Long ago, there was once a young woman by the name of __y/n__. Her cheeks were always with a faint blush, and her full lips, a vibrant crimson. Her hair flowed in the wind and framed her face perfectly with her eyes that could outshine any star and put it to shame, making her appear to be an angel sent down from God himself. She was kind and loved all the people of her town and they all loved her back. One night, a storm began to sweep into the valley where she lived. She went out, despite the pleas of her friend, __BFF/n__, wanting her to stay with her until the morning or until the storm died down. She begged __y/n__ to not go out alone, because a woman shouldn’t be out alone late at night. Though her friend didn’t tell her of her last reason of why she shouldn’t go out, she didn’t say for fear of __y/n__ not taking her seriously.

Her town had a story that surrounded the abandoned well near the outskirts of the small village, handsome young men would come to the well late at night and searched for a beautiful young maiden to cross their path so they could take her away with them. __y/n__ was determined to make it home safe as she had promised her dear mother. The wind began to pick up in force and her skirts began to flutter like a frightened bird. She pushed down her clothing and kept her hands on it to keep it from flying up once more. Though shivers ran up and down her spine, she kept her arms at her sides to prevent her bottom to come up with the violent winds. They brushed against her bare skin and caressed it. Soon she came to the abandoned well that her town had grown frightened of, without realizing what would happen to her. The winds began to die down quickly as she rested against the old well. The cries of an owl could be heard off in the distance and she rubbed her arms to create a small warmth. She heard a deep and melodious laugh come from behind her. Out of fear, she froze and didn’t dare turn to face what was behind her.

“Miss, you appear cold and quite alone,” The voice was smooth and calm,  “Please come with me?” The voice asked in an innocent tone
“I can’t go with you,” She replied swiftly to the masculine voice behind her.
“Oh?” The voice sounded surprised with hints of disappointment, “Why is that?”

Long fingers slowly and methodically traced images on the curves of her neck and shoulders. She shuddered lightly at his touch and attempted to push them away feebly.
“I need to get back home to my family good sir.” His fingers moved down lower and lower, running down her smaller figure. She turned to slap him, when she became entranced with his eyes. They were a passionate and fiery red, and his creamy ivory skin glowed in the moonlight. His messy, raven black hair had an effect on his eyes and made them an even brighter blood red. Her heart thumped unevenly in her chest and her mind began to blank out. She began summon any thoughts and became mute from his presence. His thin lips turned up into a gentle and devious grin.

“Come away with me. Come away out of the light. Come and ride with me.”
“I-i can’t,” She quietly began to protest, yet she was losing more and more self control for she was unable to tear her gaze from his hypnotic eyes. She was losing herself in them, those eyes, those demon red eyes. His beautiful features crept into her mind, slowly taking it over. The more she drank in his features, the more her mind had become consumed by his inhumane beauty. He stepped closer and wrapped his arms around her, bringer their faces closer. With their noses barely touching, he opened his lips,

“Come away with me. Come away out of the light. Come and ride with me into the night.”
Her head bobbed involuntarily in agreement.

“Say it my love.” His nose brushed hers, encouraging her to speak the words he desperately wanted to hear.
“Yes,” She said breathlessly, “Yes, I will go with you.”

And with that, his lips captured hers in a deep and passionate kiss. He swept her up in his arms and cradled her to his chest and jumped onto his coal black steed. Her arms snaked around his neck and buried her face into the crook of his neck. Taking in his heavenly scent, she adjusted herself  to be comfortable in his lap. The wind began to howl, and blow harder than before. Water droplets fell from the sky and a violent tremor ran down her spine. His nimble fingers ran along her cold and soft figure. They rode through the moonlight and into the dark and windy night.

Never again did the townsfolk see her. They never could hear her light laughter, the twinkle that was always present in her bright young eyes. The townspeople had said that the wind was so strong, that it had blown her away. They would say that, though they would always know in the deepest parts of their hearts that she had gone near the forbidden well and was taken away by a handsome young man. The legend says when the summer nights come to an end, the harvest moon will glow bright in the night sky. And at the well, there will be a dark horse waiting with pairs of eyes glowing bright against the darkness. Deep and melodious voices will call out, and are carried out in the breeze, calling out to young women who are foolish enough to hear their beckoning and answer their pleas.
Okay, this was born while listening to a song by one of my favorite bands Celtic Thunder. And since I liked this so much, I'm going to continue this and make a One-shot series with anime characters and legends, folklore, mythology, that sort of thing...I hope you like it my lovelies, this is my first time officially writing for Sebastian! Oh, and please let me know if you find any mistakes.
I only own the plot!
