You guys need to review. Even if you hate the story and want me to drop it! Alright, this chapter will, hopefully explain the characters a bit more. This is mostly in Lilith's first person.
As I turned, hearing the large double doors open, accompanied by trumpets, I laid my eyes on those that'd come through the door.
There, standing in the arched doorway, was Shadow-Sama. My father works as a boss for a company that goes hand in hand with Shadow's, so I've met him before.
Yet, suddenly, I started to feel dizzy, the smell of blood and hormones filling the atmosphere. When I glanced to Shadow's left, there stood the source of the wonderful smell.
I'd heard about her often as being the 'runaway princess' to the Momomiya family. The name soon spread, however, to the whole of the vampiric world. I'd always heard that she'd been short and stocky, and had quite an attitude, but as I gazed at her from my place in the middle of a large group of followers, I saw that they must've meant when she was younger. Because, as I stared at her now, she seemed very tall, despite the heels. Her frame was extremely thin, she seemed to closely resemble a cat.
"Oh, why hello there! You must be Shadow's little sister. Hi, I'm Lilith. Nice to meet you. I hope we can become great friends." I'd lifted my hand, hoping that she would shake it and become another follower, but instead, she just stared coldly towards me. Soon, after a few seconds of deadly silence, and expecting stares, she stated"
"No offense, but I've seen what you do to those you say you want to become friends with. You befriend them then backstab them. All in one quick, easy swoop. Not even having to close you eyes once. So, forgive me for not wanting to have the same done to myself." after that cold blow to my pride, she simply turned and began to socialize with my father and some of his colleagues. Soon, and to my utter displeasure, a crowd had gathered, and the taunting began. What surprised me though, was that the girl had turned, her cold stare was fixed on the large crowd.
"Hey! That's enough with the taunting and teasing and laughing! I've said my peace. That was only my opinion and reason for not befriending her. I hold no grudges against her. Now, for both of our sakes, and yours as well, shut the hell up." after this, she turned back and began to converse again.
"So, you really are a smart girl. I respect you and your opinion. And, thanks for stopping the taunting." I couldn't help it, no one else had ever been so brave for my sake.
"Um, forgive me for asking but; aren't you supposed to be talking with your friends or something?"
Actually, because of earlier, all my friends had started to laugh at me, only shutting up when she glared at them.
"Well, it's just that I feel a lot better. I mean, being around you. Seeing how honest and truthful you are, it's really amazing. Could we-could we please become friends?! No one else has ever bothered to say something like that to me. Then turn around and save that person from the taunting, ruthless, guests." it was true that I'd acted like a huge jerk to get what I wanted, and now, well, I wanted her blood. What she'd done for me topped it off.
I was drawn in by her sent, and I'll tell you, it was a great sent too.
It smelled of a very old wisdom, a very young body, and a very oldfashioned soul. I needed that blood, more than anything else right now.
It is said, that when a vampire feels this way, and is able to smell another sent so strongly, that the other person is a higher authority than you. It is also said, however, that if you can take that vampires blood, willingly on their part, then you could rise to a power position equal to theirs.
So, thinking that I could win her over, I decided that the closest I could get as of now was a dance.
She'd obviously seen my uneasiness, because she stretched out her hand, signaling that she excepted the dance.
Soon the music began, it was a slow song, much to her displeasure. Yet, this was the perfect way to get close to her. So, gradually coming closer, we were now dancing in each others arms.
"Um, no offense, but I thought that this would be a faster song. I'm not very good at dancing, so please excuse me. I must go and get some fresh air." she whispered, trying to pull away.
In response, I pulled her in, holding her closer to me. Soon, I left my head sit on her shoulder, where it was quite comfortable. And as I gazed around the room, I caught the jealous stares that everyone: girls, guys, her brother, all shot me. In return, I just grinned, letting her guide me around the dance floor.
That was another thing I sensed in her blood. She was too polite to pull out of a dance, if the other person doesn't want to. Also, that she was a divine dancer. Yet, I knew that from the moment we began to dance.
I guess it paid, having your dance partner be taller than you. Yet, she was a gentle giant, grudgingly continuing to dance with me.
"By the way, what's your name? Hmm?" I peered up, slowly lifting my head from her chest.
"Ichigo." she stated bluntly as we turned and swayed to the music.
"Aw, you don't like dancing?" I asked, pulling my face closer to her.
"No offense again but, I don't normally dance with another woman. So, if you could please let go of me, the music just stopped." again, she was so blunt and cold about it.
But, I was determined. I wanted her blood, I wanted it all to myself. This way, I could be the only other person as high in authority as Ichigo. I sensed that even Shadow didn't have that kind of authority. So, even if she's another woman, I'm still gonna get her blood. I just have to make her fall for me.
Soon though, I started to daydream.
'Oh, Lilith-Sama!' my fangs pierced her neck, I felt the warm liquid pouring out into my throat. I could feel her arms wrap around my body, her palms holding me close. I pulled my fangs from her neck, leaving behind a small pair of fang marks.
I gazed down at her. The once high and mighty, cold staring Ichigo was now so innocent and fragile under me.
The blush on her face, the way she looked away from my gaze. It was all so cute.-WAIT! Why would I think that would be cute? She's another girl!
I guess it's the fact that I really want to break her. To bend her to my will. I want to be able to walk into a large office building, head held high. With Ichigo following close at my side. Having her influence would be key if I ever wanted to become the vampire queen.
"Ahem. If you don't mind letting me go, that'd be great. Besides, I have to use the restroom." she stated coldly, pulling away from me. I guess I wouldn't let her go, because soon I felt two guards peel me away.
"Oh, Ichigo-Sama's so kind. She even agreed to dance with that blood whore. But I feel bad for her, I mean did you see the way that lowly girl was latching onto Ichigo? She's just too kind to be having someone like HER take advantage of her." those were the voices of two of my closest ex-followers, Sharon and Amber. I didn't even bother to turn back around, I stormed into the restroom after Ichigo, determined to win her over. I wanted, so desperately, to make that fantasy of mine come true.
As I entered, Ichigo had just gotten done washing her hands, all the while she was humming a lighthearted melody. I couldn't believe it, she acted so cold to me earlier, and here she is now, humming like she was the happiest girl in the world.
"Alrighty, I'll be outta here by tomorrow afternoon! Shadow'll be at work, so it'll be easy. I can't wait to go home! Even if they ARE human, they're a lot better than everyone here." she finished drying her hands off and disposing the towel, when she noticed me.
"Oh, hello Ichigo! Hey, I'm really sorry about what happened out on the dance floor earlier. It's just that-"
"You weren't thinking right, it was just spur of the moment? Yeah, this's happened on numerous occasions with other vampires who want my blood. Please, just save us both the effort and go away. I'm not asking you anymore, I'm telling you." with that, she tried to simply walk right on passed me. Well, I wasn't going to be ignored, I was going to get what no one else could. I was going to get her blood. So, with my fangs bared and my eyes slitted, I jumped forward, pinning her wrists to the wall of the far end of the bathroom.
"Oh? So, you're gonna get mad, just because you think you need my blood to become queen and you can't have it? My, I've never seen such a tantrum before. You DO realize that the only way my blood could be affective, is if I give it willingly, right?" she just stood there, a comfortable look in her eyes. This's obviously happened to her before.
"Listen you, I'm gonna find some way to get you to give me that blood! You'll even become my assistant once I'm queen. I won't rest till I-"
"That's ENOUGH! Get your filthy hands off of my sister and leave this ball. You're lucky your father doesn't know how you're acting. He'd probably like to know though." I glared over to where Shadow stood, leaning on the frame of the door, one leg crossed in front of the other.
"Give me my sister, or I can make things worse for you and your father-"
"Shadow, don't you DARE bring her father's job and life into this. He's a fine businessman and you're screwed if you fire him. Also, I don't think it's right that you threaten her like that." she turned her attention back to me. "Now, if you could please let me go, I'd really appreciate it." she stated, a little more emotion in her voice. I looked up to where she stood, my hands still clasped tightly around her wrists, high above her head. I didn't want to let her get away for some odd reason. So, thinking it would work, I tried blackmail.
"Last chance, either give me your blood or I can tell your big brother about how you're going to escape." I whispered into her ear, making sure we made eye contact as I pulled away.
"Uh, I don't really think that's necessary, I think your loud mouth just gave it away." she stated, all the previous emotion and connection lost.
"Ichigo, this really hurts, I thought we had a deal. After all is said and done, I was going to let you go back. I guess now I'll have to make it two months then." he was holding his head to one side in his hand as he stepped closer to us.
"You," he glared down at me. "I won't bring your father into this, or hold this against you. But, didn't I tell you to leave?" with that, he grabbed the back of my neck and tossed me outside, into the middle of the room.
Seconds later, I saw him pull her out by her wrist, her face shone in defeat as she followed him out the door and into the night.
People, have you lost the ability to REVIEW?! This was in Lilith's first person, the next chapter will be regular.
