I don't own them. I wish but NO!
Dark Queen
Chapter One
Queen Mia Liana Duval Koji slowly paces the floor of her luxurious throne room. As she sits upon her throne, her brow wrinkles as she thinks to herself, -How long has it been? Fifty, one hundred, three hundred years or maybe longer.-
Mia's bloodline has ruled the underworld for one thousand years. Her mother was queen before the time of her awakening. Now, Mia is the queen of the Vampires- the walking dead, as the mortals call them. Mia, however, is what is called a day walker. She is capable of handling both the sunlight and the darkness. She and her covenant only feed at night by taking the sick and the dying, but there are others who do not go by the rules Mia's mother had originally established in the time of her ruling.
Mia's main duty as queen is to protect her covenant- a covenant of female vampires. The covenant has very few males, who are mainly just for the females' pleasure or mating. Some have even taken the males as husbands, including Mia's sister, the Princess Hitomi. Hitomi's husband, Prince Van, has been with her for five hundred years yet he still worships her with undying love.
Mia smiles as she thinks of how Prince Van has also sworn his allegiance to her along with his brother, Folken, who is her personal guard. Some of the other males also have sworn their lives to Mia to honor her as well.
A frown comes to Mia's pretty features as she thinks to herself sadly, -Why do I feel so alone? I long to hear another heartbeat close to mine, and I long to make sweet love to a mate who I can spend my life with, and who will eventually sire my children. Why do I feel alone? I, Queen Mia Liana Duval Koji, Queen of all Vampires, feel this way? Maybe it's my time to find a mate- a male who can submit to me and be everything I want.-
As she muses on this, she doesn't notice her sister and her mate coming toward her.
"Sister, what's wrong? You have that look again." Hitomi kneels beside her, putting her head on her knee.
Absently Mia moves her hand through her sister's hair.
"The same thing I was musing on last century," she says while moving her head to see Hitomi's beautiful eyes. "How have you and Van been doing? I thought that you would have an heir by now. I know your sexual appetite, my dear." Mia chuckles as she rolls her eyes.
Hitomi looks toward her mate and he's smiling.
"We are waiting for you, Sister. You should be the first to bring forth an heir. You need to choose a mate. I think Folken would be a wonderful choice for you," Hitomi says as she grabs a hold of Mia's hand affectionately.
"Yes, he is, but we need new blood. Mortals from this time. I shall hunt later, but right now I'm musing in my self pity. So please go bed your mate and don't bother me," Mia says with a wry grin, looking at Van who is still smiling from ear to ear.
"Oh, poo, Sister. Come join us. It could be fun." Hitomi looks into her sister's eyes, eyes the color of the purest ocean.
Mia smiles back, pulling Hitomi to her feet.
"Go...and, Van, make sure you satisfy her thoroughly. I know she has an appetite big as..."
"Yes, Milady. I'm all for her pleasure and desire, but it would be wonderful if you would join us. I would pleasure you as well," Van says sweetly.
"No. Just go. You know that you and Hitomi are mates for life. I couldn't ask for a better brother-in-law than you, Van," Mia says as she swipes her hand toward the door.
Hitomi gets up and the with a show of respect, she kisses the queen's hand. Then, Van kneels on both knees and does the same. Mia smiles and kisses the top of his head and shoos them away. As they walk out of the throne room, Hitomi giggles and pulls Van toward their room.
Sitting back in her chair, Mia closes her eyes, trying to clear her mind of her troubling thoughts. Her guard, Folken, comes from the shadows and then kneels beside the throne.
"Milady, what troubles you?" His sweet-sounding voice washes over Mia.
"Nothing, Folken," she answers as she reaches for him, and he puts his hand in hers.
"I'm here for you, lady. Anything you need or desire I will fulfill."
"Yes, I know, Folken."
He rests beside her, laying his head on her lap.
Also in the shadows, another male is watching them quietly. His cold Prussian blue-colored eyes narrow in his longing for the queen to be his mate. Mia realizes he is there when he grunts unappreciatively.
"Heero, come out of the shadows so I can see you." Mia says in a commanding tone, and he walks from the shadows and kneels in front of her.
"My Queen," he says softly.
"What is it that you want?" the queen asks, looking at him.
"My right to have you as a mate. I've been denied for a long time. I would be faithful to you," he answers with his head down.
"Heero, are you not Relena's mate, whom she claimed so long ago?"
He bows even lower before her. "Yes, but I..."
"You know the law. She claimed you and you agreed. If you leave her it would mean death. I value you too much to do that. You've changed her for the better. Now go before I become angered."
Heero quickly bows his head and leaves swiftly.
Mia's tight leather jumpsuit makes a squishing sound as she gets up.
Turning to Folken she says, "I'm going hunting. Tell Princess Hitomi to watch the Covenant when she is finished with her mating."
Folken stands swiftly and answers, "But, milady, shouldn't I accompany you?"
"No, that won't be necessary. I wish to be alone."
Folken watches as Mia retreats from the throne room.
He bows his head and whispers, "Milady, I love you with all my heart. Please let me be with you."
As he turns to leave, a woman with long, golden blonde hair comes from a door on the opposite side of the room. Her sky blue eyes twinkle at him.
"Folken, where is Queen Mia? I wish to speak with her," the woman says, looking a bit upset.
"She left to go hunting. What is it that you need, Lady Relena?"
"It can wait. Where's the princess? She should be in here."
Relena walks up to Folken with a small grin on her face.
"She is with her husband, having a moment to themselves."
"Oh, I see...they're mating. One would think after so long they would have an heir. I think the queen should banish her for not doing her job. Now I on the other hand, could have a couple of heirs right now."
"Stop talking about the princess like that. When she is ready they will have an heir," Folken says as he clinches his fist.
"I see. Well thank you, Folken."
With that said she turns quickly and leaves.
In the Princess Hitomi's bedchamber:
Their bodies mingle tightly as sweat rolls down Van's back. Moaning Hitomi's name, he pushes deeper and deeper inside.
"Nah, Hit-omi," he says, breathing hard, panting for her.
As he holds her legs up around his waist, he thrusts harder and faster until she cries her release.
"Van..." Hitomi murmurs as he stiffens, crying out his release.
Both of them lay still. His reddish-brown eyes look down into his mate's emerald ones, telling her that he loves her and that he will be with her forever and ever.
Lying entangled in one another arms; he rubs her back, and tells her, "It's time to feed, Milady."
As she looks up into his eyes she asks, "And where would you like it this time? I don't like to bite you in the same place all the time. I want you to be around for many years to come."
She caresses his cheek as he turns to his left side, exposing his neck to her.
"Feed, my beautiful mate."
Hitomi lowers her mouth. The closer it comes to his neck, the longer her fangs grow.
Just as she's about to pierce his neck she whispers, "I love you."
She slowly pushes her fangs into his neck, and he cries out softly as he held onto her tightly. A sensual sensation runs through his body as she sucks his blood. The taste of him drives her wild. That was why she took him as her mate in the first place.
Van had been a king from long ago. Hitomi had been walking in a forest in his kingdom when they first met. Her beauty had captivated him immensely, and he fell instantly in love with her. Slowly they got to know one another. In the beginning they were close friends until one day, he finally confessed his love to her. Wanting nothing to keep them apart, she told him about her life and the vampire covenant. She had informed him that the queen was her sister and that she could not leave. Making an extreme sacrifice, he left his kingdom to be with her for always. Soon after that, his brother came too.
Van and Hitomi are so wrapped up in one another that they don't even notice Relena coming into the room. She watches them in their "intimate" moment with one another, and it makes her remember how she and Heero met. Snapping out of her muse, she sits in a chair by the bed. Looking at Van's muscular body, she can't help but wonder how he would feel against her own skin. As Hitomi opens her eyes she sees Relena sitting beside the bed.
Jumping a little, she addresses her, "What are you doing in here, Relena? Don't you ever knock?"
"I did, but you didn't hear. Apparently you were busy. Please continue. I rather liked the show."
As Van pulls Hitomi a little closer to him, he speaks, "Show your respect to the princess. How dare you come in here and..."
Relena cuts him off, "I'm here to tell you that the queen went hunting alone. She should be here with us because we can provide for her. She needs to be here to protect us."
"My sister can take care of herself. She had to for three hundred years before I came along. As for not taking Folken with her, that's her business. Stop playing the drama queen, Relena. Go and relax. Have your mate tend to you."
"I just don't like this way. We need young blood and the queen is killing us." Relena says as she gets up and starts to head toward the door. Turning back toward the Princess, she smirks a little. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you're trying to kill us as well."
Quickly opening the door, she walks out with an air of haughtiness.
"Oh, the nerve of her! If she wasn't family I would kill her myself." Turning to look into her mates eyes, Hitomi says, "I should go and try to find my sister queen. Dawn will be coming soon, and I can't let you go with me."
Climbing out of bed, Van grabs her hand.
"I'm coming, but I promise you, I'll be back before the sun rises," he says with a pleading look, and Hitomi gives in.
Atop Big Ben:
Mia stands alone atop Big Ben, taking in the view before her. It's two o'clock a.m., and it's actually lively at this time. She watches as speeding cars and motorbikes whiz by and also the boats navigating the Thymes River.
"The world today is very different from one hundred years ago. It smells of decadence,"she says to herself, wrinkling her nose slightly.
Her sea green eyes take in the full view. Taking a leap toward the black alley, she wonders where she'll start her hunt.
At Scotland Yard:
Two young men around the age of twenty-five walk out into the early morning air.
"Hey, Sage, are you ready for some breakfast? Because I'm starving," says Ryo Sanada, a tall man about six foot one with black hair and blue eyes.
Sage just looks at Ryo and shakes his head. "Not yet. We have to meet Rowen at a crime scene. It was called in an hour ago. He said it's a bizarre case, so let's go." Sage Date, a blonde haired, violet-eyed man. He stood about six foot one and had a body to kill for.
He jumps into his dark green Triumph Spitfire. Ryo goes to the other side of the vehicle and climbs in as well.
"So, what makes this case unusual? Ro takes things way out of proportion." Ryo says, turning towards his partner.
"A white male who's about nineteen. Apparently he's white as a sheet and his blood has been sucked dry. Also he's been diagnosis with hemophilia, a blood disorder."
"Wow! That's strange. Where did the crime take place?"
"Down by the riverfront. There are some gothic-themed clubs along there. That may have some bearing on this."
"True, but you don't know that for sure," Ryo says as Sage turns the corner.
At the crime scene:
Walking down the deserted alleyway, Mia smells death. A mortal has died. Wondering about it, she walks toward the riverfront. Flashing red lights and people are gathered at the corner. She watches and then hears a conversation.
"Jona, I told you to keep the people back. Shit! Did you hear me?" a blue haired man says angrily.
"Yeah, Rowen, I heard you...you cocksucker." He says under his breath. "You try to keep them back. Everybody wants to see the stiff," Jona snaps back.
"I don't care what you do. Just do it."
Rowen bends down and takes some skin, hair, and other samples that he needs for the investigation. Taking a closer look at the body, he notices two pin hole pricks at the top of his neck behind the ear.
"Hmm... Interesting," he murmurs.
She inches slightly closer to get a better view of what the man called Rowen is doing. She watches him intently as his eyes trail down the corpse's arm, noticing that the hand is clenched shut. Just as he reaches for it, a couple of young men arrive on the scene. Mia smiles mischievously as she watches the handsome men exit their vehicle. She hears the black haired one greeted as Ryo and the blonde as Sage. She licks her lips as she watches Sage's movements, hungry like a cat for it's prey.
"So, Einstein, what have you got on the stiff." Ryo asks, kneeling beside him.
Sage looks around the area, and his violet-colored eye comes to rest on Mia. He stops, and time seems to stand still as they gaze at one another. Mia smiles and nods to him as she gives him a look full of lust and desire. She pulls him toward her like a magnet, and she then sends primal thoughts through him like a wave.
All of a sudden a vision hits him of a man and a woman on a canopy bed, fucking like monkeys. The moans and screaming driving them to ecstasy. As he stands watching them, he becomes aroused. Then the woman flips the man on to the bottom. Sage finally gets a look at the man that's underneath the woman- the same woman that he was eyeing only moments before. He can't believe it. It's him beneath her, taking in her hip movements! She starts to whisper to him.
"Hey, Sage, hey buddy what's wrong?" Shaking his head a little, he looks at Ryo who's looking at him.
"What happened?" Sage says to himself, quickly looking in the direction he had seen the woman.
He looks all around, but she is no longer there.
"Hey, Sage, what's wrong? Why are you looking around?" Ryo asks.
"Did you see that woman who was standing there a little while ago?" Sage asks as he gestures with his hand to the location the woman had once been.
"What woman? Hey have you been holding out on me? Because if you have, I'm going to seriously beat the shit out of you."
As Ryo keeps talking Sage still scans the area. As he looks to the west down Lowry Street, he sees her retreating form.
"Hold that thought, ok." Sage says as he takes off after her down the street with Ryo calling after him.
The need to find her was great. He sees her turn a corner, and running as fast as he can, he turns the same corner only to find nothing. Looking all around trying to find her, he hears Ryo run up behind him.
"Sage, what the hell is the matter with you? Huh? You take off like a crazy bastard following nothing."
Sage cuts in, "I was following the woman with auburn hair. She came this way, and now she's not here."
"You're freaking me out. Let's get back." Ryo says, turning to go back.
Sage turns to follow him, but then stops and turns back to the way he was heading. A feeling was tugging at his very soul.
"Who are you?" he said to the night air.
My friend Meria wanted to redo it. Hope it's better. Enjoy I'll be redoing chap 2 also.
