okay this is my first story and i've been encouraged into this bye my friends so i don't know what the outcome will be like and i'd love any feed back, good or bad.

disclaimer: i don't own any of the dark jewels characters in any way. i do own the character sitarsha and all of her interactions with anne bishops characters are of my own making.

The Darkest Lady

He watched her being twirled around the room from old man to old man and snarled in disgust, and then he thought of his own dance partners. The only difference was the age, well that and that she didn't have to get into bed with them if she didn't want to.

Running over and grabbing Daemons hand, i noticed the far away, icy look in his eyes that usually meant someone was going to die. Grabbing at his hand. I sighed, brothers could be so difficult. This was the most powerful MAN in the realm and he was sulking like a child. Oh well nobody dared to force either of her brothers while she was there, so couldn't her just enjoy tonight's dancing and later she, Daemon and Lucivar could all do on a huge crawl. I looked into his eyes again. Maybe not. I need an action plan I decided.

As soon as the dance ended Sitarsha found her other brother Lucivar. He was surrounded by the gaggle of usual crowing women, all looking for there bit of fun.

"Excuse me sugar" I said tactlessly "I need a favour"

Lucivar looked at me gratefully "sur…"

One of the older women looked at me "No he's with us, go find your own pleasure."

I stared at her for a second, finding the words I wanted "Back off bitch. That's my brother and if you wanna fight over him then you can go sit on a stick."

The woman didn't seem to know what to do, then she turned on her heel and heed for my aunt, the family matriarch not to mention…

"I think now would be the time to make an exit" Lucivar muttered.

"You would know best sugar." I replied as we cut our way through the crowd to Daemon.

Lucivar took one look at him then at me and said "We're leaving."

"Now?" Daemon snapped out of the trance a little.

"yup" I said " before we get caught and stopped"

Daemon looked at my aunt Dorothea glaring at us and nodded "Yes, I think now would make a most appropriate exit time."

okay this is the beginning i'll work a little more on a plot next time. this was just to test the waters and get my bearing on the story.
