A Love Impure
In a mansion once lived a wealthy widower merchant's daughter. She was pale as a corpse and perhaps just as silent. She had not a sibling nor friend she could ever confide in, which lead to quite the lonely existance. Solitude was a path she walked not by choice, and because of this, her heart held a heavy void that she could not quite fill...
In a crypt once lived a creepy, impoverished grave-keeper. He was a frail and timid being, quite reminiscent of a walking skelliton to most he met. He had no idea how to converse with other beings, no idea how to act or express himself towards others, and thus gave all the impression that he was nothing but a freak. All he wanted, all he desired in this life was a chance to meet someone just as kind and gentle as the corpses had been for him...
One day, the merchant's daughter snuck away from her home and headed towards the cemetary in which the creepy grave-keeper lurked, perhaps intending on finding and visiting her mother's grave. It was on a full moon night, during an hour which any normal being would have long since been asleep. Not watching where she was going, the maiden tripped and fell into a deep, currently unused grave. Or perhaps she would have, had the grave-keeper not seen her and yanked her away before she could fall in.
Neither had any clue how to speak to another being, living such lonely existances as they did. The moment after the maiden's timely rescue was quiet and awkward at best. For many moments they stared at one another with rosied cheeks, unsure as to what exactly to say. After many moments passed, the merchant's daughter kissed her rescuer on the cheek before bolting off towards home.
Since that night, the two would meet at the grave in which they first layed eyes upon one another. Not often were any words spoken between the two, but that did not matter to either of them. Their relationship started off as nothing more than a quiet and perhaps awkward crush. From there, however, things took a turn for the worst and slowly developed into a secret obsession for each other.
As the story begins, the awkward grave-keeper and merchant's daughter don't know how to voice their feelings. So instead, they resort to most unusual actions or downright stalking to show their affections... A somewhat creepy love between two normally shy individuals.
