Her hundredth birthday had come and gone, and still she had not proven herself by besting a demon, had not earned her place as a Wicked Witch. Tonight that would change. Tonight she would face her fear, overcome it, and earn the title of Dark Lady. Or die.

Nice portrait, the pp in this one is outstanding.
The look, the stare, the glare and the thoughts within....run Jack, RUN!
I honestly don't think, as sly and evil a man he maybe, he has a snowballs
chance up against HER!

Keep 'em coming Randy, gotten very interesting and on the edge on my
seat waiting to see what happens next! Good luck Jack!

Did The dark Lady manage to fulfil her quest and earn her place as a wicked witch? Did she manage to be like her sister the wicked witch Madame P? We will have to wait with bated breath for the next posting....

Great work on this picture Randy, I really do like it..


Thank you, Val. What's happening on the streets of Whitechapel? The world wonders, and so do I! I won't know until I put up the next image and see how the story develops--or ends... Will Jack rip her up, or will she turn out to be an even bigger monster than he is?

We'll find out.

Thanks for your kind comments and visit, always very much appreciated!

Nice start to this story Randy can't wait to see where it leads the Dark Lady. Can Madame P. help or is she on her own? Also love this image well done my friend.


Thanks, Jack. This is actually the second chapter of the story, and we're about to find out how bad things can get. It appears she's going to have to handle him alone, as the test for Wicked Witch certification and licensure requires (it's in the rules). But that doesn't mean it's going to be easy, or even possible.

We'll have to wait and see who emerges from the fog when it's over.

Thanks for your kind comments and visit, always appreciated, and pleased you enjoyed the image!

Only one thing wrong with your story - we've seen her 100+ years later as the Dark Witch, so we know she survived. But you might save the situation if you describe in glowing details how she trapped the miscreant and then finished him off. Did she flambe him? Evisorate? Chop him up in little pieces and make a stew of him? If so, what other ingredients went into the stew, what seasonings did she use? Was there an exotic one from Peru? Or did she put him in the deep freeze of the Artic to be served later to her sister and friends?

Thanks, MT. Glad you're enjoying this one. Too much tension for me. I'm going to have to visit Pierre in the middle of that lake and take a few deep breaths. And a glass of wine. Or two. There will be no sleep until this one's resolved...

Thanks for the kind words and visit, always grateful for them!

Thanks, Jeff. The tension here is terrible! Which of them will emerge from the fog when this is over? Or will it even BE over? Can a demon be killed? I think our young lady is in over her head on this one. But we'll find out.

Thanks for your kind words on the portrait, and thanks for visiting once more. It's always appreciated!

Thanks, DragonsLady. True enough, we know she's still with us in good old 2016. But we don't know if she survived the encounter with Jack. Could she have been killed, and resurrected by an enchantment from her sister? Or did she pass her test, emerge from this battle victorious, and earn her Dark Lady title? Did she kill Jack? Or just immobilize him? Did she have help (the rules say she has to vanquish a demon alone and unaided), but did the rules get bent a little? It was foggy, after all, and hard to see clearly what went on.

I think we have a lot yet to find out about events and our Dark Lady. And prequels are always fun, lol.

Thanks for the helpful comments and visit, they're always much appreciated!

C'mon, c'mon, finish the story. Does she eat him?? Or does she have other devious ways of devouring this male preditor. Oh! and I love the model. Not sure that I like what you do to her but in the story context it's great.

Lol, thanks, infocus. And patience, Grasshopper. We'll find out soon enough what happens to whom and how. I'd love to tell you I already know, but I don't, and won't until the next photo gets posted, as I don't plot out these stories in advance.

As for the portrait itself, she IS a very pretty lady, and it was done up properly for her in the normal manner. But when the moon rises, I get to play with them and make of them something worthy for my stories, lol. She does get to see them, and enjoys the 'altered state' shots I think more than the originals!

Thanks for your kind comments and visit, I always appreciate them very much!

I just had a very frightening thought (yes, I do have a thought every now and then). beware of either Madame P or the Dark Lady, approaching you and after touching your face say the word "THINNER". --Check out the Steven King novel of that name- Witches will do such things. You will never eat a Strawberry pie quite the same way ever again. Your portraits are allways excellent. The Saga continues.
