The overwhelming urge to touch her was insane. What would he give to touch her beautiful skin? Hell, every time they'd fight, he'd stoop to any level just to even get remotely close to her. Even if it meant almost costing his life. The twenty-one year old sighed to himself as he listened to his twin sister ramble on about how much it was his fault that another precious gem of power was stolen from them at the last minute. He loved his sister. He truly did. But sometimes he wished that mouth of hers would just stay shut for a good five minutes. Tuning his sister's voice out, the man starts to daydream again about that one princess that has crystal blue hair. He would kill to nuzzle his face in her soft strands. He was only able to get a whiff or two in when he was fighting her up close and personal. The lingering scent of jasmine and vanilla sugar would enter his nostrils and fill his mind. He had to keep up with his façade so that he wouldn't give into his desire to hug the princess to his body so that he could continue to smell that sweet scent. He got his ass kicked that day, but it was worth it.
"Mephisto?! Are you even listening to me?!" The man with reddish violet hair was abruptly pulled from his fantasy by hearing his older sibling's shrill voice. The man sighed as he turned to face his twin with a bored expression on his face.
"You said what now Prax?" The princess of Zatterra stomped her foot and huffed in annoyance. Why can't her idiot brother listen to her for once?
"You fool! You didn't hear a word I said?!" The younger sibling sighed inwardly. He already accepted the fact that they lost to the princesses for the day and that they'll get another chance to do so. There still are a lot of Oracle Gems to find after all.
"Okay so I wasn't listening Praxina. What were you talking about again?" Mephisto wished that his sister would just somehow write it down and give him what she said earlier so he can get back to dreaming about a certain dark skinned blunette princess. The elder sibling grunted and rolled her eyes. She stood in front of the man and glared at him for not paying any attention to her.
"You idiot! I was trying to tell you about the next plan to get back at the princesses!" Knowing that their lives and their freedom are at stake if they fail their dark lord again, the twenty-one year old sat up and gave his sibling his full attention.
"What evil plan do you have in mind now?" Praxina smirked as she walked near the entrance of the cave.
"Instead of having to attack directly or indirectly, how about attacking them personally?" This piqued Mephisto's interest.
"What do you mean by that?" His twin turned around with a pondering look.
"Remember when we trapped that one boy that Talia was attracted to at one point?" He searched his memory to find the face of the so-called boy that they attacked before. After recalling the face, the younger twin's blood began to boil. The most beautiful princess he ever met was attracted to a mere commoner? As if!
"Yeah, I remember Kale or Lyle or whatever the hell his name is. Why?" Praxina chuckled.
"Remember how upset and hurt Talia was when she found out we tricked her with a fake and captured the real Kyle?" A twinge of guilt shot through Mephisto like an arrow. Thinking back on how he toyed with her feelings made him realize how much of an ass he was. At first, it was amusing to see her off her guard and seeing her slip up when she was supposed to be the strongest of the team. But after falling hard for her, he realized how fucked up it was to make her cry. If only he could reverse time to undo it all.
"Yeah? So?" For some reason, Mephisto didn't like where this plan was going.
"Instead of using a mere earthling to cause friction between the princesses, how about you do the work from the inside?" The younger sibling's insides twisted into a knot. And not in a good way.
"By that, you mean disguise myself as an earthling and make one of them fall for me?" Praxina blinked. Her brother may be an idiot, but he made good plans in the past that actually got them an Oracle Gem.
"Not exactly what I had in mind, but that's brilliant! That way, you can find out their personal weaknesses! And maybe find their spell books and whatnot! It's a fool proof plan!" He had to admit, his sister's plan is vile and genius. There was just one problem.
"There's no way that any of them would be attracted to me. Iris has that one guy at the smoothie bar, Auriana goes out with any guy she has her attention on. Or at least that one clumsy dude at the museum. And Talia wouldn't even look my way after what we did with Kori!" Praxina flipped her hair in annoyance and with pride.
"Then you need to charm that princess of Xeris. You know how she is when it comes to affection. Her guard is rock solid. You need to be the one to tear it down." As much as he dreams of even getting remotely close to Talia, Mephisto knew he couldn't do that. He'd get his ass kicked and his heart crushed. He ran his fingers through his short hair and sighed.
"And how long do we have to pull this off? Gramorr would hand our asses to us if we fail again."
"Let me worry about that. I already know she's as stubborn as a fool—"
"I think you mean 'stubborn as a mule' sis." Blue eyes rolled without caring.
"Whatever! Earth's phrases and words are so confusing! Anyway, we'll set our plan into motion after we figure out what to do for your disguise. I'll do some recon to see what earth's fashion culture seems to be the norm." After that conversation ended, Praxina teleported away into the city. The young prince sighed as he dragged his gloved hands down his face. Of all the evil things he must do, he had to go after the princess he longs for? The same princess that wouldn't give him the time of day? The same princess that relentlessly whoops his ass every time they're in battle? The same princess that nearly killed him and his sister with a powerful incantation from her elder sibling's medallion? The same princess that he fell for the very moment his face came close to her blade at the end of her wand? The same princess he wants to hold? To feel? To touch? To kiss?
"There's no way this would work." Even though Mephisto would go through with this plan, he still felt conflicted. Sure, he'd get the benefit of being close to Talia, but at what cost? Him getting killed by the dark skinned princess? Or getting his heart torn to pieces when she finds out he was only using her? The young prince groaned in confusion.
"Is this what they call 'guilt'? If it is, it's working." But if Mephisto doesn't go through with this, he and his sister would pay dearly for their lives. He didn't mind if something happened to him. But if anything happened to his sister…
"Okay! I'm back with a few ideas. Let's go over how exactly this will go out." Pushing aside his feelings, the man sits down with his twin to discuss how he'll infiltrate the princess' hideout while he shoves the lovely face of his princess in the back of his mind.
"One, two! Alright, that's enough practice for the day." A beautiful young woman breathed out while wiping the sweat off of her forehead. She stretched her arms to the ceiling and stood on her toes to fully stretch her muscles. Delicate fingers ran through silky mocha strands to soothe out some of the tangles. The young woman's smoldering gold eyes looked to two other young women that were bending over their knees in exhaustion. The twenty-year old with bright red hair sighed in relief.
"Finally! I can't wait for a nice hot bath!" The girl with long blonde hair nodded in agreement. They loved their friend dearly but sometimes she tends to be harsh when it comes to practicing. For fighting against the evil twins or for preparing for their next concert. The eldest woman of the group smiled and shrugged.
"Just make sure you don't take up too much time Auriana. You still have that date with Matt tonight." The cute redheaded woman gasped in realization. If she didn't hurry up, she'd be late! Again!
"I totally forgot! I need to hurry up and shower!" Auriana rushed out of the room and raced upstairs. Both women left in the room chuckled at their friend's energetic self.
"Anywho, I'm actually impressed with your improvement Iris. It took you a while to get the dance steps down for this routine." The younger princess of Xeris took a swig of her water bottle and plopped onto the couch. She felt her muscles tense up after sighing in exhaustion. Maybe she should tone down some of the work a bit in both dance and battle practice sessions. Her friend on the other hand fell back and laid across the plush carpet.
"You really worked us this time Talia. But at least we got it down packed for the concert coming up." Both young women laughed when they saw a purple furry animal imitate their dance routine, only to trip and fall flat on its face.
"That was nice Amaru!" Iris sat up and took the purple cat in her arms and snuggled him. The tiny fur ball smiled as he was rubbing his sore head. The Ephedian princess stood up and grabbed her cell phone.
"Gonna stay out all night with Nat again?" A small blush graced the blonde's face.
"Well, I'm actually I'm gonna be staying over with him tonight…" Talia raised an eyebrow as she tried to piece together of why Iris was so embarrassed about staying over her boyfriend's apartment. She's done it before. Why all of a sudden is she now embarrassed to stay there for the night?
"I don't get it. Iris, you've stayed over at his place plenty of times. Why are you getting all flustered for…?" And then it hit her like a ton of bricks. A deep red hue soon rushed to Talia's cheeks as she looked away from her friend. She cleared her throat to attempt to soothe out this very awkward moment. The brunette wrapped her small towel around her neck and picked up her water bottle. She waved for Iris to follow her out of the room.
"Well, ahem, I hope you two have a good time. But please be careful. Your magic can be exposed under the circumstances." Talia felt a bit embarrassed that she had to warn her best friend about accidentally exposing her magic during intimacy. Especially when she herself has yet to experience it.
"A—Alright. I'll see you later!" Iris puts down Amaru and raced upstairs to take a shower and to pack her clothes. Talia sighed to herself as she walked into the kitchen to pull out some left over pizza. The tiny purple fur ball hopped onto the counter and tried to convince the dark skinned princess to give him a slice. The twenty-one year old chuckled as she gave Amaru a small slice of the cold pizza.
"Only one Amaru. Remember, you're going with Aunt Ellen to that cooking convention. Don't wanna get a tummy ache now do you?" Amaru giggled while stuffing his face. Talia grabbed a plate from the cabinet and puts the pizza in the microwave. Hairs stood on the back of the brunette's neck when she heard thundering footsteps make their way down the stairs.
"I'm late again! See you guys later! Bye!" Suddenly, the front door slammed shut. Honey-colored eyes rolled with amusement after the young princess of Volta rushed out to meet her date. The microwave dinged to signify that the few slices of pizza were fully reheated. She had to admit, Earth's food was very tasty compared to the food she had back home on Ephedia. Talia's ears perked up when she heard the doorbell ring. Carefully blowing the hot good to make sure she doesn't burn her tongue, the princess walked to the door and opened it. In front of the door revealed a handsome twenty-year old man wearing a crisp white dress shirt and black skinny jeans. He held a bouquet of purple flowers that curled to the pollen.
"Iris! Nat's here! Hurry up and get down here already!" Talia steps back and allowed Iris' boyfriend inside.
"Nice to see you too Talia. How's practice coming along?" He honestly couldn't wait for their next concert. Nathaniel's been a fan of LoliRock ever since the band was created. He'd always make sure the girls would get discounts of his famous smoothies and have promotional events at his shop. Both heads turned when they heard footsteps descending from the stairs. The man's eyes widened as he saw Iris wearing a strapless black dress with a fluorescent pink belt at her middle. Bright pink high heels with black bows tied at the ankles helped show off those long legs. Blonde hair was put up in a ponytail, but cascaded many curls at the end. The pendant that allows the Ephedian princess to transform gracefully into her magical attire hung in front of her cleavage. Black heart-shaped earrings accented with pink diamonds dangled from the blonde's ear and sparkled in the light. Her lips were painted with a bright fuchsia matt lipstick and look very kissable. What really drew Nathaniel in were her bright blue eyes that popped from the dark blue eyeshadow. The man with brown hair could've sworn that all the air left his lungs when he took a breath. Blood rushed to Nathaniel's face when he realized he was staring at Iris.
"Ahem…You look beautiful tonight." It was now the twenty-year old woman's turn to blush like crazy. Nathaniel gave his princess the flowers she adored so much. Iris took them and went into the living room to put the bouquet in the new vase her Aunt Ellen bought last week. She gently grabbed her boyfriend's arm and they walked out the door. The woman with blonde hair turned her head back to her best friend.
"See you later Talia!" The dark skinned princess waved while trying to finish eating her food.
"Don't forget what I told you!" If Iris would blush any harder, she'd be mistaken for a tomato. Nathaniel noticed Iris' whiplash but didn't question her. He was as nervous about tonight as she was. He led his girlfriend to his car he recently bought from his part-time job and opened the door. She sat in the front seat and buckled her seat belt. After Nathaniel copied Iris, he revved up the engine and drove off into the bright-light city. After waving the couple off and finishing the pizza crust, Talia shut the door to walk back inside only to find Aunt Ellen with a huge suitcase.
"Time to go already?" The elder woman with strawberry red hair smiled as she held little Amaru in her arm. The tiny cat rubbed his stomach in anticipation for all the delicious food he could scarf down as soon as he gets to the convention.
"Alright. Let's go Amaru." The elder woman gave Talia a tight hug. "Are you sure you'll be okay dear?" The Xerin princess nodded.
"Relax Aunt Ellen. I'll be fine. My books will be here to keep me company." Iris' aunt smiled and hugged the young woman again.
"You have your spare key?" The girl nodded. "Alright. If anything happens, call me right away and I'll get back as fast as I can." Talia knew that she wouldn't call the woman that took her and Auriana in if an emergency were to happen. Especially if the "emergency" was just an ambush attack created by two evil twins.
"Will do. Have fun!" Talia watched as the elder woman threw her suitcase in the back of her Jeep and fastened up Amaru. She drove slowly out of the driveway and into the opposite direction of the well-lit city known as Sunny Bay. Talia sighed to herself as she closed the door behind her. The woman with mocha strands for hair walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the fridge. She rinsed it off and took a bite. Despite finally having peace and quiet in the house, a sharp pang of loneliness went through her stomach.
She tried to shake off the feeling, but Talia's mind started to take over. Sure she was glad that her two best friends have boyfriends and are on dates, but what about her? Is there a kind of guy that would look at her the same way? Talia shook her head at the thought. She sworn off boys from this planet until her mission to save her kingdom was completed. And she didn't want to go through the same thing again after what happened with Kyle. Sure he was nice and had good intentions, but it was just creepy of how he kept pursuing her despite the fact that she rejected him plenty of times. After what happened with the twins that day, she decided to give this "relationship" thing a try with him. Talia really did try with Kyle but it seemed like it was just only a spark of interest. Kyle was cute, but he and she have absolutely nothing in common. The first few dates were awkward as hell and she just couldn't see them going anywhere. She broke it off with Kyle and he seemed to have taken it well. That is, until he kept showing up to give her flowers when she repeatedly said that it was over. A haunting chill ran down the brunette's spine. Never again did she want to go through with that. Besides, there's already a guy that she wanted to go out with—
"No way in hell. Nope!" Talia tried to break her train of thought by shaking her head a bit harder. She couldn't believe she would think that! Of all people to be attracted to, it had to be him?
There were plenty of earth boys to be looking at! Hell, there might even be a few cute ones back home on Ephedia! But to think that evil clumsy oaf is actually attractive? Talia must have lost her damn mind. That idiot Mephisto caused her and the others way too many problems with his sister. Every time the girls needed to help someone, those two would just get in the way! Sure, Mephisto was handsome with that burgundy hair and piercing green eyes and those taunting fangs, but he was evil! He and his twin sister were the ones that tricked her into thinking that the real Kyle was working for them! They stole her sister's medallion and taunted her so much to the point where she cried. They took the only connection she had with her sister and destroyed the medallion in front of her very eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Auriana took the jewel at the last minute, Talia wouldn't have known that her sister was still alive. The Xerin princess wouldn't forgive them for all the shit they've done to her. An exhausting sigh escaped Talia's lips. But no matter how much she wants to hate Mephisto, something was preventing her to do so. The princess was getting aggravated with herself and raced upstairs to take a shower. Hot running water helped soothe her muscles as she continued to scrub her skin.
"You sure you want me to keep my hands off of you princess?" The man behind her whispered hotly in her ear. His bare hands slowly traveled down her body. She felt her body get hotter and hotter. Was it from the hot water from the showerhead? Or was it from his calloused hands? His naked frame pressed up against hers as his hand went lower and lower. Honey-colored eyes saw his arm tattered with scars wrap around her middle, holding the princess gently to her lover. She gasped when she felt his fingers slowly touch her most sensitive place of her body. The man with soaked burgundy hair closed his eyes as he pressed his face further into the woman's neck. He gently pierced his fangs into her dark skin, chuckling to himself when he heard the princess moan his name. He felt her body tense up when his fingers played her like a violin. A slow but sweet rhythm made the brunette gasp and breathe deeply. The man behind her was no better when he tried to suppress a moan when he touched her. It was as if he was touching the silk in all of Ephedia. He held her tighter to keep her from collapsing while he continued to stroke her to the melody of her moans. He wanted her to sing for him and only him. The princess' body locked up as his fingers pulsated faster and faster. In an instant, she saw nothing but stars as her body spasmed with pleasure.
"What the fuck?!" Talia screamed as she fell on her ass in the bathtub. Her eyes were wide as she tried to gasp for air. Did…did she seriously fantasize Mephisto fondling her in the shower? Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she kept thinking about it. Talia quickly turned the knob and had the showerhead spew out ice cold water. She tried to calm herself down, but her heart was still racing. The throbbing between her legs wouldn't stop. The princess of Xeris stood up on her very weak legs that almost gave out from her recent orgasm. She turned off the water and grabbed her soft dark green towel. She sat on the toilet and tried to think about something else.
"I need a drink." The dark skinned beauty quickly dried off and blow-dried her hair. She went back into her room and looked for a decent outfit to wear. Since both of her friends decided to go out, why couldn't she? Besides, she needs to get out to clear her mind. After rummaging through her closet and drawers, Talia came to a decision to wear a black strapless shirt with white sequins decorating the neckline and a pair of bright white shorts. She puts on a pair of shiny black stilettos and found her purse that can fit a book or two. For the final touch, she adds on dark red and burnt orange eyeshadow to make her eyes pop. The brunette carefully applied black lip liner around her lips and colored in dark red lipstick to give off a mysterious shadow effect. Talia made sure her Xeris bracelet was on first before she puts on her simple gold hoops. Pleased with herself, the twenty-one year old stashed her wallet, an old spell book, and her phone into her purse and trotted downstairs.
Talia made sure to turn off the lights before stepping outside. She locked the door, but just to be safe, she extended her hand and sealed every window and door from the outside with her magic. The princess then looked around the neighborhood to see if there was anyone coming out of their house or coming down the street so that she wouldn't get spotted using her magic. Seeing that the coast was clear, Talia extended her hand and created a crystal board in the shape of a diamond. She stepped on the crystal and used her magic to fly the board in the air. Walking was fine once in a while, but walking was definitely not an option for these heels. She'd call a taxi for when she gets back home. Talia soared through the air, enjoying the wind blowing through her mocha locks. Once she spotted the familiar neon-lighted sign, the dark skinned beauty descended into a secluded alley. The crystal board disappeared and the twenty-one year old went into her favorite book store. The bell chime rang and alerted the clerk that a customer came in. An elder man with olive skin smiled when he saw his favorite customer.
"Evening Talia!" The young woman smiled with pearly whites.
"Good evening Mr. Adam! How have you been?" The older man smiled back and walked from behind the counter.
"Enjoying life as we speak! I'm sure you're here for downstairs right?" Talia nodded as they came to a stairwell. They went down the stairs and came to a steel door. Adam opened the barrier and escorted the princess inside. Soulful jazz music filled the room along with many customers either sitting at the bar, tables, pool tables, or on the dance floor. The live band was different from last time.
"Enjoy yourself Talia! I can't wait to see you guys perform soon!" Talia waved goodbye to the store clerk and walked further inside. She was soon escorted to a reserved seat at the bar. The woman had to admit, the perks of being a well-known band member had its advantages with extra goodies. Talia puts her purse on the bar and takes out her book. Luckily the staff are friendly to everyone and looks out the creeps that shouldn't belong in the club.
Talia adores this place. Anytime she wanted to read a good book and have a drink at the same time, she'd come to the bookstore's underground club. She's been to several clubs with her friends as the band, but huge parties aren't her thing. Plus, she actually liked some of earth's genre of music. She hasn't heard anything like this back on Ephedia. The intelligent princess was so absorbed into her book, she didn't realize that the bartender was right in front of her, ready to take her order.
"Miss?" A voice that sent delicious shivers down Talia's spine forced her to look to the source. Honey-colored orbs saw a seriously handsome man. His hair bright red like the princess of Volta and pulled into a low ponytail. His skin was like precious porcelain that the princess of Xeris was aching to touch. But the scars that adorned his skin were just begging to be traced by her itchy fingers. The opened ruby dress shirt and black wife beater under it was snug against the man's body. She could practically see how ripped he was! But the one thing that stood out to Talia the most was the man's eyes. They were a lustrous green, as if they were beckoning to follow their every whim. The slight slit in the middle reminded Talia of the serpent that sweet-talked Eve into eating the forbidden fruit. The man chuckled and that brought Talia out of her stupor. She blushed with absolute embarrassment after realizing she was staring at the man like an idiot. Xeris' young princess cleared her throat while trying to calm her beating organ in her chest.
"I apologize for staring at you like that. It was…out of character for me." The red head waved off the brunette's stammering and held out his hand. When the man that's dripping with sin smiled, Talia could've sworn she saw fangs for a brief second.
"Maybe we should start over. The name's Loki. But I'd prefer it if you call me 'Meph' and I'll be your bartender for the night."
HIIIIIYAAAAA! GODDAMN IT'S BEEN A LONG WHILE! Well, this is a new story from scratch that will definitely be hard to write because as you can tell from an italicized paragraph above, this is my first story as a sin. That's right! My first sin! Believe me, it's a hell of a lot harder to think about and to write than to read it. Seriously. I spent two days on that paragraph alone. Also, it was hard trying to come up with the last few paragraphs because I had no idea how to end it. It's like I knew what my idea was, it was just hard to fully write it down without making it sound off. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this new fic! I honestly ADORE LoliRock! Who knew that this show was so fucking good?! Now all it needs is a line of merchandise that I'll saw my arm and leg off for! (Just kidding lol...maybe not...) Also, I was inspired to get this going because of this FUCKING AMAZING WRITER named KireiNoTsuki. I swear, she's like a fucking GENIUS when it comes to sinning! You should really look on her profile and read her stories! And if she's reading this, just know that the story has just begun ;) . Anyway, let me know if I have any errors with spelling or grammar! I already started with the second chapter for this story, now I just need to keep writing! Also, I fucking turn twenty in two days. TWO. FUCKING. DAYS. I have to admit, I'm pretty fucking proud of myself for making it this far. For those that don't know and/or read my commentary at the bottom of some stories, for the past four, maybe five years, I've been struggling so hard with depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation. I've had problems with my mother for so long and I almost took my life on Thanksgiving Day in 2015. I've gone to therapy, (still am here on campus), and I'm really trying hard to cope properly. I've been through so much shit and I'm amazed at how I'm still going. With that aside, I'm also EXCITED AS FUCK FOR KINGDOM HEARTS 2.8 BEING RELEASED TODAY! The problem though is that my PS4 won't arrive in time for the game D'x . Which FUCKING SUCKS because I know that there will be MAJOR spoilers. Hell, people already posted walkthroughs and boss fights of the game when it had yet to be officially released. At least I'm getting my pre-ordered copy though. Now that I'm done with my emotional story and rambling, I hope you guys enjoy this! Again, let me know what errors I made in the reviews! Happy reading everyone! :)
