Underworld: Through the Ages
It was nighttime. She was a telepathic beauty. Aged 18 in human years, weighing 150 lbs, all muscle (but some softness ;)), and standing at 5'7", she was the object of everyone's thoughts. She would know. She could hear them.
Her short, spiky black hair dripped tiny water droplets onto the stone floor as she stepped out of the bathtub and wrapped a soft pink towel around her head. Then, she clumsily slipped onto the floor, face first into the hard, cold stone. Blood dripped from her nose. She shivered. The smell of it filled her senses. She could taste it in her throat. It was so disgusting. Stupid Luna she thought to herself. Slipping and getting a nose bleed in a place like this. They could kill me! A knock came at the door. "Just a moment, please!" She called out. Throwing her robes on and stuffing a tissue up her nose, she opened the door to find Viktor, the elder of the coven, wide eyed and disgusted. "I'm sorry father," Luna pleaded, "I must learn to be more gracious. Please forgive me." He patted her on the shoulder. Gently caressing her hair he replied, "Don't fret, my daughter, you'll learn. Don't expect to be as agile and gracious as your sister, Sonja. She is much older than you are. At least you were blessed with the beauty of the family. And you are my favorite." This stung. Not only had he insulted her sister, he had said that Luna wasn't the smart one. Despite this she had to thank him. "Thank you father. You are too kind." He chuckled and said, "Run along now, you must have something better to do than injure yourself."
She smiled and ran down the corridor, letting the breeze dry her hair on the way to her sister's bedroom. "Sonja! Sonja where are you? I need to talk to you! It's important!" Sonja looked at her sister coldly. "And what is it that's so important that you have to interrupt my reading?" She answered. "I just wanted to say hi…" Luna said bashfully. Sonja laughed and smiled at her. She had such a beautiful smile. Luna rarely saw it. What is it you want to talk about, kiddo? Oh! Can you do me a favor? Sonja thought to Luna. Sure what is it you want me to do? Sonja scooted to the other side of her bed and reached into a drawer, pulling out a scented note with beautiful calligraphy adorning it. I want you to deliver this to Lucian. It's very important. Luna smirked. Please, it's just one of your love letters again, isn't it. Fine, I'll take it down to him. But you have to give me some of your blood later. You know as well as I do that it's the only thing I can bear to drink. Sonja nodded and reminded her to not tell Viktor. If he found out, it could mean death. Luna hid the note against her bosom and ran down to the blacksmithing area of the castle. Her bare feet thudded against the stone as she ran, giggling to Lucian. He knew he could be calm around her, for Viktor thought that he was just Luna's play toy and that he wasn't a threat in any way. What do you have for me today? He thought. Just another love letter. She sprayed it with lavender this time. Your favorite, right? Ah, I don't care. I'll leave on your table. Don't let anyone see it. I'll talk to you later. Lucian nodded and went back to work as Luna set the letter down next to a hammer and some metal.
Later that day, Luna had noticed that her sister had gone from their room. She tuned into her thoughts and turned bright red. Shaking the thoughts out of her head, and having figured out what her sister was doing that night, she went to the bathroom to check her face. It was extremely pale. Her lips were ruby red and her eyes were a dark black. Thank superior breeding. Not everyone gets these looks. That's what her father said to her once. Luna could care less what she looked like. Her hair was always a messy black mess and she never wore any makeup. Luna sighed and went to bed. "Went to bed" = put herself into a meditative state much like sleeping, except it lasts for days. This was a requirement her father gave her when he found out she was telepathic. He said her meditating would heighten her senses and grant her more power. When she awakened, all was chaos.
