Vertiginous Vengeance
Pairing: Narcissa Black Malfoy & Marlene McKinnon
Freeverse.
The temptation
m E r L i N
it nearly kills you
or drives you insane
but of course you don't want to be MAD
(that's your charming sister's thing)
so you fall for it
simply s u c c u m b
and all because
of
a bat with those l o n g eyelashes
a little bit too much firewhiskey
a glint in those ohsoverydark eyes
a feeling that
this Gryffindor girl
knows what she's doing
even though she's in theverywrongplace
surrounded by snakesss
(yes, love, that includes you)
but that she doesn't c a r e
that she's the SUPERior one in here, not you
(for once)
And when she tilts her head
like that
her chin thrust out
smiles
watches you like a lion watching its prey
(and y o u are actually watching her
like a snake
hypnotizing its victim)
sneaking out is easy
&&everything is easy
n o words are needed
just
hands on her waists
a bit of exposed skin
the temptation is even BIGGER
those lips, those eyes, that hair
so d i f f e r e n t from yours
(or maybe from Lucius', right, sweetheart?)
not blondelongthinstraight hair
but darkshortthickcurly
no coldblueicy eyes
but warmbrownfiery
no paletransparent skin
buttannedfreckled
she's more than you could have expected
-ever-
because you knew of her
wittiness
braveness
but her
cheekiness
and
love
surprises you
(and makes you ((too)) comfortable)
the k i s s goes d e e p e r
and you never wants to leave
but of course you
h
a
v
e
to
(but you didn't expect it to be like that, did you, dear?)
it should be YOU ditching HER
not the other way around
YOU are the bloody Slytherin, right?
YOU are the sneaky one
the uncaring one
the heart b r e a k ing one
not the one GETTING her heart
b r o k e n
but that makes you
((((ALMOST))))
wanting her more
but only for revenge this time
(or?)
you want to hurt her
(you're sure?)
make her feel devastated
(really?)
T O R T U R E her
((in a much more creative way than your sis' favourite curse))
but did you r e a l l y expect her to let it go by that?
(or was that why you did it?)
she would never turn a challenge down
((or perhaps it is because
BOTH OF YOU
secretly enjoys it so much))
and so the vicious circle
has begun
and your hearts get crushed
so many times until
there are only
p i e c e s
left
…
