24 donst play games with my mind (1/2)
The lul of soft waves splashings gently against the sand mixed perfectly with the slight breeze wafting in from the open balcony doors bringing with it the slight fragrance of Oleander and sea salt.The night had never felt so peaceful, so invigorating.Instead, it had always felt like a prison the esentence of a darkened shine after the light of the god had abandoned it only left the smallest fragment of that once glorious light.An endless existence with only night and the many monsters to share the wretched gloom and despair that awaited anyone foolish enough to step into forbidden shadows.This is how it had felt, being cursed for the past century to only darkness barely afforded the luxuries of seeing light's final rays before the Earth was once again engulfed in her mournful veil of darkness.
{How long has it been since the sun's brilliant heat has heated my body?}
Dante stretched out on the recliner, a pleased smile curving the corners of his lips.{What a night! I haven't had this much excitement in... well roughly fifteen years. There is no better high in the world than watching everything others hold dear crumble at their entitled feet.And what's more, her blood will give me the chance to go back to a normal life, to walk in the day once again.I can't even remember the last time I was out in full day.} He crossed one foot over the other as he glanced over at the sofa.Pleasure rippled through his body, pure sadistic joy coursed through his veins pumping vitality through every fiber of his being.{Gods! It has been so long!}It had been so long since he had felt this alive.He glanced once again over to the sleeping body on the couch.
”Oh yes princess, I will enjoy our time together very much.” Dante's wide grin widened farther as it warped into a twisted chuckle. ”I will keep you, my little bringer of light, by my side as long as possible... until every last drop is used up.”Dante pushed forward in his chair and leaned toward his new prized toy, the manic gaze of an addict play across his face.
He was just about to reach out to the girl when his phone vibrated on the table beside him. He leaned over to read the display then quickly answered it. ”Ah, brother it's you again. I didn't figure I'd hear from you this soon... Figured you would still be pissed about earlier.”He leaned back into his recliner bringing the remote and a bag of chips with him.
[I was just calling to make sure you haven't done anything stupid. You haven't, have you?]
Dante grinned as his eyes roamed hungrily over the sleeping form on the couch beside him.”I don't know, brother, your definition of stupid and mine are completely different.” A wicked smile spread across his face as he switched the call over to video chat and positioned the phone to where Shelly's sleeping form would be the first thing Xavier saw when he accepted the video.As if on queue, Shelly moaned just as Xavier accepted the video.
Shelly could hear voices but couldn't make them out.She struggled to open her eyes but for some reason, the strength couldn't be found.
[What the fuck! Why is she there with you? What games are you playing at now?!] Xavier's voice bombed across the speakers of the phone.
{I know these voices, but why can't I place a name... or a face with them?} Shelly continued to struggle to open her eyes with little result.
Dante turned the phone so that he could see his brother's expression, ”Now brother, quiet or you'll wake my guest…” his sadistic smile widened before he added, ”A voice like yours could wake the dead, you know.”
[Damn it, Dante! Please tell me you haven't... Not again!] Xavier's angry voice bombed louder through the speakers, causing a soft moan to sound from the couch.
{Dead! Are they talking about me? Is someone trying to hurt me?} Shelly fought to calm her wild thoughts as the meanings of the words began to sink in.She gave up on forcing her eyes open and tried to move her body instead, but it was still no use. Her entire body was as weak and frail as a newly born fawn.{What a strong and powerful werewolf I have turned out to be... My family will be so disappointed...}She could feel tears trail down her cheek from the corners of her still closed eyes.
Dante smiled down at his brother, ”See? Still alive… For now…”
Xavier glared hatefully at his brother. [There better not be any 'for now's.We can't afford any more of your indiscretions!]
Dante rolled his eyes, ”Not to worry brother, I have other plans for this little minx. Aside from feeding of course…”He licked his lips recalling the sweet taste of her before continuing, ”You know how hard it is to get virgin blood nowadays, after all.”
[What plans?] Xavier said in a lower, suspicious tone.
Dante's eyes lit with excitement, ”I'm glad you asked brother. After all, I'm doing this for you!”
Xavier rolled his eyes. [Please don't involve my name in any satanic plans you cook up.]
