I suck the night wind into my lungs, and it surrounds me like a balm. It seeps under my clothes, caressing my skin and prickling along my nerves. The crickets, the dog howling across town, the bat that swoops overhead....they all call my name. In a house down the street, there is a child huddling under his sheets with a lantern. In an alley two streets over a man taking a shortcut starts at a shadow. A woman throws open her bedroom window and leans out to smell the moonflowers opening in her yard. They all worship me, in their own way, and so does the woman walking with me when she slips off her shoes to trail her feet in the night-damp grass. They still know me, even if they have forgotten my name

She mewls into my mouth, a miserably panicked noise, and her fingers tangle in my clothes, ripping my shirt and clawing at the leather of my coat. Panicked little rabbit, she can't decide whether to fight or flee or just give up and lay down. One minute she's scrabbling against me pushing so hard she might break through the wall, the next she's moaning and clutching me, breathing the night into her lungs, letting it flood her veins. Little magpie. Little gauekoentzat.

"You know I'm going to have you, Anushka," I murmur, curling my tongue around her name the way I'd curled it in her mouth. She's pressed against my chest, my coat surrounding her like the wings of a great bird. She shakes like a dead leaf clinging to an autumn branch. "It can go easy on you or not. You're mine now, and I am perfectly happy to rape you right here on the floor. But I give you the choice." I loosen my grip on her enough so that I can look into her eyes. "Gaua gauekoentzat, the night for night spirits. Fight me or let me in?"
