Eos (Éōs meaning “dawn”) was a Titaness and the goddess of the dawn, who rose each morning from her home at the edge of the Oceanus in Greek Mythology. She had a brother and a sister, Helios, god of the sun, and Selene, goddess of the moon and was almost always described with rosy fingers as she opened the gates of heaven for the Sun to rise. In Homer, her saffron-coloured robe was embroidered or woven with flowers rosy-fingered and with golden arms, crowned with a tiara or diadem and with the large white-feathered wings of a bird.

“Mm.” She agreed, practically purring. Aurora glanced over the previously injured arm, the very last of the wound stitching itself up until the only hint that remained was the blood left behind.

She smiled, a pearly white smile with gleaming, slender fangs. It was not a kind smile. “Fascinating, isn’t it? Care for another go?”

“I am saying,” Aurora dabbed at her lips, her features scrunched in displeasure, “That it isn’t right. You’re certainly not human, though I didn’t need to have a nibble to discover that.”

She glanced over the woman, frowning deeply. “That’s disappointing.”

“I had considered the possibility, but I’m disappointed to realize the truth.” Aurora admitted, frowning deeply at the bottle as she resealed it. Then, she lifted a shoulder. “You can’t blame a girl for trying, can you?”

“Holy water or no, I would suggest that you think twice before attempting to come closer. I am not without other means.”

“Is that the case with all vampires, or are you just particular in that way?” Aurora asked, unable to stem her curiosity. After all, it wasn’t every day that one encountered a vampiric being in reality...or at least, it didn’t used to be.

“Tell me, what about transforming into other creatures?” She asked, crossing her legs as she settled back into her chair. “Dracula was said to be able to take many forms. Is that your case as well?”

As quickly as he dared was enough to make the young woman gasp–she hadn’t expected to be moved so quickly, and her grasp on him tightened slightly.
Once they were secure in the lift, she glanced about the gilded cage, confused by its workings. Of course she knew what a lift was, what it typically looked like, but this was perhaps a modern version? Perhaps…

“A soldier? What sort of museum-library is this that it would have German soldiers?” She frowned. “Have things changed so much since I’ve been…well, asleep? Do libraries require soldiers now? Am I in Germany?”
“…you don’t know me. You don’t know my name, so you wouldn’t know how long I’ve been in that…that…encasement, either, hm? Is there anyone who might?”

  “A very organized sort. It’s complicated.”

Image

    “May I ask.. how long you’ve been asleep? Do you remember the year?”

Horst wasn’t sure how many rules he had broken in waking  the mysterious woman, but he knew it was a lot. He also felt  quite strongly that he had done the right thing. Even if it had  been technically wrong.

  “Germany? What? Oh! My accent, you mean? No, no,     we’re in England. Quite an ear you’ve got, picking that     up. You’re the first person to notice in a long while.”

Horst adjusted his hold on Aurora as he felt the liftcar slow;  his gaze directed to the cage doors as they slid into alignment.  Although he offered her a small smile, inwardly he prayed that  the hallway would be empty when the doors opened.

     “Don’t you worry your pretty head about anything, alright?         I’ll take care of you, I promise. Just.. if we see someone,         let me do the talking..”

“You also called me Prinzessin.” She pointed out, offering a small smile. “I’m...not certain why I know that, but I know that it’s German. I also know that I’m not, but I can’t tell you why I know that, either. I don’t think I’m entirely English...that doesn’t sound right to me.” The young woman gave a small, defeated sigh. It was still nice to know that she recognized something.

Her grasp tightened slightly as the doors began to open, glancing between Horst and the hall that opened up to them. He had tensed, as if expecting...well, expecting just about anything, really. That wasn’t particularly reassuring, and the young woman clung to him in her anxiety.

Image

“Alright.” She managed after a moment, and then, far more quietly, “Are you in some trouble? Have I gotten you into trouble somehow? I’m terribly sorry...”

“I don’t…” She glanced down to her feet, bare and already feeling a bit chilled. “No, I suppose I don’t mind.” 
Still, she hesitated, just a moment or two longer before reaching to wrap her arms around Horst’s broad shoulders as he lifted her up with startling ease. Alarm bells continued to ring in her mind, but it was becoming less and less due to Horst’s presence and more to the fact that she simply didn’t remember anything at all. He seemed to truly want to help, but what about anyone else they might encounter?
“You are very strong, Mr. Cabal.” She replied after a moment, clinging close to him. “Will you be entirely honest with me, if I ask if I can trust you..?”

   “I’ve got you, Prinzessin, it’s alright, you’re safe.”

Image

Horst tucked the previously-slumbering beauty against  his chest, his arms cradling her back and legs. He moved  with human slowness as he carried her out into the hall-      —glancing quickly in both directions–        –before stepping as quickly as he dared towards the lift.

   “Can you trust me? Corr, I’d be offended if you weren’t a distressed     damsel. Yes, you can trust me. See the uniform? I’m sort of.. ah,     like a soldier. It’s my job to keep ladies like you safe.”

“The infirmary?” She glanced about again, wrapping the jacket around herself–it wasn’t difficult, she was swimming in the fabric. “Is this…a ship? A boarding school?” What sort of building had an infirmary on hand?
Carefully, she began to move herself to her feet. She was forced to take it slowly for fear of her knees buckling, her fingers curling into Horst’s sleeve as she stood. He certainly was a large man, wasn’t he? And he didn’t know her, either. Very curious. 
“You said you…you kissed me awake? Who are you?”
Image

   “Not a ship, no. More like.. a big library combined with a museum.”

Horst provided a steadying hand as the lady rose from her  coffin, keeping his voice soft. He didn’t want to scare her  any more than she already was.

    “Ah, yes. Yes I did.” Horst smiled bashfully, glancing down  at her bare feet- his brow creasing with worry.

   “Horst Cabal, at your service, Miss. Do you mind terribly if I pick you      up? It’s only that we’ve got a bit of a walk upstairs, and you don’t      have any slippers…”

She didn’t actually expect to have any sort of answer, but it wasn’t just the large man that now held her hand that startled her. Safe wasn’t really a location, and this man wasn’t known to her–
Pulling her hand from his, she shifted to the side of the coffin away from him, her limbs shaking from disuse. Sleeping or cursed or something. Didn’t he realize how ridiculous that sounded? And yet…and yet she was in a coffin…
After a moment, she seemed to realize she was being spoken to, and finally met Horst’s eyes. And her mind went blank. 
…I…can’t remember...” She whispered.
Image

   “You can’t remember your name? Oh, that’s.. awful.”

Although Horst could understand how disorienting it might feel  to wake up after being inert for a long period of time, he couldn’t  imagine losing his memories. He frowned.

    “I won’t hurt you, no need to be frightened. Here, you must be cold.”

Horst took off his jacket and draped it around her shoulders.

    “Do you think you can stand? Might be best      to take you upstairs, to the infirmary…”

She had only just closed her eyes, or that’s how it had felt. The lights were blinding to eyes that hadn’t seen light in decades, and her hand shook as it lifted to shield them as they adjusted. This wasn’t right…this wasn’t home.
Well, at least she didn’t think it was. She didn’t remember, actually.
For a moment or two longer, the Sleeping Beauty lay still, attempting to take in her surroundings and settle a frightened and racing heart. Finally, she clutched the silken gown she wore to her to preserve her modesty and slowly sat up, hardly noticing anything else or anyone else that might be around her.
“Where am I..?” She asked quietly, more to herself than to anyone listening.
Image

  “Hullo! Oh, it worked! This is just.. aces!     I kissed you… and you woke up! Like a     princess in a fairy tale! Hullo, hi there!” 

Kneeling beside the open glass coffin, Horst greeted the woman in soft, excited tones. He reached out to touch her hand; supporting her shoulder as she rose.

She was even prettier now that she was awake!

   “Ah, well, that’s complicated. But I can promise you that      you’re safe. I think you’ve been sleeping, or cursed or      something, but if I know anything about curses its to ask      my brother about it. I’m Horst, by the way. What’s your      name? Oh, I bet it’s something lovely…”
