This will be the last chapter of the book I will be posting here. I will soon delete all the entries for publication in book form. Many thanks to all of you who have read and commented.
What will become of the beautiful blond lady? What unspeakable horrors will Stefanos and Lisette practice before returning to their coffin before dawn? The saga will continue in "Lisette's Journal" the book soon to be published.
Lisette's Journal Part 20
By La Belle Rouge
I wondered who my first victim would be;
perhaps a man of power and wealth?
Would he open his arms to welcome me
and soon lose his precarious health?
“Stay close behind but not next to me,”
Stefanos slyly whispered in my ear,
“We would not want our prey to see
the nature of our relationship here.
For we must be alluring to mortals
forbidden fruit and seduction’s child
they must long to enter our portals
and crave but a glimpse of our smile.”
And so he walked and I walked behind
hoping the evening’s banquet to find
Into a mansion with a veranda wide.
Laughter floating out on the breeze.
Sweet harpsichord music playing inside
the most discriminating taste to please.
Tinkle of wine glasses soft hum of talk
gave my memory a powerful shock
recalling a friendly after dinner walk
lost humanity seemed undead state to mock.
And then he stopped short to long gaze
on a vision of delicate beauty and grace.
Watching as melodious music she plays
young mortal woman with an angel’s face.
Her long golden hair coiffed into a bun
would be falling down ’ere night was done .

You have it in spades here, Belle. It beats my attempt to do a poem book about Nancy that I posted here. I have not given up on the project, I just need to rethink the last couple of chapters.
You have the grace it takes to make these characters of yours fascinating and almost likable, which is a good way to construct the chapters because you want the reader to feel empathy for Lisette.
In the end they'll all be dancin'--all them ones that didn't die.... Dance with me in the shadows amidst the lightning and the thunder, and all that nu-cu-lar debris. See the big bang from the other side, and then open that cellar door. Go down into
