Wednesday Writing Prompt - Folklore & Dark Fairy Tales

[earthspirits]

Folklore and the original fairy tale sources could be very dark, many with true horror elements.
There's nothing sweet or innocent about these old stories.

Every Wednesday, we'll post a folklore or fairy tale quote to jumpstart your vampiric muse.

Please post your Dracula / Nosferatu inspired fic as a stand-alone in the community, and use the header below (or similar). And please put your story behind a cut.
