Drabble Challenge: Nursery Rhymes
Drabbles! *bounces*
From the last line of the lovely
wakeupinacoma 's drabble...
Title: Nursery Rhymes
Word Count: 100
Character(s): Giles
Giles started counting.
One for sorrow. Two for mirth.

Three for a funeral. Four for a birth.
Vampires all, freshly dead, their bodies still bearing the sickly-sweet stench of decay, their eyes not yet accustomed to the night.
Five for heaven.
His breath quickened, his heart pounding against the confines of his chest, as they drew ever nearer.
Six for hell.
Closer. Closer.
Seven for the devil…
In the darkness, there was the sound of screaming and the scent of dust upon the midnight breeze.
