Anomie
By: Forgotten Sunrise
AN: I couldn't Let one person just dominate James/Leah. So I had to make a second piece so at lease I could be a percentage. This one is slightly on the dark side, about Anomie tending towards sociopathic behaviour. I might make an alternative ending but, who know? I hope you like it!
Anomie
[French, from Greek anomiā; lawlessness, from anomos, lawless : a-, without; see a-1 + nomos, law; see nem- in Indo-European roots.]
All he knew was that he wanted it. For all his smarts and brains, it was all he could conceive. He really wasn't such a bad guy. Not in the slightest. But with a crippling case of tunnel vision, he was blinded by the light at the end.
a·nom'ic (ə-nŏm'ĭk, ə-nō'mĭk) adj. relating to or characterized by anomie
She trashed up against him, but it was of no use. He had caught her off guard; caught her when she just knew she was safe. There was a line, a boundary. None of the leeches had ever crossed it before. She screamed out, her yell piercing the evening skies. But it was too late. His teeth were already deep in the fold of her neck, rupturing her aorta.
To him, her blood was as sweet as candy. And her scent-the most alluring thing he had ever come across. He was tempted to just drain her right then and there, but he had come this far. Patient would be a virtue.
an·o·mie or an·o·my (ān'ə-mē)
n. 1) Social instability caused by erosion of standards and values. 2) Alienation and purposelessness experienced by a person or a class as a result of a lack of standards, values, or ideals
He had ruined her. There was no skirting around that fact. Shape-shifters were never meant to be bitten. She grew weaker and weaker with each passing day. His vampric acid that mucked her veins and slowed her blood flow would soon be the death of her if she didn't get it flushed out of her system soon.
Victoria kind of hoped that James never made the connection. She wanted to see the small she-wolf die. Not because she disliked like her; on the contrary, Victoria felt like Leah was quite the character. How she was so defiant in the face of powerlessness and whatnot.
But she had caught the attention of her lover. So now she should have to die.
anomie–noun Sociology. A state or condition of individuals or society characterized by a breakdown or absence of social norms and values, as in the case of uprooted people.
James was oblivious to the condition in which his captive was in. All he saw was her perfect body before him as he ravaged it limp. His mind was rotting in a state of extacsey and everything was right; to him at any rate. He couldn't hear her snarls of anger. He couldn't feel her desperate yells reverberate in the back of her throat as she expelled the last of her strength, willing rescue to come.
He assumed that she was having just as good of time as he.
"We must now brace ourselves for disquisitions on peer pressure, adolescent anomie and rage" (Charles Krauthammer).
