DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BLOOD+

Time: Vietnam war

*'w'*

Amshel just couldn't help but notice the proximity between Diva and her latest female chevalier. It had not been long since Lilith was turned into a chiropteran and Diva seemed to be completely obsessed with her in a way he had never seen.

Out of all the chevaliers, Lilith was the most human. She always had a silly look on her face and was the giggliest of all. Although they looked like they were of the same age, Lilith's immaturity often exceeded Diva's. But the latter didn't mind it. Whenever she felt like Lilith – her dearest Lily, as Diva preferred – had crossed the limits, she made it sure that she had taught her a lesson. And Lilith could never say no.

*'w'*

ONE EARLY MORNING

They sat together under the tree, looking at the roses in the garden. Diva played with Lilith's shoulder length black hair, while carefully placing her head on her chevalier's lap. Diva's gaze slowly shifted from Lilith's face to her dress – a white silk frock that reached her knee's with splashes of blue and green. It was made just according to her nature: serene and cool. She had slipped off her shoes and had asked Diva to do the same saying that the feel of the cool morning dew with your bare feet is amazing. Although it seemed stupid at first, Diva gave in to the puppy dog smile. Fortunately for Lilith, Diva didn't regret it.

So innocent.

and all mine to exploit.

Diva smirked at the thought of the first time she had convinced Lilith into spending the night with her. She thought it would be just another night with a few bites. But what transpired between them left Diva in utter shock. And pleasure.

'Someone is happy.'

She woke up from her dream to a lazy voice coming from above and was greeted by deep Caribbean blue eyes looking right through her with a softness that made all the blood in her body rush up to her cheeks. Pale-pink lips held a smile that lit her cream-tinted face which was only comparable to the glow while looking up to the heavens. Her hair fell before her eyes making her look more serene.

What is this weird feeling?

'Are you going to answer me or keep blushing?' Lilith chuckled at diva's startled face.

'I didn't know that was a question.'

Diva sat up, trying to look as upset as possible due to the 'rude comment'. After all, she is a queen.

'You still need to learn how to talk to a queen,' Diva said while looking away. She knew it would be difficult to be angry if she faces her. Lilith had amazing convincing power and Diva would often lose to it.

'And probably leave her alone for a while.'

They turned to their left and looked up from where the voice came. Lilith tried hard not to twitch her nose. It didn't matter to her that Amshel was the eldest or not. She had developed a dislike for him ever since she realized his intentions. Their first meet had been better – she felt like had found family – but soon it was clear that she had something that Amshel was going to use for his misdeeds or 'experiments' as he calls them.

'Amshel!' Diva shrieked with joy, relieved that now maybe the situation would be in her favour. She had a tendency to get upset with Lilith particularly due to the fact that she knew Lilith would go to any extent to make her happy which increased the fun in the game.

Diva grabbed amshel's arm and spun around it to face Lilith. She smiled uncontrollably for a while then pouted her lips and tried to sound serious.

'That's right. You need to learn how to behave properly. I spend most of my day with you, this is the least you could do.'

'Now, my dear, do you really need to grill her for this?'

'If you say so.'

Lilith's eyes widened. She gritted her teeth but desperately tried to avoid the two people from seeing her do it and tried to be calm. Is he doing me a favour? Who does he think he is?

Amshel knew that those mere words were enough to annoy the little chevalier to the hilt. Her dislike of him was not unknown to Amshel. He had noticed it himself how she blocked him from coaxing her into doing his work. She preferred to stay around Diva and had no intentions to take part in any battles or experiments. But she had to.

'So, are you going to apologize or not?'

A startled Lilith looked up to meet face-to-face with an impatient chiropteran queen. Diva's long dark hair fell over her shoulders beautifully. Despite the fact that she was wild in every way, her individual emotions could never be complete without the child-like personality she wears. Blue glittering orbs always carried a sense of pride but behind all the madness and blood, Diva was broken. And everyone understood it except Amshel.

She knelt down on one knee and lifted her arm and placed it over it. Her other arm lay straight, fingers spread out to support her body weight. Her head was bent down; her hair flew as the soft breeze blew it away. Everything stood still for a moment. Different sounds from distant areas could heard as a cold silence fell upon them. The leaves rustled softly but they died down in front of the loud beating a single heart.

Lub-dup….lub-dup….lub-dup….lub-dup….

'I deeply regret my actions towards you, my dear queen. I beg for forgiveness.'

The moment these words slipped past Lilith's lips, Diva stopped breathing. Amshel, who generally stayed normal, more like emotionless, was quite surprised himself. There was a charm in her voice. It almost sounded like a melody which was only less beautiful to Diva's song. It was heartfelt – or so it sounded – and almost made the queen wonder if she was dreaming. It was quite known that the pace and pitch of Lilith's voice varied with her moods and situations which was enough to make or break people. This was just another display of her control over herself.

So perfect, Diva thought.

So precisely calculated, Amshel thought.

Lilith didn't raise her head. Diva felt like there was more to the words. They felt so deep. She could feel the Caribbean blue eyes looking at her the way they always did – lovingly. But she was scared to close her eyes. Scared as if everything in her life will vanish if she closes down. Scared like child who knows about the dreadful beating that is set to come. Scared like a lover about to lose his love. Scared like the innocent man who knows that one day, all his lies will be caught. Scare like a queen who would lose all that she reigned.

Why? No…what? What is this? This sudden feeling…fear…

A minute had passed by. Diva, who was now frustrated by being tormented by something unknown in her head, let out a sigh. She walked ahead and leaned a bit to hold Lilith's hand that she had placed upon her knee with both her hands. Words were not needed.

Raising her head to look at the innocent smile above her, Lilith stood up as gracefully as possible. Her eyes were meant solely for the queen.

'You must have a lot of work to do given that you are always so busy'

Diva looked at Amshel who was still frozen at his spot. She looked up and the continued speaking.

'A lot of time has been wasted, I believe. And I think that she won't repeat her mistake again, would you?'

'Not at all.'

*'w'*

Understanding her gesture he went inside the mansion, thinking to himself about the event that had just happened.

She definitely knows how to manage her multiple personalities. Quite organized I must admit.

Amshel smiled to himself as he reached his study room. Closing the door behind him, he slowly walked over to the wooden cabinet on the left side of the room, pulling out a file from it. He flipped through the pages until finally reaching the desired target.

She would be perfect for the job.

*'w'*

'So, am I forgiven?' asked Lilith, returning to her general nature.

'Great that you asked,' Diva swirled around and then stopped in front her. Dangerously close.

'Because you are not.'

Diva pushed the girl away with a finger, her eyes looking lustfully at the lithe figure staring back at her in utter dismay.

'Well, is there anything I can do?'

'You will be punished.'

'Punished?'

Diva nodded childishly. She took slow but long steps to reach her chevalier. Wrapping her arms around her neck, diva pressed her lips gently on hers. They kissed for a while before she pulled away.

'In my way, if you don't mind.'

She pressed her red lips on her pale pink ones, urging her to return the kisses back. Lilith gave in to it not wanting to upset her queen. But she didn't do much to pleasure her as such hoping that it would divert her mind from the ideas that were fruiting wildly inside her.

Diva broke the kiss to catch her breath. Panting, she looked into the eyes of the girl who now held her tightly at the waist. She was pleasantly surprised when she saw Lilith's eyes glowing the same blue as hers. Seeing it as sign of agreement and consent, she smiled wickedly. Beads of sweat trickled down her face to neck. She could feel her body heat rising. She smacked her lips. The same feeling downed on her that always did before she 'punished' her dearest Lily.

Lilith knew that it was of no use trying to stop Diva from doing what she wanted to do. They had reached that last stage where only the interruption of someone could have stopped this from happening. The heat from her body was burning Lilith. Her dress got soggy at the back due to all that sweat. She tightened her grip around Diva's waist.

Eyes glinting in the sunshine, Lilith opened her mouth to breathe in some cool air. Diva making full good of the opportunity threw herself at Lilith and grabbed her lower lip and sucking on it like a baby sucking its mother's teats. Lilith returned her kisses with the same passion. Closing their eyes they savoured the feel of the foreign honey mixing with their own, moaning as they felt the bliss shaking them from inside. Diva slipped her hands around Lilith and rubbed her hand in a slow motion. Lilith opened her mouth for Diva's tongue to enter. Their tongues battled and explored each other's territories, unable to stop themselves from relishing the sweet warmth sweeping them off their feet. This had to be the best thing Diva could ever get from a girl.

Diva pushed the lithe figure towards the tree without breaking the kiss and pressed her chest hard against hers. Then she waited for Lilith to make her move. She couldn't stop herself anymore. The very idea of Lilith doing the things Diva wanted her to do and what she could do herself was orgasmic itself. It sent tingling sensations all over body, warmth sweeping between her legs.

The wait was getting longer but nothing seemed to happen. Finally, Diva lost it. She stepped back and glared at Lilith. The poor girl blinked in astonishment. This is not what generally happened. For a second she couldn't tell what was happenening. Her mind was still fuzzy from the steamy action – the way Diva's luscious lips had attacked her, how the hands slithered over her back in the silkiest manner, the sensuous heat…

'Hey?'

Realizing where she was and what was going on, Lilith raised her head and saw Diva biting her lower lip in the naughtiest way as if saying that whatever happened next would blow her away. Letting out a sigh, her facial muscles. She gave a faint smile and smirked as the look on the queen's face turned to shock. The eyes gave away.

'Are you ready for me, my queen?'

'If you can raise the bar higher.'

'Don't scream at me if I scare you'

'Scare me?'

Diva's eye glittered blue. She looked around to see if anyone was watching. Though it was of no use – someone or the other must be around – she did it customarily. Pulling her chevalier closer, she stood in front of her, so close, and then whispered sensuously in her ear…

'Your mine.'

Lilith smiled wickedly to herself.

'I'm glad.'
