Dear Susanna
Yes, it's seems a little strange for me to be writing to you after so long, especially after what I did to you. I wonder if you still know who I am, know what my favourite movie is, even what the colour of my eyes are. But I’ll never forget you, your hazel eyes glinting in the moonlight, your skin like silk when we touched, the scent of your hair when we used to dance to our little songs…
I shall hide it no longer, this foolish pride that was the cause of our parting. I need your help, my love. They are out to get me and my kind, only you can help us. These foolish mortals that dared to taunt our love shall pay for what they did to us! Their advances draw nearer and near with each passing second, please do not waste any time. Elric, our current leader, is making plans for a counter-attack. But I fear that is foolish, my love, for his anger deepened after the slaying of his only daughter. The cowards dragged her screaming out of their family castle, into the hideous light. Her burning flesh made the most terrifying imprint into the ground, one of pure hate of the mortals. The new owner has been trying to get the imprint removed, but after seven years of trying they have given up. Rumour says that her spirit haunts the place, but what difference does it make now that the castle has been deserted?
Beloved, we need your clan's help. Your kind does not look at us very kindly and we respect that. Once this slaughter has passed the clans need not meet ever again. But we need your people’s strength, my love, to show these mortals that the undead should rule over them like the sheep that they are! And let us unite once more, in the unholy unison we once had! My dear Susanna, how I long to be close to you…
If all goes well this letter will have reached you by All Hallows Eve, for the attack will happen two weeks from now. We are currently hiding in the far caves of the mountain ranges, near Elric’s castle.
Take care, my love, for we shall be together soon. Always remember that I love you…
Yours for eternity,
Horatio Walt
Horati's letter was intercepted before it reached its destination. His whole Clan was wiped out...
...and Susanna didn't it know at all
