Backdated to Halloween Night; Hugh; Closed
There was a ball - or so he'd been told. But Hugh hadn't dressed up. He'd stopped in, staying towards the back and just watching the lovely people in their lovely costumes. One kept drawing his attention though - a man with amazingly red hair who stayed mostly in the shadows. But when Hugh did get a good look at him - well something wasn't quite right.
Hugh wasn't sure why he followed the red headed man out into the gardens. It was bitterly cold and Hugh wrapped his arms around himself tighter as he walked down the pathway he thought he'd seem the figure go. He found himself in the maze, shivering from the cold and completely lost. He was just beginning to worry when he saw movement up ahead.
"Oh I say," Hugh called, hurrying forward, "do you know the way out? I seem to... be..."
The man stood there, shadows lengthening and moving in ways Hugh knew they couldn't. His red hair now seemed more like living flame, moving around his face in a wind that wasn't there.
"I, um, think I can find my own way out," Hugh murmured, backing away but unable to move as the man began walking towards him. No not man - he was to big to be a man - to big, to much, to....
The last thing Hugh remembered before waking up half frozen in the maze and being helped inside by the chief of security was bright eyes in the middle of dancing flames in the darkness - and laughter.
