number 6 

In the darkest place she never imagined
He waits in gentle quiet.
      So innocent, she is not.
      So pure, she is not.
      So alive...
           That she is.
First meeting full of charm
Easy to persuade there.
The charm drops off
(both are simple to dispose of)
She goes under next to her
And he goes out again to prey.
