Alright, I've got one reviewer! I was originally SilverNightRain, but I changed my name. Don't panic, it's still me! :D
Thank you ExWilder for the review! I hope more of you are drawn to my story. It's coming along...I have a pretty big idea for it. :) I hope you all enjoy! (And I plan on re-editing this chapter when I think of some more stuff. :)
His pages swayed, black words beginning to become jagged in the dimming moonlight. Kaname's eyes narrowed, his loose fist tightening against his resting face.
"Failed again, haven't you, Riko?"
The novel launched out his hand as if it were trying to escape the pureblood's scalding gaze. Ripping itself back open, the pages violently flipping through the air, Kaname's gaze hardened.
"You've failed me for the final time, Riko."
The pages froze then stopped turning, the book gaping wide open to the middle. Kaname brushed back a lock of hair and stood, glass cracking behind him. Silent, he strode over to his novel and kicked it opposite of him, drifting down the hall and out of sight.
Meanwhile…
Squeaking pulses echoed in the faint darkness, the reeking of stale fear and mildew hanging around wherever she was. Riko gripped beside her, leather straps tightening against her pulsing veins and she attempted to move her head.
Restrained.
Open my eyes?
Darkness.
"I need you to inhale."
Riko's heart skidded at the sudden voice, stiff fingers bent like claws.
"Why?"
A contrast of nutty, sweet air drifted towards her and Riko shook her head as best she could.
"I'd take the blindfold off if I could," the voice seemed to shrug.
"Why can't you?"
"Your head and eye injuries are rather severe."
Riko digressed, slowly inhaling the nutty sweetness and her body instinctively relaxed.
"That wasn't so bad now, was it?"
The woman remained quiet and continued to slowly inhale, her head becoming light.
Never allow yourself to be used by vampires.
But she allowed herself to be used.
That's all she was.
A tool…
Something for the prince to use and throw away as he so pleased.
But it's such an honor for Kaname to give you special attention! Her mother's voice rang.
No…it wasn't. Being shipped off to a strange world with strange people was no blessing.
But that was years ago.
Centuries…
"And inhale one more time."
Still blindfolded and lightheaded, Riko's intoxicated body obeyed, inhaling until the substance was so sicken and sweet, she slipped back into unconsciousness.
