Raven and Dove

1600

My love,

Thou art devine with pale skin as cold as death, and as sweet as the darkest honey. Your wit only compares to the sharpness of your fangs.

~ Raven

1782

Raven,

We have gained our independence and so I, after one hundred and eighty two years, ask to be set free of your servitude. What you say is love is but a shadow of the depth of what I have ever felt. I shall take the risk and head towards the West. Do not speak of savages for you are the savage, not the peoples of the wilderness.

~ Dove

1849

Darling Dove,

My sister wrote of you going out West for gold and fortune. What madness is this? You are a woman.

Raven,

I know I am a woman, but not a mere mortal. You are a fool. Do you forget that you are a Vampire? Do not follow me unless you wish to have your heart torn out, as you once tore out mine.

Dearest Dove,

You are correct. I send my deepest apologies.

Raven,

It is my sincerest wish that you end up like Poe, in the gutter with your story unfinished.

1880

Dear Raven,

When I saw you from across the street, your eyes meeting mine, I suddenly felt light. It was not from the lack of blood, for I had just dined, but from guilt, and memories of divine nights with you. Oh how I have missed our long talks, our friendship, and, do I dare admit, our love.

~ Dove

Dear Dove,

Alas, you have come back too soon. I have another love. Try your luck with the artists in town. I hear there is a lot of excitement, and maybe passion at the Bohemian Club. San Francisco is a big city now. There is plenty of activity for lone female Vampires like yourself.

~ Raven

Dear Raven,

My fondest wish is for you to choke on your own blood.

~ Dove

1920

Darling Dove,

I still can’t get over how swell you look with bobbed hair. I love running my hands through it. Thanks again for the weekend at the beach. Oh your legs are the best. Your the best all over. The sight of your fangs makes me crazy.

~ Raven

Dear Raven,

I had a lovely time too. It was over the moon. I hope to see you again soon.

~ Dove

1969

Dear Dove,

The advantage of hanging out with the hippies is that the drugs have no effect on us.

~ Raven

Raven,

They don’t wash. Their necks are filthy and taste horrible. I’m going to Colma to visit some old friends. Too bad they moved all of the cemeteries out of the city. Thank our stars that we choose to live in houses rather than crypts.

~ Dove

1986

Dear Raven,

Oh wow, you’re hair looked great tonight. I like the longer look on you. Thank God you’re not one of those men who wear open shirts and gold chains. On the other hand, all of those open shirts just make things easier, if you know what I mean.

~ Love you babe, Dove

Dearest Dove,

Yes, all of the stretchy new fabrics make life a lot easier for us Vampires.

On a serious note, last night as we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, I suddenly knew that no matter what, even for the next thousand years, that I would always love you. Always.

~ Raven

2019

Dear Raven,

When I saw you yesterday, your heart ripped out of your chest, your throat cut, and your eyes burned out, at that moment, my own heart died.

I am lost. So lost. Oh Raven. My dear, darling, Raven. If I had a soul you would have been my soul mate. I will always love you.

~ Dove

Dear Dove,

The strangest thing happened last night. The Vampire Hunters tried to kill me, but fortunately, about an hour after they left, my friend Bob, you know the Werewolf, came by. Good luck comes with the full moon. Anyway, you know Bob is a heart surgeon. He put my heart back in, jump started me with some of his own blood, and I’ll be as good as new in a few weeks. Even my eye sight is coming back. Unfortunately I have the sudden urge to chase balls (JK).

Come over ASAP. Help me heal. I love you forever.

~ Raven

Dear Raven,

Forever.

~ Dove
