clever

 

He sees their masks

He sees her whiles

He sees our daggers

He sees as she sees

 

Their eyes meet with intensity

So much is exchanged through the air

Calm remains the room

Quietly their minds battle as they mingle

 

We are but pawns

Pawns so weak

We cannot defeat one such as he

Only she has the power

 

Elegant and masterful the two duel

A room full of guests, a party must delightful

The guests smile and laugh, the two smile and laugh

They smile and laugh and weave plans for victory

 

A tremendous mental game

Never before has she worked so hard

Her plans are everything

She never loses

 

Flushed becomes her ever white skin

He is very skillful

She doesn’t see a way to win

If she can’t win, then there will no longer be a game

 

We can see where this night has led to

We were prepared for this outcome

It is time for the final toast

It is time for her final plan

 

We loyally distribute drink to all

Even he takes one in hand

Dark red is the wine tonight

Darkest red

 

She knew the price of failure

All must be under her control

Her master would not accept even one being free

This was the terms of their agreement

 

She made a deal with a most powerful man

A deal for power

A deal for beauty

A deal for control

 

The deal had a condition that she must meet

She had to completely command everyone

Or else the man of power would come and take away everything

He was a man who owned everything

 

She raised the cup of life

As did the others

She drank down the liquid of death

As did the others

 

All except the man

He stood in the room of death

He followed his master’s commands

His master always won

 

Daggers drawn

We knew we would lose

Pawns marched on the man

The knight of a King who killed our queen

 

We loyal few

Loyal onto death

Were ready for the last step

We stepped closer to the man

 

He tried to use tricks

Whiles

Ploys

Nothing we haven’t seen before

 

He was pitiful

We stabbed

We cut

We gained vengeance

 

Moments later the man of power showed up

Expecting his knight to be victorious

Expecting everything to be as he planned

Expecting to claim the souls of the dead

 

We pawns then marched on him

His face was of such surprise

He didn’t plan for her to have power after death

Even with her icy command she made friends

 

He never thought it possible

Countless times he had been victorious

Never before had one continued their influence after death

The pawns were under no influence

 

They closed in

His cleaver words were not heard

Darkness consumed everything in that room

Onto death, Miss Black, we serve only you

Very unusual subject matter, but I found it intruiging like a short story. This reminded me of a scene from one of Robert Jordans Wheel of Time novels, though I cant think which one.
