"Aftermath" by Natalie Adams

well, it's been a while - and this one needs a bit of explaining. *ahem*

this is the first (hopefully not the last) illustration done for a story my sister and i have been ruminating over for a while now, but will porbably never get round to writing. It involves a group, a 'nest' as they are termed apparently, of vampires (who mysteriously seem to be re-incarnations of our Elf characters from before!) living in victorian England trying to keep their heads down but happily feeding off the poor inhabitants of London town whenever the sun goes down...anyway, here we see the very start of Tilly's story. she is the sufficiently mangled up girl in the centre of the image, and has just been (along with her family) the victim of a ruthless and very blood-thirsty vampire attack. The mysterious shadow you see is in fact her saviour, so to speak. He is Raoul, having followed his nose to find this horrific sight, and he is about to give Tilly the Choice...

(needless to say i REFUSE to write a lovely long, detailed description for this one. If i start writing their story, i will not stop. so this will have to suffice!)
