Fic for rchalloweekend, an event hosted by @rc-appreciationweeks

Long before she becomes a thief, lost on the road when fleeing from her aunt, Irene meets the undead.

Warnings: Mentions of horror and gore, spooky, implied strangulation

It was a cold, dark night. Little Irene clutched her tattered coat closer to her emaciated body, shivering. From time to time, she lifted her head to gaze up at the sky, heavy with angry black clouds. The year’s first snow was yet to fall, but it often drizzled. Irene had no wish to feel the chill of the drops seeping through her thin clothes and slithering across her spine, so she picked up her pace and shuffled on faster.

The little legs of an impoverished girl were not, however, meant to outrun the vagaries of nature, and when freezing et drops began falling, all Irene could think of was how stupid she was for running away from the shelter of her aunt’s home.

‘There I would have a roof over my head,’ she thought miserably, ‘and perhaps hot soup to warm up.’

But there was none to be found here. A light mist rose from the ground, and Irene stumbled around a corner and into the gap between two houses. It was quieter there, and damper, though she found there was a dry little nook at the very end she could fit herself into.

Irene stuffed herself into it, folding her legs under her and tucking her little hands into her armpits for warmth. A soft, stinging breeze whistled through the gap, chilling her to the bones. A dog’s long, plaintive howl filled the air.

The mist thickened. Something fell on her head – soft, like a moth landing – and Irene jumped. She touched her hair, but it was wet from soaked in snow and she could not feel anything, so she settled back again.

The dog howled again – high and mournful. Far away, a girl screamed. The mist thickened. Irene shivered. Then, something fell on her head again.

Irene lifted her hand up and patted her head. Nothing.

“Hello?” Irene called out.

Something wet and sloppy fell on her hand. A chill ran down her spine. Slowly, she looked up. Above her two glowing eyes blinked. As her eyes got used to the dark, Irene noticed the stringy hair and the gaping mouth. Yellow, rotting teeth gleamed. A drop of saliva dripped on her face.

Irene screamed. She jumped up and crawled out as fast as she could, scraping her hands on the ground. The dog howled, much closer. Faraway, a horse neighed. The creature dragged itself out of the alley.

“Reeeeee!” it cackled. Irene screamed again. Horror paralyzed her legs. Her heart pounded like drums and her brain begged her body to move, but all she could do was stand there, frozen. The monster before her stepped out into the light.

She – if it could be called such – was big and bloated, with a hollow for her nose and long, wet, stringy hair. Rags clung to her body, and above her left breast, right where her heart must have once been, was a gaping hole that wept blood. Her gleaming eyes were the same colour as her rotting teeth.

“Kekekeke!” she shrieked in delight, baring her jaws and holding out her hand to the little girl.

Irene screamed again. Her legs nearly gave out under her, but she righted herself, turned around and ran. Tears filled her eyes, blurring the sight of cobbled paths already treacherous with melting snow. Footsteps followed her, quickening to a run. Somewhere ahead, she heard hoofbeats.

“Help!” she screamed, praying it was a passing carriage. “Please, help me!”

Hands tangled in her hair, then pulled. Irene fell on her knees, choking on sobs. The sweet, sickening smell of rot filled her nostrils. A drooling, savage face peered into her. Claws wrapped around her neck and squeezed. Irene’s vision blackened. Just before she lost consciousness, she heard a horse neigh.

" A fresh look at Herbie Hancock classics and delicious new original themes all presented with taste and virtuosity. No safety net here, everyone is living on the edge."

- Bruce Cassidy (Blood, Sweat & Tears Musical Director '04-'09, renowned EVI player)

This August, the NICK MACLEAN QUARTET feat. BROWNMAN ALI celebrates the upcoming release of their hotly anticipated sophomore album CONVERGENCE, due out in October. Led by fast-rising piano star NICK MACLEAN -- an 8x Global Music Award winner and one of the most in-demand young jazz piano players in Toronto -- this contemplative yet thrilling quartet delivers jazz between the two poles of thoughtful introspection and powerhouse conveyance, taking influences from Herbie Hancock's primordial 1960's Blue Note era recordings. Maclean's quartet heavily features one of Canada's most provocative improvising trumpet players -- BROWNMAN ALI -- an internationally acclaimed, multi-award winning jazz iconoclast who has been heralded as "Canada's preeminent jazz trumpet player" by New York City's Village Voice and is best known globally as the last trumpet player to play in the legendary jazz-hip-hop group GURU's JAZZMATAZZ. For this show, Ali & Maclean stand shoulder-to-shoulder with 2 of Canada's top-tier 20-somethings: BEN DUFF on upright bass, and JACKSON HAYNES on drums (in for Jacob Wutzke).

Advance copies of CONVERGENCE will be available for purchase at the show (physical and digital), ahead of the album's upcoming October 27 release date.

:: Nick Maclean - piano :: Brownman Ali - trumpet :: Ben Duff - bass :: Jackson Haynes - drums (in for Jacob Wutzke)

Come witness these four in full flight, this tour features many nights of deeply exploratory, hard-swinging modern-jazz audiences nation-wide will not want to miss.

i literally cannot wait for whatever nuclear fallout is gonna follow joontheking's video on l//il//y o//rcha//rd. i dont know if im gonna watch the video because ngl 90% of content connected to her is infuriating and triggering for me (NOT because of ppl who criticize her. hearing her talk just deals me psyhic damage. it's like radiation exposure) but i hope it hurts her in some way psychologically to have people talking about all the shit she did.

i bet she's going to claim that him talking about her being a groomer and sexually assaulting her sister is "transmisogyny" and "people being mad about her steven universe video again". like she did with everyone else talking about the shit she did. it's always the same single thing with her...
