Bella Donna

Bella Donna is a short story set in the Silverse. It is a prequel story featuring a new character, who will appear in the upcoming Quicksilver series.

Synopsis (Spoilers)
The story follows an unnamed character, a Silver woman, and alternates between her reminiscing about the events that led to her being turned Silver, and a third person account of her kidnapping and threatening a human man.

In her first person narration, she tells how she was befriended by a man who seemed "shiny", more exciting than most people. She fell in love with him, and he made her Silver, but then abandoned her in a house full of other newly made Silver who had been similarly treated.

In the third person story, she has kidnapped a real estate agent who had tried to seduce her, and tied him up in his house (after killing his gardener). She rationalises that since he is such a terrible person, he will be no loss to the world, and so will be perfect for her 'little experiment'. The story ends before the reader sees what she is planning, but it is strongly implied that she wants to turn him Silver.
