Prompt 094.  
Ten things that have made you cry.

1. The moment that Sir Malcolm shut the gate in my face, forever barring me from seeing his family again after my transgression.
2. When my friend Mina disappeared after the odd visitation to me on the beach, our sisterly relationship destroyed.
3. As I pray to the Almighty and my words are unanswered.
4. Mr. Grey’s strange look at me as I broke off our affair in order to protect myself from the serpent.
5. As I begged Mr. Chandler to kill me and end my suffering, knowing he would have the strength to put a bullet inside of me so the demon would never be set free.
6. When the woman and mentor I loved dearly, Joan, was murdered before my eyes on the tree, flesh burning for a crime she did not commit.
7. The nightcomers visit to my bedchamber though we prepared the house for any attack upon my person.
8. Alone, after the surgery that was supposed to rid me of the darkness. My head shaved, and the serpent sitting before me in the form of Sir Malcolm with a smile upon his face.
9. When Mina was transformed into a vampire, a creature I had sworn to kill and yet could not as Sir Malcolm shot her instead.
10. After I brought out the book Joan had asked me never to open and used it to kill a man, a vile thing who deserved death, and Mr. Chandler told me I had lost my soul.
