She stood on a hill, sunlight pouring over skin the color of dark honey, but a light shone from within her as well. Her eyes fascinated him. They were the color of still water reflecting a raging storm. She turned, as if she'd seen him. Her lips lifted in a welcoming smile and she raised a hand to wave. Then the blood flowed.

Thank you everybody for the lovely comments!

I love these little snippets. They can show so much while still saying so little, which I find fascinating!

Ooo, nice and creepy, love it! One thing that confuses me tho is how he can see her eyes as she doesn't turn to him until after you've described them? I'm assuming he must know her from before this snippet. If so, please ignore me! :)

Thank you everybody for the lovely comments! I'm glad the snippet's intriguing!

@Monica - Very perceptive! It is indeed a vision. Well, the first bits of one!

@Pippa - It's more that she turns her head to look at him than she turns toward him.

@Sarah - I hope so! I try to pick memorable moments for these snippets! :-D
